@porkyminch

Lol… I hope it brings the city success

[petalsonfacesnovinesthough]

Hot take: Gamzee Makara is partially inspired by Porky/Pokey Minch. I have evidence of... Something!

(Please be known that Porky will be used for Mother 2, and Pokey for EarthBound. Same character, different name in translation. For facts that apply to both, the original name will be used.)

((Also, I will be starting with the HomeStuck facts, then EarthBound.))

1. Best Friend of The Protagonist

The first troll we, as readers, control is Karkat Vantas. The EveryMan of Alternia. His best friend, the next troll we control, is Gamzee, and he's very vocal about his relationship with the Troll of the Crab.

As for both Minchs, he is stated to be Ness' best friend through NPC Dialogue, but for obvious reasons, Ness doesn't say it out right. Porky does.

2. Abusive Homelife

All trolls are supposed to be raised by a lusus, developing a symbiotic relationship. Of course, with all parents, not all are stellar. Gamzee's lusus, a seagoat, should be near the hive. He rarely is, though, thus leaving Gamzee neglected, which lead to the Goatfish Troll abusing Soporifics, due to not being guided against eating sopor slime.

Porky, is stuck under a different kind of abuse, depending on the translation. In EarthBound, it's verbal abuse, which both Pokey and his brother Picky live with. However, in Mother 2, Porky and Picky are physically abused, being hit by their dad rather than told off for running off.

3. Connection to The Main Evil of Their Story

Gamzee's one of the most tied-up characters in HS's giant time loop, being a fourth of the big bad of the comic, Lord English, leading to Gamzee's killing of Equius.(Nepeta was probably not in LE's plan)

After Ness finishes up in Onett, he heads off to Twoson, and by extension Happy-Happy Village, finding The Happy-Happiests, led by Mr. Carpainter, and Porky, influenced by The Mani-Mani Statue, the physical representation of Giygas's corruptive power, which follows the boy all the to the end of the game.

4. Still Wanting a Connection with their Friend

The nail in the coffin that ended Murderstuck was stopping Gamzee. In doing so, Karkat stepped in as leader and calmed him down, creating a moiraillegiance between the two trolls.

Once Mr. Carpainter is defeated, all the Happy-Happiests wake up, including Porky. However, his thoughts on it change based on translation. Pokey asks for forgiveness, but it turns out he's lying. Porky however, is perfectly earnest. But, since Ness is a silent protagonist, he doesn't answer. Either way, he runs off.

5. Washed Brain... Big Time

So, once Gamzee comes across Lil' Cal, he stares right into LE'S soul and gets hijacked, continuing the time loop, never being in control of himself for the rest of the comic aside from one panel.

Remember how I said Giygas had a corruptive power? Well, it also affects Porky. He joins The Mani-Mani Statue in venturing to Fourside, manipulating Monotoli into kidnapping Paula again. After Ness and Jeff catch up with him, he steals the helicopter and disappears until the final boss fight, joining Giygas. He even goes from general clothes, to a suit, to the tell-tale sign of a human under Giygas' control; his skin turns blue.

6. Unkillable

Due to the time loop, Gamzee's destiny is to die in the final fight between the human kids and Caliborn. Until then, he can't die. Like, at all. He gets shot, and still lives. He gets kicked off a cliff, and lives. You just can't kill the clown.

Porky, due to being a child, can't die. Due to escaping at the end, and becoming immortal in Mother 3/hiding in the Absolutely Safe Capsule, he will never die.

So, now that I've laid out all my evidence, go ahead and think on it. Perhaps I'll change some minds. And yes, I'm a Gamzee apologist.

EarthBound[a] is a role-playing video game developed by Ape Inc. and HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The second entry in the Mother series, it was first released in Japan in August 1994, and in North America in June 1995. As Ness and his party of four, Paula, Jeff and Poo, the player travels the world to collect melodies from eight Sanctuaries in order to defeat the universal cosmic destroyer Giygas, also known as Giegue or Gyiyg.

EarthBound had a lengthy development period that spanned five years. Its returning staff from Mother (1989) included writer/director Shigesato Itoi and lead programmer Satoru Iwata, as well as composers Keiichi Suzuki and Hirokazu Tanaka, who incorporated a diverse range of styles into the soundtrack, including salsa, reggae, and dub. Most of the other staff members had not worked on the original Mother, and the game came under repeated threats of cancellation until Iwata joined the team. Originally scheduled for release in January 1993, the game was completed around May 1994.

Themed around an idiosyncratic portrayal of Americana and Western culture, EarthBound subverted popular role-playing game traditions by featuring a real world setting while parodying numerous staples of the genre. Itoi wanted the game to reach non-gamers with its intentionally goofy tone; for example, the player uses items such as the Pencil Eraser to remove pencil statues, experiences in-game hallucinations, and battles piles of vomit, taxi cabs, and walking nooses. For its American release, the game was marketed with a $2 million promotional campaign that sardonically proclaimed "this game stinks". Additionally, the game's puns and humor were reworked by localizer Marcus Lindblom, and the title was changed from Mother 2 to avoid confusion about what it was a sequel t
