Conceptual Premise: Finn locks eyes with a hermits corpse, and the hermits cursed eyes transfer to him. Anyone Finn looks at while he has these eyes turns into a physical representation of how Finn sees them. (yes this is an episode)

This can be as simple as "sees Jake as a human Big Brother"/ "sees his grown woman friend/former crush as a boy his own age" or as metaphorical as the original hermit turning people into rats and trash.

It's a fun little challenge and I love everyone in this game, so I wanna turn y'all into weird shit

What would he do to Dimitri? The king he hasn’t met lol

trevenant: god, I wish the network had icons, because if it did he would straight up then Dimitiri into his network icon.

So I guess in lieu of that, he would probably turn him into a MO-style computer (the only kind Finn understands) displaying nothing except Dimitri's username LMAO

SORRY ABOUT YOUR SENTIENCE, BRO

/places Chuuta in front of the dead hermit eyes

when you wake... a wizard and/or a wizard's cloak...

sister friend who tosses you into walls on accident and may or may not think of violence as a first response

into this, please tell me

horrible demon man

Mountain man, plz

derkins: Coming in hot with this one. Iris absolutely becomes a girl, sorry

Like, looks literally exactly the same, but somehow Girl. He has even thicker lashes now and some boob action aka something minor yet Significant (to Finn)

hydok: God, I think this really depends on how hungry Finn is at the time. If he's not hungry, some sort of version of himself but with a cheesy space cop uniform on? If he is hungry... a fridge. Sorry about your sentience, bro x 2

im laughing

chuuta just being a fridge is sending me

miscreates: For Stephen himself, Finn gets tripped up most by his "doctor" title. Dr. Strange is suddenly just, literally a doctor (kind of a cartoon version, with one of those big mirrored circles on his head, and a labcoat, and a stethoscope, and a bunch of pens, and a clipboard with 'Medical Stuff' written on it 100pt Comic Sans). But like,

he's still got a big goofy magician hat on

That probably is constantly shooting out rabbits when he takes it off

The cloak just becomes an old boombox that only plays one song

metalheads: Steve just stays exactly the same, except he's blonde haired + blue eyed + clearly supposed to be Finn's bio bro.

oh no, my heart

he misses you, man

omfg

WAAHH

do Ryu too, curious to know if hes still a sickly victorian orphan

whimsea: Ciri becomes a LOT younger, like. She's suddenly twelve years old, but a feral twelve years old. The kind of twelve year old who is climbing the walls and frothing at the mouth and eager to destroy stuff, but also super adorable. So, Finn at 12, basically

cerebrah: Kazuma becomes just, every single cringey idealistic thing Finn's ever thought about him. He's buffer, he's taller, he's cartoonishly handsome, he's got a long red scarf (for drama) and his outfit is more ornate, and he's wielding Karuma. He looks like a badass hero, basically.

mollymauktealeaf: Honestly, weirdly, Dante becomes a color-swapped version of Jun Shortaxe. i.e. what Finn imagines Jun Shortaxe's brother (I am forgetting his name now) might look like. Like, think of a Dante-themed recolor.

fairandbright: Joric just becomes Billy.

this is billy; i.e. he becomes EVEN BIGGER, and looks basically exactly like this

I was going to say Finn imagines him as the younger version, but he sees Joric as his friend above all else, and Finn only ever knew the old version of Billy in real life. So that's who he pictures.

wheezes Dante has honestly been seen as much worse than that he wouldn't mind that much

it's Dweyre I think

orrrrr no that was Degar's brother

Awkwardpossum: you stole my answer, but absolutely he sees Ryu as like. a waify little damsel. Very much the bodice ripper-y protagonist in the arms of Kazuma's fabio

SCREAMS

mollymauktealeaf: YOU'RE RIGHT, jun didn't have a brother. well still, that's how he sees him! Just because of the story he told him a few times, about how his brother was a lot like Jun

wonderful/terrible thank u

No problem LMAO

Billy has got the Look(tm) and I love him

Finn has a fondness for weird taciturn mountain men okay

yeah it's the most that Dante has told......anyone on the ship about Vergil wheeze, he is usually VERY secretive about him

*the station

it stuck with this kid, man

the funny thing is Dante still kinda hopes Jun will actually reform, unlike Vergil, who's. currently. uh. destroyed a city by his canon point whoops

Finn also hopes that

lmfaoooo oh finn

I’m glad he does. taciturn mountain man needs friends

he shouldn't be allowed to live

specifically in response to derkins LMAO

Tactiturn mountain men should absolutely be allowed to live

Lol no no you’re right

End this man with your weird revelations on swords

LMAOOO, done and done

derkins: for some more poetry, beyond Finn just being a cringey boy in need of a psychiatrist, Iris will probably also just be creating flowers everywhere he goes. Finn still doesn't understand his power super well and just always thinks of flowers when he looks at him

oh thats super cute tho

iris turning into some kinda disney princess

CONFUSING AND ALARMING

here finn, to help your vision

Anti-helpful

I am extremely intrigued

LMFAO OH NO... that's so cute I love this

Sani_Caranza: I could go like three different ways with this one gosh. Definitely strongly depends on their interaction directly prior to the hermit eyeing

I think in most contexts, Wei Wuxian is suddenly blonde but also just. Gets an outfit suddenly that anchors to whatever member of a family he's presently reminding Finn of most. Joshua hat for dadcore, Margerat hat and earrings for momcore, letterman's jacket for brothercore.

But probably mostly just Blonde WWX LMAO

starfaring: the way I feel like Finn probably imagined him as a terrifying creature for a while, and maybe still would picture him as that monster but like. Tame?

Went from picturing Itachi as a snarling tiger to a still-huge and lethal tiger, but who has the behavior and mannerisms (and meow) of a housecat

etceteras: Yelena turns into a clone of Natasha, but blonde and even shorter. I'm so sorry, Yelena. You have an identity outside your sister, but Finn is stupid.

Oh my god

Chishiya turns into a literal cat, because Jake still refers to him as one to Finn when they're alone LMAO

Never thought blonde wei wuxian could be so wholesome 😭

Me

Sani_Caranza: honestly, I could give you thirty answers, that one just seems the most all encompassing. If it was their current thread, he'd turn WWX into an extremely itchy sweater

Comforting but annoying and something he's too grown up for

oh my god i love all this

im not sure gina and finn have interacted enough for this but

gaignun: pictures Yzak as just, a brick wall LMAO

A one armed man made of bricks

So buttoned up and straight edge!

Maybe a sharply pressed military uniform with one short sleeve

starfaring: sometimes, a family includes a huge tiger that could maul your face off but instead makes you lunch and kisses you before school

he's a brick

house

ormery: Ciri told Finn that Gina is a thief, so she'd probably just be. Gina, but in a cartoonish cat burgler outfit

Little domino mask, striped shirt, black pants, bag with dollar sign, black beanie

good look for her honestly

crying this is so good thank you for your service

TIGER ITACHI...

Gina is perf

I'm so glad she's a feral little gremlin younger him in his eyes, that's beautifully hilarious (and she's not improving aspects of that when she's losing her chill)

Honestly I bet that's mostly just for Finn's own ego, he wants to be Big

He wants someone else to be the baby okay

He just turns Chishiya into what he should have been all along

hey at least she is age babiest, he's not wrong there — her birthday is her in May so they're all skipping past that with mission

etceteras: I'm sorry, Yelena

SaroSaron:

LMAO AN ITCHY SWEATER

That's so fitting though

Lmao that’s so cute

comes back now that I'm more awake to say I'm screaming at kazuma and ryu being bodice ripper novel protagonists

I love finn's brain.

it's bad in there

Ryunosuke is taking full offense.

sarahthesilent: sabriel is, to finn, just pure wizard. she is so associated with magic for him. Which, I think, means he will picture her as a wizard from his world? Usually that means physical characteristics reflect their magic school

so i honestly feel like he'd picture her looking like a dead person, but like, not in a scary horror way. in a cool badass way.

also here's Chuuta's actual space cop uniform (eventually the art settles on it being purple but it's blue in early chapters)

omg. he really is a space cop

i am gonna come back for the rest of you, just making a plotting plurk but i have THOUGHTS
