I’m fully prepared to write the most self indulgent analysis on why Howard’s autistic.

Also, if I brought back my meta-analysis on Randy and Howard’s relationship, would anyone be interested in that?

new fav ship prospect is buddy and fabian. imagine growing up intensely religious and conservative and not only do you end up with rich asshole bisexual disaster boyfriend but he sincerely suggests you meet his godless hellish pirate devil prince father. there’s something very charming in all that.

Oh my lord the trailer. I fear that I'm not ready. I fear I will not make it. I fear we are cooked. Lord.

I've been drawing them separate a lot recently

^ POV your brother dies and the only person who talks about it is Lightbulb and she makes a fart joke

I love deranged Yin. I like exploring the aftermath of the "only one of them dies" scenario and these two pics are very indulgent

And a Candle x Yinyang doodle I did for my friend!!

Who is Luzu?

Luzu was just announced as a QSMP member, and since he's a very important character in Karmaland and a VERY important person to Quackity's character, here's a quick rundown of Luzu and his lore for folks who aren't familiar with him:

Luzu is played by LuzuVlogs, a Spanish Twitch streamer who's good friends with Quackity!

IRL, they're such good friends that Luzu once accidentally called his real life son "Quackity"

Luzu is bilingual and can speak English and Spanish.

Luzu's character used to be a very kind, friendly, and loving man who helped everyone

HOWEVER, during Karmaland 4 (the season before Quackity joined) when he campaigned to be mayor of Karmaland, he was betrayed and mocked by his friends and the person he loved (who then ran off with someone else)

Luzu before the elections vs. after the elections

These two animatics sum up his K4 lore pretty well if you want an even shorter TLDR: Lemon Boy, Karma (an animatic approved by Luzu himself)

As a result, Luzu is a very vengeful, distrustful, and all around tragic character

Luzu canonically has an evil side, and he made a deal with "dark gods" in the past to take revenge on the people who've wronged him.

Despite all his past heartbreak and lingering anger, he immediately took a liking to Quackity when they first met.

Luzu and Quackity's Karmaland characters are parallels to each other

Luzu and Quackity were canonically in love with each other, but they were too emotionally constipated to confess their feelings despite their many, many, many romantic and borderline sexual shenanigans.

Luzu warned Quackity not to trust anyone in Karmaland except for him. But despite Luzu's deep mistrust of other people, he trusted Quackity immediately.

Luzu is a very possessive man, and very protective of Quackity.

He calls Quackity "Quacks" (both in and out of character)

He and Rubius have a long-standing rivalry, and they normally don't get along very well.

Luzu and Quackity had 4 (adopted) kids together.

When campaigning for mayor of Karmaland, Quackity asked everyone what they wanted most, and Luzu's response was, "I want you to be happy, Quackity."

HOWEVER, the day of the election, Luzu joined as an opposing candidate at the last second and stole the election from Quackity, fearing that the position in office might leave Quackity with the same trauma he had in a previous life (a life which he can only half-remember).

Luzu says everything he did, he did to protect Quackity.

TLDR: Luzu trauma-projected onto Quackity, who then started a revolution that nearly destroyed Karmaland in retaliation.

For a good TLDR of the revolution arc, “I Can’t Decide” is a good one to watch.

Even though he was furious with Luzu, Quackity told Rubius not to kill him. He’s referred to Luzu as “My 100%”, and “the best person I knew in Karmaland”, and even expressed his gratitude that Luzu was always so kind to him to Luzu himself, despite the war and despite knowing one of them would probably have to kill the other to end it.

Luzu said the song that best fits his character during the revolution arc is Bloody Mary by Lady Gaga.

Edit: This isn’t about the character, but I just saw what Luzu said in response to people asking him if he knew about the invitation:

Luzu: A mi Quackity me invitó desde hace bastante, me dijo si quería participar, así que llevo tiempo calladito, calladito, para no spoilear nada, aunque yo soy invitado no sé nada jaja, lo lleva todo Quackity, así que veremos con qué nos sorprende nuestro querido Quacks.

Translation: My Quackity invited me a long time ago, he asked me if I wanted to participate, so I've been quiet for a while, so as not to spoil anything, although I'm invited I don't know anything haha, Quackity takes everything, so we'll see what our beloved Quacks surprises us with.

Miles and Alex together in 2023 -

were a blessing from the sky. Their undeniable affection gave us a glimpse into their safe space. By not being eucte-ish in public, they proved that every form of interaction between them has been genuine, following the rules of natural growth and change. This kind of love was/is real

Every time I see a story about Hades and Persephone now, my mind starts clawing at the walls and screaming this is not what the story is supposed to be. This is not The Brand. The themeing is not there.

Demeter is not the bad guy, Hades is not the bad guy. If anything, Persephone is the bad guy. But she's not guilty, she's fated. It's a dance of themeing.

If Demeter is the bad guy, you take away the joy of summer and gratitude of spring. If Hades is the bad guy, you destroy the inevitability and softness of death. But Persephone.

The earth does not care if you die. The winter does not care if you slip on ice. The stone does not care if your ankle cracks. The world of circumstance is unkind and unapologetic. It's neither worse than Hades' death nor different; but it's to be feared. It's sudden and violent. It's a terror. The Dread Persephone.

The story of Persephone should be about self-discovery, not victimhood or tragic accidents.

Yumetober 2024 - Say 27: "We were made for each other"

"I would die for them. I would kill for them. Either way, what bliss."

I know there's like a big gap between my last Yumetober post and today's but I had a good reason that killed my motivation for a while.

oc lore time!! (yin and yang edition?!!)

When you're stuck with someone who hurts you but you're so caught up in the small nice things they do that you're willing to lookpast everything else because "of course they care, they just got a bit mad!" to the point where it takes them literally murdering you in cold blood to realize that no, your sibling did not care, and if she didn't she hasn't for a very long time.

We Get To...

We’re one, but we’re not the same. We get to carry each other, carry each other… We get to. Not we’ve got to. We get to. It reminds me of that cloyinglypoignantlycloying story about Jesus on the beach. How come there’s only one set of footprints in some parts? But what about when we carry each other? There are no footprints because when we carry each other we fly. We fly because we carry…

Listeners

the famous powerful influencers politicians fashionistas artists actors musicians

all have need of an audience

don’t the two go hand in hand?

yet the former alone garners wide attention while those who listen elude honorable mention

think about that ~

before you chide yourself for avoiding the limelight remember how daytime complements night.
