Indigo Park: Oswald and Mickey, Rambley and Lloyd
I've not that long ago gotten into Indigo Park and I think it has a lot of potential to be something good. This just hit me, and I read somewhere along the lines but. Here's my theory or speculation, if you will.
Lloyd was the first ever mascot character for the Indigo brand, and was the original face for the Indigo brand. For the first chapter, let's look back at the old timey advert for Indigo Park.
Isn't it weird that Rambley, the face of Indigo Park, isn't up at the entrance of the gate? Especially on opening day, but Lloyd is?
Not to mention, the ONLY character to have a vintage style plushie is of Lloyd not the rest of the gang. It's more custom for the character who started everything to get merch of him in the good ol' days.
Let's look at their color schemes.
Oswald, in modern depictions wears blue shorts.
And Mickey has red shorts.
Lloyd's main color scheme is blue.
While Rambley's main color is indeed, indigo, but guess what he is wearing? A red bandana.
Geese has stated he is a fan of Disney theme parks and their history. I wouldn't be surprised if he put Oswald and Mickey's dynamic into his game. Oswald, at first when he's coming around to Mickey, as bitter, resentful, angry, and jealous that he was replace and that Mickey has the spotlight. Rambley really acts like Oswald when Lloyd is even mentioned, but Lloyd doesn't seem to notice Rambley's distaste for him.
Look at how he reacts to the Retro Lloyd plush.
I think it's obvious Rambley is jealous of Lloyd. It's been mentioned that Lloyd is more popular than Rambley. I think if we add onto the fact that Lloyd is the most popular, with him being the first rubs salt into the wound for Rambley. Because now HE'S the face of the Indigo brand. Why do they still treat Lloyd like he's the face of everything, when he's here? Dude is so jealous of him downright insults him.
Kind of like a role reversal, in a way. Lloyd still gets special treatment, when Rambley is the literal face of the brand. On top of Lloyd being egocentric. Yeesh, that has to hurt. In the song, Rambley says HE'S the most devoted devotee of the park, but gets none special treatment besides... one of his plushies being painted gold.
Not to mention, Geese said in his VOD reacting to YouTubers play Indigo Park, Lloyd is going to be important to the plot and we're gonna see more of him. Do of that what you will.
But I guess we'll have to see. Chapter 2 is coming out 2025.

I love that part in indigo park where he’s all like
“Buddy, this is for staff only”
*sees the threat that’s chasing us
“You’ve been promoted to staff!!”
I just find it humorous and I just love that scene, also I love rambley, he’s such a adorable raccoon

So like do Lloyd and Rambley hate each other now in your Cast Chronicles AU or no?
Nah they don’t hate each other. They’re just two friends (?) who constantly get on each other’s nerves (and who may or may not have had a messy breakup a few years back).
Even after it happened, Louis (Lloyd) could never bring himself to hate him.

Thank you once again @welcome-to-hotel-california for the ask!!
I thought this comic was a funny idea because I kinda shows their dynamic in my AU. Also, Louis has canonicaly made a fursona for himself so...
For those unfamiliar, these characters are part of my Cast Chronicles AU, an Indigo Park AU set in the 1960s. In this alternate reality, the main cast mascots are human employees who worked together at Indigo Park. As the story unfolds, we delve into their roles within the park and the friendships they form. However, things take a turn for the worse when they begin to mysteriously disappear, one by one.
Here in the original comic:
