I'm Working On Some Concept Art For My Pre-Mother 3 Theory Right Now And I'm Getting A Little Bored,

I'm working on some concept art for my Pre-Mother 3 theory right now and I'm getting a little bored, so here's some mother 3 headcanons.

(Spoiler warning!) (Also major Duster favoritism)

Lucas

Terrible at socializing, but still loved for being able to listen.

Unintentionally sneaky. That one kid who's always lurking around.

Smells like cinnamon toast crunch.

Sees Claus in Kumatora.

Something about Duster reminds him of Hinawa. Gets very sentimental whenever he hugs him.

Swears very, very rarely. Someone or something is in a massive amount of danger when he does.

People mistake him for being emotionless when in reality he bottles everything up. When he does finally open the bottle he becomes a massive mess. (Note: Self projection (●'◡'●))

Cleans to distract himself.

Once recieved a comic book from a tourist. Was fascinated by it for a short while but threw it away the same day he got it.

Much stronger than he looks. Taking care of sheep has strengthened him significantly.

Has conflicted feelings about his dad.

Worries if he too will start to bald when he gets older.

Kumatora

I feel like if she was real she'd be into gyaru fashion.

Enjoys doing excessive makeup as a hobby but would only wear eyeliner at max regularly.

Absolutely despised her time working at Club Titiboo but became close friends with the other waitresses. Had considered using her paychecks for a phone to communicate with them once she left.

Got the color of her hair from all the years of PSI training with Ionia. Originally brown-haired.

Was a massive scaredy-cat through the ages of 6 to 9.

Incredible mealtime etiquette. (Ionia's doing)

Her blue pendant originally belonged to her biological parents.

A preteen Duster rescued her from a collapsed building as an infant pre-white ship.

Sprays Duster with perfume to wake him up.

Has dabbled in playing the electric guitar. Gets lessons from Magic in exchange for PSI lightshows.

Sees Duster as an older brother figure. Bullies him relentlessly.

Sees Lucas as a younger brother figure. Dotes on him relentlessly.

Studies other PSI users to improve her own PSI.

Has read every book in Osohe.

Duster

Was surprisingly hot-headed as a kid. Mellowed out as he aged.

Used to have longer hair as a kid but cut most of it off as it interfered with training. Has thought about regrowing it.

His receding hairline is due to stress. After he joined DCMC it started to (slowly) grow back (With the help of some borrowed hair products).

Is clairvoyant in a non-PSI way. Gave Lucas the mini-mini charm before he embarked for Osohe as he knew the kid would be lonely from then on.

Is in a hidden poly relationship with the rest of the band.

Takes care of his afro wig better than he does his actual hair.

He actually wrote lyrics for many of DCMC's songs. A majority of them went unused.

Thinks of Lucas as his legacy and as such never plans on having kids.

Was the one who named Kumatora. Because he was a preteen at the time, he gave her the wildest name he could think of.

Gets frequent nightmares of his pre-white ship days, but completely forgets about them the moment he wakes up.

Is covered head-to-toe in scars and calluses.

Is deemed the most attractive out of the DCMC members. He's heavily against having the title.

Gets incredibly dangerous when drunk (Yor Forger-style drunkard).

Ate ants once because he was tricked into thinking they tasted like cherries.

Was absolutely feral as a teenager. People would only come across him if they were out foraging in the forest.

Many children label him as a Tazmily cryptid. Multiple supernatural rumours about him exist.

Boney

Imagines itself as the twins' third sibling instead of a pet.

Missed Flint the most out of everyone.

A very good dog.

On another note, you are completely welcome to call me crazy but I think Splatoon is a potential continuation of the Mother series timeline. I'll probably write a ridiculously long theory on this later but for now I'll leave it at that.

please reblog so more ppl can see!!!

Updates

I feel like my AU is less of an "AU" more than it is a theory for what was happening before the events of the white ship. I plan to make Duster the main protagonist of it and I've taken inspiration from the darker elements of the Side: Order DLC teaser for presentation! I'll shortly be posting the first completed art of it!

Of course, I'm only a small, intermediate artist so it won't be a full-on series, but I'll be posting concept art here and there of what I imagine the Earth looked like pre-Mother 3. I hope you'll enjoy it!

I'm not sure what to name it yet though. After I post some more art of it, I'll be sure to think up one.

I've always wondered this in the past, but what do you guys think Duster sounds like?

Team strawberry let's goooo!!!!

This idea came at me full speed. I have to draw it, here y'all go.

Just testing out my phone's camera :)
