Happy Birthday to my favourite grumpy dragon man~

[sopuu]

since I've seen your post about complaints about mcsm characters writing I have a question what's your thoughts on Jesse character writing in game?

Oh btw I'm in love with your champion Jesse au it's everything I wanted from the game and your writing is amazing i can't wait for more

actually i’m quite ok with jesse’s! he’s determined, capable, will drop sass when deserved and is also just a silly guy!! his personality shines through no matter what option you pick and ofc outside of those options as well- i think they did good for a protagonist whose story and dialogue delivery can vary so much from player to player. like everyone has a different version of jesse they perceive but the core character traits are still very much there. is this anything

i think the only thing is that he doesn't have much opportunity to be the one that needs comforting, it's always the other way round. i mean, all that responsibility and experiences has gotta weigh heavy on him. so i just turned that to him keeping it to himself so others don't worry and can still rely on him. yay angst!

[an-theduckin]

If you see this post I want you to reblog this with your Stanley design . Narrator designs get so much (well deserved) love but Where's the love for Stanley?? Where's the love for everyone's fav office worker?? I wanna see yalls Stanley designs please show me .

[duckthevillain]

"I want to see more shadowpeach in season 5", "I want to see more monkey MK in season 5", "I want MK's past"...

WHAT HAPPENED MAN WHAT HAPPENED

WERE THEY AT WAR OR SOMETHING??? ALSO, HOW DID PIGSY WENT FROM WHATEVER MEAN FIGHTER HE WAS TO A CHEF??? (my personal theory is that he met his Tangy🤭🫢)

[callmegaith]

your real honest opinion on David's character. GO!

I feel like this implies I've been trolling everyone for the past 6 years about how much I love this silly lil guy. Is there supposed to be a /j at the end of that, anon??

Bestie I would not put this much effort into a troll ever 😭 like do you think I sat there and made a whole comic series for a funny little gag??

In case this is genuine tho:

LONG READ AHEAD

cuz of course. You give me the chance to talk about David and I'll TALK

My real honest opinion on David

Paradise

Silly funny fella. Goofy as hell. I think you can read David's attitude multiple different ways in Paradise. To some he comes off as just an asshole

To others he's just a kid being a kid

I personally read his character as somewhat sarcastic and spiteful towards Jakob. His smile? Sarcastic. His "it's been a while brother"? Sarcastic. "I hope I'm not the one who died tonight" while knowing full well it ain't him? Sarcastic.

I'll talk about this more later when I talk about Mr. Rabbit!David.

David has the characteristics of most youngest siblings; He's annoying, he's childish, maybe a little spoiled and needy for attention too.

Not to jump ahead in this analysis and all but in Birthday, the box he needs has text on it that reads "hungry ghost", "ghost who is unable to be reborn" or preta. They're often spirits of people who died full of greed and jealousy. In Japanese, a preta is also "a spoiled child" or "brat"

Based on that information I thought maybe David was jealous of Jakob cuz he wanted to be the golden boy, ya know?

Tldr;

Paradise!David is just a funny lil guy who most likely harbors negative feelings towards Jakob who overshadowed him despite not even being there.

Mr. Rabbit

Who David is now. An older more mature David. Something clicked in his brain and he realized 'okay actually we're all fucked. Peace out guys I'm looking out for myself.'

Brown Rabbit:

I feel like he represents the last bit of David's naivety, innocence, and child-like spirit. The white rabbit (David from the future) sees that rabbit get killed from the window. He can no longer deny what's happening. The child within him he used to retreat to when things got bad is dead. There's only the white rabbit now

I feel like that's also something represented in David's masks

The older he gets, the more devoid of joy he becomes

He becomes more and more aware of his situation.

As a child, you have the blessing of ignorance. That's why the world feels like a safer more colorful place to you until you grow up and you can no longer protected and shielded from the world.

To me, I think that's where David's trauma comes from. His ageing and how fast he's had to grow up and become a man, despite his attempts to remain a child.

In paradise, it's likely he was still pretty much "fingers in ears going LALALALALA" with his eyes closed tightly.

Brown rabbit is all that remained of his ignorance, and now it's gone, leaving behind only the White Rabbit. The David that knows and acknowledges the cruelty of his life. A ghost of his former self.

Speaking of:

White Rabbit

What are we but the products of our traumas and life experiences.

The white rabbit, David from the future, is on a journey to save his soul and be reborn. Obviously, the goal of all the corrupted souls. There is a soul we know succeeded in that and was, in fact, reborn. And that soul is Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was the collateral damage in a battle she had no hand in. She is probably the most innocent victim in all of this family feud going on, and I think because of that, Jakob allowed her to be reborn.

Something he did not allow David to do. I think it's safe to say Jakob and David do not like each other. Seems like David's plans clash with Jakob's and so he has to be taken out of the picture, and yet, David always seems like he has tricks up his sleeve.

Somehow, David is able to go back in time to save himself. What happens after that? We don't know yet

You could argue that he failed and died in the blue cube memory of Birthday. Or that he is simply still out there rn waiting for his story to be told. Both are true cuz that's the nature of Rusty Lake.

David seems to be on his own grand journey, stuck in his own Paradox, desperate to find a way to he reborn.

The thing that stands out of course is David's corrupted soul, or rather, the many different forms of it:

This is probably due to there being multiple different David(s) from the paradoxes he's lived through.

But what is the White Rabbit David if the brown rabbit is David's reborn Asura? Is the white rabbit not his Asura too?

Hard to say. We never seen a corrupted soul take form like David's white rabbit one before, and even more than that, one that retains autonomy. After all, David had enough control over himself to write and leave Dale a letter, meaning he is fully aware of what he is doing. Yet he is prone to violence the way regular corrupted souls are.

It's likely the white rabbit is an advanced form of a corrupted soul, probably the last stages before rebirth.

That or.... Well.... It's just a mask. After all, in Paradox, David spoke with a regular human voice over the phone, meaning he was not a corrupted soul.

In that case tho, if he was already reborn... Why did he say he needed to escape his current "hungry ghost" state?

Obviously Paradox is the most unreliable game narratively cuz you're just going through Dale's jumbled up memories. It's likely he's just recalling an actual conversation he had with David on the phone at the time (which still makes no sense cuz that would mean at the time David was still a human. Or it means he's recalling some conversation he had with David at some point in his life, not necessarily Birthday. OR... That's just a memory the machine is feeding him and it never really happened. Point is, paradox can't be used as a fact for anything)

Timeline is fuuuucked when it comes to David's story so uuuh

We don't know where he is now, what actually happened to him, or wtf is going on with him.

What we do take from his whoooole story tho:

Conclusion

(you did it, chat. You made it this far into my rambly post!!)

David is a really cool and very interesting character that might not appear to be so on the surface. You only really get how complex his character is when you think of everything that has happened in the games. He has a story that is either left for us to piece together or is still not yet fully explored.

To me, David is a character born of defiance and rebelliousness, as well as the need for survival and self-preservation. He is someone who has challenged his own fate, knowing damn well he's up against higher powers, but still taking the chance to save his soul. He is resilient, and stubborn, and just won't accept his fate and die. He has challenged his position in the food chain, a rabbit who is meant to be at the bottom, proving that he should not be underestimated. To me, that's worth loving and admiring. AND IM CHEERING HIM ON! GO DAVID! GO! IM SO PROUD OF YOU MY SON!!

And that's my real honest opinion on David

Thank you for reading.

RABBIT HOLE

PAIRING: GOJO X READER

WARNING: obsessive behavior, implied kidnapping, kinda insanity

You’ve been told countless times that your curiosity has led you into danger, especially when you were young. It even cost you to disappear for a lengthy period of time, which almost gave your parents a heart attack and your grandparents reason to believe in otherworldliness.

So when they saw you near the rabbit hole of the backyard in your grandparents house, they were shocked. How could you be there when they’ve searched the estate and backyard multiple times already?

Nevertheless, all questions were halted as they rushed you to the hospital.

"You don’t know where you went?" You can still remember your mother’s question and the looks the adults gave each other.

You shook your head and asked, "Where’s Satoru?"

The look is back, as if you’d lost your mind. "Satoru? Who is that, sweetheart?"

"He’s my friend! I told you about him! We always play together in the backyard."

But the adults are still confused and alarmed. They obviously don't know who you’re referring to.

For your sanity and wellbeing, your parents decided to never return to your grandparents estate ever again.

Until now.

Your grandmother’s funeral is a quiet affair. No one knows what to say or do now that the matriarch of your family is gone, so you just offer your silent company.

Next to you, your beloved is talking quietly with your mother while eating a cake. You never understood the hype around sweets. A family friend offered you condolences when you saw something. Someone is looking at you from afar dressed in an all-black outfit and wearing pitch-black shades. He smiled when you saw him and turned away.

With a quick kiss and a word, you excused yourself from the gathering and made your way to the backyard.

You thought he was a fever dream, but he’s real! You knew he was real! You were right this entire time, despite your parents saying otherwise.

"Hey! Excuse me!" He didn’t stop walking. "Satoru? Is that you?"

He’s just walking faster. "Satoru! Wait up. Don’t you remember me?"

You cursed when you almost tripped. Stupid shoes. You felt a lot better when you removed it, but you noticed that you’re all alone now and the estate is far away.

Where did he run off to? "Satoru? Sat-AHHHH"

You landed with a loud thud. What the hell was that? You look around; it looks like you’re still in the estate, but everything is different. Instead of the estate, you saw a big castle. Bigger than the ones you’ve seen during your outings. And everything seems so familiar yet unfamiliar.

And the person you were chasing chuckled before helping you up.

"Still clumsy," he says as he gives you a once-over. "Miss me?"

All words were forgotten as you hit him. "You didn’t even stop!"

Satoru has been your friend since you can remember. It’s hard to wrap your mind around the concept that he’s from another world—another dimension. How he could go to your world, you have no idea, but you suppose it’s the same way you can go to his world.

You rediscover each other’s lives again. You go on to tell him about your life in the city, the therapists that you see from time-to-time because they are afraid you’ve gone insane, your family, friends, hobbies, and your fiance.

Satoru tells you about his friends, the workers who often visit you at the tea parties, and his kingdom; he shows you his abilities but never his family. You figured it was a touchy subject.

And you discovered each other in a much more intimate way. You don’t know when it started; you just know that it did. Maybe it’s because you miss and long for each other so much. Maybe it was everything and nothing, but what you know is that you like it—love it even.

You love what he makes you feel; you love his hands holding onto yours, his body against yours, and his lips on yours.

What you’re doing is wrong and an injustice to everyone involved. You, your fiance, and him, but you couldn’t stop. You don’t know how to stop, and it seems like Satoru doesn’t know how to stop either.

But you know better how perfect his control is; he just doesn’t want to stop.

It didn’t even occur to you how much time had passed until you saw the pocket watch in his hand.

"Satoru? How much time has passed?"

"Hmm..." he says, eyeing you. "Not much. You should try this cake! It’s your favorite."

He pushes the cake to you, and you couldn’t refuse. You saw the faint smirk on his face before your mind became heavy. "You belong here, love. You belong with me."

Something’s wrong. Your memory is foggy, your body is heavy, and it feels like you're floating through time. You feel like you're involved in something dangerous. What are they feeding you? You tried to remember, but all you remember is the delicious food during meal times and your favorite cake during tea times.

Your favorite cake? Since when do you like sweets?

You felt sick. You need to leave. Your family needs you. Your fiance needs you. What did Satoru do to you?!

Satoru wouldn’t do this to you, right?

But he already did, your mind whispers.

But he doesn’t know that you already know, and you can use that to your advantage. You can’t outsmart him forever, but just one chance is enough. A sneak attack.

The next time Satoru fed you the cake, you pretended to swallow it and pretended that it worked. When he left to attend palace affairs, you vomited the cake and immediately ran like crazy towards the palace garden, looking for a way out, when you noticed a familiar hole.

You crawled out of the rabbit hole, your clothes are dirty, and you're shivering. You realized it's autumn. You came here in the spring.

You ran like mad towards the estate, shouting, and you saw your family and fiance.

"My dear, don’t make us worry like that again!" your mother sobbed, clutching onto you. "Where did you go?!"

You couldn’t tell them the truth, so you just told a half-truth. That you don’t know. You just woke up on the estate in these clothes, with no memory of where you've been or what happened. You could tell by the looks your aunts and uncles shared that they were all thinking the same thing.

"It’s your childhood all over again!" your mother lamented. "This house is cursed!"

Seeing that your grandmother left the estate to your father in her will, your family decided to sell the estate as soon as possible, and you helped out with the logistics. Who gets what, and what will go to charities.

You thought keeping busy would make you forget the time you spent down the rabbit hole, but it didn’t. The dreams just keep reminding you of it and him; the memories couldn’t just unhappen.

And the way your eyes constantly wander towards the rabbit hole unnerves you just as much as it does your fiancé.

You thought that you wanted to be back here in the real world. In the arms of your beloved, in the company of your family and friends, but you could tell that it's not the same anymore.

Where did you truly belong? You know the answer isn’t in this world anymore.

The huge fight happened when you saw the rabbit hole gone, filled with dirt.

"What’s so wrong about that?" your fiance said when you confronted them. "It’s making you behave irrationally! I don’t know why you obsess over it!"

You’re dumbfounded. Why keep obsessing over it?

(Where did you truly belong? You know the answer isn’t in this world anymore.)

Because you belong there.

"We should just leave this place immediately. The reading of the will is done. Nothing keeps us here anymor-"

"Screw you!" you shouted, leaving your fiance behind.

You miss him. You miss the blue eyes, the insanely good looks, the insanity, and the thirst for that insatiable desire and passion for each other.

You laughed and cried while digging the rabbit hole. You’re right, Satoru. You were right.

And when you landed in the arms of the person you’ve been dreaming of, you sighed in relief because you’re finally back to who you wanted to be with—your own wonderland.

I MISS WRITING ABOUT HIM! FIRST TIME IN 2023 I THINK??
