For real though I love Lobster so much it took me so long to post him because I wanted to keep him to myself LMAO, so I’m FINALLY posting him after 2000 years
More Info / Lore Under The Cut:
In a nutshell, his lore is basically this:
Some of the Lightner kids in Deltarune wanted to play a prank because they knew other students were going to go to the computer lab to study. I remember hearing about high school pranks about students bringing in wild animals to basically terrorize people, so I thought of the Lightners just.. going to Walmart and seeing the lobsters in the tank. They grabbed one of the smallest and cheapest ones, because who’s going to shell out a lot of money for a prank? And put it in a box and set it in the library.
Unfortunately, the power goes entirely out, and this is when the Dark Fountain is opened in the library. Due to some weird logic and the nature of Spamton being outcast and separated from the other Addisons (in this case, this diseased lobster never being picked to be bought to eat for years), the lobster itself having been somewhat of an object came to life as a Spamton-adjacent creature in this Dark World. The world he comes from is dark and empty, every Addison and creature is frozen due to the power outage.
He’s kind of a feral lobster that was given the gift of sentience but also suffers from knowing what his fate originally was intended to be (him being caught in the ocean for the sake of being eaten) and is conflicted on the fact that he was never chosen for his intended “destiny” and he’s sentient enough to be aware of it.
However he’s also very stupid and very animal. He doesn’t know why he’s upset sometimes and doesn’t understand how fucked up it is. That’s not stopping him from eating plastic he finds on the beach
FUN FACT: Lobster is one of the main inspirations behind @lighterium ‘s “The Spamtoning” AU and I could not be more fucking proud of my BOY for inspiring something so fun to take part in
Also here’s an alt of this reference of Lobster tearing the shit out of Anton’s (Lighterium’s OCs) coat:
Yes this is my work, @ slothwithpants is my instagram. I trust instagram folks less than I trust tumblr folks, I feel like they are more likely to steal my shit.
After not drawing anything super detailed for a year (/j)
I give you MY BOY!!!
For the longest time I've been struggling with my art and making something that I'm genuinely proud of.
I look up a lot to Nicholas Kole and his art, as he worked on one of my favourite games!!! I his art is a huge inspiration, so trying to create something similar was difficult but felt SO GOODDD
I believe and hope if I continue going with this style I'll finally be more happier with my art
ANYWAY KAO THE KANGAROO VERY GOOD GAME YOU SHOULD PLAY IT
In old sketches of famous occasions, balls and other dates to remember, tucked into records.
He knew the space she'd occupied, the way his father spoke so fondly about her, sweet memories set to a melancholy key. He'd noticed that it seemed like his father still only slept on one side of the bed, despite it being plenty big enough to flop over in the center if he wished. He'd seen her wedding ring, tucked away in a jewelry box.
But beyond all of that, the remains of a ghost long departed, Roy had seen her in life.
Her cheekbones, the curve of her mouth, the way her eyes looked when she was focused- those he all knew from the mirror.
Mother.
Roy opened his mouth to call to her, but he hesitated. His father here was young, so young he hadn't met Roy yet. If she was alive, then... she couldn't know him, even if he knew who she'd be to him someday.
"Good evening." Underwhelming, but acceptable. Roy bowed slightly to her, willing himself, for the second time he was meeting one of his parents, to keep bittersweet tears out of his eyes. "You must be Lady Ninian, yes? I am from Pharae myself."
She sees him before he begins to approach and her eyes light up. From far enough away, father and son are almost indistinguishable. The addition of school uniforms does not help. Ninian lifts her hand to wave as Roy makes his approach but it does not take long before she realizes her mistake. This isn't her Eliwood. Has she been away from him for so long that she'll so easily mistake a stranger for him?
But Roy at least knows her. He's from Pherae even. She feels a bit less foolish but the flush doesn't fade completely from her cheeks.
And even up close, he still bears a striking resemblance to the man who won her heart. It's almost uncanny and she doesn't realize how intently she is staring. There's something else about him, too, that she can't quite place. Something familiar and calming. She can't make sense of it.
Friendly reminder that Percy jackson - our beloved silly adorable seaweed brain - is absolutely terrifying. When he’s angry, when he’s scared, when he’s on edge - he’s not warm and fuzzy.
No other character gets that reaction from people. Jason (the sweetie) is perceived as calm and in control, nico (our favorite self-outcasted outcast) is perceived as solemn and creepy, reyna (girlboss queen slay) is perceived as confident and assertive, and annabeth (our girl) is perceived as fierce, clever, and formidable. They are all intimidating to an extent.
But not like Percy. No. Becasue even when he’s at ease, he’s described as wild and disobedient. And when he’s not at ease, even if just little bit, he’s perceived as powerful, dangerous, and scary. Someone who NOBODY wants to mess with. Nobody even questions his power. One look from him has literal gangs running the other way. One look from him has Leo so scared that he’s literally shaking, and feeling the same innate fright and alarm that he does when jason summons an ear-piercing, earth-shaking, deadly bolt of lighting.
like… HELLO??? can we all just sit on that for a moment?? good lord
One angry look from percy has people thinking one thing: Run.
Percy is, canonically, the character that people find the most frightening and intimidating.
And unless he’s in a good mood - which you better hope he is - the reality is that most of us would be completely terrified of him if we met him.
i lowkey forget that percy's full name is perseus. and like. that name goes so hard. because it just sounds like this mf could kick your ass. like imagine you're a junior in high school and your teacher introduces a new student by the name of 'perseus jackson'. and before you even raise your head to look at the guy. you just know this mf could clock you.
I love how whenever ATLA recognizes Sokka is smart enough to solve a problem but it’d be too fast they just stick him in some kind of situation. Like he COULD’VE stopped jet from drowning a town so they tied him up and dumped him in a forest. He COULD’VE figured out what that spirits deal was so they lost him in the spirit world for 24 hours.
