I know everyone knows that protag has the entire family issues right?

But why do y'all only talk about the fourth floor?

Like- THERE'S A FUKIN' FLOOR WHERE YOU NEED TO GIVE A DRUGGED CAKE TO A MOUTH????? LIKE- ARE THERE ANYONE WHO THINKS THIS IS WEIRD???

Like... I don't know... Him hiding the sleeping pills... Having to drug a cake...

Also, there's that one thing when you click on the lamp

Saying that "it's to make the monsters away"

Like... What monsters? Did his parents or... His dad or something get into his room at night?

Or that cross up his bed, does it mean he prayed for that so called "monster" not get on his room again? Or maybe... The face he makes when we click there has something to do about... Religion trauma? LIKE- DUDE!!!

THERE IS SO MUCH MORE Y'ALL CAN MAKE THEORY OF AND I NEVER SAW ONEEEE!!!

Okay, now... Coming back to that thing about having to drug a cake. Apparently he knew where the pills where hidden. It was him that hid the pills. For what? To drug a cake. But... Who was he goin to give that cake? Was that mouth one of the monsters he's so scared of? I mean... His parents? It could be. Because he knew where the pills where hidden so it could've been him that was drugged. Or maybe... He drugged himself in secret? But why??? And don't tell me it's because of something that has to do with his parents. Because it can't be that shallow. IT NEED TO HE SOMETHING DEEP, Something... SOMETHING THAT ISN'T THAT EASY TO EXPLAIN???

It might just be like- he had that pills he knew where it was hidden on his room and the cake might just be from another part of his life or something. And it was just a puzzle with no deep story in that- BUT WHAT ABOUT THE MOUTH??? ITS STILL SUS. Who was that mouth from??? Because every floor has something to do about the protagonist. Like- a trauma that he has? God! Just give me theories about it all??? I need to hear the others opinions!!! PLEASE COMMENT ABOUT IT.

Kind of a preview for something I'm working on where I'm throwing the animaniacs into various anime I watch/have watched and letting chaos ensue.

Starting, of course, with the Big Fish, One Piece! Made a mock title themed around Yakko, since he's the self proclaimed leader.

On this pirate ship, they use anvils instead of anchors bc I said so lmao

#my art #animaniacs #yakko warner #should I even tag this as one piece? lmao #eh #it'll probably appear there anyhow #imagining the warners in OP is actually kind of funny bc the main protag of OP is already this wild cartoon character of a man #I think the creator even themed his powers around cartoon characters #their cartoon logic won't help them here #or will it...?

[phantomronpa]

#feel free to explain your answer in a reblog or in my askbox! im curious #the last option is because i personally feel that way lmao #im including Kaede because i see her as a protag even though I've seen some people say she doesn't count as one #this has probably been done many times before but eh #danganronpa #danganronpa thh #danganronpa sdr2 #danganronpa v3 #danganronpa udg #makoto naegi #hajime hinata #komaru naegi #kaede akamatsu #shuichi saihara

[chipistrate]

Okay but IF Cassie's dad is the protagonist, what if GGY is still the antagonist and it's revealed at the end that GGY killed Cassie's dad

#Chip Chatter #pre help wanted 2 #I doubt Cassie's dad protag more and more by the day tbh #it's a training simulator- he had already been a technician for assumedly quite awhile #what useful information could we get from him being the protag? We wouldn't even learn the one mystery/question there is about him; #where he went. #but eh #just an idea

[dapper-lil-arts]

Y'know, Luna is technically the most powerful character on the show. How do you even counter Dreamwalking?

That's not factual at all, just don't fall asleep lol

#eh i'm pretty sure when it comes down to it theres more stronger characters. be it protags or bad guys.

[rookflower]

some sunbeam sketches to go with the frostpaw and nightheart ones i've done!

#sunbeam #warrior cats #a starless clan #asc #warriors #lightleap #blazefire #probablyyyy my middle fav of the three new protags.. #idk i feel like she has more personality than frostpaw but frostpaw's chapters are so standout i can excuse her camera-ness so far tbh #theyre pretty neck and neck. depends how frostpaw is characterised now things are maybe slightly less hectic in her chapters #both definitely above night who i Actively Dislike so far but eh ill need to read sky when i get my hands on a pdf of it proper #shoutout to lightleap tho mvp of asc shes so funny #anyways maybe my last drawing of my teenagehood yippeeee

Ok so Bittercold and Dark Matter. I am not over this.

(This became a sort of analysis of GTI's themes too LMAO)

My issue with Dark Matter is that there was little build up to it. I'm not talking about it's actual presence, but rather what it represents. "The negative feelings of all pokemon" then where was this negativity in the story?

I understand that the main theme of Super was connections and all. The protag duo helping and being helped by different pokemon are a consistent Thing in the plot. The climactic fight with Dark Matter involves pokemon coming together to stop its ascent.

But I ask again, where was the negativity that Dark Matter was apparently born from within the story? Krookodile?? The Partner having self-doubt?? Pancham and Shelmet being mean?? Nuzleaf and co??? These are all less "incidents of negativity the Dark Matter was born from" and more "general plot events/stuff the villains do".

So it feels like the concept of the Dark Matter feels like it came out of nowhere.

Compare it to how GTI handles the Bittercold. It's the manifestation of all pokemon's collective desire for the end of everything. The loss of hope for better circumstances. And is there narrative build up to this? As a matter of fact, yes!

From the beginning, it's established that the pokemon world in GTI is becoming more and more selfish/dangerous/distrustful etc etc. Gurdurr's and Verizion's arcs connect to this, with both of them choosing to close themselves off from the world. Dunsparce's arc too, to a lesser extent. His first few attempts to get "stronger" end in trouble, almost as if being discourages from having hope to achieving his dream. It isn't until they meet the Protag duo that they have their Character Development™

It all connects to the overall theme of "Believing in other people" and having hope in the face of uncertain circumstances and pessimistic fatalism--which is the opposite "side" in the story, represented by the Bittercold itself, as well as Kyurem and Munna's gang.

We get to see the effects/source of the Bittercold ourselves because we got dialogue like this:

(screenshot courtesy of @rutabga)

AND because characters losing hope/being unwilling to trust others happens several times in the story. Even during the climax.

In other words, the feelings that makes up that the Bittercold is composed of is present throughout the story. So when the Bittercold itself was actually introduced, it made sense for when it was explained what it truly was.

THIS is the build up I was looking for with Dark Matter.

The final stretch of the Player being supported by the voices of the Partner and other pokemon in Paradise/Post Town hits SO much harder compared to Super because of this, despite having less people.

And you know what else? The Bittercold itself could be considered a narrative foil to the Partner. Partner's goal is to make a pokemon Paradise and help others--the ideological opposite of the Bittercold (or rather, what it represents). AND IT'S GOOD!! it gives the Partner so much more Narrative Depth and I love it.

Even the concept of it specifically being ice and found within a glacier dome is sorta neat? A "cold" person is someone who remains closed off from others. It's literally ice. It's found in the heart of a glacier that's isolated from the rest of the world by 1.) A castle (and Kyurem) 2.) A HUGE DOME 3.) "uncrossable" crevasses--once again tying into the idea of staying isolated from the rest of the world.

In conclusion: Dark Matter/the stuff it represents doesn't have much of a presence in the narrative and thus makes Super's narrative as a whole weaker. Meanwhile, I hate the Bittercold as a boss fight but goddamn is it great as a symbolic entity and ties together the themes of the game.

hey do you like Elevator Hitch? do you like the doppelgangers in the Stranger Danger ending?

then read my fic, I Palindrome I! it’s a short oneshot (under 1000 words) told from the first person POV of the Fake Protagonist, detailing what is was like for him to be stuck on the elevator with no buttons!

i posted this fic on Ao3 a while ago, but i kept on procrastinating on sharing it … so now i’m finally posting it!

Ok so i think another fun thing with Shadow is in Japanese the pronoun he uses is boku.

From my understanding, boku is the ‘softer’ masculine pronoun. It’s the alternative to ore, which is macho and aggressive. By comparison, boku is modest and unassertive.

Traditionally, it was first used by servants, than academics. So it has a connotation of humility and considering oneself in service to others, or of being polite and sophisticated.

From what I can tell, in Japanese your first person pronoun often indicates how you view yourself. So regardless of how he acts, it seems on some level Shadow views himself as a reserved, soft, or polite person

Which I think actually tracks with the more gentle or soft spoken way he appears in the brief flashbacks we get of him in SA2

#shadow the hedgehog #sonic the hedgehog #sth #sonic #I’ve heard primarily using boku also has connotations of coming from a sheltered or privileged background #because its the first pronoun families traditionally teach their sons to use #and most boys switch to ore as they get older and hang around their peers more #Anyway in no way an expert so feel free to correct lol #i ALSO heard from one single person that boku is the pronoun used by older shonen protags from the 60s #while ore is the one used by most modern shonen protags #so it also has a lil bit of an antiquated feel #which I have NO IDEA if thats true or not #but it’d be cool #the soft spoken thing also tracks with the soft spoken lines he has in some cutscenes #but i literally think people dont notice them as much because the music drowns those lines out and not the other ones LOL #I think if I reworded it to point out how a lot of these r actually spot on for shadow this post would make more sense hmm eh hm #talking

ok. do i make the mii sona for the mii sideblog not yet made look like me (pale anxious guy with lots of brown hair) or one of the miis i made when i first played miitopia (pale anxious guy with lots of pink hair and glasses(?))

Kyle my precious after a hard day of work, he took off his shirt and is unintentionally flustering Stanley cause he’s strong undereath and can carry him with and without his powers 🥰🥰

Kyle’s scars and markings that he was unable to heal if he didn’t have the time to or if it’s slow going are golden against his dark skin, they look more like cracked crystals (like gems 💎) or Hanna markings except that they glow ✨

ALSO A PISSED OFF KYLE IF PUSHED OVER THE EDGE(if u harmed his loved ones looking at Godred,Alfred,shredder and the scientists THEN U BETTER PRAY HE SPARES U) man gets a powered up super saiyan/Sentai/goku/sonic/mob psycho 100 form his hair is literally all over gold dust,glowing eyes etc he’s going all out and it’s gotta be a curvestop battle with a flick of his finger

I got into Hikago because I am a dub nerd that likes to analyze anime/cartoon Latinoamerican Spanish's dubs and Hikago got dubbed for the first time this year

I guess it's an understatement to say that the dub was fairly good aside from some small mistakes

#Hikaru no go #the biggest mistake was some missing dialogues and #akira got a different voice for a single episode which was wtf #ah #kawai did too #it was confusing #but eh #the rest of the dub was good enough for me to forgive it #Sai's got the cutest voice ever #and hikaru has brat voice #so pretty good #Akira's VA was clearly the least experienced of the protags while Hikaru's was the most experienced #he clearly struggled to make his voice sound young but it got better as the anime progressed
