final thoughts on the fox fella + new smol cat boi

What I find the most fascinating about Fellow isn't the character himself but rather the fandom reaction to just seeing his design. It was a tsunami of thirst unlike anything I had ever witnessed before. People were switching up oshis entirely, those who had never made a self-insert or yume before were suddenly making ones specifically to be shipped with Fellow, it was WILD. He's a homewrecker/j I support any and all Fellowives out there👍

That being said, I'm surprised that I feel so... lukewarm about him overall????? I'm usually all gung-ho for the smiling scammer types but for some reason Fellow just doesn't resonate with me. I'll admit that he's very good-looking (I love the colors of his suit, the cravat, the colorful patched up pants, and especially the silly little half capelet thing hanging off of him). His expressions are also very fun, with some favorites being his super smug smirk and the knowing, slightly-off kilter smile. However, there's just something about Fellow's personality that doesn't sit with me quite right. I know it's not the "he's a Red Flag!! RUN AWAY NOW!!!" thing either, because I love Love LOVE red flags in fictional characters 😭

Fellow is good at charming people off the cuff and using deceit to compensate for his low magical reserves, which in of itself is intriguing. It’s also admirable that he wants to start his own school for non-mages and low-magic mages to mingle, He’s an adult that still keeps the spirit of childlike wonder alive, and that makes him fun to follow. Those are the traits of his I like.

But I get the vibes that Fellow isn't as clever or as impressive as he likes to think he is...? He's full of himself but can't exactly back up his words with action. That's not meant to be a diss at his magical prowess, he's lacking in other areas as well. Like, he's a fully grown man picking fights with kids because of a personal vendetta... and he’s steering the kids home while the island is sinking and relying on them to rescue them in case anything goes wrong?? That’s just irresponsible. Not to mention he doesn’t seem to plan ahead?? How does he not know he’s kidnapping many famous and/or powerful people with families might come after his ass if they go missing?

I think that it doesn't help that the "pathetic" vibes were being conveyed in a lot of fan art well before the twist; it only adds to his "patheticness" and it gets to a point where it's too much for me and then is no longer appealing. I can get on board with him and gloating and wanting to crush kids’ dreams because same/j but not when he’s panting and wheezing and desperately tackling them for their tickets to tear up. He doesn’t feel like a genuine threat without the support of his backers. I would still say I like the character and will happily rag on him, but I wouldn't bark for him or anything (though I will grant him points for coming close to winning the cage makes it better/j).

What I appreciate about Fellow's character is that it shows us a darker side to Twisted Wonderland. I don't necessarily think his initial motives are that deep (he's after fat stacks), but I think the sentiment behind the motives are. It pulls back the curtain and reveals an ugly truth about his magical world and the roles that money and privilege play in it. We aren't exposed to many instances of this, but they are, in fact, there (like when Yuu was insulted by Riddle in book 1). It's finally getting attention front and center now—I just wish they had gone deeper with it.

What's currently got me invested in following Fellow is his relationship with Gidel. I love that they're a "found family" (they're "sworn brothers") and that Fellow seems to look after Gidel... Telling the NRC boys not to put stupid ideas in Gidel's head, walking off with Gidel at the end, recounting the times they scammed together, putting his arm out in battle to keep Gidel behind him... (or maybe I'm just delusional and want to believe the fan art LOL). I'm such a sucker for the trope of the protective big brother 💀 Unfortunately, we don't get a ton of canon moments in the event... Like damn, not even details on how they first met or how they found this job or why specifically Fellow cares for Gidel??? I don’t like that for all that we’re told about how hard the duo’s past was, we didn’t get to hear a lot of explicit detail about it (especially when it is so inherently important to their conflict with the NRC crew and their turn at the very end). I just gotta pray their eventual card next Halloween will give more insight into this.

He’s a character I like to think about mainly because his background as a failed mage student gives me a lot to chew on in terms of questioning the world’s lore and how their society is structured. Fellow himself is good for a few laughs, but it isn’t long before my mind strays, if that makes sense. I’m not chomping at the bit, but I don’t exactly detest the guy??? I guess you would call it ambivalence; I’m only fixated on certain aspects of him (the looks, the lore he provides, and the onii-sama potential).

I don't really have much to comment on for Gidel, but I have to say that I like having mute representation and more magicless characters in the cast at large. His outfit is also very fun; I like how it incorporates colors you don't normally see slapped together (that shade of yellow and purple) while still looking cohesive. I keep looking at Gidel's design and seeing a mix of Cheka and Ruggie though (because of the fluffy hair, eye shape, and stature). He very much reminds me of a smol doggo I'd bump into on a walk home and spend ten minutes standing there and considering adopting it.

As I said in my thoughts on Fellow, I think Gidel is at his best when he's in his little brother-big brother dynamic with Fellow. He's just a little guy trying his best while Fellow's trying to lead them. I think that's something the whole fandom can agree on, since I see sooo many people shading Fellow for his actions but the same people squealing and patting Gidel on the head and claiming he has done nothing wrong (despite being complicit in, and actively helping with, the trafficking operation). I guess it's because Gidel is still a child and may not fully understand the implications of it???

It's very sweet and genuine that Gidel demonstrates an interest in going to school and learning—but Fellow, who has been disappointed by the world of magic academia, warns Gidel against it. In his own way, he's keeping Gidel from what he sees as an uppity, shallow realm that will crush his hopes and dreams. That's Fellow's version of "protecting" him. It's a way of telling us about their relationship without outright stating how Fellow feels about Gidel. In return, Gidel also supports him and whacks him a good one when Fellow’s down in the dumps.

I'm sad that we didn't get to see more of their dynamic in the event (like we only see them having a meaningful interaction at the very end), but maybe that's just because the fandom works have set my expectations high. Unfortunately, all those sweet moments of Fellow and Gidel bonding are seemingly confined to just fanart and fanfiction, since very little is mentioned or even implied in the event itself. I'm hoping that (assuming they get a card together next year) we get to see more glimpses of their daily life in the associated vignettes.

gotta admit half of why i want to try this trend is to find out what characters you all immediately associate my blog with :P

and to doodle in the margins lol

#ney's idle chatter (random textposts) #captain's contests (interactive games) #character opinion bingo #also leaving blank template here bc it can be a doozy to find lol #i was gonna do the ship opinion bingo one but #i would just have so much less to say. almost all of them would boil down to ‘i can see why people like it and i’m glad they’re having fun’ #but that's not super entertaining lol #GAH i got a lot of these now i gotta actually fill them out ahshcjajkd

Thoughts on Ho'olheyak?

Oh, I fucking love her.

"But Doc, you never talk or reblog her" yes because so many folks just look at her surface level for the lack of meta, the sniddies, or the "lol what a wacky evil gal". Yet I have been lurking in the shadows, gathering my thoughts on her since Lone Trail...and her module. Her module gives me So Many Feelings, y'all.

Because yes, she's pretty, and she's powerful (in story and in game I stand by this SHE IS FUN TO USE HAVE HER BLOW AWAY SHEEP FOR ENRICHMENT), and she's that antagonist that always gets away to bother the heroes more. But under that? She is always at risk of being literally crushed by her legacy. She is grasping for eveyrthing she cannot have, and in many ways knows she cannot have, but she has to keep going because her sunk cost fallacy for her and her entire people is that far gone. She puts herself up on a pedestal she's building herself, higher and higher, and even if she's lonely she tells herself it's worth it. It has to be worth it.

I. Love. Ho'olheyak. And everything so deeply complicated about her.

Hi Quin 💜

Can I have Sir Crocodile for the Character Opinion Bingo please? :3

Of course \o/

Shit's all over the place, but we got a bingo!

I probably should've marked I Have So Many headcanons, but I don't feel like I have a *lot* for Crocodile, just a very vivid couple.

obviously we have to start with sting eucliffe for the character bingo. this is also your chance to gush.

The love of my life

I’m so mad about how he’s treated by the fans and how they portrait him as nothing but Natsu’s fanboy but most of all I’m mad about how he’s treated by MASHIMA

Let’s not talk about the Twin Dragons VS Natsu & Gajeel fight or his NOT NECESSARY surrender at the GMG or else I’m going to kill myself

But I love how this scrimblo just blew a hole through a motherfucker’s chest like he was made of butter. That was very sexy imo

Why do people believe this man is dumb?? Have y’all forgotten about that clever strategy he put up on the last day of the Games?? Hello??

And btw if you think he’s straight you’re crazy

Caitlin for the character bingo!

Funnily enough, she was my least favorite character when I started watching the show, and I was neutral about her for a while, until season 4, which was when I started to actually like her. I kinda felt like she was just there to be the tropey uptight-smart-girl character at first, and while I don't feel that way about her anymore (even when rewatching the earlier seasons), it did take me some time to warm up to her. I think part of that had to do with my thinking she would inevitably get a romantic storyline with Barry and/or Cisco, and I was dreading seeing that happen (with Barry because I didn't care, and with Cisco because I value their friendship too much as-is to want it to be anything else), but once it became clear that the show wasn't gonna go either of those routes with her, I was able to relax and start to appreciate her more.

So the funny thing about Caitlin—I love her, but I dislike so many of her storylines. She spent three seasons being wrapped up in love interest subplots, and when she finally broke out of that cycle, everything started to revolve around Frost. Which wasn't a bad thing at first, but instead of seizing the opportunity to give Caitlin more development, instead the show did the exact opposite, and took away parts of her personality, history, and role on the team, and attributed them to Frost instead, whom they had decided was now a completely different person and not a repressed side of Caitlin anymore. And while there are things I love about them being separate characters, that retcon seriously screwed Caitlin over by limiting her screen time and stunting her potential for more growth (plus it kinda felt like the writers were more interested in Frost, and they didn't know what to do with Caitlin once they'd amputated Frost's personality traits from her, so to speak).

Her treatment in season 8 had a lot to do with why I didn't even watch season 9. She became the character I was most invested in after Cisco left (which I was not expecting), and I just had zero interest in watching things get worse and worse for her.

I hesitated to mark off "the fandom is so mean", because she IS a major fan favorite, but at the same time it's...complicated. You have the section of Iris stans who hate her just to spite Snowbarry shippers, and you have the Frost fans who consider Caitlin to be the lesser/boring Snow, and then there's the chunk of Snowbarry shippers who...don't actually seem to really appreciate her, they just want her with Barry because she's not Iris?? (not black, that is) So like she's simultaneously overrated for qualities she doesn't have, and under-appreciated for qualities she does have.

And of course, I would be remiss not to mention @frosty-the-killer-doll's near-constant cheerleading, endearing me to Caitlin even further.
