This Weekend, I Was Morphed! Transformed! Into The Great Wizard Magnificus At The KCC! After I Cosplayed

I can only imagine the Bone Lord sounding like the narrator from Trivia Murder Party

I wasn’t going to post my Inscryption card style tests but I feel like I should share these at least

good dreams

Pssst- Hey. You. Yes, you.

Gimme your wifi access.

One, admittedly strange, headcanon of mine is that Leshy doesn’t have a voice- at least not in the typical sense! 

You see- Leshy speaks, or rather communicates via telepathy by transmitting the message he wishes to convey directly into the mind of whomever he is talking to via (what I believe to be) a mixture of magic and pure will! 

It’s why, unlike, say Grimora, Magnificus, or even P03, Leshy does not have those tonal notes during his dialogue. Yes, Leshy does drag out the bass boosted wubbing depending on the curtness of what he is saying. There are very, very minute variations in his overall presentation of those notes. Still, it’s not like Grimora’s laughter and hums, the primordial whispers of the damned Magnificus has going on or the beeps and boops of P03. 

But for Leshy, this lack of outright expression is deliberate! Why? Because overemphasis in the tone of the wubbing as he transmits his words into your mind will overpower the voice your mind will instinctively assign him. See, whenever Leshy transmits the words into the minds of whomever he is speaking to, they are just that, words. However, when your brain finds it difficult to compute these words as voice from another person without the sound to back it up or differentiate it from your own thoughts. 

So, your brain will instinctively assign a voice to these words you have transmitted into your head, and that voice becomes Leshys! Something wholly unique to him based on your perception of him, the manner with which he speaks and his eloquence. And Leshy? Leshy not only gets this (hence why during the ‘boss’ battles, he switches up the words and slang chosen. It’s to differentiate them from the voice you assign him and to richen the world he’s trying to create for you.) But Leshy LOOOOOOVES this. Words cannot describe how much he enjoys this phenomenon, and, to maintain it, he gives you very little to work with in terms of determining a voice beyond the tone and curtness with which he would be speaking them! 

Standard procedure to tell when Leshy considers you very close is asking earnestly how he sounds to you. It’s just so personal and intimate, and a part of him wants to reassure himself that he doesn’t sound too harsh when he doesn’t intend to. Which is a line of questioning that opens a wholeass can of worms because it can and will be the only time you learn Leshy is capable of telepathy and uses it to communicate with you. Due to the fact his throat isn’t capable of forming any words beyond guttural, bestial sounds like bellowing, growling, barking, howling, etc.

( Which is super intimidating until the moment Leshy wholeheartedly believes he loses you in the forest around his cabin and starts bleating after you like an orphaned calf, and you’re left with the sobering, albeit hilarious realization ‘oh, so it doesn’t only apply for the badass parts of the animal kingdom!’ )

Kaycee's Mod: P03 Edition Comic + Ideas

l. The takeover

What if P03 got the OLD_DATA first instead of Leshy? That's basically the premise of this AU lol

II. Intro

Kaycee is not impressed with P03's storytelling

III. Skill Issue

I imagine Kaycee was mainly in charge of Grimora's and maybe partly Leshy's development, and while she was familiar with the other Scrybes' gameplay, she wasn't too good at playing them

May be lore inaccurate as ik Kaycee is a card gamer nerd, but even pros take Ls sometimes :p

IV. Playing Favourites

Despite not knowing Leshy is also self aware, I like to think Kaycee would still smash from just knowing him from the base game lol.

V. Broken Fight

Average unfinished boss fight

This was Inspired by the "P03 in Kaycee's mod" mod 👀

I saw that they updated the mod a couple of months ago so I played it and I got dragged back to a mini Inscryption brainrot again lol- See, brainrots don't die, they lay dormant until they take over your life again asldkfjasdlf

Anyways, the mod's super fun and it consumed my life for a couple of days!! Also idk if they balanced the mod more or if I just got really lucky but I have more success in finishing runs compared to 2 yrs ago where it took abt a week for me to finish ONE run WITHOUT challenges;; regardless, I enjoyed the new additions to the mod :3

I made a post following this same swap AU idea almost 2 years ago, but I felt compelled to put a little bit more effort this time. I didn't take this too seriously so there may be some handwaving in regards to like, the canon because I have a headache trying to follow it too much lmao

but P03 and Kaycee are my faves, so im just having fun making this silly comic :^]

(I have a couple more pages sketched out but idk when I'll finish it. but uh, yeah, I'll probably have another post following this up sometime in the future in case anyone's wondering 👀)

pov: Leshy teaches you how to play
