#Rustflare

[im-s0rry]

i just imagined Roti sitting at a table with Inkwel, chewing on a bagel that she's stuck under her mask.

That's adorable! So adorable that I drew it!

I also took the chance to make some more Roti art with guest appearances from Rustflare, Hero (@goo-dripley-art ), and Shikari (@mercair )!

Hope you enjoyed me drawin' Roti for a bit!

Hey Merc! I know you've heard by now that I have a new Secret Boss. So now I'll ask,

How would your sillies react to Rustflare?

(I'm so proud of me being able to sprite him XDD)

Aight, let's get to it! (Nice sprite btw!)

Woostern doesn't really get along with people like him, she's too much of a happy go lucky gal to them. She doesn't really have a problem with that, but if she ever sees him pulling out a gun he's gonna have a lot of things to explain to the sheriff.

Bonslick! Oof, this guy's existence strikes him right in his ego.

Left-E! This guy seems too mature for Ice-E's. But as long as there isn't any trouble he's allowed to stay though!

Sonatta! She's too mentally old for this young edgy videogame characters, she can barely start a conversation with someone like Shikari.

Quiddo! I think they would quickly realize that he just doesn't wanna play and go somewhere else before getting kicked in the face. As for Quiller... The loss of empathy is something it has seen multiple times, often leading to the worst outcome posible. He is cursed to a bad ending, but then again. Which one of them ever really gets a happy ending?

Shika... OH GOD SHE'S COMIN- *Explosion*

* I. HXTE. THIS GXY.

* THE ONLX REASXN I HAVXN'T KICKED HIS AXX YET IS BECAUSE I CXN'T GET OUT OF THIS FUXXXNG PRISON. I HXTE IT HERE.

Pocket Sand - Episode 2: THE TURKEY-ADVENTURE.

*Shikari, Hero, and Roti are all in a group somewhere in the Pocket.

Hero: <. . . So I then I started throwing out all of the slurs I could think of at this guy until they disconnected.

Then I fell off of a cliff and died.

Real fun stuff.

Shikari: . . .Why dXd you fXXl the need tX sXy thXs???

Roti: I'm so, very confused. . .

*Rustflare then appears out of nowhere

Rustflare: *Dramatic entrance* GUYS. I HAVE AN IDEA.

Shikari: Oh. . .YXU. . .

Hero: <Oh jeEEz not this dude. . .

Rustflare: LISTEN. I REALIZED A FLAWLESS WAY WE COULD FIX ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS IN LIFE!

*Roti started cowering in the corner*

Shikari, grabbing for her blade: TXll us whXle you stXll have vXcal Cords, FRXXK.

Rustflare: *Turns around dramatically* WE'RE GOING BACK IN TIME TO THE FIRST THANKSGIVING

TO GET TURKEYS OFF THE MENU!

Shikari: . . .What the f-

Rustflare: AND THEN WE'RE GONNA KILL SIGMABIRD5001!!!

Shikari: . . .

Hero: <HOLY SHIIII-

Roti: W-what's, going on???-

Shikari: FXNALLY! AN ACTUXLLY GXXD IDXA OUT XF YOUR STXPID MXUTH!

Rustflare: *Smugly turns around* I KNOW. GENIUS, ISN'T IT?

Roti: Ummm. . .I, Don't know about that guys. . .

Hero: <BRO. I'VEe BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO SAY THAT!!!

Rustflare: HEAR ME OUT: BERDLY SUCKS-

Hero and Shikari: We're in.

Roti: W-what??? Y-you're just, gonna kill Berdly like that???

Rustflare: WHY OF COURSE.

Shikari: I cXn finXlly stXb that BXTCH. . .

Hero: <And I can finally get a singular kill.

*An awkward silence falls among the group*

Rustflare: DON'T WORRY. THIS PLAN IS COMPLETELY FOOLPROOF

AND ALL WE NEED TO DO IS BREAK SPACE TIME.

Hero: <. . .Welp. Thanks for nothing you little cu-

Shikari: I knXw someXne who cXn help wXth thXt.

Roti: I-I can't believe you all are,

so Adamant on k-killing Berdly like that. . .

Shikari: Why wXuldn't we bX by nXw?

Roti: . . .I-I stand, corrected. . .

*Timeskip to five minutes later*

Rustflare: *turns arm into a sniper and loads it* ALL SYSTEMS ONLINE.

Shikari: I HXTE THXT I HXD TO GXT STXCK WXTH YOU,

EVXN IF WX ARE KXLLING BXRDLY.

Rustflare: I'VE GOT EYES ON THE TARGET:

HE'S NOT LASTING TILL SUNRISE. THAT'S FOR SURE.

Shikari: CXn yXu just CXN IT?

Rustflare: NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Roti: Ummmmm, guys. . .

Shikari: WhXt is it, RXti?

Roti: I'm still not, s-sure about the whole,

killing Berdly thing. . .

Shikari: There yXu go agXin with thX SympXthy. . .

How PXthetic. . .

Roti: . . .Well, I've been,

Thinking. . .

M-maybe killing Berdly in the past,

Isn't the, b-best idea for us?

Shikari: . . .WhXt's that sXpposed to mean?

Roti: Like, If we killed him in the p-present, we would still be killing him. . .

But in the past, he won't b-be able to make us. . .

He won't be able to write c-cringy fanfiction or m-make bad games. . .

Cause he'll be dead. . .

And then we'll be dead. . .

And then everyone's dead. . .

Rustflare: . . .I SEE YOU'RE POINT.

*lowers sniper arm*

WITH EXACTLY FIVE SECONDS OF THOUGHT, THIS PLAN WAS:

STUPID AS #!%$

Shikari: . . .

*Shikari takes a breath to steady herself before knealing down to get on Roti's level*

MXybe yXu're rXght, kXd. BXTCH, cXll off the attXck.

Rustflare: ALRIGHT, I-

*Sudden realization*

WAIT.

WAIT WAIT WAIT.

OH NO.

Shikari: . . .WXIT.

*Hero comes flying down, propelled towards Berdly by the power of a rocket laucher she had for some reason.*

Hero: <I AM A GODDESS OF DEeeaaAAATH!!!1!

Everyone else: OH GOD NO!!!

hey

what would your secret boss OCs think of Roti, my secret boss, if you don't mind me asking

Here on Tumblr: Behold! My attempt at creating a Deltarune secret boss, with art by @creepa-b0t-inc (thanks for that) This is Roti, whose name...

Why hello Follower! It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance and for Roti to be my first "What Would your Secret Bosses Think Of My Secret Boss"! I absolutely adore Roti and it's an honor for them to meet my characters! Speaking of. . .

Sketchit! I think Roti would be freaked out by her. She's got a couple screws loose and is desperately trying to find them but I can see a situation where they meet and Sketchit starts to try to find the "hidden lore" of the really really bad creepypasta Roti was in the light world.

Fredde-E! I cannot describe in words how amazing these two little gremlins would be as friends. They'd be so funny together.

Tumbal! Oho! Another target for Tumbal to trick and eventually kill for sport! I think Roti might even find him scary. Because he is.

Snake-Eyes! Eyes would be very friendly to Roti and I can see them forming a slight friendship. Not really that big of a friendship, just two people who mutually respect each other really. On the other hand, Snake would see Roti as another darker wishing for glory that will never come. A hopeless cause that will unleash a great burden on the world. A warning of disaster.

Hattyr! Hattyr ain't exactly the nicest person around and would probably act how he usually does, cold and only really using Roti to try and get himself back to his full power.

Inkwel! A new friend! Though Inkwel may be a bit beaten and maybe a but off-putting, he'd still try to make friends with Roti. After all, I'm like 90% sure that Roti is a child, and Inkwel was a kid's TV show host. He'd be kind and try to not scare them, maybe even bake some bagels or something? Who knows.

Rustflare! A fellow Darkner from The Scraps I see. . .wait, you don't know The Scraps is? Anywho, Rustflare would probably scare Roti away. Rustflare be like that. Maybe he'd even think that they're an enemy and try to attack them, which would not end well at all.

Funn! I think she'd scare them off. She'd probably invite them for tea and at the first instance of screaming Roti would turn tail and book it.

Sadedown! Same old trickster. Not much to say.

A New Challenger Approaches (Rustflare Character Intro and Stuff)

*You, Susie, and Ralsei head into a dark cave. You have a lantern with you hold to see. You see a bunch of old drawings and machinery in the cave before entering what loves to be part of a dilapidated cityscape. You proceed through the city before-

"*broads broadingly* It seems that more filthy Radnixs are back to haunt me. *jumps down in a cool way*"

"Kris! Look out!"

*The figure stands before you, doing a cool action landing before getting up.

"*analyzes the enemy* you three are not welcome here."

"Huh? Who are you supposed to be???"

"My name is Rustflare the Lizliz. My interests include: . . . . . . And my dislikes include: SigmaBird5001, Books, *points robot arm at the three* and you..."

"...What the heck??? Are you joking??? Are you trying intimidate us??? That was horrible...but if you're looking for a thrashing -"

*Susie brandishes her axe

"-Then I'd be happy to rip you to shreads..."

"You three will never best me, as I am the ultimate life form, the highest point in evolution, the-"

"SHUT UP ALREADY!!!"

"Fine, BETA NOOB. But you shall soon meet you're end by my cold, unfeeling hand."

*Rustflare attacks!

------------------------------------------------------

Alrighty, thanks to you voting on this, here's Rustflare!

Rustflare was a folder with a bad flash game Berdly tried to make. It had a bunch of traced assets, stolen code, and really cringy writing. Berdly never finished it and eventually put it in the Garbage, which lead to "The Good Doctor" to meet Rustflare and give him his robot arm...and make him slowly lose his sanity and empathy for others. Now he roams the unfinished city he called home, waiting for his next foe...if it wasn't obvious by that, he's the Secret Boss for Berdly's House. He's the definition of a bad, edgy Sonic oc. His speech quirk is him narrating himself. If you're wondering about his Boss Battle...I'll save the details for another day...but I do have a few doodles of him.

And for the first time ever for one of my Secret bosses, I sprited him! I'm really proud of this!!!

So that's Rustflare! I really hope you like him and enjoyed reading this!

WALL-BREAKER - GRIMM'S 200 POST EXTRAVAGANZA!

Hallow one and all! It seems like only yesterday I hit one hundred posts and made some art for the occasion of my golden girl, Sketchit. But now, a new milestone has been hit. I'd like to take this occasion to share with all of you the Tumbal Retake, news for the blog, special thanks, and of course. . .

WALL-BREAKER

Wall of Text Below:

Firstly, I'd like to take the time to detail Tumbal's backstory has I have not delved into it all that much on the Blog. The story starts with a pre-Secret Boss Tumbal as an optimistic actor ready to put their best foot, or root in this case, forward. He eventually got a role as an Outlaw in a western, which was the first project that good ol' Mr. Rook Action was directing. All went well until the day of shooting, where a freak accident occurred. Tumbal was shot with what the crew thought was a prop gun. As the shot rang out through the set, the cast and crew ran out, ignoring the body of Tumbal in the process. That is where he found himself, a bullet through his heart on his deathbed with no one to remember his legacy. . .Until a figure appeared to Tumbal. He told him that his time was not over just yet, as well as a new way of seeing the world, as a performance put on to entertain the higher beings. . .After that, Tumbal was left alone in that set for years, rotting into what he is today. He now uses any props he can scavenge as puppets to lure in Darkners to make friends with them, before brutally tearing them apart. This is the state The Fun Gang finds Tumbal in on their journey through Homewood. . .

Secondly, as I did with Sketchit, I'd like to explain how WALL-BREAKER would sound as a song. Of course, the song would use motifs from Battle Against a True Hero and Your Best Nightmare as well as using the Freedom Motif. The song would have a very frantic feel to it, shown through the pacing and use of the instruments. Throughout the song, some sort of banjo or guitar would be played over the track, being used for the beginning and even the Freedom Motif. The song would also reference the lietmotifs of Tenna and Rook's battle themes, in reference to his backstory. Near the end, the song would basically go insane and lose all rhyme or reason and eventually end with the sound of the banjo used in the song being smashed to pieces as an ominous voice laughs in the distance.

Next, I would like to discuss a few posts that will be made in the near future and changes to a few of my Secret Bosses. Firstly, Pocket Sand will be continuing containing the one and only Rouxls Kaard as well as Sketchit! This will be out around next week, or whenever I have time to write it. Secondly, I will be moving a few of my bosses to a group I like to call the Misfits. These bosses are ones that are basically the only part of their AUs, which will include people such as Funn N. Gaems, Fredde-E, Rustflare, Inkwel, and the other Chapter Three Secret Boss takes I made that one time. This will not mean that they will disappear, only that they have a new group name and could potentially be moved out of The Misfits if I find their stories interesting. . . Thirdly, as always, The Ask Box is wide open for anyone to throw questions, suggestions, or anything else at my characters and myself. You can literally ask any of my Deltarune based characters. The sky's the limit.

Finally, I want to give a huge round of applause to all of the people who have helped me along my journey as an artist and as a member of the Secret Boss Fandom. @mercair , you bring so many wonderful ideas and designs to the table and your characters are always a delight to draw and design for. Rest assured, you're not getting rid of my System or our nonsense at your expense any time soon. @creepa-b0t-inc , you have been an amazing part of this community, working on so many amazing projects yet still finding time to help smaller creators, such as myself. I am so glad that I know someone such as yourself and it's been amazing knowing you. @glitch-the-artist , you are an amazing traditional artist that I have adored for so long. Your work and dedication to your craft has inspired my own work and my own aspirations to get better at art. @almightyaxolotlz , I want to give you the most sincere "thank you" I could possibly muster up for being the voice of Sketchit. Thank you so much for caring about this character as much as you do and not letting Chapter X fall to the wayside. @mrchaosman , you have so much potential and so many great ideas. You're honestly an unsung hero of the community and you deserve a lot more respect for the dedication you bring to the Secret Boss Community. @petra-creat0r , you're one of the most talented artists I know and never fail to bring a sincere smile to my face. Your love for your characters and this community is inspiring and I can't wait to see what you do next. Any to everyone I did not mention, I just want to say, thank you. Thank you for inspiring me to continue being a member of this community and for allowing me to get where I am now. Thank you so much, all of you. Now, I should probably get to replying to some posts right about now. . .Goodfright to you all!

-Best Regards, Jackal.

Thanks for everything.
