Having Toybox thoughts rn, don't mind me if I post the actor's core character beliefs on main;

Kelly believes that he is a bad person, no matter what anyone says.

Vio believes that he is a bad person, despite what everyone else says.

Sable believes that they are a bad person, because of what they think everyone must be saying.

Pumpkin believes that she is a bad person because of the things he has done.

Redd believe that they are a bad person because of the things she has been unable to do.

Sapphire believes that she is a bad person, and justifies it because this is a dog-eat-dog world here.

Aure is unable to think of himself as a bad person in any capacity, or his entire worldview will fall apart.

Ivory believes that she has proof that everyone is a bad person, and that the proof also applies to herself.

Furthermore, for the Playwright and the Doll (player character);

The Playwright believes that humanity's nature is so base as to make everyone a bad person, and that they are simply proving this true through the time loop.

The Doll believes that humanity's nature is not inherently evil, and that the conceit of the timeloop forces everyone involved to carry out bad actions, as influenced by the beliefs that they already have.

#something something metaphor for being coerced into unethical choices by the systems we are all trapped in #gods these guys are so fucked up i love them all #now to leave this WIP simmering on the backburner for at least five months while i focus on Heralds of Rhimn do doo doot do doo #adding these tags here with and edit BUT ALSO #its fun seeing how two characters might relate to each other in the context of these core beliefs #Kelly + Aure is so toxic because Kelly challenge's Aure's view of himself while Aure confirms Kelly's suspicions on his own badness #Sable + Aure meanwhile is so soft because Aure includes Sable in the “can't be wrong” thing and Sable desperately need somebody to tell 'em #that they are not as bad as they fear #Sapphire + Ivory enable each other under certain circumstances because Ivory's 'proof' feeds directly into Saph's worldview #and they are happy to embrace the other in spite (or because?) the other can be a bad person #Pumpkin + Redd has Pumpkin tends to view Redd pretty favorably (or at least not negatively) *because* Redd is prone to inaction #Kelly + Redd is tragic because Redd justifies Kelly's actions with “I didn't stop him” and Kelly *agrees* to an extent #Saph + Redd can get toxic if Saph takes Redd's passiveness as a desire to be protected while she takes the lead (not always wrong)#(sometimes applies to Ivory/Saph too)#Saph + Vio involves a lot of disdain from Saph because she straight-up does not believe the “good ol' himbo angel of a man” rep Vio has #Aure + Vio gets REALLY funky in the loops where Sable is out of the picture #I COULD GO ON #but i will end it there hgkdhgdgh
