FLUKUEY FRIEND SQUARE HEADCANONS BUT DISABILITY THIS TIME OKAY?? OKAY <333333

putting a cw also here for brief cancer mention (it is survived obviously but just in case) (please be safe!!!)

– dash with combined ADHD (IS HIT BY A CAR)

– listen LISTEN. is stimming 24/7 on a subconscious level, took up spelunking professionally because it allows him an outlet for movement that he needs

– always wound up and never relaxed. always tired and never calm. even when exhausted it's always go go go go go for him and he struggles a lot with regulating things like sleep, and routine, and no matter how badly he wants to sit down and just go to fucking bed he can't hold still

– I am also a believer in trans man dash. he picked that name on purpose because it makes him feel better (people without adhd mock his behavior and people WITH adhd scorn representation that he can relate to because "we don't ever act like that". and it hurts him because he has a hyperactive subtype. and he acts like that)

– prone to losing things and small injuries from poor coordination and trips over his words a lot. his sensory processing is a little off but he's not gonna think about that right now

– also hard of hearing but he doesn't know he is. it isn't severe but still impacts his day to day life. he hasn't got it checked because he thinks it might just be bad processing from ADHD but it's not. It's really not,

– I now raise you: OSDD-4 jin

– when people are discussing dissociative disorders I very very rarely see any positive rep outright, and then when I do it is always for one disorder and none of the others. MAYBE two. there are four types of OSDD, just as one example, and I am hearing CONSTANT crickets when the other three are brought up literally ever

– sure jin is able to plan things out very well and is good at focusing on their own thoughts and lining things up mentally, but they also cannot control when these episodes happen. they will freeze and then just Stand There and then be disoriented by the time it's over

– short-term amnesia is common with them. xe can very often be found asking Quietly And Subtly to be filled in on events they might have missed. they hate having to do this. temporarily becoming a leafling made their symptoms worse

– this happened a lot with jin's space exploring partner and it partially contributed to them parting ways for a while before the events of PNF-404 even though they hold no hard feelings

– molly has some kind of chronic illness going on but all it says on her record is vasovagal syncope. certain stressors can and will cause her to pass out! it isn't as bad as it was during his childhood but he will still feel lightheaded almost daily no matter what he does

– the underlying cause could be anything. they've got no idea what. they're just prone to dizziness

– the most pressing triggers for her are stress. breathing exercises aren't something that can calm molly down efficiently because they will actually make fainting more likely

– it also isn't dehydration doing it but she drinks like a billion gallons of water a day so they don't worry about accidentally self sabotaging. won't fix her but NOT hydrating will make it WORSE !!!

– streaming is a very nice job for her in terms of being able to sit down and not running the risk of overexertion, HOWEVER this means there are some things that she absolutely WILL NOT do. he's willing to do a good handful of Interesting Things for the audience but he's not going to ever put himself in deliberate harm's way and she sure as hell won't encourage that behavior in her viewers

– neurodivergent as HELL but I can't figure out in what way specifically. there's something going on though LOOK at her. at the rescue post pacing like she's going to die if she stops

– patch is neurotypical and spent most of his life up to now completely abled, but a few years before canon events ended up developing soft tissue sarcoma in one of his legs, which went unnoticed until it had reached an obvious (and critical) stage. and he generally recovered, having noticed it just in time for intervention, but still has some complications, including a prosthetic right leg from the thigh down

– it isn't visible while in the space suit and causes significant problems in the leafling form, as the transformative process into one didn't recognize it as flesh and kept trying to reject it. he managed to hold onto it anyway, at least, since losing all your aids would be just awful dandori

– patch has long since gotten used to using it but can have problems still with motor coordination in his legs. estimating pressure and placement is a lot more of a conscious effort when your limb no longer has most of its nerves anymore

– this is all also absolutely what got him so invested in gambling. like he did before but ESPECIALLY did now. patch thinks taking risks is fun and worth it, he knows better than anyone how quickly life can intervene for no reason. his attitude on PNF-404 is so flippant for that reason -- it genuinely does not scare him

– oh, yeah?? the Leaves are gonna get me?? I hope they do. what if I WANT the creatures to come after me?? what if I want them to try,

– also he DIRELY needs to replace the fucking thing but he doesn't feel like doing it yet. his friends have to yell at him to get it taken care of

me the next time I see a chemist: “you sick freak. you absolute sadist. Where is Lewis and why did he make those fcked up structures”

[starlightswordfight]

If you assumed that near death experiences on a strange planet would be enough adventure for one lifetime you would be dead wrong, actually.

It's been a few months, we've all had time to recover, four castaways in particular have gotten settled right back home and Dash REALLY wants to take his bestest most specialest friends out rock climbing.

pikmin 2... whadda game

[piosplayhouse]

!!! PATCH UPDATE:

The wonderful @layzeal let me know that Patch's name in the Brazilian Portuguese localization is "Karamelo", in reference to an iconic type of caramel-colored mixed breed stray commonly found in Brazil, confirming that he is indeed a reference to mutts/mongrels ^^

EVERY PIKMIN 4 CASTAWAY'S CANON DOGSONA

Link to the rescue corps

After hours of research, I've compiled a definitive chart of what every dog every single Pikmin 4 NPC's name references. This time, I also added their original Japanese names in comparison to their English localized ones, as some of the breeds aren't entirely clear in the latter. I cross-referenced Pikipedia and Yuatoa Game Labo to formulate the best guesses between the two languages, so I hope this satisfies curious onlookers!

Special conundrum: Wolfgang.

So you would think Wolfgang would be an easy character to do this for, right. Obviously the wolf's in there, that's it, right? Except it's not because his name in Japanese isn't anything close to Wolfgang. It's Airu. As in Ireland. So all leads in Japanese led to Irish dogs, but all leads in English led to wolves and wolfdogs. And I have no idea why this translation discrepancy is so ridiculously gigantic that it blows all the rest of the names I was having issues with out of the water.

But I came to the conclusion that obviously the translation team would have the knowledge, they would choose something that still references the original concept especially on a theme as universal as dogs, so with that idea I came to this 3am guess: he's an Irish wolfhound.

Probably no one cares about this character, and I don't either. But this is my informed speculation conspiracy corkboard theory on his dogsona. Please leave your thoughts below and let me know how you feel about the doggy dog world of Pikmin 4.
