Blinky and Clyde get semi-regular Asks submitted for them, and a lot more this month after it became clear I was focusing on a few Halloween Asks. Unfortunately, both of them are a bit tricky to do much with in Asks. You see, when I make Spookyverse characters, I often think about how they’d work if they were in a legitimate horror movie (or the like). For the Punchinello Pranksters, this means they have a bit of a group dynamic. Inky and Pinky are kinda the faces of the group, the ones with more personality who get all the dialogue. Clyde is more of the silent, creepy supporting character, while Blinky’s the one who mostly communicates through laughing. Of course, those aren’t hard rules and I could break them at any time, but since they haven’t shown up much I haven’t had much opportunity to convey these elements of their characters. This Ask was convenient because it’s focused a lot more on Kazuma’s reaction, something he does well in his own role in his show. Having an over-the-top reaction to some trouble he got into due to the proclivities of Darkness is just as much on-brand for him as laughing at nothing is for Blinky.
