I dont have the patience to do a good drawing of it rn but. Ryley Robinson. with a mullet.
like he doesn't bother cutting his hair once he gets stuck on 4546B so it just grows out and he ends up with a mullet and the roots of the streaks he has dyed grow out and start to look weird and he starts wearing his hair up in like a manbun or just a high ponytail.
Edit: this is mostly to placate myself but i do actually have a shitty little doodle from today
gonna try drawing him FOR REAL with his hair up
i got just a little silly in the car teehee
so ive been OBSESSIVELY playing Slime Rancher 2 since I got it a few weeks ago and I finished the actual (released) lore maybe a week ago and OH BOY OH BOY DO I HAVE THEORIES!!! So. To put it simply (and because I think it sounds funny without any initial context) I think Gigi is the future daughter of Hobson and Thora who traveled back in time to destroy the Prismacore.
There's more to it. but i think its very funny to say it like that right off the bat
Evidence Time: -Mochi says that the fireflies you find around Rainbow Island are way too advanced and that they're impossible with current technology. (Time travel implications. It's believable that all the other ranchers we talk to would be kind of like an extended family for Thora and Hobson's kid, so Mochi being an "aunt" for them isn't unbelievable. What I'm getting at is that Maybe Mochi gave the kid some of her tech.) -Gigi says that her childhood feels like a different lifetime. This could just be her saying that after showing the Prismacore to the unnamed company (that I have hatefully dubbed Alterra) makes this current time feel so distant from her childhood, but I feel like one of Gigi's dialogues is something about her feeling like all her memories are playing all at once/out of order/shit like that. (Possible symptom of Prismacore time travel?) -Gigi mentions that her mother was upset she never got to meet her grandma. This is important because Thora looks like an older woman. It makes sense that she never would've met her grandmother if her mother is Thora's age (I'd guess mid 50's-mid 60's) -Gigi has literally fused with part of the Prismacore. Her memories and the possibility of her traveling through time could be a prisma-disruption made manifest by her desire to go back in time to fix the mistake of showing the Prismacore to Alterra -There is also mentions of Gigi growing up on the Far, Far Range on a ranch with her mother and father. The only child we know of who could have grown up (or will grow up as of now) on the Far, Far Range is Thora and Hobson's child. Counter-Evidence Time: -Gigi says that she is what caused the Glass Desert to become a desert. If I'm remembering correctly from the first game, Hobson arrived at the Glass Desert after it became a desert. Unless Gigi time-traveled to the Far, Far Past (ba-dum-tssss) before Hobson and Thora even got together, this doesn't make sense. Or maybe she's from an alternate timeline? -Gigi implies that her parents didn't truly believe in her, or encourage her to do what she wanted. I could chock that up to her being an unreliable narrator, but that's just a shitty excuse. Thora and Hobson don't seem like the type of people to discourage their child from their dreams.
Yeah that's it. That's all I got rattling around in my skull about this. That and the theory that Gigi will disappear (at least from the past) with the destruction of the Prismacore. Because clearly the game is leading up to the destruction of the Prismacore. And then, after she fades out and says her goodbyes to Beatrix, we get a message from Thora and Hobson about their newborn daughter, Gigi.
THIS IS FOR ALL MY DELULU BABYS AND GRILLS
HE HAS ARRIVED
(This is part of the worldbuilding for my urban fantasy couple) The Dark Ages From the beginning of time, humanity has lived alongside the supernatural. This could be treating one another as equals, such as the relationship between humans and nonhuman-humanoids, treating the supernatural as wild animals, or even considering the magical as gods on Earth. This cohabitation lasted until a movement arose to explain the inexplicable The Scientific Revolution and the Raising of the Veil As the understanding of the natural world increased starting in the 1500 and 1600's, there was less of an explanation for the existence of the supernatural. These things became attributed to disease and a lack of education. With this the knowledge of the supernatural became restricted to small towns with traditional beliefs, and then all but disappeared until an event that overturned the beliefs that the Veil was built on. The Y2K Incident After at least 400 years of the supernatural falling out of public awareness, and even further being completely hidden by the Veil put up by common belief, everything came crashing down in 2000. The disbelief in science and technology brought on by Y2K was just enough to break the thin Veil brought up between the scientific and magical. People looked around on New Year's day and saw things they never would have believed they would see just a few hours before. The Aftermath Surprisingly quickly, the world adapted to rediscovering the supernatural. Within the first decade, governments scrambled to identify everyone with their species and regulate their lives to prevent chaos. Vampires were provided rations, and many businesses began adopting "nightwalker hours" to accommodate their, and others who prefer the dark's needs. Werewolves started being provided days off around the full moon. Even Fae contracts took on a more legalized nature, even if that didn't necessarily make them more understandable. The internet and social media has made it near impossible for the Veil to be reerected, so society will likely remain supernaturally diverse unless all technology goes down in a mass event, similar to what was expected during the Y2K Incident. It is unlikely, but nothing is impossible.
just rewatched The Martian (2015) and that shit was as good as I remember it and since I need to tie everything into my hyperfixations I think Mark Watney and Ryley Robinson have the same/similar personality and Ryley definitely thinks "hey its kinda like that movie" at least once
3/23/25 Update: 1 1/2 pages into the book and yeah. Yeah they totally have the same personality. Unintentionally wrote Ryley like Mark Watney in my fic. It's great.
reblogging this one because it easily links to all the others
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 <- The End
Hi! I'm Beebo and I'm a little goob who didn't make an account for the longest time because I do everything in my power to avoid making accounts for shit unless I absolutely have to. My hyperfixations/likes: -Blue Exorcist -The Case Study of Vanitas -Baldur's Gate III -Percy Jackson -Genshin Impact -vampires and faeries (in general) (i just like weird folklore) -Gravity Falls (toxic old man yaoi) (they are divorced and hate each other) -recently I've gotten into Seraph of the End and i HATE IT (i love it. it feeds my inner 12 y/o) -The Owl House -English vocaloid (GHOST, R.I.P. Vane, whatever else I find thats good) -Funky music (Will Wood, Lemon Demon, tallyhall) -Sexy villain music (Shayfer James but SPECIFICALLY Counterfeit Arcade bc im too scared to listen to his other stuff. Also Necromancin Dancin by Bear Ghost but I havent listened to any of their other shit so do they really count?) -Subnautica My little brain goobers (oc's) (please talk to me about them I'm constantly foaming at the mouth about them and I love to talk to people about my brain worms): -Grim & Iris (also known as my worldbuilding project): Human girl meets the grim twink reaper and ends up in another dimension that's kind of the afterlife and also kind of like a weird version of Olympus but not really -Viktor and Cecil: Just some oc's i made once that have consumed me entirely. Viktor is an anxious emotionally wet vampire and Cecil is a silly goofy monsterfucker who gets reincarnated every time they die but they resurrect at the same age and everyone around them just acts like they were always there (think Jason Grace memory situation at the start of HOO) -Dream OC's: A group of fuckers I had a dream about within the last week or so. Only 4 characters (Sebastian the witch, Damien the tiefling, Carmen the vampire, and Lana the human). No clue what im gonna do with them but hey! they exist! i'll yap about them!
did anyone else catch this while the stream was breaking
so i bought myself Tavern Talk for my birthday and I just got to (no clue what day) when Fable say's they'll always come back to the inn and i just had the mental image of a bartender at one of these taverns who befriends a party of adventurers and then after years and years they suddenly disappear and are found dead and then they realize why all the other bartenders seem so distant from everyone so thats FUN
