Petunyawn's Character: A Failtopia Analysis

Ah, the Season 2 post-game. An absolute mess filled with the worst character writing Failtopia has ever had in SpamTang and Simple Bald, a completely barren plot that doesn't tie into any of the characters, including the new ones, and completely ignores almost every character on a regular basis. Including the new ones.

The newest stream was pretty good, Chat's redesign nonwithstanding, but overall, these post-game streams have probably been the lowest quality string of Failtopia content. Which makes it even more insane that a great character like Petunyawn came out of it!

She's the daughter of Pirahnyawn, the asshole flower from Season 1, and the explanation for her being 7 years old, but only alive for one year, is that plants age way faster than humans. Doesn't make a lot of sense if you apply it to Pirahnyawn himself, and it'll most likely be retconned if Petun gets integrated into canon, but it's a genuinely creative explanation to get the impossible character here without breaking the timeline! (Looking at you, SpamTang)

Petun literally aging too fast for her dad to keep up with, combined with the fact that Pirahnyawn would be a terrible teacher, sets up for a character who knows shockingly little about how the world works, while still being old enough to have a fairly developed personality. Naturally, this is exactly what we get from her.

She's characterised by constantly questioning literally everything and everyone that surrounds her. This is because she's spent her whole life being entirely uninvolved from a lot of the world, due to being a literal plant, and a young child. She's a lot like Slapo, in that she's a random seven-year-old who felt disconnected from the larger world, and absentmindedly decided to explore it after the assumed death of her parent, seeking out her answers directly from the source. Petunyawn likes to get to the point, she doesn't want to waste time with prior explanations for the answers she gets. She only wants explanations after she hears the information, because that's her learning method, but most people she meets will do it the other way around, and she cannot comprehend that. So, she gets pushy.

Petun obviously doesn't have the vocabulary to explain why she doesn't understand most of the things she gets told, and ends up completely contradicting them in her best attempt to follow along, to the annoyance of everybody. If she receives complaints because of this, that annoyance includes her, because she's never been effectively taught that her mistakes could cause real harm. Her dad, Pirahnyawn, has never really cared about being harmed himself, he only cares if people around him are being harmed, so Petun has a basic understanding of how to keep herself out of danger, and although she's made her best efforts, she doesn't know how to apply the same to other people. In fact, she just doesn't know other people.

This girl has had zero social interaction for her entire life, and her father is infamous for having no healthy relations with anyone in the FailFleet Miis. She gets off on the wrong foot with almost everyone who isn't unusually accustomed to weird girls like her, Orion being the only clear example of such a person, except maybe Bo. She struggles to focus on the people, because she's so curious about everything else in the room, and wants to understand her current situation to an unreasonable degree before she even tries to connect with the other person. This makes sense to her. She can't connect with someone if she doesn't understand the context that surrounds their connection, and once she finally starts to get an idea, that's when she can actually make some friends! For example, Shrimp doesn't really like her at first, she's a popular streamer who's all too used to invasive questions, but once Petun finally stops with those, they can quite easily bond over their shared weirdness, as shown in the latest stream.

Friend is another interesting character relationship Petunyawn has. Neither of them are particularly fond of the other, but there's no outright hostility, because neither of them would resort to that. Petun doesn't see the need, and recognises that Friend is a powerful adult, and Friend recognises that Petunyawn is a relatively innocent child. Her intense analysis of everything around her has very promising strategic potential, but when she starts tearing into their strategy (something they truly enjoy, and has gotten them through some incredibly dark times), their unhinged, fragile side starts to show. A little voice in the back of Friend's head is one of their worst nightmares - but that's not what this is. Petunyawn is not malicious, she holds no ill will towards Friend, she's a talented healer trying to look out for the party, but she still doesn't have very good vision, and she's usually knocked unconscious before she can do all that much. Which completely tracks, and even mirrors Shrimp, because she is a literal child. Friend truly does not know how to help her, but that's not really their job, and it's not her fault.

Petunyawn tends to mirror a lot of the more energetic personalities in Failtopia. Slapo, Shrimp, even Failboat if you consider her "trying her best but failing miserably" gimmick. She's airheaded, though, and she isn't energetic at all. She just happens to be a perfect foil for the characters who are, because they can all bounce off of her reasonability, and relate to her in her weirdness. If anyone's equipped to explain the world in a language Petun understands, it's someone who is fully immersed in the weirdness that makes up a huge element of who she is, and the lens she views the world through.

This girl was raised in an environment so unorthodox and impractical that there was not a chance in hell that she would emerge as a normal person, in any sense of the word. And that's amazing. She tries so hard to experience the larger world, with no real idea of how to go about that aside from attacking it at the source, but the Oopsie family recognises her inability to understand things if not explained with precision, and helps her to settle into a life she doesn't have to constantly question. A life that finally makes sense to her.

Just like the Erica analysis, a lot of this is probably unintentional, but also just like the Erica analysis, I don't think it matters, when what we're provided is solid enough for me to write all of this.

I love being fully unaware of YouTuber drama and which channels are "popular." My first reaction at the start of that section was "who the hell is James Somerton"

[peace-hunter]

i need optimus to be a Worrier next movie. i need him to be in charge of and responsible for thousands if not millions of mechs and realize they all depend on him and be Fretting about it. i need him seeing people, his people, being in danger and Freaking The Fuck Out.

but most importantly i need him to see one of his friends risk their life for something, anything, and realize that "oh. this is how it feels"

"Is [this] worth dying for?"

"Yes, it is."

this is what he made D go through every single day

I’ve been thinking about it for a while and I think what saddens me the most is that shadow doesn’t really seem to like adventuring. Sonic and shadow are similar in that they both go fast and go on a lot of the same adventures, and even though adventures just like, happen to sonic he kinda starts them, or at least seems to enjoy them after all “what you see is what you get, just a guy who loves adventure”. He didn’t choose to have chaos unleashed, turn into a werewolf or have eggman make a war, and I’m sure there’s moments (like metal virus and frontiers) where he’d rather that all not have happened, but overall he seems to have fun doing all of this stuff, it’s his hobby, even in the twitter takeovers most of the time when a question about what they is asked he basically just says running and adventuring.

Meanwhile shadow just kinda has that stuff happen to him, his memories are altered and someone wants him to destroy the world, he has amnesia (also metal sonic is mad and making it everyone’s problem), he has amnesia (also someone’s trying to make him destroy the world again), and whatever was going on in 06. He never seemed to relish in the adventure like sonic did, he only really seemed to fight when he had too. (Okay in some games he seemed like he wanted to kill sonic??? (og generations) or just fight sonic for little reason (not to mention what happened to infinite) but it feels like they’re kinda fixing that and it’s pretty out of character for him). For sonic danger is a challenge, it’s fun. For shadow it’s just something happening to him, yeah he might get a little smug about it, but “if the world chooses to become my enemy I will fight like I always have” shadow wouldn’t be fighting if he didn’t have someone trying to make him destroy the world every two seconds-

It would also make sense shadow doesn’t seem to enjoy danger like sonic does, he knows what its likes being attacked and it going wrong (Maria’s death). And to contrast sonic in the twitter takeovers whenever he’s asked about hobbies he says he wants to start a cat orphanage, or that he reads books and plays chess, volunteers at soup kitchens, taking care of his bike, also won’t shut up about flowers. All pretty low stakes things! (He even mentions multiple times in the newest twitter takeovers that he doesn’t fight for fun, only when needed. Now that could just be him not wanting to admit he’s having fun with sonic, because there is a lot of moments we’re he fights with sonic for no reason other then fun, but there’s still probably some truth in there. Who knows maybe we just think that because we always see it from Sonic’s side, and since sonic likes it we assume shadow does too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) And talking to Maria in sh generations it makes so much sense! She seems frightened at the concept of shadow attacking black doom, she’s not scared to talk back to him when he’s being rude to shadow, but she seems surprised that it’s happening, surprised that shadow is so “bold and confident” when shadow fights. Yeah she told him to protect everyone on earth but I don’t think she had shadow stopping earth ending situations in mind. They play chess and go to school, when Maria talks of going back to earth she mentions having food and meeting her family. That was their plan. She didn’t think shadow would have to stop gods and war, she thought he was going to met friends and eat good food! And just help out in small ways when he can.

Going back to Maria’s death we know shadow was powerful at that time, not as much as he is now, but he was frozen for those 50 years (no time to train) which means he was just as strong then as he was in sonic adventure 2 (makes sense he’s the ultimate lifeform). If shadow was back there he would’ve fought the G.U.N agents, but taking in the Maria dialog (“bold and  confident”) and how their life was on the ark he wasn’t used to fighting. If nothing happened to shadow he probably wouldn’t be fighting.

TLDR: where’s my sonic game that’s about shadow owning a cat orphanage and reading books sega?

Hi! I dont usually ever send asks but I saw your post about including more DC characters in your AU's and was wondering if you were ever planning on including Kate Kane and/or Renee Montoya as they are two of my favourite characters in all of DC and almost never appear in batfamily fics even though they both work with oracle, nightwing, huntress, and other members a surprising amount in the comics. I like the idea of Kate especially being reluctantly enamoured with Peter, and that she would remind him of Col. Rhodes as I feel they have similar no-nonsense attitudes, dogged determination, and militant mannerisms while being pretty gentle on the inside. You might have answered this before but are Peter and Col. Rhodes close? I would assume they at least know each other pretty well from his friendship with Tony. Also thank you so much for LOF and all your writing - it genuinely brings me so much joy. <3

i 100000% want to write Kate Kane in the future, though i still need to read up on her, Renee, and Helena to make sure i'm writing them correctly. i started LoF worried about juggling too many characters in the plot and also didn't actually know a lot about the batfam outside of what i'd already been reading, considering LoF was supposed to just be me and alighterwood messing around with a silly au, i didn't think to put more than the cast we have. other aus will definitely have them in the future because i feel bad i missed out on them. i briefly considered putting at least Kate in LoF, but i feel like she would have at least been MENTIONED before now, and it would feel like a cheap throw in. she deserves more attention in another au

and i hadn't thought about it, but Kate and Rhodey ARE pretty similar. Since Rhodey is Tony's best friend, he and Peter get along very well! i hadn't mentioned him too much in LoF itself because, well, LoF was supposed to be 15 chapters originally. it was supposed to be wrapped up a while ago but then i got a little too into writing it. and i made a mistake forgetting how present he'd have been in Peter's life. admittedly, this comes back to me having a hard time juggling so many characters. he'll be showing back up in a couple chapters (when we finally get our Avengers POV) and i hope to remedy that mistake

DP x DC Prompt

This, but it's because their flight home was canceled due to Gotham's airport being destroyed. And they didn't want to drive all the way back.

The reason it all started was because Tucker was really bored and was getting a bit frustrated when he couldn't get past one of WE's many firewalls. He had already skimmed through everything else and concluded that Gotham's Brucie Wayne was a literal angel sent from heaven to one the worst cities in the world because he committed a crime so horrific that not even God could look him in his pretty little face anymore and that firewall proved it!

So to cool his head off, he decided to hack into a bank. Banks were pretty easy, right? Almost anyone could do it with just enough knowledge and the proper equipment. What he DIDN'T expect was just how EASY it was to do so. Laughably so, to the point it made him cry.

Did Gotham's rouges or Gothamites in general not like money? Not even the small-time rouges? Because he KNEW those operations that they try to pull off cost money. Shit tons!

So when his laughter became so disturbing that his friends and even his frenemies got concerned, all he had to do was show them what he found out. Which sent them spiraling into laughter as well. Like, c'mon, even Amity Park's bank was more secure than that and they only had fucking GHOST CRIME!

As the tears began to dry, and the laughter turned to giggles, one of the girls suggested something.

Star: Why don't we, like, rob it or something?

The hotel room went silent and Star started to fidget. Then she started to ramble.

Star: I mean like, we don't have to. It was kind of a joke anyway, since their security's so bad ya know, and I'm pretty sure we're gonna be here for a while and-

Dani: Star, baby, sweetie, honey. Why are you justifying yourself when we were all probably thinking the same thing, right?

Nod and hums of agreement filled the girl with relief.

Wes: Besides it's not a class trip unless we cause some trouble right?

They all then pilled into the bed and around Tucker as his finger flew across the keyboard.

Tucker: So, where are we hitting up first?

[stopper-my-heart]

Nothing like Heartstopper S2E8 removing some of Taylor Swift's "seven" lyrics just so that the singing can specifically come back in at "Or hide in the closet" while Isaac is processing difficult emotions related to the book he's reading (i.e., Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen).

Did I mention "Or hide in the closet" hits just as the camera focus finishes shifting away from Isaac?

This is fine

[mettatons-fat-doughy-asscheeks]

You look at him

Totally couchbound

Fast food bags and wrappers surround him and even can be found in his folds

BRRRMPPTTTTTTTT

He's of course helplessly gassy. You ensured it by putting him on that diet

His tubby face and chins are smeared in grease and sauce, majority being mayo

You made sure he craved the extra fatty stuff, stuff no sane human would ingest even on a dare

Lest they turn into a porker like him

His sweaty body looks as if it could give off steam it was so hot

You tuned the temperature of the "living room" to make sure he was always sweating

A bottle of sugary soda or an ice cold ice cream shake was always in reach to cool him down

Especially when he unceremoniously dumps it down his front because his fat sausage fingers were deprived of any dexterity long ago

He loves the feeling of the icy cold slop washing down his bloated areola

Those plumped nipples he was constantly groping and teasing any time he got even remotely close to turned on

After all even when he could get up he couldn't reach down there

A growing mound of pubic blubber and a steady dose of specially crafted "supplements" ensured that

And oh how he was turned on

Maybe it was the constant stream of humiliating smut you'd play over multiple TVs in his eyeline.

Maybe it was the fact any time he fruitlessly attempted to stand like he was still capable of being a functioning person the wobbling of his fatpad stimulated that useless little thing it'd swallowed

Maybe it was you constantly fucking his cavernous greasy navel like it was your own personal onahole

Or the friends you allowed to do the same

Maybe his mind was so hopelessly broken that the mere act of eating that greasy slop one could charitably call "food" made his pathetic cock twitch

Either way it gave him hands free orgasms that made him spurt hot gallon sized puddles of cum directly onto the carpet in front of where he sat

On that couch

His prison

His permanent home

You know he loves it

At least

You sure do

anyone interested in talking about the iconic 2000's middle-grade-bordering-on-ya book series gallagher girls??

I'm sorry, but when we read from the torah this week, it's just... I'm sorry, it was hilarious in a way. Imagine being a slave and entrusted with Everything then being in PRISON and then entrusted with All The Prisoners (You Are Also A Prisoner). Obviously, it would always have turned out that this would happen to joseph but I'm just imagining how that would have played out

In my mind Kyouka and Akutagawa have this relationship where she hates him while he keeps being extremely proud of her in the way:

Mafia minion: Our ranks were crushed by a single ability user!

Akutagawa: What? How could that happen? How dare you disrespect the Port Mafia name by getting defeated by a mere ability user? Such pathetic demonstration of weaknesses will not go unpunished!

Mafia minion: It seems like the ability user was a member of the Armed Detective Agency by the name Kyouka Izumi--

Akutagawa: Oh lmfao that's my girl
