🧵 "Launchpad's Association With Della Duck"

-----Part 1 | Part 2 || Part 3 | Part 4| Part 5 || Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 | Part 9-----

This is a series of essays I made during the show's run where I theorized how the two could be connected. There is another installment I released elsewhere and I plan on making one for Season 3, but I'm not sure if I'll be reposting them to this blog.

I love how there’s a scene in like every op arc where the straw hats are discussing what to do and zoros like “well luffys gonna do this” and everyone else is like “that’s crazy who would do that” and then it cuts to luffy doing that exact thing

my favorite way to romance in dragon age is playing as a mage and going after a self proclaimed mage hater

I think it's so funny

like "I hate all mages except this particular mage right here and I will not be taking any questions"

hahaha such a fake idgafer I saw you yearning

The thing abt either hehimming Or shehering Kris (or any other character that uses they/them for that matter) is like. well there's the cis way of doing it and then the trans way of doing it. The trans way of doing it will headcanon either that Kris was assigned female at birth and thus hehimming them is "okay," or that Kris was assigned male at birth and thus shehering them is "okay." I see this happen a lot, people using he/him for nonbinary characters played by cafab actors and not realizing that it's an issue. It's very odd how people will treat they/them pronouns as some kind of stepping stone towards being "fully trans," and assume that any cafab/transmasculine nonbinary person would "prefer" he/him to she/her and any camab/transfeminine nonbinary person would "prefer" she/her to he/him, even if they only use they/them and are explicitly neither a man nor a woman. Kris is really just set dressing on this post it's not entirely about them but they're def one of if not the most popular canon they/them character on Tumblr right now so it's worth talking about. A lot of people even trans people still seem uncomfortable with imagining a truly Agender social role that is neither masculine nor feminine, and with the idea that some people want no gender whatsoever. People think it's "less misgendering" to call a nonbinary person the gendered pronouns "opposite" of their casab (i.e. calling a cafab nb person he or sir or a camab nb person she or ma'am) and like, yeah, that's true for Some nonbinary people. But not for all nonbinary people and we should all get more comfortable with not using gendered language at all, not looking for loopholes or compromises or "misgendering but woke now". ykwim

Blue & Vio duo and Green & Red duo are sooooo good and amazing cuz like

Blue & Vio is unstoppable force (Blue) vs immovable object (Vio), which is like so many good rivals to bffs moments. I think they both mask haaarddd too, just very differently. they actually share a lot of similar insecurities & emotional struggles. So it makes them more empathetic & open towards each other. they argue way more in front of others cuz their masks clash, but when they are alone, they're actually a bit more intimate cuz they can more easily drop those masks

Green & Red is so super good for kinda opposite reasons. they kinda have a positive loop dynamic. they are constantly encouraging and reassuring towards each other, which obv encourages and reassures the other. if Red is down, Green will cheer him up. if Green is frustrated, Red will listen to him vent. they are more comfortable with their own emotions which makes it easier for them to communicate. plus I think they also rlly appreciate each other's warmer demeanors (look who they have to deal with)

I ended up falling asleep before I could do it, but I was going to say something about how Spamton describes his former non-Big Shot job position as “THE E_MAIL GUY” and Tenna using almost those exact words to refer to whoever sorted his mail for him (except for the “e” part, but a big bulky CRT TV like Tenna might very well predate the Internet and not be able to tell the difference):

But I just realized that that’s not the only part of this bit of dialogue that Tenna almost directly paraphrases Spamton in. When asked about “friends” in his shop, Spamton very specifically says “WE DON’ T NEED [[Easels]] or [[CRTs]]”:

Assuming Deltarune takes place in the present day and they met before Spamton’s fall from grace after 1997, it’s been over twenty-eight years since they last saw each other. And they still use the same choices of words when they talk, even taking into account how much Spamton’s ability to speak clearly has deteriorated over the years! These two might have started out as business partners, but they must’ve grown pretty close, just for it to end on a bitter note for both of them.

Barely know any of the lore for these 3 whores but I think they should all have nasty gay sex to get over whatever problems they’ve got

i think i spike a fever as soon as i think about chrisker in any capacity

[delphicstrawberries]

if i had a nickel for everytime i had a blorbo that was a catholic guy with blue eyes, a buzzcut, and a really cool intricate back tattoo that was very devoted to his brother(s) i’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

[thatstoomanysausages]

Are we all in agreement that Grian got a kill for his iron golem killing Jimmy? Yes? He instigated Jimmy to hit it, and at the very least, it was his pet so it's technically Grian's kill, yes?

I just know Alice was wanting to reach across the table and hold Gwen’s hand or smthn I swear

for real WHERE does the idea that [utdr humans] are nongendered so that "you can project on them" come from. their literal character arcs are about NOT being a blank slate to be filled in by the audience

i think i understand the assumption on some level for undertale, because there is a very intentional effort to make you identify with the "player character" in order to make your choices feel like your own (the beating heart of undertale's metanarrative lies in giving you an alternative path to violence against its enemies after all, and whether you're still willing to persue it for your own selfish reasons. YOUR agency is crucial).

of course, the cardinal plot twist of the main ending sweeps the rug from under your feet on that in every way, and frisk's individuality becomes, in turn, a tool to further UT's OTHER main theme: completionism as a form of diegetic violence within the story. replaying the game would steal frisk's life and happy ending from them for our own perverse sentimentality, emotionally forcing our hand away from the reset button.

i think their neutrality absolutely aids in that immersion. but also, there's this weird attitude by (mostly) cis fans where it being functional within the story makes it... somehow "editable" and "up to the player" as well? which is gross and shows their ass on how they approach gender neutrality in general lol.

but also like. there's plenty of neutral, non PCharacters in undertale and deltarune. even when undertale was just an earthbound fangame and the player immersion metanarrative was completely absent, toby still described frisk as a "young, androgynous person". sometimes characters are just neutral by design. it's not that hard to understand lol.

anyone who makes this argument for kris deltarune is braindead. nothing else to say about it.

eden for the ask game :3

okay! sorry this took a while, i. do not have a lot of thoughts about eden lmao

Favourite thing about her: She actually has a personality and is affected by things, not just blindly optimistic for the hell of it.

Least favourite thing about her: I don’t- actually know- I don’t really have a lot of opinions about her so ig i’ll just leave this one.

Favourite line: This is more of a scene but where she blackmailed Teruko about the cacti thing!

brOTP: Eden + Levi i need this to become a friendship guys you don’t understand

(also their height difference is so fucking funny to me like look at this and rewatch ch2 ep1)

OTP: I don’t really have a favourite Eden ship? I guess Terueden is kinda cute-

nOTP: Eden x Arturo (I feel like i don’t have to explain this one, even without the fact that Eden is a lesbian-)

Random headcanon: Eden likes scrapbooking!

Unpopular opinion: I don’t really.. have one? Oh I could try this one- Areiden is kinda meh imo. Like- I prefer them as friends but I don’t have a problem with people who ship it please do not get upset at me

Song I associate with her: Rule #1 - Magic by Fish in a Birdcage

Favourite picture of her:

her face is so cute it’s like :0 woaw and i love her for it
