Was Two's change in personality between TPOT 1 and 2 partially because they were humbled by being beaten up by the contestants, Gaty's positive influence on them, or both?

Was Donut influenced at all by having Four inside of him?

Is there an Australia equivalent in Goikey (which would explain Tree and Rubber Spatula's accents) like how Farnorth is sort of the pseudo-Russia

1. Both.

2. Yes, but I won’t go into detail about that now because it becomes VERY plot relevant in the future.

3. Interestingly enough, no. Rubber Spatula and Tree’s accents are one of numerous accents that developed out of multiple accents from a nation called Southreach, which was kind of a pseudo-UK and, like Yoyleland, didn’t survive the Great Yoyle War.

I know I already asked a question, but the answer you put had a tag to use the ask button next time. So I have one more for now.

Do Ruby and Ice Cube (and possibly Puffball, but she was more understandable and at least Pin could still move somewhat) have any regrets on what they did to Pin back in BFDIA (face removal, shrinking her, copyright infringement)? And in Ruby’s case what she had done to Firey (regarding your answer to my previous question)? Firey for his part seems to trust her with Ashes, so they could be on better terms.

Ruby is…a bit of an airhead and it’s entirely possible she completely forgot about shrinking Pin and stealing her song. She mainly remembers BFDIA as “that season where my sisters tried to steal my spot on the show”.

Ice Cube sometimes stays up late at night thinking about how she removed Pin’s face. She definitely regrets it.

BFDIA is a season that most of the contestants, not just Pin, don’t look back on very fondly as you’ll see in later stories. To quote a line that will appear in a future installment, “I think BFDIA nearly made monsters out of all of us.”

5 questions from @psychicbirdtaco

1. Bubble’s object-type had a peculiar advantage that made up for their fragility: whenever a new child of her object-type was delivered by the stork, that child was accompanied by a bubble wand that could be used to revive them if they were accidentally popped. Bubble gave her revival wand to Pencil, and it was passed around between the members of Freesmart.

2. Put simply, he did. This just happened off-screen since Battle For Fries’s Sanity focuses on Fries. Ruby ended up threatening Firey with a water gun in order to get him into the cage.

3. Evil Leafy was drawn to Leafy because of her negativity and anger at the end of BFDI. She preys on outcasts and loners as they tend to have the most emotional baggage she can use to manipulate them into further negativity. Her true form is a shapeless blob of red fog. As for Pan Flute, he was only able to temporarily restrain her because the concert hall he was in was a pre-Great Yoyle War structure that had been sanctified against evil spirits due to its proximity to the Evil Forest. This rendered her weaker than normal while inside it, until Leafy was recovered and EL was able to leech off of her again.

4. She was going to check her for signs of Evil Leafy returning, out of precaution.

5. Four was still stunned, yes, and there wasn’t much he could do. Attacking Two would cause…family issues.

Okay so…to tide everyone over until we have the final chapter of Battle for Fries’s Sanity completed, I figured I’d do something fun for everyone here.

You can ask me questions about the Battle for Rotting My Brain Out of My Skull universe from now until June 30th. This includes both in-universe stuff and any questions you might have about the development of the series as a whole and where I’ve gotten my ideas from!

[deadsquidstudios]

Bits of Battle for Brainrot lore that will be elaborated upon properly in future chapters and installments:

- Grassy was a literal baby when he was found in the TLC by Basketball. Nobody knows how he got in.

- Pencil’s parents are, by post-Great Yoyle War standards, very wealthy. They’re the ones who purchased the Super Van for her and spoiled her quite a bit in her youth while simultaneously neglecting her emotional needs.

- Farnorth has its own alphabet, which is a combo of Cyrillic text and Norse runes, similar to how Farnorthern language is a hodgepodge of mangled Russian, Norwegian, Swedish, and a teensy bit of Finnish.

- Three is absolutely, thoroughly terrified of One, to the point where they don’t feel safe anywhere outside the EXIT because that’s the only place One currently doesn’t have enough power to enter and snatch people from.

- Blocky is actually Grassy’s favorite babysitter. He lets Grassy help him prank people.

- Pranking people and filming said pranks is Blocky’s job now, as he copyrighted the “Blocky’s Funny Doings International” name and turned it into a pranking channel on YouTube. His pranks have matured significantly since his days of murdering his fellow contestants as pranks and are significantly more elaborate but usually result in no physical harm. This is because the last time one of these pranks harmed someone, he ended up being hit with a lawsuit.

- Believe it or not, there is Farnorthern cuisine that doesn’t consist of raw meat from other objects or Raquetball’s approximation of a protein shake made from animal blood. The majority of this cuisine dates back to before the end of the Great Yoyle War, and is based on actual foods from Eastern Europe (mainly those I’ve heard about from the YT channel Life of Boris…) and Scandinavia.

Some more fun facts about the Battle for Brainrot universe (specifically worldbuilding stuff and nothing that’s plot-important, along with minor background incidents)

- Golf balls, as an object-type, naturally smell faintly of wet soil. All the time. This is natural for them and this smell not being present would be indicative of something being wrong.

- Fish-monsters are not fish at all, but actually are a species of aquatic dragon. Unlike their land-dwelling kin, who lay eggs, fish-monsters give birth to live young as by the time they reach adulthood they are incapable of surviving on land. They actually fill similar ecological niches to the ones whales do in our universe, and consist of multiple different species adapted for a variety of diets. Prior to the Great Yoyle War, they were more commonly known as Leviathans.

- The Yoylese were masters of high-speed rail transit. Their railroad technology is even still fully functional to this very day, at least in the more southerly regions of where the country was formerly located—even after being mostly abandoned for 6 centuries!

- pin and coiny have been married since idfb and still haven’t told most of the people they know. or gone on a honeymoon. or told coiny’s parents. Pin’s parents know but they only found out about 4 years after the fact.

- pillow has been a serial killer for the past 20 years. Yes. 20. She already had a kill count by the time she was a failed debuter in BFDIA.

- Black Hole was, prior to his explosive death and traumatic un-death, a type of star called a Yellow Supergiant. He had a short lifespan and the one habitable planet orbiting him only managed to sustain microbial life forms by the time BH went supernova. Black Hole is haunted by the fact that his own short lifespan as a Yellow Supergiant (a measly 11 million years) meant this planet’s lifeforms never had a chance to evolve further.

Fun facts about the Battle for Rotting My Brain Out of My Skull universe/little details I haven’t brought up because they aren’t plot relevant

- Tennis Ball is the eldest out of three surviving brothers, but he had several siblings who didn’t survive their first months of life prior to his own hatching.

- Gaty’s parents are named Barbed Wire (Mom) and Wall (Dad). You’re not going to like them at all when they eventually show up. Trust me. You won’t.

- Pin and Coiny eloped during pre-split BFB and haven’t actually bothered to tell anyone yet. Even though it’s been a few years.

- Faces (like Yellow Face and Purple Face) are the Goikian equivalent to Tolkien-style dwarves except if they were obsessed with commerce, trade, and industrialization instead of digging and mining. They draw power (which just gives them the ability to move around effectively) from industry and trade rather than from nature like puffballs do.

- Davidians used to look…less stick-figure-y. Then the Great Yoyle War happened and they experienced radiation poisoning and a population bottleneck.

- golf balls are insectivores for the first seven months of their lives. This will be relevant in a future installment.

Forgot to mention I made a Solarballs animation recently

[deadsquidstudios]

I had a dream recently where I was trying to find the cure to some kind of zombie apocalypse meets Pibby thing alongside Carl from ATHF, Grunkle Stan, and Saturn from Solarballs…who was not humanized and was just a straight up talking planet.

We had to hide from a zombified Jupiter in a fucking Walmart and Carl got eaten. I also stole a motorcycle at one point, the planets have HOUSES apparently which are…Escher-style gargantuan mindfucks and I had to raid an exoplanet’s house for supplies and spent about five minutes trying to figure out how to get through their weirdass living room since gravity was completely fucked.

At the end Stan and I got the cure to Ford. Idk what happened to Saturn but I think he may have died at some point. And then I woke up.
