GRANDMA HAS ARRIVED

Well she's more of a mom than anything but still

Meet Bronda Brittleshoot! As said, she is the mother figure to Brandy Brittleshoot and in her late 50's/60's! She stayed behind while her son went to Snaktooth island on the expedition, and after he's come back fully snakified no less she does everything in her power to help her son and the rest of his friends from the expedition team! She's one of the few people who fully knows about everything that went on at Snaktooth without actually being there, and she's there if anyone needs to talk about what happened with a fresh face.

She accepts the whole Snaktooth situation very quickly because (there's obviously proof in Brandy coming home snakified but also) she pretty much has her head buried as deep in stories as Brandy! While Brandy himself his an author of many types, Bronda is a professional editor and where her son got inspiration to create stories. She isn't the best at creating stuff on her own, but she loves to read other people's stuff and help them improve! In both personality and profession she's always offering a helping hand to others!

She greatly appreciates the company as well for anyone needing to hide. Much like her child, Bronda is also a bit of a social recluse, not having many relationships outside of her tight bond with Brandy. She's been a single mother for 20+ years, and although she has accepted her husband's death she finds it hard to pursue new relationships in her slightly older age. Even still, she has just as strong empathy as her son, and anybody who needs a place to talk or rest is welcome in her home.

Think of her like the Moominmama of the Bugsnax fandom! You're welcome anytime and she's always willing to lend a helping paw! And if you just want to talk or need a hug, she's always happy to provide.

Although Bronda is able to comfort the expedition team and listen to their troubles, it does naturally take a while for them to fully trust her. Though surprisingly, in Beffica’s case, it can be pretty quick.

Beffica: No offense ma’am, I know you probably mean the best or whatevs, but you barely know anything about me. We literally just met, and I’m not going to reveal my secrets to you.

Bronda: Oh I know we did Beffica dear, but well, what if I *did* want to get to know you?

Beffica: ....excuse me?

Bronda: I’m not expecting you to reveal your *wiggling fingers* deeeeep dark secrets, you don’t need to tell me anything if you want. I’m only here if you want to talk, and from what I’ve heard that’s one of your favorite things to do! So is there anything on your mind?

Beffica: ......

Two hours later

Beffica, crying: “-and, and she didn’t even text back!!!”

Bronda, hugging her: “Shhh, it’s okay, let it out”

Lying, see-no-evil, milky way, present!

🤥 LYING - are they good liars? do they have tells to show they're lying?

Brandy: Isn't too good, usually when they're lying about something small/minor they have a habit of smiling/laughing a bit giving them away. Skatey: Decently good, though uses half-truths and other stuff more than straight up lies. If she had a tell, probably something like her increasing her grip on her bat. Bronda: Somewhat similar to Brandy, but has learned to contain it a bit more.

🙈 SEE-NO-EVIL - whats a side of your oc that they don't want to show other people?

Brandy: This dude overworks himself when it comes to creative stuff, so they tend to lock themselves away while working both so he doesn't get bothered and so that he doesn't worry people. Skatey: When she gets really mad Skatey can sometimes go full demon mode, snarling and getting violent in some circumstances. Leaned into it during her time in the city, but now that she's around friends she tries to keep it more tame to not scare them away. Bronda: She's the kind of person who encourages everyone else to go out and have fun, but she severely bottles up her own loneliness. She doesn't want other people to worry about her.

🌌 MILKY WAY - what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?

Brandy: More or less just wanted a grumpsona! I wanted something that kinda represented myself so I knew they would be a writer, then while coming up with his name I based it off my own somewhat and "scribble." Also, I kinda wanted someone that disliked/hated Wiggle Skatey: I don't remember the exact thought process, but I remember saying "hey what if Gramble had a punk rock friend that's like the complete opposite of him?" And then Skatey was born. Bronda: Fandoms need more mom OCs.

🎁 PRESENT - what types of presents would they be most happy to receive? are they good at gift giving?

Brandy: Usually tries to get them merchandise or something else of a show/band/movie/whatever that they like. If you're really close with him he'll sometimes write you a mini-story! The perfect gift for him would probably be plushies, dude has a collection. Skatey: Isn't usually the best since most of her experience comes from a limited budget. She'd probably make people something by hand (very poorly) or just take them somewhere to hang out solo. She'd like any gift because she hasn't gotten much, but the perfect gift? Maybe some jacket patches, gloves or other accessories. Bronda: She can and will get anything you make a passing mention of wanting, even if it isn't a holiday, watch out. Perfect gift for her would probably be something homemade or just a night out shopping with dinner.

Thanks for the questions Emei!!
