Okay okay, this sounds far fetched, but hear me out:

Tell me these two are not related! I mean they should, at least, be half cousins or something!

Same with these guys, does anyone else see it??

....

....I really need to stop. That definetly shouldnt have been mentioned....by the way, who things Mags the mechanic (LBP1) and Sirius (LBP Karting) should be friends?

[stellarbat]

Here's an oc!

This is Grey Eye! He's acts uninterested, but he cares! He's also from Carnivalia because people in LBP should acknowledge The Ps Vita game.

LBP will always hold a special place in my heart, you have no idea how much I love this game every time I remember it ;;-;;

(Also I'll leave here a couple of doodles I did some time ago when I was replaying the psp LBP game qwq)

Do you have a favorite video game?

I would have to say my favorite game is LittleBIGPlanet PSVita Edition. I made a lot of friends on that one, and LittleBIGPlanet is my favorite game series.

How children and aging are depicted in LittleBigPlanet + Sackboy's canonical age

I've been wanting to write this post for a while now! This topic i find rather interesting as i'm in that turning point in life of being a newborn adult lol

I'm going to apologize beforehand though for my lack of knowledge about LBP PS Vita in case it had some relevancy to this post. It is the only full release i haven't played :( I'd also like the apologize for the strange pacing in this post- there's a lot to go through and otherwise I'd never get it done.

Do sackpeople age?

Yeah!

Perhaps the earliest* and obvious example are the child portrait stickers of the Creator Curators in LBP2. Most of them (aside from Eve) are used in the first proper level Rookie Test, in pictures of Larry giving flowers to Victoria and Avalon, Clive and Higginbotham graduating. In LBP3, there's a sticker of Newton as a baby in Nana Pud's hands. Sackboy: A Big Adventure has a prequel comic called "The Gathering Storm" starring Scarlet which depicts her as a child.

What do sackfolk look like growing up?

Considering baby Newton fit into Nana Pud's already small hands, babies must be really tiny.

SABA has the first example of a child in the games physically with the Death Stranding costume. Baby...

Wait, a baby sackperson is just a tiny sackperson?

*So this means that the Mini Sackboy item from LBP1 is a baby... (Yeah, it's not a plush. It's alive. It blinks.)

It's a fact that sackpeople use their children as fashion accessories. How delightful yet incredibly strange!

Child Scarlet is a little shorter than the shoulders of a standard sackperson. (She's the only example we have, so excuse the brevity... well there's Hildur, but I'm not sure if she counts as a sackling)

What about a teenager?

As previously established, there is a portrait of Avalon, Clive and Higginbotham graduating, though it's not specified whether they're graduating from high school or college, which would make them either roughly teenagers or young adults at that time. Clive is shorter than the other two in the past yet is about their height in-game, so it's more likely they were teenagers and Clive hit his growth spurt after graduation. A series of promotional videos released for LBP1 called "Life in LittleBigPlanet" state that a fully grown Sackperson is 8 centimeters tall.

Newton is said to have flunked out of the Popit Academy after one semester. Completing term 1 of Popit Puzzles will land you this neat graduation outfit.

It's also unspecified in-game whether the Popit Academy is a high school or a college, but considering its logo and what was described of Newton, it's definitely a college. (I am unsure of the system in England, but here in the US if you fail a semester of high school you just continue as usual and make up what you missed as additional work, instead of being kicked or dropped out.)

Newton's insecurities lie in his belief that he'll never live up to his father, and flunking out played into that. This is what led up to him wanting to use the Titans, to prove his potential to the world, and letting Bunkum's residents (including himself) make better use of its creativity. Of course there's no time range or limit to attend college, but most people tend to pursue it directly after high school, and coupled with Newton's bruised pride and desperation, let's assume for the sake of this post that Newton attended college straight away and is a young adult.

Most of the other sackling characters can easily be identified as adults or elders.

But what about .... YOU? Or, well, Sackboy... er...

The player vs. the character

It's a bit hard to define the separation of a character that's intended to be an expression of you versus yourself, because that separation is defined by yourself as well.

Let's say that the aspects of Sackboy that AREN'T decided/customized by the player are what is hard canon about him: This includes the official story levels, as you don't have a choice but to proceed, and less noticable things such as his personality and actions in the tutorial videos+ ads, and what's in his wardrobe (which is every single costume piece in the game. doesn't mean he wears it though. I wonder how cold he usually is).

Now, without you, who is Sackboy? He's a heroic sackling that has gone on many death-defying adventures across the globe and beyond. He's silent, gender non conforming and has a neverending amount of PlayStation cosplays. He goofs around with the narrator and knows how to use all game mechanics.

And, without your input, how old is he?

How old is Sackboy?

We've sorta already answered this question.

Sackboy is a physically fully grown sackling, as he is 8 centimeters tall. This would make him a teenager at the very youngest.

He has attended and graduated from Popit Academy, a college, which edges him into potential young adult or just general adult territory. (Teenagers can also attend college of course, but that's less common)

Having mentioned his wardrobe before, he has a lot of things that children typically wouldn't wear, including the aforementioned graduation outfit, facial hair, wedding outfits, fishnets, a speedo...among more

In SABA, he can wear piercings and a cute choker!

I'm not going to demonstrate this for obvious reasons, but there is even official art of him with genitalia. Go look at Media Molecule's Flickr if you really want to see it. Hell, knowing that and Mm's sense of humor, his name is rather inappropriate too. (I try to ignore this for the sake of my remaining childhood innocence.)

The Twitter is weird

There are a few tweets by the official LittleBigPlanet twitter that "state" Sackboy's age. These are actually referring to the franchise's age at the time they were posted. (Remember that LBP1 was released October 2008 and do some simple math)

(The GIF says "Happy 12th Birthday Sackboy)

Sackboy: A Big Adventure is weird

Sackboy is definitely NOT a child- why, after a decade of this being established, does he sound like one in SABA?

To help explain this decision, this game can be described as a "soft reboot". It doesn't retcon or change anything about the past, but it presents it in a new way for new and/or unfamiliar audiences. (aka marketability.)

Sackboy was completely silent before and now he's shouting "YEAH! WOOHOO!" every 3 seconds. His voice is very high pitched, youthful and would come off to most people as a child's voice.

I tried to look into his voice actor in the past, but the only other thing they are credited for is Tearaway. It's possible they were credited under a pseudonym, but either way we don't know how old they are or how they are typecast.

Why does Sackboy, a grown man with cock and balls, sound so much like a little boy?

THATS BECAUSE SACKBOY IS CANONICALLY TRANSGENDER HAPPY PRIDE MONTH🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

LBP weapon ideas

fuck it, i'm going to talk about potential weapons that could be used in LittleBigPlanet

if you want to ignore

Scissors: Like double swords/dancing swords, really cool

(credit to AiLama59 on DeviantArt)

Sewing Pins: Straight-forward, very pointy

(The Secret World of Arietty)

Nails: Could work decently as blunt weapons, or as swords if you are willing to put in the time or effort

(hollow knight)

(three nail sword, crossed heart forge)

Spikes attached to rods: Great for improvised jabby sticks

or alternatively if you happen to know the PS Vita Spikes

(art by me)

Fork: Because why not?

(done by me)

Giant Machine: A la Skulldozer

Giant Machine: A La Tinpot Towers

(though, less of a weapon, more of a defense mechanism/actual person)

Popit: If you're crazy enough to figure out how to do that

I don't have an image... sorry

.....

That's about everything I have. Reblog with your ideas if you want to.

I didn't list a seam ripper because that feels more akin to a torture device

It is

Little big planet is a good game

[martinsaenz96us]

Been replaying some "ModNation Racers" lately, and made something I'm very proud of. Tag-Chan aka genderbent main protagonist graffiti artist Tag. Man it brings me back memories of creating and sharing my Mods & downloading other's creations, racing online and having such a good time. This game (also LittleBigPlanet) was the reason I really wanted a PS3. Since then, This game along with both LittleBigPlanet 1&2 remain one of my most favorite games of all time. I'm just glad my spoiled little 14 yr old self got my Mom to buy me a PS3. Lol Before that I had the PSP version, but everything felt very limited and wasn't as good. And I did not like LittleBigPlanet on PSP because it kept crashing alot for no reason (not sure if I was the only one with this problem), and it was very limited that it made me wish I had a PS3. I love this game to pieces and it's such a shame there haven't been anything since "Road Trip" on PS VITA in 2012 (more like a watered down port). Even for it's 10th year anniversary no remake or sequel on PS4 or PS5, but instead absolutely nothing it's depressing. And when I heard that a sequel was planned but got reskined to "LBP Karting" (it's not as great), It filled me with rage and just makes me angry thinking about it. Common SONY bring back this underrated gem on your newest hardware, I guarantee it will blow up and sell like crazy if Miitopia taught us anything. And since "United Front Games" (the developer) is now defunct, why not handover the IP to another developer who's willing to bring it back to life (Sumo Digital would be perfect). One can only dream.

i actually know like next to nothing about lbp for the ps vita i really wanna play it...
