Hey guys!! I've opened a GoFundMe for my friend Samuel's breast reduction. Despite Spain's public health system, the wait-list for getting this kind of procedure can go between 4 o 5 years, and that's A LOT. Samuel's family and friends cannot stand watching him suffer because of this anymore, so we want to give him the opportunity to pay for it. The price for a private breast reduction varies from €3000 to €7000, so we need help!!!! Even if you can only donate a little bit, it would be awesome.

And since we want the maximum of donations possible, I'm offering some rewards!!! If you donate and send me a screenshot of the donation, I'll make a drawing for you of anything you want. It can be The Magnus Archives, Cinderella Boy, Gravity Falls, In Stars And Time, Deltarune/Undertale... Anything!!!! The amount of work I put into the drawing will be equivalent to the amount you pay, of course.

If you can't donate, please reblog and share. We want to make Samuel as happy as he makes us. He deserves this and more.

Thank you!!!

A Rant on How S1 Buddy Acts Like Violet: And How It Is Reflected In The Color of Buddy's Outfits

This is a long post, but I'm very excited about it! Spoilers for up until episode 3 of season 2, which should have been released earlier tonight if I can finish this in time.

In wake of Episode 3, I've been thinking about how much of Buddy as Chase knows him is obviously a direct product of how Buddy sees Violet. Through his behavior it is very clear he internalizes and tries to embody many of her traits, and I think in a way, a lot of the Buddy we've seen so far has actually been a little-brother's impersonation of Violet.

Which is just weird to think about. It's weird to think about how little we know Buddy. The guy has been masking hard; now that we've seen him with Violet, when he isn't repeating back the lines he's being fed (as a key in a story) or acting like the Big Scary Villain, he seems much more gentle, and... more awkward. Still Buddy, but we as the readers should* also acknowledge, the Buddy we are used to in books is in part a very curated personality, and surely has not been entirely genuine.

*I had trouble wording that, I don't think there's one right way to observe a piece of media, but hopefully you get what I mean.

He's such a neurodivergent allegory to me, sigh. But that's a dissection for a different day. Lmk if you want me to yap about that lol

I think a lot of Buddy's forged display personality comes from Violet. I think he looks up to her (even if we've mostly seen him pouting and being conflicted around her, and them foiling each other), and I imagine she's a sort of guide to him. I think many of her ideals and behaviors have rubbed off on him, to the point where a lot of the Buddy we got to know in Season One was actually how Buddy saw Violet---or the value he saw in how she acted.

Here's some more direct parallels between how they act:

As well as some values that Nox seems to hold:

Nox is guarded and careful with his words when he is around Chase and Deacon.

Even thinking about his clothes; Buddy wears purple, and that is the color most of the fanbase associates with him. But in the Season One Q&A, when asked, Punko said his favorite color was grey---something that surprised me, and initially felt weird: 'he's purple, he's always been purple.' But he hasn't been. Buddy wears purple because that is Violet's color, not his.

I wonder even if the use of color in Buddy's outfits is intentional, to show how much he's currently taking inspiration from Violet.

...As that thought has occured to me, I need to go check something.

Arcs where Buddy is mostly PURPLE, like Violet:

Outfits where Buddy is between purple and another color:

Outfits where Buddy is mostly GREY or another color:

Okay, now admittedly many of Buddy's purples are very neutral tones, close to grey themselves. But I'm still categorizing them as purple---just noting that, and also, it's worth acknowledging that Violet is still dressing him in his colors or adding parts of himself into his fits.

Guys... this post wasn't supposed to be about the outfits at all but OH MY GOD.

Okay, many things of note with this, but first and foremost: Buddy gets less purple as time goes on.

He becomes more comfortable with Chase and Deacon, and as such, his true colors start to come through more with Time.

I would like to go arc by arc with this, actually, because I am sitting here with my JAW ON THE FLOOR chat.

Before Toffee Break: Buddy is at his most purple at the beginning of the story; it is the most saturated purple that he wears, and it's all over. If we are to equivocate purple with Buddy acting a role, and hiding himself, this makes sense; at the beginning of the story Buddy doesn't know Chase or Deacon at all, so there is no reason to, more or less, emotionally undress around them. At this point there is not that external factor of actually socializing with Chase and Deacon; Buddy and Violet have a job, and Buddy is there to do that job. Nothing more.

This isn't a color thing but it's worth saying while I'm here, I've also always thought the stripes were an interesting choice because of how they look like bars; maybe implying that Buddy feels trapped in the situation he starts the story in.

Toffee Break: The first unique outfit!! He's still VERY purple. And he isn't vulnerable in this arc; he trashes Deacon, acts all snooty, and makes it very clear that he's still here for a job. A little less saturated of a purple now that he knows Chase---we don't see that saturated purple again---but still purple.

Beach Boys: At the time of this arc, it was the most extreme we had seen Buddy. We did see him at his best, hanging out with Chase as the sun set and trying to make amends---we can see him wearing the hero-y gold and silver in his jewelry (which incidentally he takes off right before he attacks Chase with the spear, but I'm surely reading too much into it at that point)---but we also see him at his worst, as he fights to uphold that villain-y persona. As such: still quite a bit of purple.

Sick Day: He's still in purple but it isn't wearing the primary color anymore. His purple shirt (if you can call it that, LOL) even fades into grey, his color, as I have designated it for this rant. Idk if the black has symbollism but you know what lets give it symbollism anyways; perhaps the black could symbolize confliction? Buddy being unsure of who he is or what he means. After Beach Boys, Buddy and Chase's relationship is transforming, and I'm sure Buddy is largely uncertain by it.

Sick Day has a lot of confliction, then, and a lot of that murkiness between grey and purple---but Buddy helps Chase and Deacon, and is more or less tender to Chase while he is recovering. As such, he has shifted towards something more genuine; less guarded, and less of a goal-orientated mask.

All That Glitters: Don't have too much to say with this, kind of the same thing as Sick Day. He looks like he's backpedaling a little bit though, which makes complete sense for this absolute closeted loser.

Sick Day: Now this arc is interesting because Buddy has two outfits here; one of which is mostly purple and gold, and one of which incorporates Chase's red. He starts the story in red, and he seems comfortable---he's messing with Chase, acting like a little bit of the loser I believe he is inside, etcetera. He's less guarded. He takes the red off and goes full purple when he performs, which is interesting, this relationship between purple and performance, even if it's a different kind of performance. Then it's back on until he gives it to Chase later.

Also want to point out the gold, I'm sure this is something I made up but you know; we could say that Buddy wearing gold symbollizing heroism, and Buddy is hero-esque in this arc, what with the jailkeeper.

Requiem of Blood and Moonlight: AND HERE. HERE IS THE MOST MONUMENTAL SHIFT BECAUSE BUDDY IS ESSENTIALLY IN ALL GREY ONLY DOTTED WITH PURPLE. And it reflects the arc, because Buddy is extremely vulnerable in RoBaM. He loses Chase's attention to Dracifer and becomes jealous, then, later, he is vulnerable and also emotionally intimate with Chase after the coffin scene. He has lost a lot of the "rahhh I'm big and scary fear me" persona he had earlier in the story; and as such, his fit is grey.

Still Waters: Our final arc of the season, and this time, there is no purple at all. Grey and black; he is very conflicted, but he ends this arc heroically, and very close to Chase (cough).

All of this is to say... Violet's influence on Buddy is very great. And as Buddy grows more comfortable with Chase, he is going to mask less, and show his true colors more. And I am very excited to watch it happen :)

I keep thinking about @inc0mple 's theory about how Nox is some sort of fictional character that traveled from his own fictional world to the real one (go read it, they make some incredible points) and I kinda wanted to add a little bit to it. Nothing that mind-blowing ofc, just some stuff that could count as extra evidence for Nox being a character from a fictional world. They were probably already mentioned at some point but anyway, let's get to it.

For starters, let's try to see stuff from Nox's point of view. What is it that Chase does? Why is he so bothered by him?

Aside from the Narratonin stuff, in the beginning Chase walks into the books without giving a single fuck about the narrative or the story itself. He doesn't wanna be there. He doesn't pay attention to the characters and can't wait for it to be over. Nox believes he's there out of stupidity alone.

Then Chase completes the entire original story of Cinderella, a kind of disturbing tale, and manages to twist the plot in a way that's forgiving to the characters the narrative deems villainous. He learns from the whole experience and puts the well being of the characters above the bet he had with Nox.

Nox's admiration for him grows just a bit but so does his resentment. By a lot. Now he knows Chase isn't stupid or incapable of doing stuff, therefore he starts believing that the reason he doesn't do the stories properly must be because he hates books.

He believes so even after he made peace with him in the Beach Boys arc and doesn't hesitate to bring it up in Sick Day arc. And we know that stings bc look at that man's face when he asks him the question.

I thought the question felt kinda off at that point, so I believe there's something deeper behind his words here.

"Why do you hate my world so much when everything is possible there, especially if you're a heroine?" Y'know?

Then there's other parts of dialogue.

He's been human before but never sick? That alone feels a bit weird. I assume this could be because in the story he's from, there was never written that he was sick at any point.

Also Chase is urging him not to be a villain, despite what he has done in the past. If being villainous is all he's ever known, of course he's pissed off at Chase encouraging him to be better. In his eyes, Chase doesn't understand anything about how he's been living.

Another detail I like that could be considered proof (if you squint your eyes hard enough) is that Nox is, to put it simply, an attention whore. And he's mad when he's not receiving the attention he wants.

I haven't read the elephant book yet but, according to the explanation on incomple's post, the story talks about fictional characters that tried escaping to other worlds and come to life thanks to the readers' love for them.

In that context, it makes even more sense that Nox wants attention. People's attention and love for him is what keeps him real, what helped him escape to another world. What's the point of a character existing if no one pays attention to them? If no one likes them?

Anyway, I think that's all for now
