A neat thing I noticed on my recent play through is that in his floatsam vale fight some of his dialog lines are with the gunked font. This implies that he is holding back being gunked which we only see others do when they feel they have something to really live for. A truly fragile state where something going wrong drives you to madness. Adds a neat dynamic that he both is suffering so bad to feel the world is worthless, but so dutiful that it’s worth living though it anyway. Really makes you wonder if it was just the knowledge that he was useful to Roland keeping him going or if he had dreams and ambition he was working to see.

Noticed Something About Inkerton...

So, I know it’s most likely a design choice so he doesn’t look so cluttered with all them keys and arms, but Inkerton only has two tentacles and four arms. Don’t squids usually have eight arms?

And Roland the Isopod said he rescued Inkerton from the seabed?

This makes me think Inkerton was in a bit of a pickle, like being killed/eaten, or seeking shelter from escaping said situation? Or maybe he lost his will to live?

For how much of a badass Inkerton is, and how much he bottled up his resentment for Roland, his lack of purpose and his boss making him into what he is today really stuck with him. Then, after Inkerton’s betrayal to Roland, and defeat from a small hermit crab, he just accepts he doesn’t have any point to living anymore.

Lost to a warrior lobster, killed his abusive boss (therefore losing his job), then lost to a small crab at the “Bottom of the Drain” (illustrating he was at his lowest) really must have done a lot of damage to his pride and will.

Inkerton must have already been miserable and thought he wasn’t worth much more than someone to just use if two defeats to two crustaceans, and him shooting his boss point blank after one too many insults thrown his way (Roland literally called him ‘good-for-nothing’), made him lose his will to live that fast. Not to mention he recognizes he has sinned and will be going to Hell.

Funny how just a bunch of small details can somewhat flesh out a minor character.

Anyway, I have a crush on a shucking squid, that’s a new thing I didn’t know I had.

Worth noting that he quotes Dairy king to Val when he tries to show her this too

You have no idea how important the Dairy King was to Danny. Here he was thinking that all ghost are evil because Vlad is holding a grudge and all the ghost he ever faced was after their own selfish deeds. It would have spiraled to Danny thinking that he will become evil in the future just because all the ghost he met were evil. When he saw the Dairy King for the first time, Danny assumed that he was going to do something evil but, nope, Dairy King set him free because “not all ghost are evil, right?”

GIVE THE DAIRY KING HIS DUE HE SAVED DANNY FROM QUESTIONING HIS GHOSTHOOD.

LOOK AT HIS FACE AFTER THE DIARY KING LEFT

HE DID GOOD.

Sure I’ll try. The conditions you listed in the tags are fair enough (and I do like both ships anyway).

I will say that a lot of what I have to say will be from the light novels as just about every character other than yumiella and Alicia lost a lot of characterization in the manga and anime. I’ll try to keep the points and moments in chronological order for convenience .

The first moment when I felt like the ship had legs was in the Patrick intermission chapter, when we saw him grinding his level and reminiscing about his thoughts on yumiella. He takes the time and really puts in the effort to understand her. Catching himself when he thinks about her in anyway other than the reality that he has experienced. Neither idealized or villainized.  To me that is one of the first and simplistic foundations of love. It’s also the scene I think about when people call him boring. Yeah he doesn’t have any major character quirks, but he takes the time to try and understand the world and people around him. He isn’t calm because he is just chill like that, he stays calm because he wants to be dependable.

This dependable nature also comes to show that he puts in effort not just to improve himself but to actively make up for yumiella which we first see when he convinces the edwin that she is just a regular (if very strange) girl. This more or less becomes his default job to help her, and it very noticeably makes her feel less lonely to not be hated or feared for reasons she can’t really understand. Also worth noting that it’s also the only reason yumiella survives Alicia’s back stabbing event (not talking about the protection amulet since that’s just anything a concerned significant other would ask of her in that verse). His efforts were the only reason she didn’t die alone and betrayed.

Then after the demon lord fight he comforts her by telling her that he has complete faith him her to make the best choices she can when it matters. That even if she made a mistake or just plainly made the wrong choice, he will still be there, still loving her. It from bother their perspectives means so much. Yumiella because she thought she would never even gain so much as a friend, and Patrick because we know it’s not blind love (as mentioned before).

That’s the main moments from the first book, and I’ll admit it’s very sparse. The first book was defiantly more about setting up yumiella’s character than anything else in the world.

I’m the second novel we are not much better in terms of quantity, but we see even more clearly that their love isn’t just a passing phase or puppy love, that both sides are working hard to make each other happy. Both of them are facing difficulties fitting together in a more permanent setting. Patric because of self doubt and anxiety on whether he is just projecting his own feelings on her, and yumiella because of how weak to embossment she is making it near impossible to express her feelings towards him. Neither of them gives up even when they both can tell it’s not going perfectly. It might be a bit of projection on my end but the idea of someone putting in that kinda effort, not just when it’s fun or convenient is what you want most after you feel unlovable or absolutely alone for years of your life. This effort even gets to manifest in the climax in the form of Patrick covering her biggest weakness so this time everyone gets to live through the end of the book. He is strong where she is weak and weak where she is strong, when together their strength is greater than its sum.

It’s late here so I’ll leave it there. Sorry for any typing inconstancy, on Mobil and it’s hard to proof read.

i genuinely wonder if someone could EVER successfully sell me on patrieumi

I remember in high school my geography teacher said humans will choose to live in unbeatable heat over unbearable cold, but nearly every single person I've met in my life has said they'd rather die in the cold than live in the heat, so now I thought to myself why not outsource this question!

no fahrenheit because if i have to google the answers on polls with no celcius, so do you

Isn’t it common for both Bi and Pan people to be called imposters in the legit community if they are in a hereto relationship? Unless I saw the drama over represented when I first joined lgbt spaces, it’s most likely just people feeling like your attacking their identities and responding accordingly. I could go into semantics as well (something that’s really fun for me), but I worry that it come across as pedantic at best.

Why are Huntlow fans so against calling them a straight couple😭😭 like even if Hunter or Willow isn’t straight (like Bi or Pan) it’s still a straight relationship?? Like guys it’s ok to say their relationship isn’t gay, you’re not gonna get come down with something 💀

Blob ghost wade best wade

This has been bothering me for a couple days, now, but is Deadpool's name Wade because he's Deadpool, or is that just some kind of coincidence?
