Firefly - Blog Posts
Characters of all types and Paths at the moment ( excluding the main character) ( this post will be updated periodically as new information and characters become available)
Two cutie girls inside cool robots
half way though making the video I stopped using show footage because other videos on youtube were getting copyright so made these for the rest of the video with my little to no animation knowledge
*inhales* EEEEEEEEEEP!!! I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! The mash-up I didn't even know I NEEDED!
just imagining an AU where the Bad Batch meet the Serenity crew
The Crew
Jayne and Crosshair shooting contest
Jayne and Wrecker. (That's it.)
Jayne and Hunter and knives
Jayne teaching Echo Cantonese swears
Mal teaching Omega cantonese swears
Mal and Hunter staredown when they realize they're both Sargeants. Hunter slightly confused when the Crew call Mal "Captain".
Wash and Tech trading crazy flying stories
Wash:I'm a leaf on the wind Tech:What does that even mean?
Wash teaching Omega more about "flying is about a feeling" (Leaf on the Wind)
Wash responding to Crosshair's snark with the cheekiest sarcasm
Wash asking Zoe which Sarge they're gonna listen to
Zoe, annoyed by the Sargeants, and seeing how well The Crew (except Jayne) get along with him, decides Tech is in charge because "it's his ship, Sir... Sirs"
Zoe teaching Omega the 1st Rule of Battle
Zoe and Crosshair holding direct, unreadable eye-contact, arms crossed, for about 3 seconds before slightly nodding to each other. They never say a word to each other, but there is just pure understanding and respect between them. Neither the Crew or the Batch really get it.
Zoe asking if they can trade Jayne for Wrecker
Simon being overwhelmed at the idea of bacta and medical droids, staight up fainting when he finds out Echo was literally blown up, and is now half droid
Kaylee repairing the ship with Echo while Simon is passed out
Kaylee making improvements to the ship that Tech was too Tech-y to think of
Kaylee helping Omega paint her room
Kaylee being unbearably cheerful with Crosshair (she paints a tiny flower on one of his reflector discs he sticks it to the lid inside his wepons kit because it reminds him of his nickname for you)
River playing hide and seek with Kaylee, Omega, and Wrecker. They resort to asking Hunter to track her down, and she's almost too good even for his senses
River balled up in the copilot seat just absorbing every single thing Tech says, occasionally interjecting with her own theories/calculations/corrections
River, to Echo: He's proud of you. ("Who?") Your twin. The others are too. You lived to fight another day.
i had more ideas but i made myself cry with that last one. will probably add to this over time and do a list from the side of The Batch

I HC that the E6 for HSR characters is what they are at their core. So the only reason characters like Boothill, Dan Heng IL, Acheron, Welt Yang, trailblazer, and firefly look different in their E6.
Boothill is a human in his E6, Dan Heng IL is a child (start of the rebirth cycle), Acheron’s hair is white, welt is a child, Trailblazer has their Stellaron glowing, and firefly’s body is fading.
It’s their cores. It’s them as a whole.
Pixel Art animation !
It was the first time for me making pixel art ! I'm myself surprised of how good it turned out for a first try.
I had to do this for an entrance exam for an art school, and it took me almost 3 weeks from start to finish. Full time, between 3 hours, but mostly 6 or 7 hours per day, 7 days per week (while having classes).
I actually used blender to make the camera move. I animated a really simple scene, with balls to represent the firefly and the frog and only marks on the ground for the background. I rendered my 3D animation, and then used the images as a reference to draw in 2D. Wich mean... 60 frames, traced and colored by hand. Whelp, my poor wrist suffered...
I also had to include 15 color max (well, the color of the signature doesn't count). It really sets a pretty atmosphere !
(The school accepted me, by the way)
Me when Firefly is coming next update (2.2 just came out a few days ago
(from left to right) Plexippus, Dipsy, and Firefly wish Onyx a happy birthday! @pink-onyx-au
Ships That I Like:
FireMoth(Firefly and Killermoth) That's the right name anyway I like KillerFly better for some reason. There the bug bros and thier always working together it just perfect and you'll never convince me otherwise.
Quiddler(Riddler and Harley Quinn) Basically its Harley's hurt and Eddie's lonely so you know what boom. They can relate on a deeper level both being victims of abuse. Eddy has a problem of falling in love with the mystery and not the person and once he solves them poof but the thing is he can't solve Harley, she's unsolvable she isn't a creature of habit, she is chaos and everything that goes with it. Ed whether a developer or Robotics expert he can build her toys (actule toys or stuff like jet packs and weapons realy what ever she wants) or make her video games so that's a win for Harley. Eddie's just crazy enough to peak her interest and he seems nice enough in most media at least. Harley annoys Eddie sometimes and as we all know annoyed Eddie is hilarious Eddie. Harley also gets Eddie out of his comfort zone which is good for him. Ed teaches Harley things and she teaches him things (not that he'll admit it).
Scriddler(Scarecrow and Riddler) This needs no explanation
RiddleCat(Riddler and Catwomen)
BatCat(Batman and Catwomen) It's a classic
Jarley(Joker and Harley) The Harley Quinn fandoms gonna have my head for this I can feel it. like the previous it's classic
These are the ships I can remember off the top of my head that I love and like my other list this is subject to change
Felt like Quiddler needed the most explanation over all
it actually makes me so sad there are some people who havent seen fireflies irl like. come with me. let me show you. lets go out in the yard at 8 in the evening and catch fireflies together
Look'it! Look'it! It's so pretty! The hair! The background! The kimono! You're the best, Hun!!
A jarful of fireflies
BUGS BUGS BUGS! But the good kind.
Alrighty, let’s go through all the mobs and their features! Left to right, top to bottom, image one through image two. Since this’ll take FOREVER, use the read more! Look forward to a part two focusing on even more bugs!
SNAIL
Snails spawn in forests and swamps. Snails leave a harvestable trail of slime that can be affected by their food- make it bouncy (by feeding them blueberries), fast (raspberries) or honeyed (honey bottle). Snails come in various shades of browns, grays, greens and ruddy berry colors.
GIANT WATER BUG
Spawning in the beaches (any body of water, really), water bugs are defensive and will attack if you get close. When tamed by obtaining their eggs, water bugs make for good guard dogs- they can be commanded to stay, follow, wander, and by shift-clicking- set to neutral, passive or aggressive. GWBs come in shades of browns and blacks.
SLUG
Slugs spawn in jungles, and leave behind trails that can be used to make redstone components with upgraded signal strength. They come in shades influenced by real-life slugs- pictured is the rare banana slug.
MEALYBUG
Ah, mealybugs, the bane of any farmer. Spawning on crops, mealies eat and suck at crops until they’re sated. However, if you’ve befriended any ants, these bugs become a source of hearty honeydew, which when bottled makes for an incredible food source. Mealybugs only have one color- a dusty, pale white.
FLY
Flies spawn around carrion blocks, buzzing around and being general nuisances. Flies can be tamed by feeding them rotten flesh, and can swarm around attackers on command, descending down from the heavens to make enemies’ lives living hell. Keep an eye out for the rare tsetse and horse flies, larger and more dangerous breeds. Flies have two variants- brown and dark grey.
LIGHTNING BUG / FIREFLY
During the nighttime, look out for fireflies in the distance (since they only spawn during the night). Fireflies can be bottled and tamed with fruits, and can be placed down for a light show. Non-entity fireflies spawn around Naturality’s frog species and certain grasses, if you want the two-pixel variation. Fireflies can be dyed both as entities and as bottles, and dyeing them colors their lights. Fireflies come in a few different variants, all based on real-life species.
COCKROACH
Cockroaches spawn in Naturality’s new caves (the limestone cave and the sunken jungle) as well as in the new beach grottos. Cockroaches can be used as clean-up-crews, consuming detritus and fertilizing farms as they make their way around. Smaller cockroaches have a tendency to swarm players just like flies, and all cockroaches can be tamed. Cockroaches come in a horde of variants based on real roaches, like B. giganteus (giant cave), B. dubia, M. longipennis and B. germanica (German).
MAGGOT
Maggots are the larvae of flies, found in carcasses. They can be itemized and used to tame other creatures, if you’re a monster.
DRAGONFLY
Dragonflies spawn around bodies of water, attacking other insects to eat their fill. They can be tamed and their wings used to upgrade elytras. Dragonflies also can be used as the poor man’s elytra- allowing you to hover and slow-fall. Dragonflies come in some green and blue colors, and one iridescent one.
APHID
Another crop-destroyer, make a farm and the aphids will come. Unlike mealies, they can’t be harvested, only itemized or used in fiber and wood farms after being tamed with offerings of plants. Aphids have one variant- green.
ISOPOD
Isopods spawn in forests, and are used to culture molds and other fungi. They’re basically crustacean puppies. Also see my prior isopost for more colors. Pictured is the rubber duckie variant- the true amount of isos is a secret :)
BUTTERFLY
Butterflies spawn nearly everywhere during the day, and during the night are replaced with moths. Butterflies are basically bees, only instead of honey, they’re used to obtain nectar, which functions as natural potions that give different effects depending on what flowers they come from. Moths, on the other hand, work as glares- they dislike darkness and will point it out if given some nectar as a treat. Butterflies come in a horde of variants.
LADYBEETLE / LADYBUG
Ladybugs and other beetles of their ilk spawn in the plains, and are useful for their shells- which can be made into tough armors. Ladybugs suck at crops, and if tamed will trawl through your fields, picking only the good bits out.
GIANT ISOPOD
Giant isos spawn in the deep seas, and make a living cultivating mosses in the depths. Perhaps you could gain their trust and use them for your own good? The ways of these depth-dwellers are a mystery. They come in three variants- light, dark and pink.
