[smileposting]

what are your feelings on inspekta being both a sympathetic character and a (now former) fascist?

WELL. first of all, i think it's Probably worth noting that even while GGG's representation of the conditions that can give rise to fascism are Uncannily accurate at times (as outlined in this very excellent post by elkian) it is Also a story in which the central message is "maybe talk to your friends instead of conspiracy-posting when you start to feel bad about yourself, dipshit," and therefore its representation of fascism/fascist thought As A Whole is very... how do i say this without sounding disparaging. "saturday morning cartoon"-esque. i think this is pretty apparent in how the worst that the bizzyboys' reign of terror ever gets is banning The Concept Of Art and not, like. genocide. the only Actual fatal threat (the rift) is saved for the very end, and inspekta/hector is talked down before it can actually cause any fatalities -- otherwise, inspekta and the bizzyboys would be very different antagonists that would require the narrative to treat them much more harshly, and this would result in a very different game overall (although not one i would be opposed to playing.)

second of all, i wanna talk more about the idea of GGG being less of a game about taking down a single power-hungry fascist and more an examination of the conditions that can eventually lead to fascism if left unchecked. for just one example, we can see that even before inspekta came into power (or at least, before he started his corruption arc) and even in a world where every god is genuinely kind and just and deserving of their position, it was generally The Norm to not really call them out To Their Face - any displeasure a character voices with a god's (apparent) decision is directed to each other and the godpoke, not to the god themselves, even when that god is perfectly open to visitors and/or feedback. and this is bad because despite the gods no longer being Physically human, they are still just as fallible - they have a tendency to jump to conclusions, they let their devotion to their interests or one another cloud their judgement, they struggle with showing vulnerability (which, ironically, makes them more vulnerable than they would be otherwise.) not only does the grove benefit from regular contact with the gods to make sure that their needs are being met -- it benefits the gods, too, by way of keeping them from getting lost in their own heads and losing touch with their own humanity.

i think it's also worth noting that the bizzyboys are not the only characters we see buying into fascist rhetoric, or at least stuff that benefits fascism in the long run. you could argue that anyone who bought into inspekta's framing of king in the first place also counts, given that to do so would probably Also require one to believe that the gods are infallible. it's also worth noting that a Lot of the more notable supporting characters who fall into this are also doing so out of a profound sense of alienation; saul can't remember the last time he talked to any of his friends and he thinks nobody takes him seriously, pollina's students don't sound like they're being taught much of anything about milldread's history and therefore they have very little to actually connect them to milldread, nobody likes rick brick and he has no interiority to speak of By Design, etc etc. all of these characters, however, are also treated with a fair amount of empathy - ol' bloom turns out to be Correct in believing that saul doesn't have what it takes to kill him and once the issue of the harvest is solved, he's welcomed back with open arms, pollina's students are like 8, and even rick brick's story ends with him beginning to realize that maybe it's okay if a story only appeals to its author and nobody else.

tl;dr: if ggg was even Slightly less cartoony than it actually is, this aspect of inspekta would come across as pretty jarring, but given the aspects of fascism that GGG chooses to focus on and how it treats smaller antagonists, i can't really imagine inspekta's story ending any other way. if i Did have any actual concerns, i'd say maybe it's that the bizzyboys being from the drain + the drain having such a negative connotation can get kinda dicey? something about the idea of fascism being an Evil Foreign Entity and not something that can just as easily start at home doesn’t sit quite right with me. but ofc a lot of emphasis is placed on the bizzyboys' humanity and potential to do good if not for inspekta's own Complexes getting the better of him (and even inspekta's own genuine capacity for leadership before that happened) so that's probably more of a potential bone to pick with fanwork, given how little exploration drain actually Gets in canon.

also i hope this doesn't Need to be said but just to be clear: i'm not trying to like, call out limbolane or Inspekta Himself, just examining what this aspect of his character was trying to Accomplish + how it relates to the game's themes and such. with that said i am very much still a novice when it comes to political analysis of media so if anybody more well-read than me wants to chime in, Please feel free to do so lol.

Hello, I saw your demigod Godpoke au and I was wondering how you think the gods view demigods? Like do you think they'd view them as an equal, or like how a cat's instincts can lead it to mothering tiny animals?

Hi! I think probably the latter

Demigods (in this au), while holding more power and living far longer than the average mortal, are still quite small compared to the gods and will indeed die one day.

[player-1]

Me, trudging through the Malady Mania suddenly consuming the GGG fandom: Hm, I need to put something positive into it for a change (besides the other brave souls also trying to ignore the horrors)...

So!

Reasons below

Patapon 1-3's Megapon: -First introduced in mission 26 (Volcano Guardian) in Patapon after defeating the beast Ciokina, it is the tallest known unit (other than Dekapon) with a pension for AoE attacks but low hp.

-Different drum combo produce a variety of attacks; soundwaves, sonic balls that attack multiple enemies, and even a chance to create fire/burn damage during Fever Mode.

-Patapon 2 Megapons can be split into multiple classes, with one notable variant Babassa just so happening to have a medium chance to inflict 9999 fire damage to a boss enemy (from the wiki).

-...While it's not entirely important for og Megapon, I thought it was funny to mention. Ah yes, that one band kid that just so happens to harness the power of the sun, and they look so happy about it too! :)

Great God Grove's Megapon: -Originally owned by King, the previous Godpoke before the main character (who's also called Godpoke by the Grove locals) and the soon-to-be God of Eloquence. The MC Godpoke found the Megapon after it fell into the boat they were riding to the Grove from the Spire, and believe me, it's a pretty long drop.

-Has a built-in feature of "taking the words out of people's mouths" via word bubbles, as well as ejecting items and said-word bubbles back at people (with varied results).

-Megapon was also called "the heavenly horn" by one of HobbyHoo's gods Thespius Green (the name hasn't caught on yet).

-The fandom theorized Megapon is sentient to some degree, either after years of work with King and/or from the accumulation of the messages they sent (sass is optional).

So if you're part of the GGG fandom, welcome to the funky world of 2008-2011 drum beats, a journey of holy guidance (ie. religious crusades) by the Mighty Patapon to IT, some tiny but persistent dust mites, and the now growing hype for its spiritual successor Ratatan.

If you're part of the Patapon fandom...Believe me, it's a wonderfully delightful puzzle game about communication, Gods, 1970-80's vibe of a soundtrack (courtesy of Louie Zong), and the coming A-pocky-lips. If you just so happen to stumble upon it cause of Click Clackstration, Inspekta cramps, Super Migraine Bauhazzo, and so much more to surely come... I would like to apologize on their behalf and happy Women’s History Month :')

can u pls write imagines abt capo x a god reader ? 🥹🥹🥹 ur post abt it was so intriguing. i #needthat

OUGH I love non human readers SO MUCH It's my SHIT. This won't be based off the AU I've been working on about the same concept tho

What Reader is the god of is left ambiguous, so you can be whatever you want to be :)

This got longer than most of my other stuff so it's going under a read more

Capochin really never cared for any other God during his time as Hector and Inspekta's right hand man, what he knows about the other Gods is literally what he's overheard from the Bizzyboys and whatever false rumors he had to spread. It isn't until after Inspekta's fall and the Bizzyboys being disbanded that he actually pays a little attention to the other Gods.

He moves to your town at the recommendation of Godpoke, who assures him that the small town would be perfect for him. The townsfolk are forgiving and the God that resides there holds no ill will against him. He's not 100% sure he believes the Godpoke, even after meeting all the townsfolk who treat him with kindness despite the trouble he's caused.

Capochin never actually planned on meeting you, he really wanted nothing to do with the Gods anymore after Inspekta, but Godpoke practically held a gun to his head (they asked real nicey) to deliver a letter to you.

Capochin, of course, is a fool who develops crushes EXTREMELY easily. He already thought you were attractive based on the images and effigies littering the town, so seeing you in person was... a little embarrassing for him. He ends up stumbling over his words and is blushing the entire time he's trying to hand off the letter to you, trying extremely hard not to notice the expression of amusement on your face.

Whether its unluckily or luckily for him, you took notice of him after his first visit. Upon Godpoke's next delivery to your domain you express your interest Capochin, asking Godpoke to find a way to get him to visit again. Godpoke, ever the match maker, gives you a thumbs up and what could only be described as a devious giggle.

Capo ends up having to deliver a vast majority of your mail in the end because Godpoke gave him sad puppy dog eyes and a "I'm too busy to deliver these please help :("

At first you just find Capochin to be something amusing, the way he blushes and panics, his stumbling over words and the way he avoids eye contact. You'd been a God for quite a while, so you're used to the way humans would treat you, but he was something more fun and interesting. You were aware of the fact he had worked directly under Inspekta, but he also acted like he had never been in the presence of a God in his LIFE and he didn't know what to do.

Over time he gains more confidence speaking to you, managing to make eye contact a few times and lessening the amount of stumbling in his words. You also start to see him less as a passing amusement and more of a friend. His crush on you is still VERY much there, and if anything spending so much time with you has made it worse.

He isn't as sickly devoted to you as he was to Inspekta, you treat him less like a dog and more like he's actually human, but he'd still probably do just about anything you asked of him. Not that you ask Capo for much of anything, really. It makes him feel weird to talk to somebody in such a high position of power over him and them. Not being extremely condescending or asking him to do awful things in their name.

You are highly complimentary of him, though. You notice everything that goes on in your little corner of the Grove, so you see him doing nice things for the other townsfolk in secret. It flusters him to no end when you thank him for gifting the lonely elderly lady flowers, even if he just left them on her doorstep and ran after knocking so she wouldn't know it was him.

You develop your own little crush on him over time, he's a funny and charming guy when he isn't causing trouble for everybody. Though you also don't want him to feel pressured into a relationship with you just because you're a God, so you just keep your little crush a secret.

That's right baby! Idiots in pining again! Godpoke comes back to your town, sees you and Capochin dancing around your feelings, and heaves the sigh only a cowpoke who's played match maker between Gods too many times would sigh.

classic ol' tumblr, never putting my art in the ggg tags! (i seriously have no idea what they have against me and those tags)

These are my children, look at them ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Anyhuzz my ggg ocs for my coolz au thingie ive been working on!! ^_^ their story is still very much in development, but if you wanna read more about them, its under cut

I drew these on roblox freedraw, so the quality isnt the best.

But we have;

Demetrius - He/they - God of culinary

Callie - She/They - God of mathematics

There are other characters for this au, but I'll post other stuff eventually

again, this story is still underway, so this is only a wip!

So basically the idea for this au is that its set 99 years after the original game. Callie is the newest god, and everyone is celebrating the achievement of her! But with everyone celebrating, theyve missed something detrimental, that the rift wasnt fully closed! It's closed enough to not do much damage to the grove - but huge if not fixed. The new godpoke has to go around to god to god to inform them and make sure the grove isnt off balanced.

With that, this is the story with Demetrius and Callie. As previously mentioned, Callie is the newest god, but with allthis new power, she feels like she'll lose her old self. She has friends that shes afraid of losing overtime, and that people will see her more than she really is. Shes a humble god!

Demetrius on the other hand, is concerned for this new god. With his (platonic, or maybe not, it's up to interpretation!) love language being through baking, he continues to bake various desserts, but she will not speak up on any of her concerns. Hes excited to work with them for the fact baking includes plenty of math. So this opportunity is perfect for a big partnership! Yet, they cant get to her.

id definitely would like to hear what you guys think! wether if you have any constructive criticism, or something you just like about it - do tell!

[greatcultgrove]

Its Megapon! Due to not being able to draw Megapon correctly, you get blurbs of text from me about it!

The Megapon! constructed by King! A sentient megaphone powered only by the remnants of an old god that...looked fairly similar. Inspired perhaps? The Megapon certainly has learned alot over the years, it isn't what it used to be though sometimes it misses it's old appearance. Best not to dwell on that though. It's learned alot from King.

Just as usual, the Megapon is able to take the words out of someone's mouth and spit them back out. Not only that, but Megapon can record sounds and play them back! Be careful though overloading it with sounds can cause it malfunction!!! Playing extremely loud noises or distorted noises can also harm it!!! It can be harmed by blunt force, however it has a rather tough exterior, leaving it mostly unscathed if you just so happen to want to throw it around like a toy. As it travelled with King, it learned alot about humanity. If you knew it pre-fragment, you'd really only see an egotistical, sarcastic, Scar-Like apex creature. It prefers also to not think about that. It still holds some of that old air, however it's been heavily reshaped. The Megapon also seems to have special connections with certain people, like King and Godpoke!!! Think of it like a close friendship or something more.

May I please have some. Platonic Patty with a god reader headcanons. I’d prefer if the reader’s domain was left unspecified if possible. I’m always a little nervous requesting x nonhuman reader stuff so feel free to take your time on this/gen, and also I’d like to say that your domains post was one of the most wonderful things I’ve ever seen from this fandom ever.

I LOVE NONHUMAN READERS!!! I relate FAR more to a nonhuman reader than I do to a human reader, so please never be nervous requesting nonhuman readers to me. Also I'm SO HAPPY people liked the domain post !! I was a little nervous posting it (like I am about most of my posts) but seeing the reception to it has been soo validating to me and my love for dimensional weirdness <3

Also all reader gods will be as ambiguous as possible unless otherwise specified! This is so you could take a few of these headcanons for your own characters with less issues :)

As mentioned in a few previous headcanons, I think Patty would take on the job of helping Godpoke with deliveries. Though he typically focuses on delivering mail to the mortals, sometimes if Godpoke is EXTREMELY busy he'll help take care of the Godly mail.

That's how you two officially meet, because while the two of you were aware of each other's existence before (him knowing you're a God and you knowing him as one of the Bizzyboys causing some mischief) you had obviously never talked to each other.

Patty is enthusiastic about delivering your mail, greeting you with the type of energy only a dog seeing a ball would have. He does apologize for his part in causing havoc on the Grove and your town specifically.

He's a charming lil guy, so OBVIOUSLY you find it in your heart to forgive him. Patty is VERY talkative, with a million and one questions about you, your town, even mundane things nobody would ever think to ask a god, like what your hobbies were. You humor him, of course, because you rarely get visitors who actually stay to chat for a while.

Patty is VERY sad to leave when the time comes, but that is quickly wiped away when you tell him he's free to visit you anytime he'd like. He's practically bouncing out of your realm with excitement for his next visit.

He practically BEGS Godpoke to let him handle most, if not all, the deliveries to your town. Patty takes every opportunity to visit you and tell you about the mortal world and random gossip he's heard. Sometimes he sneaks in a puzzle or a board game to play with you (despite you telling him you can literally manifest anything you'd ever want or need, being a God and all).

Patty is probably your number one fan, all things considered. He goes on and on about how you're the COOLEST God in the Grove. He isn't unhealthy about his admiration for you, he just thinks you're his really cool friend who just so happens to live forever and have powers his puny mind couldn't comprehend.

You find having Patty around to be something enjoyable. It's nice to talk to somebody who isn't a God (though you do care for your fellow Gods deeply). You find yourself looking forwards to Patty's visits and the hi-jinks he likes to tell you about.

Eventually you mention to him off offhandedly that a few of the Gods have human disguises they use to wander the mortal realm and that peaks his interest. He practically BEGS you to don a human form to go to the fair with him.

You (not so) begrudgingly agree and he's so excited he's practically vibrating. He drags you all around the fair to try different foods and games. You two see a few other bizzyboys around and Patty excitedly introduces you as his bestest friend in the whole world (don't tell Godpoke, Please)!

Overall your friendship is exciting, both because Patty has all the energy of a Golden Retriever seeing a duck for the first time and because you think he's a funny little guy.
