I always worry about answering these types of Asks where the answer is “no.” Probably the asker was hoping to see Canute topping or dominating someone, but I felt like I had a good grasp for how he’s respond and this was a better fit I think. That’s not to say Canute can’t top or whatever, but I feel like this is the more honest answer.
Here we see a return of Clayface in his Stephanie persona. I still have a pic I wanna do at some point based on this episode of HBO’s Harley Quinn series, but I thought this Ask sounded fun and I wanted to play a bit into some of the dialogue from that episode. Beyond that, this is also the first Ask this version of Harley has answered, as the previous ones were done with the comic or B:TAS versions of the character.
So I think the premise behind this question is that, wince Winry made Ed’s automail, she’d be disappointed or something to see him no longer need it. I don’t think that’s how she’d feel, though, so I tried to articulate that a bit here while also giving the canon explanation for what’s happening on set when he does appear with it like for the FMA One-Shot. I also figured she should let Ed put his restored hand to use a bit.
Of course there’s a couple Persona 5 characters in the Studio Futaba could’ve hypothetically picked, but I’m really not super confident in her dynamics with any of them in the game and wouldn’t want to risk a pairing that wouldn’t make sense for this question. When it comes to finding crossover partners, I’ll usually either go off vibes or just a character the Subscriber posting the Ask likes, but I don’t really know this Subscriber’s tastes super well, nor do I know much about Futaba’s vibe beyond her being a shut-in and good with computers. I did end up with this idea of a more outgoing character helping Futaba get out more, like a positive influence on her, and I ended up going with Makoto as she just kinda felt right to me.
I haven’t done an Ask for this Subscriber in a minute, I think, and I had an idea for how they might like to see this one answered. Killua’s not only a perfect fit for someone who could catch Tokiyuki, I think. As for his answer here, I’ll leave it ambiguous as to whether he’s actually worse at evading now that he’s in the Studio, or his pursuers are just more skilled, or he’s just not as motivated to escape in this situation.

Obviously being a doting mother has different connotations in the Studio than it would in the real world, or the world Rio and Miles come from. Rio’s taken notes from other Studio moms like Chi-Chi, Bulma, etc., though, and is showing off what she’s learned here in this Ask. I was a little careless in my planning and ended up posting back-to-back Spider-Verse content, but I hope y’all can forgive me.
