I just love the idea of taking guys that are small and treating them like heroes, treating them like Alan Ladd, almost as tall as Alan Ladd, I think he was about three inches taller than those guys. That’s what the joy of doing it was and giving these guys a chance to get out of their fucking Womble costumes and R2-D2 tin cans and be people. And they all rose to the occasion, they were all brilliant. —Terry Gilliam
Nu carnival is a great game because you have so many things being represented such as
Garu and Karu - System rep with a pretty good writing and a trauma behind their system forming. dumb puppyboy rep
Rei - Hypersexuality and the dehumanization of self to the point you view sex as nothing more than a coin for a certain time. brat power bottom who can't shut up
Olivine - Religious guilt and finding your own place in society without others expectations. huge tits (bottom version)
Yakumo - The struggles of controlling oneself to not hurt those who you love while also learning to accept others love. constant struggler disorder
Edmond - Repressed sexual desires and learning to embrace those and be yourself among those you trust. anime tsundere disorder
Aster - Being 'born' out of necessity and need to someone to eventually have them leave you with no reasonings or explanations with you having to solve things on your own, without someone you depended on. capitalist transmasc twink
Morvay - Same as Aster but also being constantly equated to just your sexual self and having others treating you as simply that or how dumb you are when you're so much more than that. slutty bimbo (male) (not a himbo) rep
Blade - Being deemed as defective due to the way you simply behaved when still young while noticing the nature of others during that time and being made to fit the others ideals of you so you weren't left aside. being just a silly goofy guy :3
Dante - Having to assume heavy responsibilities at a young age and how this affects one in their future while also having those who don't know you judge you for your harshness when you are simply trying your best. bad dick game
Quincy - Having others taking your help while at the same time being afraid of you and keeping you at distance due to this fear. huge tits (top version), sleepy disorder
Kuya - Feeling ostracized by those you know by your simple nature and who you are as a person, being left all alone by simply feeling like no one could understand you. knotting and mpreg kink
Eiden - Growing up in an orphanage. Being in a low-key shitty workplace. Suddenly being dragged to a new place you don't know anyone in and having to adapt yourself to it. Being put responsibilities and titles upon you that you simply weren't prepared for. having others hopes put upon you while at the same time others doubt your own aptitude to the job. Being compared to someone who came before you and how you are nothing when compared to them. and perhaps the most important thing the struggles of sluts in modern gay society and having to deal with your polycule where all the members are lowkey freaks
Also, I'm so glad Edmond isn't in this summer banner with Quincy cuz the latter's stole my pities THRICE IN A ROW during the Prison Riot event. I love you Quincy, but c'mon dude, go to Kuya dangit! >:V
"That was a great opening pitch ceremony before the game today! Matthew Tkachuk from the Panthers, Jayson Tatum from the Celtics, threw out the first pitch today. Two St. Louis Champions!"
"—Thought they went to high school together, they rode the bus to school together, they won Championships in the same year. That's pretty amazing!"
"Well Tatum's one-uped him, he's got a gold medal too. From the Olympics."
"Yeah, that's true... So I went downstairs today to go say, 'Hi,' to Keith Tkachuk, obviously, and Matthew. I have this picture of Keith and I, and Matthew when he was 5 years old in front of my locker. So we reincarnated the picture today."
"Oh, did you?"
"Yeah, it was pretty funny—except for Matthew was a little too tall to stand on the chair this time, and Keith has gained a few pounds as he said. But still one of the greatest people—I think—that will ever be around this city—right there, that guy, Keith Tkachuk.
There's his son, Matthew, right there. What a great family! I always say the star of their family is Mrs. Tkachuk. Chantal is, obviously the mom, and she is the star of the show—"

man. man....the way dantes's Count of Monte Cristo spirit origin exists because of guda obliterates me man. im going to be sick he literally mutilated himself, cut pieces off himself and even altered his spirit origin JUST FOR guda.................that's why you see his labels in the begining as "Man with Cracks" or in like the CG here where he takes off his mask, not to mention his first costume when you summon him (this one below) his hand is a prosthetic. thats why it looks unnatural. bigger than his other arm. his entire arm is gone because he needed his plan - extremely, highly, risky as it was - to work.
everyday i learn more about dantes in the new chapter and fall for him more and more (<- already past insanity)
I need to rant about the count of monte cristo: he's honestly terrifying. Franz describes him several times as "pale as a vampire", like a savage beast, the count monologues about how much he hates mankind a lady in Rome thinks he's a vampire and almost faints
I find it fascinating he's beautiful and creepy and menacing and that's when he's closest to being god's justice
so I started reading Le comte de Monte Cristo... was anybody going to tell me that Edmond was so incredibly fucking cute in that opening or was I just supposed to find out by myself ? 😭
