Any KIPO fans out there??

[themicahverse]

lil reminder that unless someone finds out how hes able to die or unless he got an accidental cure, dave is going to outlive everyone and will have to grieve everyone he loves

if we pay attention to the backstory they gave us in S3E7 he didnt exactly have a strong or close relationship with any of the other daves when they died, but now that he actually has best friends and has a family, their deaths would hurt a lot more.

during S3E8, after ben asked troy to prahm and after ben and troy kissed, dave started tearing up and said "I usually don't have these kinds of emotions, but, feels good." now, grief is an unavoidable emotion that everyone experiences. but because he never had a genuine friendship with the other daves he might have never felt grief before

so if he does end up outliving everyone because of his immortality, thats gonna hurt like hell, and hes gonna have trouble dealing with that grief because hes not used to feeling it and he will eventually have nobody to help him cope with it.

even though dave was not close with hugo at all, he still was crying when hugo died. so now imagine what might happen when, say, benson dies

he jokes around a lot, yes, however those jokes and his comedic personality would only be a temporary way for him to distract himself from their deaths until it isnt enough anymore with such a strong emotion, especially an emotion hes never dealt with before

although he definitely couldve met others before he met ben, i feel like he definitely wouldve mentioned it if the relationship actually had any meaning to him, and he might have displayed more emotions in some circumstances where he remembers them if he DID have a meaningful bond with someone before ben

bet you didnt know dave could have angst because hes most commonly seen as the "comedic relief" character but there you go

(dave hate will NOT be tolerated near me)

ANYWAYS we love dave they could never make me hate you dave :3

Insectbear/waterinsect I have a good justification for this ship and a good justification for why I forget about Tumblr (By the way, they are somewhat old drawings)

Kipo is up next for my obsession with using this headcannon generator

[jurkin-off2ur-mom]

Kipo: Well, needless to say. Uh-oh Spaghetti-os.

—————————

Jamack: I have yet to encounter a problem where a sword didn't factor into the solution at least in some way.

—————————

Yumyan: If you get bitten by a shark, bite it back. You'll still probably die but the shark will be like "lol what"

—————————

Dave: My ultimate goal is to punch God in the eye, just to spite him one last time.

—————————

Kipo: I’m sick and tired of being called 'mortal' like, you don’t know that. Neither do I. I have never died even ONCE. Nothing has been proven yet. Stop making assumptions. It’s rude.

—————————

Leo: I don’t even use tubberware anymore. 
Song: What are you saying? Say it again. 
Leo: Tubberware. 
Song: Say it again. Slow. 
Leo: Tubberware. 
Song: Slow, very slow - actually, say the first syllable. 
Leo: Tub. 
Song: Wrong. 
Leo: What do you mean, wrong? 
Song: I thought I caught that. You’re saying tub. It’s P. 
Leo: What are you talking about? 
Song: Tupperware. Tupper. 
Leo: It’s tupper! 
Song: It’s tupper, always has been, always will be. 
Leo: I thought it was tubberware because it kind of looks like a tub.

—————————

Leo: honk. 
Song: WHAT. 
Leo: HONK. 
Song: WHAT DOES HONK MEAN THIS TIME YOU WHIMSICAL PIECE OF SHIT?????

—————————

Song: I'm like Heinz Doofenshmirtz because I, too, like being petty, signing off-key, and over-sharing my deepest traumas for no discernible reason. 
Leo: Not to mention that you think of yourself as eveil but are, at best, a minor inconvenience.

—————————

Dave, seeing a bee on Benson’s arm: Uh oh... 
Dave, rolling up a newspaper: Benson, stay still... 
Dave, Using the newspaper as a megaphone: THERES A FUCKING BEE ON YOU

—————————

Dave: No, I don't want to talk about physics! I don't know anything about the laws of physics because they are hard and boring. I simply would like them to behave in a way that is most convenient to ME and MY LIFE! Is that really asking too much? 
Kipo: Yes, as a matter of fact, it is! 
Dave: Well, guess what? Science is stupid bullshit!! 
Kipo: You take that back!!! 
Dave: No. Magic is awesome. Science blows. The end.

—————————

Scarlemagne: My goal is not to be the best, but to inspire someone enough to one day surpass me. 
Leo: YOU CAN'T JUST SAY THAT EVERY TIME YOU BEAT ME AT CONNECT FOUR!

—————————

Kipo: Why do you think I don’t like you? I do. I would kill for you. 
Kipo: Ask me to kill for you. *turns mega*
Scarlemagne: ...First of all, calm down-

—————————

Scarlemagne: Don't go to the kitchen. 
Leo: Why? 
Scarlemagne: I saw a spider. 
Leo: Well, did you kill it? 
Scarlemagne: It has 8 arms and I only have 2, it's not fair...

—————————

Dave: Help! I’m drowning! 
Benson: Calm down. We’re only in six feet of water! 
Dave: NOT ALL OF US ARE TALL!

—————————

Scarlemagne: Looked up my symptoms on WebMD and it turns out I have an ancient ancestral curse that has been passed down my bloodline for generations. 
Kipo: ...? 
Scarlemagne: Okay, fine. It was a hereditary mental illness. I just wanted to sound cool so I made something up. Are you mad at me?

—————————

Kipo: I am going to need you to swear- 
wolf: Fuck. 
Kipo: 
kipo: ...swear as in promise.

—————————

Scarlemagne: Am I going to far? 
Leo: No, no, no. You went too far about 7 hours ago. Now you’re going to prison.

—————————

Wolf: Tony Hawks moving castle. 
Wolf: I can't remember the name of it, fuck. 
Kipo: Howl? 
Wolf: aaaauuuuuuuooooo??? 
Kipo: ...
Wolf: Oh.

—————————

Kipo: What do you call quantums of electromagnetic radiation that don’t get along? 
Wolf: What did you just say- 
Kipo: Foetons! *Laughs* 
Wolf: Wh-what?

—————————

Benson: What are y’all’s favorite things to wake up to?

Kipo: Breakfast in bed!

Dave: Emails from AO3!

Wolf: My favorite thing to wake up to is not waking up at all.

Wolf: The screams of my enemies are a close second though.

I adore Kipo and her friends💕💜🌠🌌⭐️🌟

Gen Art Febuari: Movie Night - Kipo & her friends 🌟💜

They’re watching a scary movie together (in my mind, Kipo has seen this one like a hundred times already, Wolf has not seen a movie before in her life and Dave and Benson are really bad with horror 💗)

Recently finished doing a rewatch of one of my favorite series of all time, Kipo and The Age of Wonderbeasts. Felt the urge to draw some fanart from the ending epilogue. 💜 This show and story is an absolute masterpiece from beginning to end. The characters, writing, backgrounds, music, story, designs…. everything about it is 10/10 chefs kiss! 🥰🔥 I love these five friends so much.

[random-incorrect-things]

Scarlemange: You have friends and I envy that.

Kipo: You're welcome to share my friends.

Scarlemange: *looks at Wolf, Benson and Dave*

Scarlemange: I don't want those.

KIPO ARTS

underrated artist…… yep thats me 😢

[kipobipo]

I would like to take a moment to discuss Benson and his trauma for a moment

The first and most obvious is the fact that he lost his original family (wether that was bio parents, siblings, or just members of his group who were raising him is unclear) and was left to fend for himself on the surface as a young child. Now this is not a new situation for the characters in kataow. The whole show literally revolves around Kipo ending up along on their surface and separated from her family. Additionally Wolf and Hugo both also experience being separated from family and made to fend for themselves on the surface. However out of all these characters Benson seems to receive the least sympathy and concern from the rest of the team.

Of course one key difference in his backstory that separates him from characters like Wolf and Hugo is that unlike them he made an ally and friend pretty early into his time alone. He couldn’t have been more than 10 when he met dave which is pretty young to be in your own especially is you are (as I assume benson was) used to having an adult around to care for you. While dave was able to in some capacity take care of benson like a parental figure (as old dave, buff dave, and dave dave) he is also regularly not able to do that (as teen dave, toddler dave, and baby dave). This would have essentially made Benson, a very young child who until recent did have an adult to watch him, be forced into the role of a part time parent. I know dave isn’t exactly the same as a human baby but as we see in the show he would still have cried (potentially altering dangerous mutes to their location) needed to be fed, wandered off the way a toddler does and most importantly be rendered unable to protect or care for child Benson. Half of the time Benson would have been a child alone on the surface having to survive while also raising and taking care of the equivalent to a baby/small child. Even at age 16 we see him acting as the main caretaker of Dave in his younger forms.

I’m fact benson does a lot of being a caretaker throughout the show. He shows kipo ratland to cheer her up, he keeps her secret about being part mute, he runs after Wolf when she gets upset about kipo being part mute. When kipo transforms into the mega jaguar for the forest time and accidentally dislocates his shoulder he plays off his pain and injury as not a big deal so she won’t feel bad or guilty about it. When his backpack gets knocked into the gold along with kipo’s anchor he starts crying and later when kipo transformed and gets stuck he blames himself for the situation never once taking the time to mourn the loss of his personal items that were also lost.

So we have a young boy who has been placed in a caretaking role from a very young age in dangerous and hostile world. One where he has to avoid being eaten, starving to death, freezing to death, dehydration, and being kidnapped and sold to scarelemage all while being a part time parent from the ages of 10-16. AND THEN to top it all off Kipo (and the fandom) doesn’t ever seem to fully include him in the found family. Kipo calls wolf her sister within the first day of knowing her but never refers to benson as family I’m that way. When song gets transformed back kipo calls wolf to join in the family group hug but not benson. This kid takes care of everyone around him but is rarely shown that same care and it just makes me so sad. He may be the oldest in the group but he’s still just a teenager.

[jurkin-off2ur-mom]

Kipo: You’re just being paranoid. Again.

Wolf: When have I been paranoid?

Kipo: Um, when you first met Benson you thought they were an undercover cop…?

Wolf: No one has a wart that big, I thought it was a surveillance camera!

Kipo: And last year you were sure Dave was a mermaid!

Wolf: They hate wearing shirts! COINCIDENCE?!

*Later, when Wolf’s theory is proven wrong*

Kipo: Do you have anything to say for yourself?

Wolf: I still think Dave is a mermaid.
