I really liked these unique scenes that were made for the Pikmin Garden website entry on caves. Technically, neither of these use unique assets, but it's kinda cute that they went through the trouble of making these scenes just for character building.

It almost gives me hope for DLC~

Max kindly offered to model my clothes, waow!!

[iersei]

I don't know who any of these people are but could I get a sketch of just a little guy please, any guy will suffice so long as it is a little guy

[VOTE FOR GLENN CLOSE HERE AND GET A SKETCH REQUEST]

hey thank you so much for voting !!! every vote counts !!!

pikmin were the first thing that came to mind when i thought about generic little guys, so i hope this is to your liking! i hope you have a wonderful day!

"Go away. Quit staring. You guys are starting to annoy me.

...At least you're kinda cute."

Day 12 of Piktober was Crossover. I am not participating too heavily in the event (as I do not have the brain for it this year), but I did wanna get in a couple days, one of which is today's prompt.

This is Tsubakura Enraku from Len'en Project, a Touhou inspired work where just about everyone's gender is left up to player interpretation. I have a whole Len'en/Pikmin AU in my head, but for now this piece will work as a clue of what to expect were I to ever go any further with it.

Tsubakura themself though is...a poor choice for a Pikmin protagonist lol. They're too lazy. They are funny at least.

does anyone else ever think abt ai no uta. the song released in tandem with pikmin 1, and included as an easter egg in pikmin 2, sung from the pikmins pov about how they are aware of and embrace their own mortality, how disposable each pikmin is, how they'll follow their captain to the death even if the captain doesn't care for them. "today again we'll carry, multiply, fight and be eaten" can anyone hear me. it's so dark in here

[ignatiusteto]

do you understand my vision

[im-still-a-robot]

Never give into the sunk cost fallacy. The only fallacy is the belief that it won't happen. Never give up 🌈

[illdothehotvoice]

I want to get into Pikmin specifically for Louie btw. Also Olimar. Louie.

Okay.

(also Louie's Japanese name is Rui and Luigi's name is typically spelled as Ruigi in Japanese text to my understanding (because of a lack of an L equivalent in Japanese alphabets))

[piplupod]

didn't even realize there was a new pikmin game out, i thought everyone just really liked pikmin again all of a sudden

[splitster]

answering more POM WRAITH au/Pingo asks!!

featuring: biology questions, creatures, dingo (unfortunately), and more!! check it out ↓↓

she does need sleep! she doesn't need to sleep as often as people, but she's a little wraith and she needs to snooze every like... i dunno. three days? sure, let's go with that.

although in the first few days of her being on PNF404, i could see her getting bored one night and poking around her crewmate's rooms to see what they're doing (spoilers: they're all just sleeping). in the morning after, dingo talks about a very bizarre dream he had with a specter watching him sleep! everyone dismisses it as the ranger having some weird sleep paralysis, but pom's sweating at the table thinking about how she should be way more careful if she does that again.

this ask did inspire me though, i'll probably make more art explaining how she works sometime later hehe...

that'd be scary... although, if there's anyone incentivized to wraithify olimar, it'd probably be the plasm wraith! that golden goo is really fond of him, and they'd love to make olimar just like them

WAHH THANK YOU!!! if they ever dated and got married they'd be able to save on a dress! hehe

she might look kinda scary but she's a sweetheart!! pom would genuinely struggle to make herself hurt humans. if there's a beast threatening her crew though -- that thing is mince meat!!

WAAAHHH THANK YOU!! it's definitely a challenge to make it fit with the other wraiths but still be unique... it was fun to design though!!

IM SORRY i didn't get to your ask before i actually posted the full wraith design... there she is though!! HILAHERHLIAEERH

yes!! he's the first one to discover her secret. it'd probably happen on accident out on the field pretty early on when pom is forced to defend herself with no pikmin, but it's no difference to Oatchi -- pom is pom! he'd bark and give her helmet a lick, and when pom realizes her rescue pup isn't scared of her it's quite the relief...

i have art of oatchi and wraith pom i'll be posting later!!

WAHHH... this is cute i like this hehe!! dingo sees those striking X eyes and still falls in love!! GRRRR i must draw more pingo now...

AUGH.... OK!! more pingo on the way then boss 🫡 (i do appreciate it though lmao)

she doesn't need to eat human food, but she does need to consume living creatures for biomass! human food is definitely delicious and she very much enjoys things like chocolate or hot coco, but to sustain her form and keep up energy she has to go for creatures

i'll probably make art for this later to explain better, but it is kinda like an amoeba -- after killing something, she can cover it and dissolve it with her goo. easy peasy!

Louie: You're a wraith? I thought you were just weird like me Pom: ... Louie: ... Can you go get creatures for me

pom is trying her best to understand human social cues and etiquette but it's a struggle sometimes!

i took psychic damage from this ask thank you for penis ringo💖

YES!!!!!!!!! there are so, so many ways that could happen and each one is hilarious... i've written out a few different scenarios, i should pick one to draw out... it'd be funny if dingo learns her secret but decides to trust her and keep it safe. but he's, you know. dingo. he's not good at lying, especially to his crewmates (and especially to his actual childhood friend of a doctor who was already very suspicious of the new blood!)

of COURSE i'm very abnormal about those two.... actually if y'all have scenarios you wanna see with those two, send more asks and i'll probably end up drawing them lol

that's actually a really good question! i haven't thought too much about how her full wraith would visually change, but if she ate enough and got stronger i imagine she'd finally be as big as the other two. she'd probably gain more wraithy abilities and attacks! trying to take down a powered up full wraith pom would be a very difficult fight, even for those with the best dandori skills and a full squad of pikmin

Pom: I can't let anyone find out my secret... Shepherd: I can't let anyone find out my secret... Collin: I can't let anyone find out my secret... Dingo: I can't let anyone find out my secret... Yonny: this is gonna be fun Bernard: (doesn't care if people find out) Russ: (doesn't care if people find out) Oatchi: bark

[starlightswordfight]

WE'RE BACK. YOU KNOW IT

ID INFORMATION:

— OTTER

— HOME PLANET: GIYA

— “This library aide only arrived on PNF-404 by mistake. Just a sad wet sock of a person.”

ADDITIONAL FUN FACTS:

— otter, his surname, is derived from otterhound! his first name is rocky. he goes by his surname mostly for professionalism

— he/she pronouns! otter is genderfluid

— in a constant state of anxiety and when he gets nervous He Gets Loud. his volume control is NOT good

— due to an incredibly unfortunate case of situational irony, otter is terrified of dogs. has no reason to be, she just is. he thinks they're really cute but when they go near him his life flashes before his eyes

— canonizing the urchmin! otter discovers the sea urchin pikmin. actually it's more like one finds him and he cowers anyway he lets jackabee know (who actually starts freaking out about it) the second the guy isn't leafed anymore

— is one minor inconvenience away from crying

— has the dress suit because I love the dress suit and got sick of people not having the dress suit. and a backpack that attaches around it easily via a little buckle and she stores so many trinkets and treats in that thing it's unreal

[toon-kirby]

I like how Pikmin Bloom implies that Pikmin like to pick up random objects and wear them as accessories. Are they all to scale? No, but they're cute so it doesn't matter. They should make more. We should make more.

What the fuck do neurotypicals smoke in order to reach the conclusions they reach? As an autistic person myself, even I know not everyone under the autistic spectrum is gonna enjoy Sonic. I've seen autistics like Pokémon, mainly for the cute monster designs, the number games with battling, and so on and so forth. And I've seen autistics like Pikmin for similar or different reasons.

When you meet an autistic person, you just met one autistic person. Autistics aren't a conglomerate of people, they're just average people who have a rough understanding of social cues.

tfw other video games don't exist

Honestly, Sonic is the outlier among my interests. The others are much darker by comparison, and despite their own occasional moments of silliness, don't share the same aesthetics or narrative tone at all.

Pyramid Head kart racing. PYRAMID HEAD KART RACING.

For some reason, outside of maybe Paper Mario, I find it difficult to get into similar colorful mascot games. Sonic fills that need for childish joy too well to permit anything else in, I guess, lol.

also, as I read that ask, I kept thinking "yeah, you probably don't mean the Deadly Gang brand of neurodivergence, we just get called stupid" lmao

Been seeing "Sonic appeals to neurodivergent people" takes float around recently - though it's not a new idea by any stretch of the imagination - and, well. I don't want to step on anyone's toes since I'm not autistic myself (as far as I know; strongly suspect ADD though), but isn't it equally reductive to say you must belong to a certain demographic in order to have good takes?

You don't need a PhD or a diagnosis to have accurate takes on the series. All you need is to have paid attention to the games. That is literally the only "barrier" to entry. The bar resides in hell, and yet folks continue to cha-cha slide right under it. Two hops this time.

Besides, they always mean a certain kind of palatable neurodivergence, not the kind of brain spiciness that causes you to "over"analyze the games and gets you branded an extreme game purist.

Because deep down, liking Sonic in the "wrong" way is still weird to these people. You can't be into Sonic NSFW, you're ~lewding minors~. You can't be so attached to the games that you prefer that other media follow suit, you need to make concessions. You need to espouse the "correct" opinions, and those opinions had better be transformative, lest you be considered a stick-in-the-mud who hates fun.

And it's really ironic too, because it's like well what did you expect, this is a Chili's and I'm still waiting for my shrimp tacos a place where people who like Sonic express that like. Do you also go to the aquarium and complain that there's too many fish?

My quest to find more games was inspired by the fact I got bored playing Pikmin 4 and various new Nintendo games very quickly. Usually I only stick to platformers, toony stuff and Ninty, but after 20 years of that I guess I wanted a challenge. Pikmin 4 is super charming but I'm either too experienced with it or it's toned down for new players. I still encourage everyone to play it cuz it's cute and very fun, and the challenges definitely give you, uh, a challenge. I decided I wanted games that kick my ass. Hence why I tried Ancestors and it quickly became my favourite BECAUSE it doesn't explain shit. I loved finding out things on my own, it felt genuinely rewarding. So yeah I wanna jump into Elden Ring or something at some point because I'm ready to get my ass kicked some more!

I don't even wanna call myself a gamer. I just like games. I like how they're made more than playing them sometimes.
