Here's a little old angst amid the kot kot chaos

#fanart #käärijä #jere pöyhönen #kiitos käärijä for helping me get out of my artblock #the duality of this fandom #one week it's quiet and every artist is compelled to draw this pic that captures a feeling beyond words #the next it's kotkotkotkot and he's a chicken #seriously though I was having a bad time last week #and starting this drawing was therapeutic #like his face just really.. looked how I felt #and I love that that pic became another accidental dtiys lmao #it's the spike horns that make him look like a sad mythical creature of sadness

For the character opinion bingo can yuo do felix..

This fucking guy. I have such a torrid relationship with this character. I've spent a lot of time joking about actively hating him, just because (especially back in 2021, when I first got into The Walten Files) there was such a gross oversaturation of these terrible, bland, thoughtless interpretations of the character. Like so many people saw this really interesting sort of character, and watered him down into something that was more personally palatable and sympathetic for them.

I don't know. Felix is so uninteresting when you don't hold him accountable for anything. I remember a lot of people trying to pin the responsibility for his actions onto the other people in his life, chiefly Jack, because they sympathized with his personal struggles and wanted to woobify him into a character who had never really done anything wrong. Which is such a shame, because that sort of wishy-washy attitude a lot of the fandom had taken towards his actions really soured me on him for a while. And that's not fair, because he's a genuinely fantastic and really interesting character.

I've always loved Felix when it comes to canon depictions of him, y'know? Because it's so free of that kind of Fandom Baggage. Even the good fandom Felix content has to bear the burden of that baggage a lot of the time, and it's worsened for it. But it's like, man, I always forget how fucking fascinating Felix is until we get some Fun New Canon, or someone in the fandom writes or draws something really good, and then it all comes back to me. I'm dying to see more of this character. I really want to get further into his head. I want to see exactly the depths of depravity he's willing to go to save his own skin, and I want to see how he justifies it to himself all the while.

I think a lot about his Formerly Positive relationships with other characters, too, because I think even before things went bad, Felix was always pretty self-centered. Very upbeat and overfriendly to the point where it seems, very obviously, like he's compensating for something. I think he cares a lot about what people think of him, but doesn't necessarily value other peoples' opinions. I think he very genuinely thinks of himself as the smartest person in the room, but is chronically resentful of everybody else in his life for outsmarting him. I really love the idea of everything with him being this sort of paradox. He's so self-deprecating, thinks so little of himself, but would move hell and high water to avoid actually changing and improving anything about his life. He's always so sorry, when he does something wrong and it blows up in his face, but the last thing he'd ever be willing to do is try and do better next time. He treats every tragedy that befalls him as some terrible innevitability he's subjected to, instead of the natural consequences of his own, controllable behavior.

I've already said I think Jack was a bit of an emotional anchor for him, in a way where Jack was this sort of representation of a Successful, Fulfilled man, so Felix really craved validation from him. He would always try, with varying degrees of success, to be on Jack's good side, because having Jack tell him he had done a good job made him feel that much closer to being the Pinnacle of Success he imagined Jack to be. And in this way, Jack was sort of dehumanized by Felix from the very beginning. Jack, in many ways, stopped being Felix's friend, an important person in his life, and started being this idyllic representation of a Good Man that Felix both resented and desperately clung to.

I think about this idea a lot when rewatching Guilty and hearing Felix try and justify his actions to himself through the lens of how Jack would feel. He had to bury Edd & Molly, because Jack would be devastated to see them like that. He could never do that to Jack, his best friend. Jack would be devastated. That's why it has to be a secret, why Jack can never know. He's doing good, he's protecting Jack's feelings. It's such a fundamental disconnect from the reality of the situation, and it feels to me a lot like he's projecting this imagined idea of Jack Walten onto the circumstances to soothe himself, and in the process is denying the real Jack Walten his autonomy in the situation. Jack doesn't get to be told what happened and decide for himself how to feel, Felix gets to decide how Jack would probably feel, and act on that instead.

Imagine for a moment, this same situation, but involving something much less terrible and serious. Maybe Jack has a nice vase in his house that he likes and is important to him. Maybe one day, Felix comes over and, when Jack is in the other room, accidentally knocks it on the floor, and it shatters. Felix, imagining how upset Jack would be to know his favorite vase was broken, sweeps it discreetly into the garbage, and plays stupid when Jack asks about it later. Now, Jack: 1. Never gets the closure of knowing that happened to this thing that he valued so dearly. He never knows if it was stolen or misplaced and is in one piece somewhere out in the world, or if it really was broken, and he should give up trying to recover it. 2. Never gets to decide what should happen in the aftermath of this vase being broken. Maybe he, too, was just going to sweep it into the garbage. But maybe, beforehand, he would take the opportunity to mourn this broken thing before it was out of his life forever. Or maybe he'd try to glue the shards back together. The point is not what he does, but the fact that he was never given the chance to decide what he would do.

I'm worried that last paragraph might come off as pretty patronizing. The point I'm trying to make is just that I don't think Felix really considers Jack as an autonomous person, and that's a really interesting part of their dynamic to me that I think is relatively really underutilized.

Apparently I have a lot to say about Felix Kranken. There's a lot more I could say, but this post is so fucking long already, holy shit.

#ask #This is my first time really sitting down and drawing Felix and trying to make him look. like. accurate to the vision of him in my mind #it was kind of therapeutic honestly! it feels good to get My Take on him out into the world #felix

Here's some facts and doodles about Gorm's arms that I couldn't fit anywhere really. xD

His arms are very flexible and dexterous. Able to twist, shorten and extend quite a bit; they can stretch twice as long as their resting length. So if you think you're out of reach, you'd better go three times the distance.

Like an octopus, the suckers have a touch-taste ability. He uses them to explore the enviroment, find food etc. The present humans figured out to use an extremely bitter spray to deter a grabby arm. The bitter taste will have the arm recoiling and also send a "EUUUWH nasty!" signal to his brain. It's a very effective, harmless, way to not be grabbed. Unless he really wants to pick you up, then he'll just do it with his hands. You can spray all you want on those.

His "hair" isn't really hair. It's more like finstalks, containing muscle tissue so he can move them around a bit. But they mostly move on reflex, like when he's startled or scared. His "eyelashes" aren't made of hair either. xD

Also he's venomous. But he rarely use it as it's a bit of an overkill.

#Muppen doodles #oc Gorm #octomer #cw tentacles #pfff that one arm that looks like it's about to faint from the unpleasantness that is the spray #of course you gotta be quick with the spray and aim for a sucker as it's 'only' there that the receptors are xD #I'm having too much fun drawing octopus arms. #it's quite therapeutic ;o; #Ok ok ok last pic of him for a while #... but no promises
