#(a species that employs more cool/de-saturated colors)

If you were to choose what tallest miyuki and sporks colors and personality’s would be, what would they be and why?

Ahh i actually love questions like this, cuz not only do i get to talk about this stuff, you’ll also learn how utterly pretentious I am 😔💕 And admittedly boring.

MIYUKI FIRST! If I’m being 100% honest… IDK if I’d go with blue for Miyuki- this coming from someone who does like blue Miyuki from fanon. But, at the same time it feels kind of… out of place? In general, no matter the eye color, Irkens tend to fall under a very analogous color scheme ranging from hot pinks, reds and purples, blah blah color wheel (there are some exceptions, i.e Skrang the Engineer). And the blue- while cool (no pun intended) seems out of place for a figurehead meant to represent everybody (not touching on hc’s where this may be explained away in self-contained worldbuilding). I don’t want to break that visual harmony… idk.

So, I just went with a more basic dark purple (stemming from a lot of uniforms for specialized jobs). It’s not groundbreaking or anything, but given her purpose, I don’t think it needs to be. It’s pretty regal by itself.

NOW SPORK? I never liked the green Spork fanon. It all just kinda blends into each other and doesn’t look good to me. Backpedaling real quick, a part of me feels blue/green for the previous Tallest were chosen solely on the basis that red/purple are also just distinct solid colors, so the conclusion was just “oh every tallest must be their own color” or something. But Red/Purple also don’t break the general color scheme for Irk? …Ehh… we already got blue/green and it’s those two dumb tall aliens from Abducted, and they’re meant to be parallels 😩

Anyway, I don’t think Spork would be all that special. He’s only around for a second then instantly killed. So I just went with the more generic pinks/red-violets you’d see on most disposable-to-the-plot Irkens and NPCs.

As for stuff I included on both, I think them having distinct patterns is cool. Having alternating hues isn’t unheard of already in a lot of Irken uniforms (and certainly specialized jobs), so that’s fun. It’d give them some sense of individuality since I took away “you get one color and u get a different one that’s super unique and different yet clashes 😩”

As for their personalities? I dunno. I’m hoping the art by itself conveys some kind of vibe for each of them? But if I had to word something, I feel like they’d probably both lounge around, eat food, and act like assholes cuz they’re the Tallest. Spork isn’t around long enough for me to make up any characterization, and tbh, i don’t think he needs any. His purpose is to die. Miyuki isn’t around much either given she only has two lines to work from and also instantly dies, but she has some history and seems mostly competent- maybe comparative to Red on his better days. And probably also deceptive given the materials for universal conquest was commissioned by her from the people she likely intended to conquer (Spork, Red and Purple just following up what she was getting started). But, again- this is based solely on two lines and me being extremely generalized, so if they sound one-dimensional rn im sorry 😔

MaybE GET BACK TO ME ON THAT LOL This post is running long rip 😩😩😭
