#Like i had already understood that high roller's GENERAL CHAOS was all buck but i hadn't realized just how direct and unchanged it was

my favorite thing about the duck shuffler plush trailer is the implication that all the next-level reality-bending associated with the high roller comes from buck. it's not special, and it's not something unique to the high roller; buck can just Do That. he can restore color to a monochrome world at the clench of his fist, nbd. the high roller's ability to levitate and be literally invincible, normal tuesday for buck. being that he seems to have some kind of direct control over light (the restoring color part of the trailer), he can probably do the silhouettes thing like it's a lame party trick, and he simply never gets a lucky enough thpin to make it happen in a fight against toons on the streets of TTC. it makes total sense now that i think about it considering how Wager Management is itself straight up reality-bending in a different way from the other managers' (since many of their cheats bend reality in some way). altering toons' dna instantaneously to literally species-swap them into ducks, summoning giant bars, etc. just imagine him accidentally using Wager Management as his lever gets caught on a doorframe (equivalent to stubbing your pinky toe), and before the outcome settles, he's gotta prepare for either summoning jellybeans all over his office or, idk, fusing with the nearest cog and literally, irreversibly breaking the fabric of the spacetime continuum. casually. in a casual way. like, he does it all the time, by accident. insane.
