Relistening to Mission to Zyxx and it’s just as dumb as I remember god bless. I’m always and forever a sucker for an absurdist improvised serial adventure podcast. I will never change. Half-way though season 3 right now and felt like drawing the crew.
Definitely used @snuffysbox’s animated pitch designs as a sort of jumping-off point — they’re so soild and I’m a huge fan of her work.
Really underrated part of C-53’s character growth arc is IMMEDIATELY after C gets out of his restraining bolt and he’s like ‘well i dont know where i stand with any of you since you guys were like. My masters before. So im just going to be an unrelenting dick and see how that works out for me.’ And then that works out so well that he gets a best friend for life
i love mission to zyxx because whatever the fuck pleck and c-53 have going on is just so deeply part of nature nobody ever talks about it. nearly everyone i've spoken to in the community is like yeah they're gay as hell but there's absolutely no trace of any kind of Ship Community here at all. always drawn and pictured and mentioned together but never with a caption like They're kissing btw. because yeah we know. it's just a law of the universe. gravity exists and pleck and c-53 always have some ambiguously gay bullshit going on
i swear i'll be there for you
i swear i'll follow through
stay the course
and keep the ship manned
i was certain if i fell through the bottom
you'd be happy just to float here on your own
i was never quite prepared for the long ride
oh, away, away, away alone
Mr. Robot-Man. Protocol and diplomatic relations droid. Thinks he is the most smart and normal but has just as many issues and eccentricities as his friends/coworkers. AI cube that inhabits different frames, gives no shits about his body being destroyed. AI used to be housed in a boat and he had a homoerotic relationship with the boat's captain. At one point he gets stuck in a human body and thinks he doesn't need to sleep bc he's a robot not a person. He's an asshole and it's great.
C-53 from mission to zyxx has space grindr just loaded up in the background constantly. The crew visits a new planet and he sets himself to visible but does NOTHING with the information, he just likes the ego boost from people being into him
when pleck found out C-53 is only the cube and not the frame, when Pleck realised that after Dar ripped C-53's frame apart they can save him if they find a new frame for the cube, when Pleck didn't know how to properly carry or store the cube but just knew it was important to keep it safe, when Pleck told C-53 he's beautiful in every frame, when Pleck implicitly gained a unique perspective and love for C-53 after handling the cube, when Pleck understood without even knowing the full story that C-53 loves being a boat, when Pleck asked C-53 every time he got a new frame how he feels in it, when Pleck... when the cube... when.. he...
