You know when I say that Craydl is Thad's paternal figure? I mean it so seriously. I bet Craydl absolutely influenced Thad's taste in music. Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Thad's most likely a rock and alt rock kind of guy thanks to Craydl.

Hilarious Craydl-related Thoughts from my Brain:

Craydl is the closest thing to a parental figure Thad has (He did the raising and most of Thad's socialization I'm sure of it), so that means he gets to give the shovel talk to Thad's romantic partners.

Imagine this glob of neon green goo, who was once subdued by Bart shoving him in a bottle, threatening Thad's potential partner/s and making sure they treat his son well.

love that Thad interprets inertia to mean continuing at all costs and Three takes it to mean stagnancy, bc theyre both right!! objects in motion saty in motion objects at rest stay at rest just like newton said

exactly yeah! because i knew i wanted Thad to reclaim the name for himself (with the whole "it means what i say it means" mantra) it needed to mean more to him than just a representation of Thawne Legacy Kill The Allens etc.

a reoccurring thing in Frequency that i liked to lean into was this idea of Good Inertia and Bad Impulses (bc Bart and Thad as narrative foils continues to rotate in my brain forever). i think Bart's solo does a cool exploration of both good and bad impulses throughout the run, it's kind of the central conflict of the whole thing, but it's usually in regards to Bart either unwittingly getting himself into trouble or accidentally solving problems by just leaping into everything without thinking twice. but the concept of inertia is pretty exclusively portrayed as negative. which is fair, the phrase "coasting on inertia" is in the lexicon for a reason. but i think it deserved a fair shot - the concept of continuing in spite of everything can actually be a really good instinct when you're in a bad situation. keeping up that momentum, moving forward no matter what, there's definitely something inspirational there that appeals to me.

and an aspect of impulses that didnt get as much spotlight in Bart's solo was the kinds of impulses that recoil at the thought of unpleasantness. the impulse to hide from responsibility, the impulse to distract from pain, to avoid discomfort, etc. (big part of that is because in Bart's solo, most of the worst moments of his life hadn't happened to him yet) so i wanted to explore it a little in Frequency

anyway yeah, Bad Impulses and Good Inertia. which was kinda in conversation with Bart and Thad's dispositions, and how they run counter to typical hero/villain narratives. (Bart doesn't really get people, goes his own way, has pretty emotionally selfish and sometimes violent tendencies when he's pissed off. Thad's much more of a people person, lives for praise and pleasing others, seems to forget to do violence when he's supposed to i.e. that time he put Bart in VR jail even though Bart was completely incapacitated and by Thawne logic Thad should've just killed him. it just... doesn't occur to him as a thing he should do lmao)

Sometimes you just have to flex that you’re the pretty twin when you’re hanging out with your brother and his friends in your grandparents’ basement.

But seriously, I redrew this screenshot of Kelso from That 70′s Show because I thought, ‘You know who would say this incredibly pettily? Thad Thawne.’

[brown-little-robin]

ok I'm normal about CRAYDL again
