Chapter Five: Seeing Red

Magolor and Elfilin headed outside towards the lake behind Kirby’s house. Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee were already there tossing some pool toys into the water. Kirby saw them and waved at them.

“Over here!” He called out enthusiastically.

Elfilin smiled and picked up his pace. Magolor, on the other hand, seemed to slow down to a complete halt. He glanced at the water and shuddered a bit. He shook it off and continued to follow Elfilin.

“Oooh! This is gonna be so much fun! It’s been forever since I last went swimming! What about you, Magolor?” Elfilin said, smiling.

“Well…” Magolor began but stopped when they finally reached Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee. Kirby dashed over to them, clutching a variety of different pool toys.

"This is my favorite swimming spot, and it's right here in my own backyard!" He started. “We could race, relax or play all kinds of games! What should we do?”

While Elfilin appeared thrilled and eager to join in the fun, Magolor appeared somewhat apprehensive and worried. He was twiddling his hands together and looking around uncomfortably. Elfilin noticed his change in mood and grew worried.

“Well, all I want to do is relax!” Bandana Waddle Dee said, tossing a pool floaty into the water.

“Yeah, that sounds, great!” Elfilin twirled about happily, hoping to lift Magolor’s spirit a bit.

"Watch this, Elfilin! Here I go!"

Kirby took off running and jumped high in the air. He performed a stylish flip, then promptly landed in the water, splashing everyone around him. Magolor quickly dimensional vanished to avoid getting wet, while Elfilin and Bandana Waddle Dee got a face full of water. They seemed to quickly laugh it off, but Magolor looked more annoyed than humored. 

Bandana Waddle Dee jumped into a floaty and swam over to Kirby. They playfully splashed each other around, then returned their attention to Magolor and Elfilin.

“Come on, guys! The water is great!” Kirby said sending a splash their way. Elfilin turned to Magolor and smiled, bouncing with glee.

“Are you ready!?” He said bursting with excitement. Magolor leaned forward and caught a glimpse of his reflection in the water. He glanced over at Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee and smiled nervously.

“Eh…You know what?…I think I’ll sit this one out. Go on without me little dude!” Magolor said as he backed away slowly from the water.

"Go…without you?" Elfilin said disappointed.

“Is something wrong?”

“It’s not that! It’s just, well…I only brought this one outfit, you know? I’d hate to get it all wet.” Magolor said nervously clutching his cape.

“Elfilin! Magolor! Are you two coming?” Kirby called out waving his hand at them.

Elfilin kept glancing between Magolor and Kirby, his eyes growing sadder and sadder.

“Hey, it’s alright! Go have fun with Kirby! I’ll just wait right here!” Magolor plopped down near the edge of the pond under a big, leafy tree.

“Hey, what’s the hold up!?” Kirby asked swimming over towards them. Bandana Waddle Dee remained where he was, hopeful that Magolor would indeed not join them.

“It’s fine, really...I’m just….not a fan of swimming…sorry. Besides, I’m pretty exhausted after running errands for you all day. I could use a break. I’ll just hang out here for now. Go have fun!”

“Are you sure?”

“Yep! Super sure.” He said nodding his head.

“Well…alright then, Magolor. I hope you change your mind and join us though! I don’t want you to feel left out of the fun or anything!”

“Kirby, I insist it’s alright! Really. Go splash around with your friends! I don’t mind a bit.”

“Well, we’ll be right over here if you change your mind, Magolor!” Kirby swam back towards Bandana Waddle Dee. Elfilin floated towards the water but stopped one last time.

“Hey, are you sure you’re alright?”

“I’m fine! Really. I mean… No, I’m fine.”

“… Is there something you need to talk about? You can tell me, Magolor!” Elfilin floated closer to him.

Magolor sighed deeply and looked up at Elfilin with sad eyes.

"Well, it's just that…I guess I’m just a little annoyed about how no one seems to respect me around here. I mean, what’s with everyone giving me the third degree all the time? Sure, no one’s perfect, but I’m not such a bad guy, am I?" He stated dramatically, sulking his head down low. 

“What!? No way! You’re not a bad guy at all! You’re awesome!…Super awesome, even!” Elfilin exclaimed.

"I wish more folks around here felt the same way!…You know your friend Bandana Waddle Dee over there?"

Magolor glanced over at him, who was too busy having fun with Kirby to notice he was being talked about.

"He’s always been so cruel to me." Magolor said before turning his back to Elfilin for a brief moment. He appeared to wipe his eyes with his hands. He quickly turned back around, now crying with tears pouring down his face and dripping onto the ground. 

“…He and so many others!… No one wants to give someone like me a chance!” Magolor shook his fists dramatically as he choked on his words. Elfilin frowned sadly as he listened to him lament.

“Even with Kirby’s forgiveness, it just wasn’t enough to regain the trust of everyone. I’m still treated like a complete outcast. No matter what I do, it’s just not enough to be accepted.” Magolor’s usual soft and sweet voice was now somber and low. He sighed and looked over at Kirby, who was blissfully unaware they were still talking to each other, splashing about without a care in the world.

“You and Kirby…you’re the only ones who gave me a chance. The only ones who accepted my friendship. It’s all I ever wanted…”

“Magolor…You know, I’m kind of an outcast too…I know how it feels. But you’re not alone. I’m here for you!” Elfilin smiled and nodded at a Magolor. He then wiped the last of his tears away. He returned a smile to Elfilin.

“Your friendship truly means everything to me, Little Dude. Thank you.”

Elfilin blushed, his eyes wide and sparkling.

“Wow… Do you really mean that!?!…You can always count on me, Magolor! I’m glad to be your friend!!”

Magolor smiled and looked over at Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee who were busy swimming not too far from them.

“Well, I’m sure Kirby is eager for you to join them over there! Go have fun!” Magolor said, nodding his head.

“Well…alright then! See ya in a bit!” Elfilin waved goodbye and then turned towards the pond. He floated over the water to Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee who were relaxing in the cool, clean water.

“Hey, Elfilin!” Kirby said enthusiastically.

“Wow, Kirby! This is such a neat little pond! It’s just like the one back at home where we would go fishing!” Elflin playfully splashed around and swam all through the water. He flew back up and spun around sending a small splash of water around.

“Yeah! We always had a blast fishing together! I’m really glad you’re having so much fun, Elfilin!” Kirby said happily.

“Are you enjoying it here on Pop Star?” Bandana Waddle Dee asked.

“I sure am! It’s so nice here! And so pretty! You sure have a real great home here, Kirby! I can see why Magolor loves it here so much!”

Bandana Waddle Dee scowled at the sound of his name.

“Magolor!? Ugh. I miss the way things were before he showed up…”

Elfilin frowned.

Bandana Waddle Dee really doesn’t like Magolor… I wish there was something I could do…

“Hey! Speaking of Magolor… What were the two of you talking about over there?” Kirby asked.

“Oh!…well…” Elfilin glanced over to Magolor who had his back towards them not paying attention at all.

“Well, I suppose…if you really wanna know…He told me that he feels a little upset that he is still treated like an outcast around Dream Land. He said no one will accept his friendship.”

Bandana Waddle Dee suddenly flailed about and swam away from the two of them in a hurry.

“What’s wrong!?” Kirby asked, shocked at his friends sudden burst of anxiety.

Bandana Waddle Dee-terrified of being caught discussing Magolor behind his back again, nervously glanced over at the wizard, who was still sitting alone with his back turned towards them.

“I…just…I felt something brush my foot!…Sorry about that!” He chuckled nervously.

“Hey, Bandana Waddle Dee! Why don’t you go over and talk to Magolor?” Elfilin said.

“WHAT!? Why would I want to do that!?”

“Well, he seemed especially upset that you refuse to forgive him over what happened when you all first met!”

“ELFILIN!!!- Please…keep…your voice…down..” Bandana Waddle said anxiously flailing about, his voice growing muffled with every word.

“You know, he does look pretty sad sitting all alone over there. Maybe you should go talk to him!” Kirby said.

“What?! Not you too, Kirby!”

“It would probably cheer him up! He’s a nice guy after all! Just go talk to him!”

“Why don’t you go talk to him, Kirby? He likes you…a LOT more than he likes me.”

“That’s not true! Don’t be ridiculous. Magolor likes you, he is just…well, he’s weird.”

“Weird doesn’t even begin to cover it!”

Bandana Waddle Dee sighed and pondered to himself.

Magolor is a complete jerk! He hates me and I hate him! Well…I don’t know. Maybe I don’t hate him… Hate is a strong word. But he is a jerk! That much is true. But…maybe I am being too hard on him…If Kirby can forgive him, so should I, right?… He does look pretty pitiful over there doesn’t he?Maybe I should apologize and we could put an end to this bitter rivalry right here, right now!… Elfilin would be so happy! A fresh start! I just… have to talk to him… That’s all! You can do this, Bandana Waddle Dee!

“Alright then, fine! I’ll go talk to him. But if he doesn’t care about what I have to say, then there’s nothing I can do!”

“I’m sure he’ll appreciate every word! It would mean a lot to him! Thank you, Bandana Waddle Dee!” Elfilin said with a big smile. Kirby nodded in agreement.

Bandana Waddle Dee groaned under his breath, got of the pond and slowly made his way towards Magolor. He approached him with slight hesitation unsure of how to proceed.

“M-Magolor?…” He said softly. Magolor, seemed to be daydreaming and not paying a bit of attention to Bandana Waddle Dee. He took a few steps closer to him and raised his voice slightly.

“Magolor?…” he said taking another step closer to him.

Is he ignoring me?…Grrr. This guy is the worst. Why am I even doing this?

“Magolor!”

“What…do you want?” Magolor said, just slightly turning his face towards him.

“Oh- I’m sorry..I don’t mean to intrude I just…”

“I am trying to focus and you’re distracting me.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I just…wanted to say…” Bandana Waddle Dee kept stumbling over his words, growing more nervous and intimidated by the second.

“Well?” Magolor said, now clearly annoyed.

“Magolor, listen. I just…wanted to say…well…I’m so-”

Magolor rose slowly and turned around to face Bandana Waddle Dee. He cupped his hands together, performing his signature nod.

“Oh, just save it, Bandana Waddle Dee. I know what you’re trying to do.” He said coldly.

“…What!? I’m just-“

“Look…I know you’re here to ‘apologize’, so you can go back over to the Little Dude there and tell him all about how you’ve forgiven me! Is that right?” Magolor remarked, nodding his head quickly.

“No! Wait-I- I mean-“

“You don’t like me, and that’s fine. Truth be told, I don’t like you either. In fact, you really get on my nerves. I wish Kirby could see you for who you truly are. So mean…so cruel. To be honest, you’re just a big bully.” Magolor went on.

Bandana Waddle Dee stood stiff as a board as he took Magolors torrent of words head on. Over in the pond, Kirby and Elfilin could see them from but couldn’t hear anything being said.

“Sorry, but I’m not interested in your forgiveness or your friendship. I have Kirby and now, I have Elfilin, too. Whether you dislike me because of my actions in the past, or you resent me due to my status in Kirby’s life, it doesn’t make a difference to me.”

Bandana Waddle Dee’s face began to turn red. He started trembling from the anger building up inside of him. Magolor's verbal attack was getting too much for him to bear.

“I appreciate it, really. But you can keep your apology. I’m not- …W-What are you doing? Hey!…Get away from me! HEY!!!!”

*** SPLASH!!!! ***

Kirby and Elfilin heard a panicked yelp followed by a loud splash in the water. They looked over to see Bandana Waddle Dee standing at the edge of the pond- alone. He appeared flustered and his face was bright red. Magolor was no where in sight. Elfilin then watched as a slew of bubbles rose to the surface of the pond.

“Bandana Waddle Dee?…What was that!?” Kirby shouted.

Kirby's voice seemed to shake Bandana Waddle Dee out of the rage-induced trance he was in.

He shook his head quickly then looked down into the water with trepidation.

Oh, no…What have I done!?

“Hey! What happened to Magolor?” Elfilin cried out.

Bandana Waddle Dee gulped nervously and tried attempting to speak. His was voice was anxious and shaky.

“He…he…” Bandana Waddle Dee kept choking up as he struggled to get even one word out.

“It…it happened so fast! I- I didn’t mean to do it!” he said, his voice cracking.

“Just tell me what happened, Bandana Waddle Dee!” Kirby asked as Elfilin kept looking for a sign of Magolor.

“I…I…”

Before Bandana Waddle Dee could muster up another word, Magolor appeared right behind him instantly. He could feel his presence but was far too frightened to turn around. Magolor was soaking wet, dripping water from his ears all the way down his cape. There was a fierce look of rage in his eyes. Bandana Waddle Dee turned to him slowly, as pale as a ghost.

“Magolor…I…I’m sorry! I didn’t mean too-“

“You…You HOOLIGAN!” Magolor shouted, clenching his fists angrily.

Bandana Waddle Dee began to shake with fear. Before this, Elfilin had never seen Magolor show such anger. It sent chills down his spine.

“Magolor, I- I didn’t mean to do that! I was just- we were talking…and… and I-”

“What is wrong with you? Are you MAD!?” Magolor yelled flailing his hands about.

“Oh, no!” Kirby hastily exited the pond and came rushing towards his two arguing friends.

“Magolor, I…I’m so sorry! Please forgive me! It…It was an accident!” Bandana Waddle Dee said nervously waving his hands at him.

“An accident?! That was no accident! Let me show you what a real accident looks like-“

“Magolor!”

Kirby rushed over to Magolor and laid a kind hand on his shoulder. The hostile look in his eyes softened immediately and he quickly regained his composure. Kirby looked to Bandana Waddle Dee who was still on the ground cowering in fear. After a moment, Magolor sighed deeply and pulled Kirby’s hand off his shoulder. He then- to everyone’s shock-starting smiling and clapping. Kirby and Elfilin exchanged puzzled looks. Magolor, still dripping, sopping wet, dusted himself off and then smiled to his friends, nodding his head in delight.

“Well, it looks like I may have lost my temper there. My deepest apologies.”

He turned to Bandana Waddle Dee and clapped his hands happily once again.

“Oooh, that was a good one, Bandana Waddle Dee! You really got me!” He said still clapping.

Elfilin was a little perplexed by Magolor's rapid mood shift. He continued to stare in bewilderment.

Magolor then helped Bandana Waddle Dee in getting up and even brushed some dirt off of him. Kirby rushed to his side to lend a hand.

“Are you okay?” Kirby asked him.

“Yeah, Kirby, I’m fine. Thanks…”

Kirby exchanged glances with the two of them.

“Bandana Waddle Dee… You didn’t push him, did you?”

Bandana Waddle Dee let out a sad sigh and looked down in shame. Magolor, still completely drenched in pond water laid a firm hand on his shoulder and laughed.

“Oh, Kirby! We were just goofing off! You know, having some fun!” Magolor said, playfully jabbing Bandana Waddle Dee on the side a few times.

“Hmmm. I don’t know if I believe you. It sure didn’t look like goofing off to me.” Kirby said sternly.

Elfilin still felt a little shaken up over witnessing Magolor’s outburst. It was rather shocking considering that Magolor had been nothing but friendly and kind to him. He began to feel slightly worried. It was hard watching two of his good friends argue and not get along.

What if the things everyone said about Magolor being a bad guy are true?

“No, Kirby. It’s fine. Really…” Bandana Waddle Dee remarked as he shot a dirty look towards Magolor.

“See, Kirby? It’s fine! Nothing to worry about at all!” Magolor wrapped his wet hand around Bandana Waddle Dee and pulled him in closer.

“What was that splash, then? You’re all wet, I thought you didn’t want to swim?”

Bandana Waddle Dee pinched his brow and glared at the ground, his eyes scrunched shut.

“Kirby…I pushed him-“

“-Pushed me to let go and have fun! Kirby, you really do have great taste in friends! Bandana Waddle Dee here sure has a way with words!” Magolor said while giving him a rather aggressive pat on the back. Kirby remained doubtful.

“Magolor, are you telling the truth?” Kirby asked.

“Of course I am! Remember Kirby, I don’t lie anymore!”

Elfilin pondered Magolor’s statement.

He’s said that a few times now… ‘I don’t lie anymore…’ He must really have a bad history of telling lies… He lied to that shopkeeper… He lied to Meta Knight… You don’t think he’d… He isn’t… No! He would never lie to me! Friends don’t do that to their friends! Right?…

Kirby turned back to Bandana Waddle Dee.

“Is that really what happened? I know you’ll tell me the truth!”

Magolor appeared slightly offended by Kirby's statement, but maintained his cool nonetheless.

Bandana Waddle Dee could have taken this opportunity to finally tell Kirby and Elfilin about Magolor's rude and hateful remarks, but he chose to play along with Magolor's ruse. After all, it's only for the weekend. It's the least he can do for Elfilin.

“…He’s telling the truth, Kirby. Besides…I was only…kidding.” Bandana Waddle Dee said glaring at Magolor, slightly grinning.

Kirby smiled bounced around happily.

“Alright then! If everything is all right here then, come on let’s go!” Kirby anxiously ran back to the pond but stopped when he realized no one was following him.

“Are you guys coming!?”

Elfilin watched Bandana Waddle Dee and Magolor who were now caught up in an intense stare down.

“Are- are you coming?…” he said softly hoping to break the tension.

A smile creeped up on Magolor’s face and he began to laugh a little.

“Actually, Little Dude. I have an idea! Hang tight.”

Magolor floated up and turned towards Kirby. He cupped his hands together and nodded his head with a smile.

“Hey, Kirby! I think we’ve all had enough swimming for one day, wouldn’t you agree? I have a really good idea for a fun, new game all 4 of us could all play together!”

“Oh, really? What kind of game!?” Kirby said, his eyes shining brightly.

“I’ll tell you all about it once we go back inside! Trust me, it’s going to be a LOT of fun!” Magolor twirled with delight.

“Oh, wow! A fun, new game!?! That sounds exciting! I’ll hurry up and clean this mess up so we can head back inside!”

Kirby ran back and gathered up the pool toys. Elfilin followed him to help. Bandana Waddle Dee turned around to see Magolor now standing close behind him.

“Magolor!” He shrieked in surprise, still not quite used to Magolor’s casual use of his Dimensional Vanish.

Magolor held his hands together and nodded his head at him.

“Well, it looks as though you’re not nearly as spineless as I thought you were. Good for you!”

Magolor wringed out the excess water from his cape then splashed it in Bandana Waddle Dees face.

"However…" Magolor's tone of voice changed dramatically, becoming more serious and cryptic.

“Just know I’ll be planning my revenge for this.”

“R-revenge!?” Bandana Waddle Dee gasped.

“Of course! You didn’t think I’d just let you get away with pulling a stunt like that on me? Heeheehee… And here I thought you were smarter than that.”

“But- I said I was sorry!”

“You humiliated me in front of my good friends. Not to mention I’m freezing and soaking wet because of you. I could have drowned you know!”

Magolor tightened his grip on his cape, squeezing out more excess water.

“Yep! I’ll definitely get you back for this one.”

Magolor walked past Bandana Waddle Dee towards Kirby’s house covering his face as he tried to muffle his laughter.

“…and when you least expect it too! Hehehe! See you around…friend.”

Magolor winked at him, then floated off into Kirby's house, leaving Bandana Waddle Dee transfixed in fear.

Oh man… Why me!?

He plopped to the ground in anguish with nothing to do but wait for Kirby and Elfilin who were busy fishing out the pool toys from the pond.

Kirby seemed eager to move on, moving quickly and using his mighty inhale to suck up all the toys from the water quickly. They managed to get everything into a pile. Elfilin picked up as many as he could carry.

“Hey Kirby…Can I ask you something.. Something about Magolor?”

“Sure Elfilin, what is it?”

Elfilin pondered for a moment then shook his head, unable to find the right words.

“Actually, I think I’ll just ask him myself. Sorry…” he said softly.

“You know, Magolor really seems to like you a whole lot!” Kirby said.

“Really!?” Elfilin exclaimed, his hands flapping with joy.

“I can tell he really appreciates your kindness. You know, he doesn’t really have a lot of friends.”

“Why is that, Kirby? He’s so nice and really friendly. Why does everyone treat him the way they do?”

“I’ve known him for a while now, and he can be a really great friend when he wants to be! It’s just…well…”

“… Well?…”

“He was a lot different when we first met. You never got to see the side of him that we all saw.”

Kirby’s voice grew soft and solemn.

“I know he’s sorry for what he did. In fact, he really has changed! He’s not lying about that. He still did some pretty horrible things though. But I forgive him. I want to help him be better but he falls into his old habits a lot. He really does mean well, he just… Has a funny way of showing it I guess.”

“Well Kirby, I think it’s really cool that you can forgive him for betraying you the way he did.”

Kirby stared at Elfilin, his eyes wide with shock.

“Wait a minute, how do you know about that!?”

“Uhhh, what? No! I mean-”

“Hey, Kirby! Need any help?” Bandana Waddle Dee said running over to them.

“Oh, thanks Bandana Waddle Dee!” Kirby said smiling. Elfilin sighed in relief, hoping Kirby would forget what they were discussing.

The 3 friends gathered up the pool toys and retreated for Kirby’s home. They left the toys out in the sun to dry off and headed inside. Magolor already there was waiting for them. He nodded happily upon seeing them walk inside.

The three friends gathered the pool toys and headed back to Kirby's house. They quickly went in after setting the toys out in a sunny spot to dry. Inside, Magolor was already waiting for them. When he saw them enter, he happily nodded.

“It’s about time! I’ve been waiting!” Magolor was pacing about the room eagerly. Bandana Waddle Dee rolled his eyes and slouched on the couch, exhausted.

“Well, Magolor, what’s this exciting game you have planned!?” Kirby exclaimed, his eyes shining brightly as ever.

“Oh, it’s one of my all time favorites! You’re gonna love it!” Magolor clapped his hands with excitement. He smiled and nodded as Kirby and Elfilin sat down next to Bandana Waddle Dee.

“Prepare for some real fun. Are you ready?” Magolor exclaimed.

“The name of the game is….

Truth or dare!!!”

“When I lost you, I was lost too, in this place… In this place, there’s something (nothing) more…” — This Place by Nicolas Snyder

Rewatched “Scavenger’s Reign” and it gave me the urge to draw something in a way inspired by the beautiful landscapes in the series. I’m out of practice with environmental illustrations, but this was a very calming one to make.

Trees so tall their canopies are lost to the eye, but their seeds drift down in gentle light and land among stones jutting from the ground. Not many beings get to witness it.

Creatures smirk bc i can't get him out of my head

[chuuzmii]

Man i just think its crazy that we have seen multiple different people come out and explicitly say "we wanted to make eddie queer!! We have been trying to make him queer!" and yet people still go "no.. no way he was written as heterosexual hes a heterosexual male" like the level of copium is kinda crazy to me. Like we do remember eddie was the first choice for a coming out right? Right? Like when they thought of coming out they thought eddie it's just that somewhere in the middle of that they switched it to Buck. But like they CHOSE him. You can't say eddie was written as a heterosexual male when literally everybody else has said they've been wanting him to be queer. Like they clearly had to have been putting a lil sumn queer in the text for their first choice at a coming out to be eddie. But idk.. maybe thats just me

one of the things that fascinate me about thawne: yes, he CAN be normal with kids! surprisingly normal!

((not at all times, though. his mental illness still spills through and as usual he, in trying to manipulate or hurt others, spits out at them the exact stuff that would hurt him (or have in his childhood/barry's rejection interpretation) the most in the first place lmao))

but at the same time. his like second instinct when doing his bullshit is FUCK THEM (as) KIDS

(and, well. whatever this classifies as)

kids when they hear that their dad is back in town VS. kids when theyre hanging out with a conman that accidentally stole their wallet once

I was rewatching mouthwashing, and I ended up thinking of the different reactions that Curly and Jimmy had in doing their tasks. How during the scene of Anya evaluating Jimmy and showing dread towards the idea of doing his evaluation, Curly was the one that offered to take it off her hands. He had no issue with adding more to his plate, because he knew - or well, thought, he knew that Jimmy wasn't going to "bullshit" with him since he's known him for a long time. When Anya hands Curly a note from Swansea, Curly goes to check out what the issue is and he takes care of it without a complaint, the only "complaint" he has is how this incident could have damaged the pods. Which is reasonable, those pods are their only way to be saved if anything tragic happens on the ship. However, in comparison to Jimmy being asked to do things, he's passive-aggressive about it. When Anya asks Jimmy if he could help her out with Curly's painkillers, he tells her that people should be worth their titles, specifically using her title as a nurse when she asked him for help and then when she says forget it, since he made her feel insecure, he still goes "Oh no, I'LL take care of it" as if he was doing a chore, a favor for her. Then, there's that part where he blows up at her for things that she didn't even ask him to do - more so the others asked him about it, like the code scanner, him deciding he needed to find the axe for the foam, and then, there's the medicine part (which when she does ask, and she reconsiders - going to do it herself, he takes that away from her). Jimmy complains about the tasks he has to do and he treats it like a big issue, a "woes me" that he has to do this and that - wanting the praise of the capital without actually doing any work. While Curly doesn't complain about it, in fact, he even mentions that he's aware of how well he is doing at his job as a Captain during that cockpit scene with him and Jimmy. If Jimmy only had to do a small amount of tasks to get irritated and annoyed at being captain, while Curly didn't which I feel like encapsulates their personalities. Curly understands what he's doing is a job, it's a responsibility, why would he complain at any point for doing what he's suppose too? Why would he be upset at people asking him to do tasks? While Jimmy on the other hand, isn't used to it at all and it's different to what he's had before and he's realizing that he doesn't actually like doing the work he has too. I just wanted to ramble about it even if it seemed kind of obvious xd

It’s obvious but it is a thing people miss or understate when trying to find parallels in Curly’s and Jimmy’s relationship/personalities.

Like the way people portray it as neither taking responsibility when it is almost split down the middle of Curly taking responsibilities and faults that shouldn’t be his and making himself unequipped to handle the ones that are while Jimmy refuses to handle the responsibilities he has because he wasn’t expecting the work that comes with them.

Not a lot to say but people forget that another thing the game comments on is prioritization of issues and responsibilities and how the guys fail at it in one way or another in the situation.
