This is kinda relating to my last post but I think some of you are mistaking Shen for an albino peacock.. cause he’s not

I mean, I don’t really blame you if you mistook him as one cause honestly I��m just a weirdo who reads wikis.

(skip everything and just read the bottom if you don’t wanna read my explanation)

.

.

Shen is a peacock with leucism, not albinism.

(Leucism definition on the left, albinism on the right)

Here’s him compared to an actual albino peacock. As you can see, the albino has a pink and white pigmentation due to a lack of melanin, whereas Shen despite being mostly white is still full of color.

(And no, it’s not because it’s a silly cartoon. The creators of KFP had originally intended to make him albino to make him look “sickly” which would explain why he was neglected by his parents. They made the decision to scrap that in favor of having him be a peacock with leucism so there was no excuse or tragic backstory to justify his entitlement and actions)

And if you REALLY don’t believe my explanation, here’s the KFP wiki page backing me up!

You know the dialogue where Astarion tells the player he forgot what color his eyes were before he was turned? In my very first playthrough I was confused by what he meant because in my head he has albinism. The moment I saw him I thought "oh cool, they added a character with albinism and he's a cool vampire!!!" and just. Ran with it. In my head, it made sense.

So when I first got to that point in the game I realized that he, in fact, is not canonically albino and that is such a missed opportunity!! You have this pale ass vampire with white hair and red eyes who's sensitive to the sun and you mean to tell me he doesn't have albinism??

The Axolotl is a being associated with death, the afterlife, and rebirth, guiding souls through to the other side and helping them reincarnate. (As far as I can find) Xolotl, the god for which the animal is named, is a psychopomp as well. Dogs, the animal he's associated with, are guides for spirits in the underworld. Additionally, he protects the sun every night as it travels through the underworld, a cyclical cycle of "death" (setting sun) and "rebirth" (rising sun). Sounds similar huh?

This makes me wonder: in the Gravity Falls universe, did mesoamericans know of The Axolotl ? Which name came first ? Did mesoamericans have the god Xolotl, made contact with The Axolotl, and give it that name ? Or did they have contact with The Axolotl, and from there it became Xolotl ? I feel like it's not a coincidence that The Axolotl and Xolotl share similar roles AND are etymologically related AND of all the things it could've looked like, it looked like an axolotl from Earth.

I just think it would be interesting...we know Bill has had impacts on human religions and civilizations, so why not other powerful beings? How might've The Axolotl contacted humans in the first place?

If you're knowledgeable about indigenous mesoamerican religions and this is inappropriate/inaccurate let me know and I'll edit or take it down.

I don't know how to put this to words, but after seeing SEVERAL posts of late about it in my dashboard, I just feel like I need to drop my two cents here

Making albino characters who are considered to be divinely blessed compared to their normally dark-skinned counterpart is fucked up. Like I'm sorry but if you decide your white-skinned drow amidst dark-skinned drow is the one who is "blessed" and "chosen" by Lolth or whatever, you REALLY need to stop for two seconds and think about what are you doing.

I never see this sorta character concept for albino characters amidst white peers. Please think a BIT about the implications of making your special whiteboy be the blessed one amidst non-white peers (for the specific reason of BEING WHITE)

That weird girl down the road who got hit by a car. Her family moved away shortly after, and the neighborhood’s been quiet ever since… save for the loud roar of a beetle’s engine as it rumbles across baked concrete, of course. The cause of her demise hasn’t truly left us, but we like to think danger as being something of the norm. Thus, the engine’s growl drowns out the sound of her voice, and come next Monday, we will be unable to recall anything about her other than the fact that she’s gone. No matter if she was too young or too odd, she was just one girl… and we have better things to worry about.
