These are my two squisker designs which I made using the blank design sketch of him from jinmenkennel on tumblr.

Don’t mind me, just headcanoning some things about McKraken’s Infinite Inferno recolor Minister Squisker. Some ideas were taken... – @turquoisephoenix on Tumblr

Reze and denji. Now forever together in my room. also, fuck Makima.

out of curiosity, is there anyone interested in using these concept art for bases for redesigns?

ok so we all can agree Roberta is one of the most OP fighters in all of black lagoon? she is known by many and all for her insatiable bloodlust when out in the field and being a complete badass when she fights. yet while we all remember her as this unstoppable force, a lot of people seem to miss out one thing about her: she isn’t someone who is proud of that.

Roberta is a former FARC guerilla, one who had a major role in the forces and was a brutal murderer to the point even children were not safe. but upon learning of the cocoa fields being guarded for the mafia, she fled and became the maid to the Lovelace family.

As seen in her first appearance, she trembled when Balalaika revealed this to Garcia and even told her to stop. ironically, the one person in the series remembered for her brutal feats, would pretty much hate that all people see her as is this indestructible force of death. A fate she brought upon herself.

and yet when we look at her life before the Lovelaces, it is shrouded in mystery. sure, bloodtrail gave us a few sprinkles to it, but there is still a lot of things we do not know on her. What happened to her late father? Why did she join FARC in the first place? Why is she so religious despite all she went through? It never gets brought up much by most people which is a shame considering she is perhaps one of the few characters who people can do some research on to help fill some of those gaps in.

Bloodtrail in her POV is also pretty tragic too. She lost her master/father figure by Americans, went back to Roanapur, almost killed Garcia twice, and lost most of her limbs. And while people say she is proof that people can change in black lagoon, it certainly reads more like “people can only change for good if enough of their limbs are blown off.” And considering how many other redemptive arcs and reformed monsters are in media, it is upsetting that Roberta is one of the more muddier ones as it seems the writers have no clue what he should write her as. Escpecially given how the ending to bloodtrail is more of a badass boast about powerful women being powerful and sexy in general rather about Roberta admitting her own faults and planning on atoning for them looking forward.

in fact, the true tragedy is that no matter what happens to Roberta, whatever good thing she does or whatever terrible ordeal she will suffer, she will mostly be remembered for being an insane, powerhouse of a woman. And also having big boobs because everyone these days seems to have to point out that women have breasts.

in conclusion: Please don’t make the Roberta spin-off about fights and bullets Rei. water this plant the same way you water Revy and Balalaika.

Jersey Devil:

rank: D

tribe: shady

favourite food: pizza

medallium dex entry: This yokai makes people real sport fanatics. most famous for yelling "GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!" and running across the street after his favorite team won.

When receive pizza: “Yummers!!”

when receive chinese food: bleurgh!

when receive any other food: “deeelicious!”

befriend quote: “you look like you could have someone over to watch the game with you.”

freed from crank a kai: "ey, what time is it? you know when the next game is?"

when fused with a ball of badness he evolves into:

frightmare:

rank: A

tribe: shady

favourite food: vegtables

medallium dex entry: A terrifying yokai that haunts roads. Turns out he just really likes racing and scaring drivers.

When receive vegtables: *munch, whine*

when receive meat: you'll pay for this!

when receive any other food: “...decent”

befriend quote: “I'm not what you would call a conventional steed, but I could be under your command if you like...”

freed from crank a kai: "Once again, the roads will fear me..."

these two are based on the jersey devil. not my best works but still a good concept.

next yokai is:

squoelch:

rank: E

tribe: eerie

favourite food: vegtables

medallium dex entry: This yokai is so ugly, that everyone died when they saw it. and became yokai. He was adopted by drenchetta when she heard about him.

When receive vegtables: “thank you.”

when receive bread: *sobs*

when receive any other food: *takes it*

befriend quote: “y-y-you w-would w-want t-to take m-me with y-you?”

freed from crank a kai: "I'm sorry I'm soryy! I'll stay away I will! huh? y-you wanna b-be friends..w-with me?!"

based on the squonk, a sad cryptic creature who is so ugly, people die from it. poor guy.

next yokai when you fuse enduriphant with ball of badness:

alltipa-faugnx:

rank: S

tribe: tough

favourite food: rice balls

medallium dex entry: enduriphant has changed since heading for BBQ. Now he seem's to have forgotten about endurance and instead is kidnapping people, talking strangely and is even researching about yokai that are meant to never even return! we fear he may want to ascend to their pantheon...

When receive rice balls: “thank you for the offering.”

when receive bread: "prepare for the harvest!"

when receive any other food:* dismisses*

befriend quote: “I must have you as my high priest. you are just too strong!”

freed from crank a kai: "In the beginning I could not see until I had my epiphany...you will know about it in due time child..."

His design and lore is a mix between the man eating mammoth cryptid Atipa Tacoba and Chaugnar Faugn from lovecraft. These two were what led me to create an enduiphant evolution where he want's to acsend to become a mighty eldritch being.

here is a link to these two lesser known creatures.

Chaugnar Faugn | The H.P. Lovecraft Wiki | Fandom

next yokai is:

prickwudgie:

rank: D

tribe: heartful

favourite food: snacks

medallium dex entry: Distant relatives to Gnomey, these guys help travellers and passer-byers wandering alone in the woods to safety.

When receive snack: “thank you friend!”

when receive oden: "sorry, but I'll pass."

when receive any other food: "thanks."

befriend quote: “It's dangerous to go alone. take me with you!”

freed from crank a kai: "Thank you for freeing me! I am eternally in your debt now!"

and finally when prickwudgie is fused with essence of evil you get:

corruptwudgie:

rank: D

tribe: wicked

favourite food: snacks

medallium dex entry: prickwudgie has become corrupted! Now he attacks and harms any who go in the woods. even after the dead cloud's destruction, prickwudgie's reputation amongst humans still hasn't recovered...

trade quote: “Hehehe...looks like I got a new playmate!”

freed from crank a kai: "Hehehe...looks like deadtime ain't around...you are MY minion now!"

these last two are based on the puckwudgie, a creature in wampanoag folklore who once tried helping humans only to turn on them out of spite and jelousy. I chose to make prickwudgie's case more tragic to give a wider effect dame deadtime's plan had on the world.

link to them.

Fun fact: the Dragozon group is partially derived from amazon due to all members of the group being female yokai.
