23-26 with Coco please!
Haha weee Coco time (sorry this took so long lmao I'm in late-stage semester hell :)))
23. Favourite picture
I was going to make a comment about how much I like all of her A New Day sprites but I got distracted by her wiki page
I dont like this. I feel like she's going to hurt me.
24. What other character from another fandom of yours reminds you of them?
Honestly none I don't think? She's so unique I don't think anyone's doing it quite like her. The closest comparison I can think of is Iono from pkm ScarVo!
Not the most original observation but I do think if you swapped them absolutely nothing would change. I would watch Coco's twitch stream. Iono can and would kill if provoked.
25. What was your first impression of this character? What about now?
I did not like Coco at ALL at first
I was first getting into twewy during the Final Remix + Anime era right so I had no context for A New Day and didn't know Coco was a new character. I watched the anime. Waited for Coco to show up. Honked my stupid little clown nose when she didn't.
But then I figured "Weeeelll maybe the anime left her out. The ended seemed a little rushed so it's probably just game-to-anime translation weirdness. I'll play the game. She'll totally show up there!"
PINK GUMBALL SON OF A BITCH PULLED A FAST ONE ON ME TWICE!!!
EVENTUALLY I played A New Day and everything made sense but it sucked too so I was pissed off at Coco for a while 😔 sorry girl it's not your fault I was just bitter
It's really you talking about her that made me appreciate her more so thank you for that :]

I know this is more my blorbo than yours, but did you see the trailer for the Nikki movie they're making because that's a thing that's happening! Like it looks really good! Also the trailer features a toddler Nikki and I think the Nikki at the end is like middle school age and it's adorable. Look she is so small and precious 🥰🥺

Sorry that it took me a bit to watch this but OH MY GOODNESS SHE IS SO TINY AND ADORABLE.... That's such good animation?? I want to see it when it comes out for sure I can definitely tell which of my friends would like watching it with me just from this trailer alone, and also like, they're definitely on some kingdom hearts shit with all of these sparkles and symbolism? your girl is so precious pls don't worry about updating me on these!

Anyways. I don't think I can get into Dungeon Meshi (I strongly suspect a trigger of mine will be just prominent enough to make it a task to read/watch) but if I could I would do so in an instant just to get Falin's whole situation.
She's got a cute design. She gets resurrected(?) into a cuter/visually appealing design. She's got a fun balance of human and dragon but Also she's fluffy with feathers now??? And she may or may not go apeshit at some point after the resurrection. Idk she's hitting all the right buttons for me sjfjsjcjdcn

I feel like I understand people's blorbofication of Javert because I get why someone would really cling onto a complex (male) antagonist with a traumatic past whose entire life is a lie and who kills himself when he reaches that final moment of realization. It is absolutely tragic, and it is easy and natural to cling onto that, we've all been there. But you need to understand that two things are in motion here: the first one is Javert's individual tragedy, and the second one is the broader system he personifies. He's a symbol. His primary function in the narrative is to personify the hateful, bigoted, cruel, inhumane legal system that intervenes after the fact and crushes all those that society has already put down. He, the incarnation of that bourgeois legal system, delivers the final blow. He finishes off what society started, and he does it with joy. When we say that he killed Fantine, it's not even about Javert the individual per se. It's about the entire system he represents. That system killed Fantine and Javert is its flesh and bones. Fantine was a poor girl that was exploited and let down by society in every single way and when she was herself a victim of actual physical violence, the Law, personified by Javert, instead of protecting her treated her like an animal, dehumanized her, humiliated her. The Law was scandalized that a woman like her dared attack the bourgeoisie. The Law was horrified that such a disgusting creature got medical care because she should just drop dead on her street. The Law rejoiced in tearing down her sole protector. The Law prevented her from getting her child back from the con artists that have been stealing her for years because the Law doesn't care about the crimes committed against marginalized people. That's not its function. Its function is to use its discretionary authority in order to dehumanize and punish people that ended up on the wrong side of the street.
So when you come at me with nonsense that Javert "didn't tEchNIcALLy kill Fatnine", "he was just rude", "he was just bitchy", "he just stole her final happy moments", respectfully, you don't know what you're talking about. Javert absolutely killed Fantine. He's not the only one who did but he eagerly and enthusiastically precipitated her execution, and that is the entire point Hugo is trying to make. Your arguments against it are nothing but a mere technicality that stems from the fact that the individual's actions technically do not qualify as manslaughter. It's as if we literally had an individual at court and we were thinking of whether or not to condemn him for manslaughter. It's not about that. It's not about your blorbo and his sadness. Your blorbo has a whole other function in the narrative. You have completely missed the mark of the entire book and you have let your personal emotional attachment for a character prevail over Hugo's main argument about the structural punitive violence that literally kills people. Javert being the product and the embodiment of an entire system that exceeds his individuality does not mean that, as a police officer, he's not responsible for his actions or their consequences. On the contrary, he's precisely entirely responsible for the structural violence committed against Fantine, that's what "embodiment" actually means, that's what we mean when we say that he personifies that system. Absolving Javert of his crimes goes directly against the themes of the book, because while systems operate above individuals by definition, they need those individuals to function. The system needs Javerts. Javerts are everywhere around us, yes even today and it is important to hold them accountable for their crimes. I can't believe I have to explain this tbh.
