#mi cerebrote no me deja decirle de otra forma. el ttrap nunca se me quedó suena raro

[3point14a]

Everytime i think about Town i feel my sanity leaving me a little because honestly what the hell??? is wrong with him? Like yeah of course i can read him like how im sure he was intended to be read: Orphan animal lover who is overall just someone who is nice and a bit of a walking doormat. But I can also act crazy and look wayyyyy too deeply into stuff and descend into madness (like how I often tend to do)

He doesn't really have that much of a character, but he has some things that stand out to me: 1) He doesn't have that many friends. This is true for all of the villains since they were confined to their own group, but I can see why Cami and eak would prefer to stick to a smaller group, Town however?? with whats presented to us he looks like someone sociable and genuinly very open to talk to other people (refer to approaching meg and joy unprompted to promote his stupid juices) And he does seem to get ALONG with people (meg said hi to him in a happy way) but it's not really any sort of actual friendship but just friendly aquantainces. 2) He's just?????? uncommunicative?? A part of him that always stuck out to me has been this ONE moment in "my favorite villain", the one where Eak alludes to having lost someone. Eak gets angry because hes WORRIED and Town keeps acting all soft and confused and only ever reassures Eak AFTER he left. Once he realized that acting oblivious was not helping anything, Town does call for Eak to come back, but he only actually reassures him and gets all serious AFTER he has been left completely alone. Why not tell him that to his face?? Why not tell him with full seriousness that you understand and that it'll be ok, why did he wait after he left is he stupid?????? 3) His song ok yeah. Dead parents, not the biggest fan of the song because I'm not the biggest fan of his parents being dead, and also most of it centering around animal stuff is a bit meh to me. BUT he does say stuff that i think is worth looking into aside from the surface level "he acts happy but he's actually sad inside </3" "People see me laugh. But inside I also tend to suffer" the use of TEND here is interesting to me. He's not saying he's activelly suffering and that it always haunts him, it's just sometimes, like every other person. He also tends to suffer as everyone does, and I feel like it's him sort of trivializing his issues and his suffering because he TENDS to feel bad, as everyone does. "And I miss you today, even if my eyes say i don't " what did he mean by this. What do you mean "even thought my eyes say i dont" what does that mean??? I think that it sort of means "even if im not actively crying about it" because eyes and tears and all that. "i miss you even if i don't show it" which just further extends into how he dealt with eak in that fight they had. I know you're worried and I know it will be fine even if I don't outright say it." "But I know that crying only makes you suffer" I think he just doesn't let himself be all that vulnerable at all in an unhealthy way, because that's a crazy thing to say. I know he's basically saying "Crying won't fix stuff" but in the context of grieving your parents, that's an insane line! and it just keeps launching me back to how he doesn't really show genuine seriousness or determination to anyone else because he doesn't want to worry people or up the stakes "you taught me to laugh" everything will be fine if he just powers through it acting like he's stupidly oblivious and happy 4) The drinks

Town is a lion and that much is painfully obvious from the very start, it's really present and he and eak are the only characters who straight up say "we are a lion and an eagle". Him being a lion makes sense as in he's a play on the cowardly lion trope, very well known and very fitting for him in my opinion. But then the vegan part is just????? there i guess??? He's so ESTABLISHED as a lion that making him explicitly a vegan is so strange to me and i can extrapolate it into something so much more crazier. His eating habits in canon went from "health nut who makes really gross drinks" to "vegan". It wasn't always just not eating meat. As the drink he gives meg and joy does have snake and cricket. So at the start he was a bit supersticious about health and a bit fixated on it and how it ties to what you eat. THEN it spiraled into "eating animals is wrong", which was retconed to fit his backstory with his parents being big into helping animals and all of that, but if i take it at face value and take that change in perspective as a genuine change in how he thinks. I think it can be easily tied into his fixation on health spiraling further and further not only to be more supersticious (a lot of people thinking vegan diets are inherently healthier than processed meat) but more "moral" (a "moral" person would think killing animals is wrong). * what the hell do we get from all of that? Going back to his song, he has lines like "It's not fair, i promise to be happy" "What happened was because you loved with your heart". His parents are objectively "good" people, who despite it all never really cried or lamented and had a positive outlook on life, and got hurt doing a morally correct thing. He himself has to be like them, because he has to be a good and moral person, it's not fair if he cries or worries people, it's not fair to let people fight their battles alone, because it's what a good person "would" do His defining trait WAS the drinks being "healthy" and he himself really valuing health. He shares all of his special drinks and he tries to convince Eak to eat "good" how he does, because good people try and save others just like how his parents saved animals.

His song establishes that most of his happy go lucky self is a bit of an act, and that is reinforced before hand in his fight with eak when he acts like an idiot, and i like to think that it further extends to how he generally presents himself as friendly and harmless, he has this view in his head of how "good and moral" people should be thanks to his parents, and he has a fear of being unhealthy and living less ALSO thanks to his parents and their "sacrifice". If you are gonna get hurt you better do it for the sake of someone else, rather than for a selfish reason, like eating "junk food" or overly processed stuff, or like being a part of the villains group for the "greater cause" that is Cami (suposedly, what did they mean by that). If you're going to be a hidrance, better deal with it on your own rather than dragging others into it. AKA him clearly taking the whole villain ordeal seriously when he's on his own, but trying to be friendly and relaxed and harmless when in front of others. And thats it, did my ramblings make sense? probably not lol, but yeah, i like taking him a bit more seriously than just this friendly guy who is also sort of STUPID and cant READ A ROOM. And all of this is way worse in my au lol... being vegan is genuinly way more harmful because LION, and he's way more crazy about health not only with eating habits but germs and stuff. On the good side: at least his parents aren't dead to me!!!!
