#and the reason the fearmongering exists is because we know prison Does Not Work in the sense rehabilitation is not the goal

[sendmyresignation]

been reading about life sentences and prison abolition a lot lately (mostly visa-vi children who become lifers and the laws which allow children to be tried as adults) and its crazy how "tough on crime" politicians can't use the superpredator rhetoic anymore so they'll take One Guy and turn that person into a boogeyman which makes it impossible to enact meaningful change like. the way oregon used to have some of the most strict mandatory minimums for juvi offenders as young as 15 (which goes hand in hand with the history of oregon/northwestern exclusion of black residents and the intrinsic antiblackness in the area) and reforming this took literal decades bc politicians could fear monger about the thurston high school shooter getting out of prison (after passing a bill that prevented sentencing minors to life without parole they added an addendum which excluded anyone sentenced before 2019- trapping hundreds of others into an endless sentence just for this one imfamous prisoner) like you have to destroy the notion that One Singular Person is Evil Enough to require the human rights abuses which allow 15 year olds to basically be thrown away forever like sorry if that is the case it doesn't work!!!!

what are your headcanons for andy and panchos relationships with the other characters in the kingdom? ❤❤❤ I love your blog!!

ohhh i love this question & tysm!! 🧡

it ended up being rlly long so here’s the cut ;)

Pancho

•Julien; Julien is like a brother or cousin to Pancho! He trusts the king more than anything after Julien basically saved .. well himself, but also him. any scheme Julien comes up with that he knows Maurice wouldnt approve of, he’ll go to pancho

•Maurice; maurice has a kind of wary vibe around Pancho ever since Pancho suggested eating him on the sub in exiled. he’s suspicious of him mainly because he wants to protect Julien tho, & he cant shake that Pancho is (or was) a sleeper agent programmed with the sole purpose of killing his best friend so

•Clover: Pancho is kinda cautious around clover since she’s always round the corner ready to bust him & Andy’s schemes. when it comes down to it they DO work together as they aknowledge each others skillsets. literally pancho is the only lemur (from the kingdom) who’s beaten Clover in combat. just once though.

•Mort; Pancho just......aknowlegdes his existance. he’s there i guess. doesn’t find mort as terrifying & creepy as the average citizen but Panch has probably seen worse. or he just doesn’t care. mort also does crimes so theyre just aware of each other.

•Becca & Abner; he’s kinda friends with them cus Andy’s friends with them. he goes round to deliver them stuff sometimes like moonshine or weapons from Andy. He probably shouldn’t pay too much attention to their government conspiracy theories though, they tend to really freak his paranoid ass out

•Timo; Timo is scared of Pancho or at least wary. He admittadly would like to study him tho & Panch is often a great help to him doing manual labour for any of Timo’s big projects

•Masikura; she mindmelded with him once & swore never again. she just doesn’t wanna know.

•Ted; Ted has a lil crush on Pancho (he’s one of Ted’s many crushes) & Panch will lightly flirt with him sometimes when he’s in the mood to. Pancho will bicker & grouch with him but they are really tight friends especially after their time together during exiled.

•Dorothy; at first she saw Pancho as this ideal bad boy type, but then realised how bad he smells cus he hates bathing. She’ll offer him tea like she does with everyone & (begrudingly often) lets him crash with her & Ted when they all stumble back drunk after a night out. Literally her & Ted both just have a mutual crush on Pancho is that not canon though

•Willie; despite being mean to Willie like EVERYONE ELSE IS Pancho and Willie are quite good friends. He’ll go stay with him whenever he’s worried about something cus he knows Willie will understand. sometime’s he’s too panicky for Pancho to be around though cus it sets him off

•Hector; I WANT THEM TO BOND OVER MILITARY HARDSHIPS & EXPERIENCE I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL & HEALING FOR THE BOTH OF THEM! I should write about this sometime..........

•Horst; the DJ friend who he can always have a crazy sesh with; they actually get along pretty good. except when Pancho’s out here stealing his bolos. Like with everyone, Horst just rambles to Pancho when he’s drunk.

•Tammy, Butterfish & Todd; no real connection to them besides that him & Butterfish will often do the same jobs. They usually just make casual work chat. Tammy thinks Pancho is posessed by demons but he doesn’t let that phase him.

•Karl: he’s not rlly a “kingdom citizen” but he’s about there enough so. anyway Pancho just doesn’t treat Karl like the evil genius villain he portrays at all, since Pancho’s own morality is in the grey area, which kinda infuriates Karl that Pancho just talks to him like hes a normal person. he wants Julien’s people to FEAR HIM!!

•Dr. S; Absolutely not. they don’t even really have a friendship of any kind & Pancho is terrified of going to see the doctor as Dr. S literally experiments on lemurs...he’s not about that after what happened with the previous king.......Andy often has to drag him to the hospital kicking & biting to get him to go to checkups

•Nurse Phantom; u know what they’ve never interacted in canon but I think Nurse Phantom senses how troubled & anxious he is & takes a lot of time to talk to Pancho like if ever Andy or anyone else manages to drag him to the hospital, Rob will hold his hand if it comes to it; he goes into major helpful mode like offering him fruit & telling him he’s gonna be alright. He’ll also scold him for getting into so many dangerous scrapes & tells him he’s gotta look after himself!

Andy

•Julien; for some reason Julien just refuses to exile him even after all the bad shit he’s done BUT i think that’s because Andy is overall helpful to him like he ignores all the weirdness for example when they walked in on him & that rat holding a body wrapped in leaves because hey! we need tropheys Andy fast! thats the issue here!! perhaps its Julien’s awful adhd memory though & he just genuinely forgets. Julien is close with Pancho of course so Andy’s been round to the plane for parties & dinner as Pancho’s +1 of sorts— heck even he can be “polite” when he has to be.

•Maurice; Momo hates him. hates him hates him theres no turning back. i mean its hard not to when most of the citizens suffer from rediculous lemur stupidity & ur the only one who can see through this bat when he’s just standing there chatting shit. Very suspicious of Andy— plus he just thinks he’s creepy

•clover; LMAO bUT .....like obviously she hates him for good reason. but i do have this hc that’s way too long to write out that after Julien, Maurice & Mort literally fucked off to go with the zoosters in madagascar 2 Clover was literally responsible for two kingdoms cus she couldnt just leave them with a gecko in charge. I just want some situation where theres a proper twist & Andy ends up mellowing the hell out & actually being useful to her & the kingdom...he has skills but he uses them for nefarious reasons. She’d probably save his life somehow in the post-Julien chaos & he’d b like....”why would YOU of all people save ME?” n she’d b like... “well you are technically a citizen of this kingdom and ....i’ve gotta make sure you’re ALL safe for when ..... if King Julien ever gets back.....”

•mort; ??? sometimes theyre legit business partners. Mort can get in on a good scam. that second rub’s gonna cost ya. theyve probably been in the same prison before at one point. Mort’s so old.

•Becca & Abner; his fellow anti-establishment pals!! he doesn’t fully believe all of their ideas & theories but he loves em cus they’ll always buy self defence scorps off him. They get along & they drink a lot together by the stagnant watering hole. they’ve seen Andy in horrible states; all 3 of them are an idiot squad when theyre together. Becca & Andy argue a lot cus even she thinks some of the things he says are wack sometimes

•Timo; i have this hc that Timo, Andy & Karl knew each other when they were kids they kinda bonded together during school cus they were three non-lemur losers who got bullied for their eccentricity & varying levels of intelligence. Timo will sometimes go to Andy for stuff but he is his last resort really

•Masikura; probably mindmelded with him once & just saw a vision of him daydreaming about being kissed by Pancho & since then she was like. “Im not scared of the bird demon he’s just a big softie. where is my shipment of “ect” for my tea, that bird demon’s late again—“

•Ted; Ted is such an easy mark he can sell almost anything to him if he’s cheery enough. Helps that Ted thinks he’s really cute so Andy can just easily sweet talk him into buying whatever dodgy product he’s got at the moment. he knows & interacts with Ted mainly through Pancho being his friend!

•Dorothy; rlly wild hc actually that Dorothy used to be a propper crime don before she settled down with Ted— or when Ted was shifting into Snake more frequently back in the day for whatever reason—so Andy knows her from the criminal underworld. Cus of this he’s very respectful towards her... he’s seen what she’s capable of

•Willie; Andy could walk round the corner with his wings outstretched & say “boo” & Willie would pass out from shock. He’s also very easy for Andy to sell to- his fearmongering really works on Willie he’s very suseptable to it

•Hector; Hector doesn’t take any of Andy’s crap he’d probably just hit him with a broom if he came round his hut to sell him dodgy hand cream honestly

•Horst; Andy keeps him topped up with a steady supply of beverages...........Horst will actually sometimes ask him & Pancho for help with importing various new vinyl records

•Tammy, Butterfish & Todd; that family buys a LOT of product off him since they’re just typical americans basically he finds it rlly easy & reliable to sell stuff like drinks & toys to them. Tammy kinda hates Andy though & like Pancho, thinks he’s a demon. Doesn’t help that Mort nicknamed him “bird demon”.

•Karl; like with Timo i hc he knew him when they were in highschool—! Karl found Andy infuriating & so annoying though & didn’t consider him a friend at all. a lot of his early lazer guns were born from Karl’s growing need to shoot Andy out of the sky cus he’d fly up to get out of reach of his claws when he’d annoyed him.

•Dr. S; i hc that Andy and Dr.S are business or trading partners of sorts but they keep it very lowkey. Andy probably handles hits and the crazy snake doctor requires bodies and “test subjects” for his manic experiments. Andy is the perfect guy for the job! When Nurse Phantom is unable, Andy will hide the evidence of Dr.S’ malpractice for a reasonable fee, of course. He dislikes going to checkups himself though— he doesn’t like people knowing too much about him! Plus Dr.S always “””jokes””” about “””studying””” him because he finds the fact Andy is a flying mammal facinating & talks about using Andy’s wings to create a frankenstein flying lemur.

•Nurse Phantom; Rob just lectures him about being reckless & getting into fights everytime he sees him. Kinda the same as Dr. S really, but he does tell him like.. Hey I used to be pretty mean & put people in danger too. And that there’s always time to turn another leaf. Andy usually just scoffs, collects his paycheck, & leaves.

Are you ready for a MAJOR INFODUMP about The Librarian? Yes? Good.

In ENDGAME, one can ascend to godhood no matter your background or species so long as you meet certain conditions. Likewise, anyone can become a god’s angel, as becoming an angel is literally just being picked by a god to either become or Ascend to the status of Divine Servant or something similar:

transcript: Angels = Divine servants of a particular god who serve them as right/left hands, helpers, warriors, and messengers between the various realms and were strictly created for said work. Angels are usually created by their god, but may also be Ascended Humans as well (re: the god forcibly Ascended them, which is taboo amongst most). In the case of deities, angels are often a reference to their particular body part that helps their work (eyes, ears, hands, ect) and are usually numerous. Angels that belong to a deity are always parts of the deity at least 85%, meaning vessels may be possessed but will always inevitably be, serve, and host the deity without qualm. Any angel type may have a charge. God eaters may be commissioned to hunt angels or may find them pests that get in the way of their endeavors.

Angels can, however, “fall” and become demons for a variety of reasons, including forsaking their gods, questioning their gods motives, or straight up participating in the God War against the gods:

transcript: Demons = Divine servants who have lost their way or forsaken their god. They no longer seek to serve the purpose they were made for and/or have cast off their charge. Ascended Humans and Deities may be called Demons if they rebel against their god or given purpose. Deity angels (aka those that are not living beings (and thus are a part of the deity)) cannot rebel as they often do not possess sentience outside of their deity. Vessels strong enough may overcome a deity’s control, however, and expel the deity from them with enough work. This usually leads to them becoming an outlier, or an individual with no real purpose/place in the cosmos that can exist outside the Game and the realms they live within. Many Ascended Human, Vessel, and Deity demons are expelled from their reality and forced nomads/wanderers, and aren’t welcome anywhere due to the supernatural “taint" or “warble” to their aura (deities and gods are very protective over their realities). God eaters don’t often bother with demons (as many of them are demons themselves), but there are always exceptions to the rule. A particularly powerful and intrusive demon may be seen as a target due to their meddling in the universe, or any wrongs they’ve committed against a certain god eater.

Becoming a demon can be simple and less symptomatic, or it can be incredibly trying and life threatening. It all depends on the god/deity betrayed by the angel, and their crimes committed against said god/deity. Not many get the book thrown at them even if they are rejected outright (which is a major punishment to most all its own), but others get physical and magical mutations in conjunction to their rejection. Those of particularly vindictive gods/deities may get cursed, such as the Rebirthing curse The Fearmonger suffers that won’t let him die, but "erases” his memory and powers upon each death due to forcing him to “start over” as a child (which is unnatural for Chimera and thus an excruciating process in its own right).

The Librarian, or Lib, is a human demon that once served a particularly powerful god before and during the God War. (For context, the God War was a war that turned the universe and humankind against gods/deities as a whole and caused a whole shitmess of problems, including the universe condemning gods/deities to mortality (forcing them within the veil) where those who hated/were betrayed/scorned by gods/deities, called the God Eaters, could kill them easily). Lib in particular was never quite a follower of his particular god, being rared up by his parents and their cultural pressures as an offering for the god in question, who took angels in young and essentially ruled with them as a tyrant. When old enough, he realized he felt the mantra of his god was bullshit and decided to speak up about it, especially given the terrible treatment of his own people during the God War. When this happened, he was outcast by his god and fell from angel to demon status, where he joined the God Eaters in their fight against gods and deities and consumed godflesh once before becoming a self-proclaimed vampire and consuming godblud/godblood exclusively.

His consumption of godblud led to him eventually possessing powers he hadn’t previously and caused him to go a bit hysterical (as godblud does). In this hysteria, he managed to make a pact with Linduru, the third Player of the Game, and became a Child of Linduru. Under her will, he went out and began destroying villages and humankind en mass and eventually drew the attention of his fellow God Eaters when he proclaimed himself a god who would “make things right” by “carrying out Decay’s will” on the universe. He has a particular beef with Artem, given the man has an incredible hatred for anyone tied to Linduru (for good reason) and Lib may have been part of Linduru’s plan to kidnap his daughter and forcibly turn her into a mushroom child (aka Linduru’s “lesser” children who are forced to live in her forest for the rest of their lives). Also, we all know Lib just can’t shut his fucking gob for five minutes and loves taunting people, so there’s that.

He’s been forcibly imprisoned in a Hell Bubble by Melancholy before (Hell Bubbles are miniature “prison cell-like worlds” that force you to live in a personal hell you cannot escape from; they often erase your memories of your previous life as well), as well as forced to exist in the Nothingness (aka exist within a space that should be tearing him apart, but cannot, leading to an incredibly painful and emotionally destructive experience) for a long while by the God Eaters. As of late, he has escaped and possessed an animatronic from Unimatronic Daycare (The Librarian, a bearded vulture animatronic) as a Vessel to disguise himself from the God Eaters in hopes they’ll finally leave him alone even though he has no plans to change his behavior now or ever. He cannot remember his old name, but is unbothered by it for the most part, simply living his days on impulse and personal desire instead of planning something for the future. The future is so short-lived for him, he figures it’s better this way (a symptom of the PTSD his experiences have most likely given him).

Most of Lib’s powers consist over decay and death, though aren’t quite necromancy. Due to the godblud he has in his system (and keeps via hunting the divine), he has the power to forcibly assimilate himself to whatever vessel he possesses and cause them to become a physical part of his body. Because he needs godflesh and godblood to survive, however, this power is unstable and can lead to him physically meshing with anything he enters in such a way that he’d suffer incredible pain were he to separate himself again. As it is now, Lib has a very low supply of godblud in his system and cannot unmerge with his animatronic suit without serious self injury. However, due to his curse (thanks to the God Eaters shoving him in the Nothingness), he also cannot die, meaning were he to actually separate from it without godblud, he would become a mesh of flesh and absolute agony until he could manage to pull himself together again.

Gonna say it again:

Antifa is not an organization. It is short for “antifascism”, which is a counter to the ideas and philosophies of fascism. If you don’t know what that is, here is a definition.

The reason we can’t pinpoint and call antifa a terrorist group is because Antifa as an organization does not exist and was made up in our heads, furthured by the media fearmongering about this (like they always do). It’s the same thing they did with the riots. They only focused on those to make it seem like everyone who’s protesting is just breaking stuff and burning everything. Now, some of these statue defacers are wrong, yes. But, that is not antifa because, as stated before, antifa is not an organization. (If it was, they should get a better name.)

The reason why statues are being taken down:

George Washington did not care for his slaves like we were taught. I was basically lied to in fifth grade and told that he wanted them to be free. I was also told just recently that he didn’t want to fight against slavery because the Union was “too fragile”, which I won’t doubt it was but, come on. “But he was a Founding Father!!!” I hear you cry. The Founding Fathers were all rich, too, and didn’t believe the general public was educated enough to vote on the President themselves, hence why the Electoral College was put in place.

Thomas Jefferson raped one of his houseslaves (Sally Hemmings) multiple times and had multiple children with her and kept them in slavery. They were not in love like the movies and some books. (Which is why I don’t support anything Hamilton anymore really along with some other things that LMM did). “But, he was one of our Presidents!!!” I hear you cry. Does not change the fact that he raped one of his slaves (who also happened to be his wife’s half-sister, too) and bought/sold people as property.

Christopher Columbus forced the natives to convert to Christianity and cut off their hands and put them around their neck.

Why do we need statues of slave traders? We could easily put their information in museums. I really don’t care if it’s “history”. We don’t need to celebrate someone who sold and/or bought slaves.

A great analogy I saw went along the lines of “The Devil is pretty important in Christian history but if you decorated your Church with imagery of him, people would think there was something off”.

Also, slavery didn’t end after the Civil War. They found ways to try and keep black people as slaves, just didn’t call it that. It was called sharecropping. My great-grandmother on my grandpa’s side of the family was a sharecropper. My grandfather grew up during intergration. The movie (and the book) “The Help” shows how they still pretty much kept black people (women, specifically, since that’s what they focus on) as house slaves. Then, there was the 13th amendment which is why prisons are the way they are.

I don’t know why this is so hard for people to understand. Yes, there were other people kept as slaves, too. Does that mean that black people accept that and don’t care? Why would you even bring that up when we’re talking about black issues? To be an asshole? Obviously. Black people know that. They gotta fix their issues first. That’s how everything works.

And also to those of you who argue “police kill more white people than black people”, here’s a short little video for you that I’ve already posted but will post again just for your stupid ass:
