Making Sense Of Shermie's Age

Ok so you know how the whole fandom is like boggling their minds over Shermie's age?

well atleast from what I've seen lol

Let's say that when Stan gets kicked out, he's arund 17-19 (we're going with 17 for this one), and with Shermie being just a wee baby in A Tale Of Two Stans, it's a little problematic when realising his age when he had a kid

but since both the twins (Stan and Ford) are "pushing 70" that would mean they're around their mid-to-late 60's

And if we were to assume that Stan was 17 when he got kicked out, and once again assuming that the twins are 65 at their youngest, then that would make Shermie 48.

If both generations had their kids at 18, then that'd make sense with the timeline, but that's assuming that's the twins at their youngest

If it were 19 and 69, Shermie would be 50

Making either one generation have kids at 20 while one has one at 18, or both generations having kids at 19

At worst,

19 and 65, Shermie would be 46.

Which would make both generations 17 when they had kid/s

anyway thats it, thanks for reading my hopefully comprehensible ramblings about Shermie's age LMAOO

TWST Overblot Boys from a Development Perspective - Riddle Rosehearts

Currently in uni studying human development from a psychological/neurological/cognitive standpoint and lowkey I want to analyze TWST's overblot boys (and Kalim) using my super cool Education™

(Also my ask box is open so pls send me asks! My guidelines are on my page)

So let's get into it!

When we look at Riddle's character, we need to first consider the environment he has grown up in, his identity development, and neurology-- and what that means for his psychological and cognitive processes.

Part 1: His Environment

As observed during his Overblot, Riddle grew up in an authoritarian household. His Groom-for-a-Day/Suitor Suit lines also imply that his parents do not get along. Both can have extensive psychological and cognitive impacts on his development.

It would be easiest to begin with his early-to-mid childhood experiences. Mrs. Rosehearts was obviously an authoritarian mother: strict rules, very punitive, a "because I said so" attitude while putting extensive pressure on work and effort. This parenting style is heavily associated with socially incompetent behavior; children raised on this parenting style are likely to perpetuate this cycle and become perpetrators of bullying. This can pretty obviously be reflected in Riddle's behavior over the course of Book 1; he is strict, punitive, and controlling, often acting like a bully when someone violates the rules. Additionally, children from dysfunctional families may also develop poor emotional regulation skills (outbursts and withdrawing from others) along with insecure attachment styles and low self-image (perhaps evidenced by his seemingly overzealous insecurity over his own height, for instance).

But why does he mimic his mother's behavior when it made him feel so awful in the first place?

There's a theory in child psychology that comes from a guy named Albert Bandura. This social learning theory states that individuals learn their behaviors by watching and imitating others, especially when those behaviors are perceived as beneficial. Riddle's mother was a doctor, so he must have interpreted her actions as the key to success and prestige, even if, in the moment, it hurt him.

His mother taught him that strictness and harshness is the proper way to show care and concern; this is therefore the idea he carries with him about what love (platonic or romantic) should be.

He may have also been conditioned by his mother through punishment. Positive punishment occurs when the punishment is added, like how his mother would make him study for extra time if he didn't achieve as much as she wanted him to that day. She also utilized negative punishment by taking away Riddle's ability to go out and play with Trey and Chen'ya.

Punishment, of course, is not necessarily wrong; parents objectively need to punish their kids to discipline and raise them. However, the issue arises mainly when said punishment becomes too extreme.

This leads me to my next point: lack of play. Play is so, so important in a child's path to developing into a healthy person. Play has several benefits to a child's cognition, contributing largely to the development of perspective taking, empathy, flexibility, and emotional regulation. Being completely and totally restricted from playing with his friends as a child contributed to Riddle's current-day personality. His isolation and lack of interaction with his peers resulted in his hot-headed, inflexible, and socially inept (taking things too seriously, being obsessed with rules) behavior evidenced throughout Book 1.

Because of his mother's actions, Riddle is cognitively stunted and was led down an unhealthy path of psychological and cognitive development.

And don't even get me STARTED on how she must have impacted his relationship with food by hyperanalyzing every meal she gave him lol.

Part 2: Identity Development

Riddle is regarded in-game as 17 years old; that places him right at the end of middle adolescence (14-17 years old). Lots of crazy things happen during middle adolescence, particularly in terms of identity and brain development.

According to Erik Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, Riddle would be in the Identity vs. Role Confusion stage of life. This is the "who am I ?" stage, spanning from about 13-21 years old. Adolescents spend this time attempting to find out who they are; when resolved successfully, individuals come out with a strong sense of self, but when resolved unsuccessfully, individuals can feel lost, lacking self-definition and direction.

Additionally, James Marcia introduced the four stages of identity development:

Foreclosure - commitment without exploration

Diffusion - no commitment, no exploration

Moratorium - no commitment, but with exploration

Achievement - commitments and explorations have been achieved

So when we look at Riddle, we can draw from both theories. Riddle arguably doesn't know who he is for himself. His entire life has centered on what his mother wants for him; prior to his Overblot, he was stuck in the stage of Identity Foreclosure, in which he was committed to being an authoritarian, well-achieved leader (as influenced by his mother) but had no time to explore his options for himself. Combined with his insecure attachment and his stunted cognitive development due to his childhood experiences, deviation from this script is, predictably, distressful for him; this contributes to his outbursts whenever his authority was questioned. Post-Overblot, however, we can see that he's easing up and accepting that his mother maybe isn't the best person to be around (wow who would've thought). He's moving into Identity Moratorium; he's beginning to explore his options while letting go of his previous commitment (which is ultimately better for him in the long run).

Part 3: Neurology

I think it's important to also point out his neurological processes, too. Not in a "I think he's neurodivergent" way but in a "what are his brain structures" way.

See, when we grow into teenagers, our prefrontal cortex (PFC) actually is still developing. It's the brain structure associated with reasoning, decision making, and self-control. Several clinical studies such as this one also note that the PFC is heavily involved in emotional regulation.

And when your limbic system, specifically your amygdala, which is responsible for the processing of emotion, matures BEFORE the part of the brain meant for emotional regulation does, it leads to a lot of emotional behaviors such as Riddle's proneness to anger, along with impulsive actions such as Riddle's immediate response always being to collar someone rather than stop and think about their reasons for breaking a rule. It's like sending out a level 100 Regirock (limbic system) out against a level 2 Caterpie (PFC) lol.

This will probably be a common thread in all the OB boys but I think it's important to note how Riddle's neurological development affects his behavior.

IN CONCLUSION

Riddle's mom sucks

Riddle most likely has an insecure attachment style

Riddle is likely going through an identity crisis

He's a teenage boy going through teenage boy things (exacerbated by an unhealthy/emotionally abusive childhood)

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

honestly, you should've known sevika wouldn't get jealous.

she's always been so confident and secured in your relationship. there was no need for her to feel jealous nor did you. but, you got bored of that.

of course, you loved how understanding and confident she was, but the thought of her getting riled up at someone staring at you for too long had diseased your mind. there was obviously some guilt built up in you.

I mean—who gets upset that their girlfriend isn't insecure and jealous?

It's stupid.

sevika is like sour grapes: unattainable, an acidic-like personality, and tough. you couldn't crack her at all.

here you were at the bar, sitting in a skimpy outfit, drinking a sad, dull soda because you were too upset to get alcohol.

two people came up to you for your number, two! you thought maybe, just maybe, sevika would step in and scare them away. and both times, sevika only chuckled about it. a chuckle. not even a flinch. she even choked on her drink because of how much she was laugh. but you, shit was not funny to you.

y'know, when you first got together, you would think 'gosh, she's the sweetest for not getting angry!' so proudly telling all your friends how secure and healthy your guy's relationship was. but then you realized, you'd never experience one of those wattpad, fanfiction, mafia leader, jealous sex moments once in your life. shit was getting scary.

then, you wanted to experiment.

your hypothesis was: if you start "unintentionally" flirting with others, then, sevika will become jealous because you're the one taking part in it.

you felt kinda shitty for following through with it, but it was all in some good fun. nothing too serious, right?

oh how you were wrong.

sevika was busy chatting it up with the bartender. they'd been friends for many years, so it was expected. mhm, but what she didn't know was how you told her, the bartender, to start subtly flirting with you.

you had to pay her twenty bucks for it because she was scared sevika was going to beat her up.

anyhow, she began flirting with you. making sure sevika was paying attention allll throughout it.

"nice outfit." hm, pretty tame so far. "seriously matches your eyes, and both are so pretty." okay, a little bite. "aw, thanks. I was kinda debating whether or not I should wear it. It's a little revealing." "mm, no no. it's perfect. hugs your body nice." shittt okay now we're getting somewhere.

sevika didn't say anything, too fixated on her drink. damn alcoholic.

"you think so? I thought it made my tits look nice." you raise your eyebrows, indicating for her to get more risky. "your tits are what my eyes went to first." sevika paused, her glass right to her lips. "okay damn, take me out to dinner first." you bite the inside of your cheeks to stop yourself from laughing. "hm, maybe I should? I'll find somewhere real nice for us." "yeah?" "yeah, and I'll-" a glass slammed on the table. you both turn your heads to the sound and see sevika with a locked jaw.

she didn't even look at you before saying: "grab your purse. we're leaving." and throwing a couple of bills on the counter.

the whole car ride she didn't say anything. there wasn't even music turned on, and you felt too awkward to do anything.

maybe you shouldn't have done that.

actually, maybe you should've.

as soon as you stepped into your apartment she grabbed your cheeks with one hand, making you look up at her. it wasn't rough, but she did have a firm grip.

"what the fuck was that?" her lip curled out revealing her gap tooth. your arms flew up and gently grasped her arm holding your cheeks.

"I-I was j-joking around" you stammered, it being difficult to speak with sevika squishing your cheeks together.

"joking around with a big fucking smile on your face." she flexed her jaw and her grip slowly came undone.

you couldn't hide the amusement you felt, "where's all this coming from? thought you didn't care." sevika scoffed at your words.

"you're enjoying this, aren't you?" a small, husky chuckle. "fucking attention whore." she let go of your cheeks and moved her hand down to your throat, squeezing just enough so you still have some air.

her lips crashed onto your, not her usual slow and tender kisses, but rough and hungry. she pushed her tongue between your teeth, intertwining with your own and tasting your saliva. her hand on your neck pushed you back against the way with a thud, a knee placed between your legs.

you could barely breath, sevika's knee the only thing holding you up. your hands flew to her biceps, gripping onto the fabric of her shirt in a desperate attempt to ask sevika to slow down. eventually, sevika's lips leave yours so she could catch her breath. a pile of your combine spit sat on you chin, but you were too focused on taking in air to notice.

with her hand still on your neck, sevika laps up the saliva on your chin, cheeks, and lips and spits it back into your mouth.

"you wanted this, didn't you? wanted me to get jealous and fuck you with every inch of my body?" she whispered into your ear.

you couldn't speak, embarrassed at her realizing. "no..."

"lies." she moved her hand from your neck and kissed the bruise it left behind.

her other hand moved to your top, pulling down the neckline to expose your bra. "wore my favorite one." her eyes not moving from your breasts in front of her. "do I need anymore proof?" she said in a sly tone, gripping one of your breasts.

you nibbled on your bottom lip, "maybe I did want to make you...a little jealous." you mumbled, your hand on top of the one sevika's groping you with.

"a little?' she squeezed harder, resulting in you finching. "baby you're all mine. whether you try to flirt with someone else or not." she smirks "your can't get wet without my help."

the next thing you knew, your leg was lifted up against the wall with sevika's strap fucking into you.

you weren't able to stay up, knees growing weak and buckling over. your hands went to sevika's waist to attempt to stabilize yourself, but the sheer amount of force her thrusts had only made it more difficult.

your clit throbbed, every stroke rubbing up against it, and your vision turned blurry.

"s-sev...please slow..." you barely stuttered out, shaking with force. your leg being held up began to bruise up as it hit the wall.

sevika grunted, her top lip and nostrils flared up. "you can take it." she started "be a good girl and shut the fuck up." she said before spitting down on her strap, watching her spit go in and out of your cunt.

"shit. you're taking me so well." she grinned, slowing down on her speed, but going deeper with every thrust.

her strap was coated in your fluids, easily stretching out your hole even more and deepening her penetration which made tears pile up in your eyes.

sevika grabbed your cheeks and squished them together to watch your lips purse out. she grinned, watch you cry with those pretty eyes. "she said your eyes were pretty, yeah? even fucking prettier when your crying because of me." she sped up, feeling you about to come undone.

"sevika-sev!" you moaned, beginning to collapse over before sevika picked you up by both your legs.

she lifted you up against the wall, fucking her strap so hard you thought the wall would break. "ngh–vikaa! I-I'm gonna cum" your arms wrapped around sevika's neck.

you felt a rush of blood go to your legs when sevika slowly rode you out of your high. her arms lowered your feet down to the ground and removed her strap from your stretched cunt.

you fell to your knees, legs shaking from the orgasm. your heavy eyelids slowly glance up to see sevika grabbing onto your hair, clumping it up in her hand. she raised your head slightly before spitting right on your forehead.

"happy now?"

Matt he canonically WHAT

In the first movie Robotnik licks Sonic's quill and gets shocked. He offers it to Stone afterwards, showing he liked it. Fun little gag, right?

But then in Sonic 2 he...keeps doing it? And it's never explained why, the film just implies Robotnik's been regularly hitting the quill during his time in the Mushroom Planet. It might explain his more erratic behavior in the sequel.

Plus, look at way Robotnik acts after absorbing the Master Emerald's power. Doesn't it seem a little off to you?

Watch this and tell me this man isn't baked out of his mind. After losing he seemingly goes into a depressive state. And in the new trailer what does Robotnik do to get pumped up?

TLDR: ROBOTNIK HAS CANONICALLY BEEN GETTING HIGH OFF CHAOS ENERGY EVER SINCE THE FIRST MOVIE. YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE.

[alicentflorent]

Simone and Lauren have every right to be pissed about the direction their characters were taken in. They got cast to play these complex characters and accepted their roles hoping to expand on said characters, just to be written out after the strike with no personal character development. There’s so much more they could have done and could still be doing with the adult characters, specifically Lottie and Van who never really got a chance to grow and find their footing.
