I'm suddenly thinking about Romeo and how he was specifically made into the King of Puppets. He was a fitting subject to channel and regulate Ergo, and the first (mostly) successful test run for what Geppetto wanted to accomplish. But I'm suddenly thinking... why specifically Romeo? How did Geppetto choose Carlo's best friend out of everyone he could have potentially chosen?
Unless he knew what type of person Romeo was...?
As in... He needed someone who would be fitting for the role of King-- a leader who could play the role needed to further his means. Because Geppetto could have chosen any old schmuck from the street, but he specifically got a hold of Romeo, the boy who grew up with his son in the Monad Charity House. Whether you want to believe what the loading screens says (and we all know by now how much you can really trust those-- looking at you, Rose Estate Cover Up Scheme) on Romeo specifically striking a deal with him, or if it was something else entirely... the fact remains that he specifically reached out to use Romeo, of all people.
So what does that say about Romeo, as a character? He must have a great leader-type. "My puppets and I are battling against death itself"-- so proper, places himself on the battlefield alongside the others... and "My puppets"... he personally took them in as his own upon waking. He didn't ask for the throne, he woke up and suddenly was placed in this role... but he filled it as necessary and he lead HIS puppets to help the people.
I think we can say he's brave, friendly and hopeful, if the flashback upon first meeting Carlo says anything, plus, his repeated attempts at getting P to remember him and join him in the fight against the disease. We can tell he's a great leader, and has a good sense of humor (the amused little chuckle you hear in his message to P saying "You're still an unstoppable fellow"), absolutely the sentimental type...
I just have a lot of emotions about him suddenly. Romeo was... so good.

Sometimes when spindle loafs for a long time me and my sister pretend he's bread in an oven and beg him to wake up because he's gonna over bake

Montague "Duck" Collett, aka "Green Bread Loaf"! 🍞💚😂
After his friends realized that pannier tank engines look like bread loafs, Duck's life was never the same...
(The bread that Duck is holding here was made by Donald btw lmao)

Dad: “You’ve never consistently walked every day how do you know it wouldn’t help?” (my chronic fatigue and perceived laziness for only doing as much as I need to and no more)
Me: “I literally walked (up the steep ass hill leading to our neighborhood) every day with 30 lbs of textbooks on my back for 7 years.”
Dad: “And you had more energy and were 100lbs lighter back then! See it works!”
like literally 1. no, I definitely did not. there’s (many) reasons I didn’t do homework and was failing every class bc of it, and a lack of energy was a big one. 2. lmao I gained like 30 lbs since I got out of high school if he really thinks it was 100 he’s deluding himself. 3. i only did all of that because i literally had no other choice. what was I going to do as someone who has a massive fear of punishment (in large part because of him), not go to school? skip class and get treated even worse? this is the man that cut off my access to running water for like 12 hours as punishment once. i can’t believe i ever thought that shit was normal
