Local Bird Man Back From MCC Retirement

Me: *Removes my cat from my lap to do something else.*

My cat: Father is…evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.

y’all just— thinking about how excited Stanley must have been to host the twins— Alex says he smokes cigars but he doesn’t smoke once in the show— has a beer gut but he only drinks sodas in front of the kids— doesn’t swear when they’re around which must have taken INCREDIBLE effort— Stanley Pines, known crook, buying pancake mix at the supermarket and many bottles of syrup— learning to cook basic healthy meals and burning so many of them before he gets it right— buying new sheets, new mattresses— avoiding bunk beds because it reminds him of Ford— looking at the attic room he made wondering “is this enough will they like me”— trying to act aloof at the bus stop so he doesn’t betray the fact that he was there hours early— watching them goof around and thinking of New Jersey beaches— then the first night they’re there, he watches them debate running away and only stay because Mabel shook a magic 8 ball. That must have kept him awake all night.

"immortality sucks because all your friends die" all your friends die anyway. those we do not mourn are those who mourn us.

"immortality sucks because you forget who you are" we always forget who we are. do you remember who you were at four years of age? who you were at fourteen? "who i am" is a shadow cast on the wall.

"immortality sucks because" skill issue. skill issue. skill issue. give me your liver

Anyway so creaking!Techno design thoughts:

White hair bc I can (or perhaps if you still want to invoke pink, make it a super pale greyish/whitish pink? Almost desaturated pastel? OR white hair with pale pink highlights works too).

Branch antlers or horns just for fun AND a branch crown type thing - I'm thinking similar to a flower crown except made of branches/vines/leaves? But a more traditional crown shape works too. If the hair is braided maybe some leaves in the hair I think that'd be cute. Red or golden eyes.

Honestly I'd cover other parts of his design like his arms and legs with vines/roots and leaves too. Kind of like a tree grew around him and he tore himself loose of the roots but they still stick to him.

And then in term of his outfit I keep thinking about those capes made of autumn leaves? I think he'd rock one of those. The redish colours would invoke his traditional cape! Optionally could even make it red on top and then transition into white leaves at the bottom?

That's what I have for now but I'm still thinking about him a lot-
