hey all i got this pretty wacky pitch for a pikmin 4 au
olimar’s son is transfem :) pom/lisa is her but grown up
moved to karut to pursue education + dreams, doesn’t get to visit home often if at all but always writes to her family
trained for the rescue corps to get the chance of “being an explorer” like olimar
don’t try to take this too seriously AJDJJFG i fully understand this makes no sense at all in the actual pikmin 4 canon, this is just a for-the-fun-of-it kind of hc/au 👍

New game! Lies Under Ice, by Joey Jones
New game! "Lies Under Ice" by Joey Jones is now available on Steam, iOS and Android. It's 33% off until Dec 14. Please reshare this with friends!
Lead the first settlement on Jupiter's frozen moon, Europa! What alien life lurks beneath the ice? Who is sabotaging your mission? Who can you trust?
“Lies Under Ice” is a 200,000-word interactive science fiction novel by Joey Jones, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
The year is 2079. Your mission is to build a settlement, explore Europa's treacherous oceans, terraform the moon, and send findings back to Earth.
But political factions within your colony vie for dominance, constantly on the brink of open conflict. While they are technically collaborating on this mission, each one has their own goals for Europa. Will this colony be a site for new trade? A home for Earth's ever-growing population? A clean slate where humans can break free of older social models? How far will each side go to get what they want?
With the most advanced science at your disposal—massive terraforming systems, gene splicing, AI therapy-bots, nerve-connected bionic prosthetics, and more—you can venture from the safety of your spaceship out into the hostile frozen world. Descend beneath the ice of Europa, pilot a submarine through frigid waters that no human has ever seen, and uncover ancient secrets of an alien world.
There's definitely alien life here. But does it pose a danger to you and your fellow settlers, or is it the greatest opportunity that humanity has ever known?
Play as male, female, or nonbinary; gay, straight, bi, or aromantic; poly or monogamous.
Choose among six distinct professional backgrounds: diplomat, aerospace engineer, arcologist, asteroid miner, pilot, or marine biologist.
Manage the complex needs of an extraterrestrial base: prioritize the comfort of the workers, maximize scientific output, build luxury domes, dig mazes of ice tunnels, or engage in terraforming.
Navigate the treacherous politics of Earth’s squabbling factions from millions of miles away!
Interact with Europa's alien ecosystem: will you release fish as a sustainable food source, bring along cats for companionship, or rely on synthetic creatures to avoid introducing invasive species?
Run for office in Europa's fledgling government!
Delve beneath the ice, and reach for the stars!

another thing about starfield, as someone who, yes, are you fucking kidding me i would be a space explorer if I could, no reservations about it, is that it lets me envision this embodiment of what my life could’ve been if I’d been born 300 years later. does that make sense? like it’s not just a game i like playing for fun in the same way as something like cyberpunk or fallout. it is for me, genuinely, the closest I’ll ever get to this true want that i have that i’ll never be able to attain.
consider sarah morgan. the explorer. made to explore space. what on earth would she be doing if nobody invented the grav drive?
but i have no choice. stuck on earth and I think that’s such a shame.
i mean, maybe it’s all nonsense and science fiction is science fiction. if i’d never been exposed to this type of media, had the seed planted, would i feel the same as i do now? i guess that argument doesn’t matter because we all have our influences that push us in certain directions, but ultimately it is us who choose to continue in that direction.
maybe humans will never reach other planets or solar systems. i hate to be pessimistic but we already have seemingly insurmountable problems on this planet.
the truth is, we don’t fucking know what the future holds. we’re already living in some old dreamer’s sci-fi fantasy right now. tiny metal boxes that show us anything we want and let us communicate across the planet instantaneously? all of human knowledge at our fingertips? virtual worlds that let us envision our wildest dreams? shit, what i do now, software development, is itself a passion reserved for only those lucky enough to live alongside it.
so maybe there is hope for some sarah morgan one day.
but what about the dreamers lost in time?
i have been waiting for starfield my whole life.
and it will stay with me as long as i live.
