Kidding. You get it whether you want it or not.

earthbound old man tier list

S Tier: Doctor Andonuts. idc what anyone says, he is a fascinating bewilderful tragic morally dubious rubiks cube of a character, and if i think about him for longer than 10 seconds i get so emo i wanna dye my hair black and run away into the woods. he is also very funny. i would squash him like putty.

A Tier: Wess. mother 3 wouldn't be mother 3 without Wess and i'm not kidding. i love how he is written as both a terrifying abusive father and also a genuinely wise antifa ally, the duality of humanity or whatever. a bunch of his lines still give me chills to this day. especially [ this one ]

Leder as well. absolute fucking real one. imagine taking a vow of silence for the rest of your life to protect your beloved community, none of whom even can remember the sacrifices you've made for them, singlehandedly bearing a lifetime of unfathomable trauma to spare them theirs. he is atlas with the planet earth on his shoulders. yet another character who turns my brains into spaghetti-os.

B Tier: George is one of the most intriguing characters in the series. Boy, I wish Itoi took the time to actually Write him!!! so many questions, so little canon material, but my imagination does drive me a bit to madness with this guy I fear.

C Tier: the fuck do you mean Geldegarde Monotoli was super wicked evil under Giygas' influence, kidnapped Paula, took over Cartoon New York with sheer capitalist ruthlessness - then as soon as you break the Mani Mani statue he's like -tiny bichon frise sneeze- "ouuugghhh goodness gracious i'm so sorry, i don't know what came over me, i am so harmless and frail and made of pudding also" -little pekingese cough- and Paula is like "don't worry ness 👧 he was just a sweet old man all along lol!!!" nvm it's pretty funny actually

Grandpa Alec goes in C Tier too. imo he's well written in chapter 1. his reaction to grief feels really off-kilter in a strangely human & believable way, like?? he is snapping at Lucas and immediately feeling remorse, cracking jokes to try and assure Flint (and himself) everything is ok when it clearly isn't, kooky silly and also unsettling at the same time. i think people forget that he's also a messy clumsy maladjusted grieving dad, just like Flint. but after chapter 1 he kinda falls off, doesn't have much interesting to say or add to the story. i find myself kinda wishing Lucas had a closer relationship to his grandpa implied post-timeskip… oh well.

is Jonel old? his sprite doesn't look ancient but considering his attitude & his adult kids I imagine him to be in his 60's probably. i like that he's a bit of an asshole, and his moment at the prayer sanctuary implies a religious aspect to the village that's super intriguing… iirc he has a line all the way in New Pork where he trash talks Flint for still holding out hope & tryin to find Claus, and it's like?? damn, Jonel, a cunt to the bitter end!! gotta love that.

likewise Mayor Pusher is one of those Tazmily villagers who really highlights how fake & callous some of these people can be. i love the part toward the end of chapter 7 where he blabbers about how much he hates this hick town and he's so eager to leave already, and when he catches Lucas eavesdropping iirc he's rude as ever to him. what a douchebag! no wonder his son is so depressed ❤️

Nippolyte is a benign real one and I like him, even though there's not much to him.

wish Scamp did or said literally anything of note before dying. oh well

D Tier: yeah fuck Mr. Carpainter though. i don't believe for a second he was solely driven to become a cult leader by alien brainwashing alone, dude's gonna be on some MLM shit within a year mark my words

??? Tier: i don't consider Mother 3 Porky an old man, i consider him Very a forever thirteen year old trapped in a sickly grotesque disproportionaltely aging body. but if you do consider him an old man, he's in the stratosphere tier blowing up the moon

                 Presenting — nam shinwoo as the rook.

— info.

name / nam shinwoo birthday / 930131 pronouns / he/him occupation / mayor’s executive assistant

— traits.

( arrogant, hot-tempered, charming, confident )

as he is the son and grandson of both the mayor and former mayor of ilmyo, nam shinwoo believes he is on top of the world. whatever he wants, he gets; and whatever he says becomes law; he is the epitome of arrogance. but of course, being raised into thinking that he holds divine powers, he is quick to anger — however, this doesn’t mean he’s impulsive. he’s quite the opposite, really. he chooses his fights wisely, and prefers to let money do all the talking. he doesn’t favor violence, but he isn’t necessarily against knocking someone’s front teeth out if it comes to it. despite his less than stellar personality, he draws people in – making them feel special than they really are. and that’s how he pulls in his victims: he uses his charms and effortless confidence to bring people up and drop them before they have a chance to blink.

— about.

triggers: violence, blasphemy

they say heavy is the head that wears the crown, but that only applies to those who are ultimately unfit to wear the it — the losers — but nam shinwoo is born just to wear the crown.

it first begins when he pushes a kid off the swing set — he’s five. he’s never had the reputation of being a pusher — impatient? maybe. loud? definitely. but never a pusher. the kid pushes shinwoo harder (it knocks the wind out of him), and a few seconds later, a back and forth pushing contest breaks out.

mother is called in and she scolds the boy for pushing shinwoo, and all shinwoo can do is to smirk at the child who hogged the swing set.

there’s excitement that he feels rumbling in his chest every time the child releases a teardrop, a feeling that he can’t form into words just yet.

so he just keeps smiling in victory.

–

when shinwoo enters middle school, he realizes that he likes kicking. he would kick rocks on the streets on his way to school, but he eventually stopped since mother didn’t like how shinwoo kept ruining his leather loafers.

so he joins soccer — he doesn’t mind it. and every time the ball would come his way, he would kick it harder in each game, imagining that he was kicking a person instead. at times, he would try to aim the ball at someone’s head, but would miss 2 out of 3 times.

(coach said he needed to work on his control and aim.)

it happens once in middle school — in his last year — when he’s all too frustrated by his final examination mark. his hands are balled into fists the entire day, his tongue ready to degrade the worthless bugs they call ‘classmates.’

and at the end of the school day, his hands latch onto the collar of some faceless kid. nam shinwoo, itching to hit until blood appears and a bone breaks, hits until every bit of anger dissipates into the bruises of his victim. the sun is setting by the time he’s finished his work, and he throws money onto the kid, tells him to keep his mouth shut if he knows what’s truly good for him.

and nam shinwoo realizes that indescribable feeling he gets whenever he beats someone into the pathetic mess is called thrill.

it’s dangerous, but he has never tasted anything more delicious.

–

ilmyo is not a place that will make his dream come true. and nam shinwoo’s dream is to be great — he doesn’t know in what way, but he knows he can’t amount to anything if he’s stuck in ilmyo of all places.

he sets his eyes on seoul — it’s an idea that his mother and grandparents oppose greatly. who will take care of them when he’s not around? and there is no way that nam shinwoo, their precious son and grandson, can survive in a big city like seoul.

how dare these people underestimate him.

the next day, he comes home with a broken nose. he gets on his knees, and cries to mother and his grandparents about how unsafe ilmyo is — he needs to leave to be safe.

–

he’s never been studious, and without parental guidance and a never ending series of allowance, he does whatever he can do enjoy his life to the fullest. classes are something he attends every other week, and when he does attend class, he’s either drunk or hungover. he doesn’t like the view of seoul in the day — all lined up with garbage and cigarette butts — he prefers the seoul nightlife; the one that welcomes anyone with open arms.

his hedonism knows no limits — the more he drinks, the more he becomes numb to the buzz. he no longer feels the dangerous thrill that he had come to love more than himself. it isn’t until he lays down a stack of cards and a couple of coins on the table that the thrill returns to him. it’s uncharacteristic of nam shinwoo to play safe, but he starts out his bets small, to test the waters. and the more hooked he becomes, the deeper his pockets get.

he doesn’t win all (and that’s what he hates about seoul, he’s just a small fish in a big pond there) but he has to grow up sometime, right? but that sometime isn’t that night — where he breaks a soju bottle on the table and brings it towards another man’s face.

nam shinwoo would have let the man go if he had only just cheated, but he absolutely despises people who makes him out as a fool.

–

nam shinwoo hates ilmyo, but he hates those stuck up city people even more — at least he’s something in his hometown.

nothing about seoul made him feel worshipped as much as ilmyo, especially now that he shares to these country folks about the joys of a stuck-up city life. every morning these people will pray to their gods, but every night they praise nam shinwoo for bringing the true light of their lives.

–

what the fuck did you just say?

nam shinwoo does not hate a lot of things in life. contrary to popular belief, he’s rather easy going. but he cannot stand the people who don’t know their place in life. and at that very moment, he hated kim donghyun the most.

who the fuck do you think you are, kim donghyun?

everyone in ilmyo should know that only the nam family can be mayors. the reputation of ilmyo’s city government cannot be dirtied you by an irrelevant bug.

don’t get so fucking cocky just because you’re engaged to choi goeun.

he screams over and over as his fist locks into hitting kim donghyun’s face over and over until somebody finally had the guts to hold him down.

so is he glad that kim donghyun’s dead? absolutely not. being relieved by kim donghyun’s death is the same thing as admitting to himself that he saw the guy as a threat.

and he’s not a threat.

he’s not.
