#hylics hc

[amphibizzy]

a draft of my Hylics minor ability headcanons to bring my ideas in one place and clarify some art! juice twins' temperature manipulation and resistance, and waynes nightlight

Somsnosa's mini weather is a fun way to make her little sad raincloud in hylics 1 more literal, and Wayne's is something that i definitely wouldve gave him for no reason, but does mimic the way he seems to light up caves in hylics 2

I forget how much you've shared but I think you should mayhaps give a big list of your Splithead species hcs of the creature variety and also society ones maybe <3

Okay so split heads are like Humanoid beings that are clay based and are symbiotically  tied to fungi slime molds! I personally refer to them as mulns (because dedus and smul both have ‘mul’ in their names)

huge ass lore drop under the cut

The horns are fungi! They're like the texture of a very stale Swedish fish but are very sensitive! They also get a bit drippy when the splithead is all emotional and weepy! Their horns are their predominant sensory organ, its where their eyes and scent glands are!  

Splitheads also have fungi that grow all over their body though some of it is seasonally occurring. This fungi is actually various slime molds though, and they are attached to the nervous system of the Splithead! Those fungi are like connected to the subconscious and display emotions! So like they wiggle around when the Muln is happy or anxious! Theres also two kinds of mulns, Mulns born in th wet season and those born in the dry season. 

Now Mulns aren exactly born persay, they start out as spores which parasitically live in another organism aka a host! Until they get enough nutrients! Then they burrow out of any hole in the body or just make their own, usually killing the host and then they dig into the soil where they grow like plants for a couple more months. 

After those months the baby mulns burrow out of the soil with big ol fungi covered horns and theyre so very hungry and so they start eating each other with their goblin shark mouths, which is called The Feast in muln culture and usually only one Muln surivives the feast, theres social stigma surrounding mulns that dont eat their batchmates during the feast.Also the more batchmates you eat the bigger muln you are! So Smuldunde? Yeah she fucking ate everyone!

Wet mulns only have thier fungi during the wet season, and they have patches on slime mold that grow on them rather than dry mulns usually that have their fungi all year round and can grow full body like fur ! And dry mulns horns are more so like a jelly bean, hard crust on the outside. Mulns also have 3 sets of eyes, one on the front, the side and on the tips of thier horns (because they are both prey and predator animals due to the feast)

If anyone has anymore questions at all about muln lore at all or want clarifications just ask!!!

OKAY so I'm gonna fucking info dump my very heavily head cannoned and redesigned Fleam because I'm thinking about him real hard. And to, explain how he looks when I draw him.

So the most notable things away from his cannon design are how i draw his horns and face. I draw these both similarly to how I draw Smuldunde and Dedusmuln because I hc that Fleam is also a splithead. His more person-like face is a mask that he wears over his face to look less scary (that Instar encourages him not to).

Since he's a splithead I draw his horns bigger like i do Smul's and Dedus' (unless they're still growing back from them dying, then they're skinnier). The main difference to them I draw him with are the holes surround by green. This is from an infection he has in them. Basically the outer layers of a splithead's horns are made of slime mold that's highly sensitive but has a outer layer that's more solid and skin like. Fleam has an infection in his caused by another splithead's slimemold getting in there. The other slime mold attempts to eat Fleam's causing large gross holes to appear all over his horns.

He managed to get the infection in a duel he had with Dedusmuln. After the events of the first game Dedusmuln went back to his home village of splitheads to see how people were holding up after the spell of madness and Fleam was like "no way you were one of the people who took down Gibby you loser" and challenged them to a duel. In splithead culture duels are supposed to be to the death (since you respawn anyways), but once Fleam was starting to lose he got scared and started to run because he remembered how Gibby didn't respawn after Dedusmuln fought him and his ass didn't want to be next. This is suppperrr disgraceful to do, plus made it easier for Dedusmuln to kill his ass and steal his armor (which is where I hc they got their armor in the second game from).

Anways a bit after his horns had regrown from his trip to the afterlife the holes started appearing and since the illness is super uncommon the village was like "ew what the hell" and chased Fleam out throwing rocks at him </3 bc they thought it might be contagious (which it's not!) But Fleam doesn't quite know what it is either so he assumes the sages cursed him for being dishonorable in battle.

Another part of Splithead anatomy my friend who came up with the anatomy hcs ( @eggratgremlin ) came up with is that their eyes are located within the slime mold of the horns, so due to the decay of Fleam's, he is mostly blind. They're also where they smell from so his sense of smell is dulled too.

The setting I normally draw him in is while he's living in the woods with Instar <3 they just be two freaks in the woods.

[gloopdimension]

dont get me wrong transmasc hcs are awesome. but its ALWAYS transmasc hcs and not even w fat people its ALWAYS skinny white transmasc hcs. ALWAYS!

[dismyzz]

HUMAN FLEAMIE HC!!!! idk what it is whenever i draw him on my phone he always ends up on the far right these days . HM!

[fruity-boy-bruno]

erm uhhhhh Dedusmuln hcs?

Heheh yes..

So first off I hc that they use they/he pronouns..

When it comes to more specific creatury things there's a lot of stuff that @eggratgremlin came up with (that I helped with a littttlee) for splitheads in general that I really really like but ik they have written a lot of down somewhere so I'm a little too lazy to resay (mostly because it's VERY in depth) sorry to send anyone more interested in that on a chase..

Okay, so they did go to college for archeology (among other things, they tried a bunch of different stuff for their degree but none stuck that well) BUT they dropped out. And are a self proclaimed Dr in archeology. Since the madness spell made that type of thing hard to track, people are pretty inclined to believe him.

They also occasionally help Smul with their mad scientist shit but very occasionally.

Oh oh! In Hylics 2 they suddenly have the armor because they stole it from Fleam (points at my post about Fleam hcs) but also they like became a knight! They asked Pongorma to train them and stuff between the games.. and they took a very specific oath about protecting a very specific person... heheh...

I also hc that they have pretty bad anxiety and get realllly paranoid about everything that could go wrong in a situation and need others to help them refocus and get less nervous. They took a LOT of reassuring before most of their major fights. Along with that anxiety they're pretty worried someone's gonna find out that fake doctorate (the crew already knows, I mean like someone it'd be bad to find out)

thinking abt him......

Week 6, up to day 41. By next Wednesday I will be at 45 days straight, hopefully having ingrained a daily habit. I need to journal on a page about what I learned from the experience, especially in regards to keeping the habit and fitting it into my routine.

After Wednesday I want to re-evaluate my goals and decide what to tackle next. I'll keep the daily practice, but maybe its OK to only do a few warm-ups, scribbles, or a half a page a day while I focus on the other goals. Such as:

Figure drawing (quickposes dot com at minimum, but also try to go to a weekly night group when possible). I went to a real figure drawing session last October, so at least I have a reference for a number of short vs long poses if I'm at home. Twice a week?

2. Sketching in real sketchbooks rather than printer pages. I already own good sketchbooks, I just have perfectionism issues. As a bonus, I can touch other media that better paper can handle.

3. Some of the new routine time can now be used for FINISHING old pieces. 🤞

ok but i honestly didnt see anyone having a carapace on waynes hc yet

maybe noone is saying it?? like ive seen ppl making tails for waynes, giving them weird teeth n pupils, a whole bunch of extra legs headcanons, but no even residual carapace on the back

i think that would make sense! im gonna have that hc now. :)

[musicforteeth]

i feel like wayne sounds like wyatt shears and that scares me just a bit
