Every character Jeremy Jordan plays just becomes a silly little guy by virtue of the Jeremy Jordan Is A Silly Little Guy Principle. And the characters get sillier if he returns to the character

Jack Kelly - silly little guy with newspapers (silly guyified between OBC and proshot)

Clyde Barrow - silly guy with a gun (soooo much sillier of a guy in proshot vs OBC)

Dr Pomatter -silly little doctor guy

JM Barrie - silly goofy little guy with bonus trauma ending

Seymour Krelborn - the og silly little guy and Jeremy makes him the silliest

Jay Gatsby - a very silly little guy (the only role I’ve seen him in live and can confirm indeed very silly)

Winn Schott - very silly little guy

Hazbin Hotel - the absolute silliest little guy

Shirai and Posuka's answers to fan questions: pt 2

Reminder that the English answers posted by the officials are machine translated, so there are some inconsistencies (like "About Never" being the auto translation for "TPN", some mess-ups between first and third person pronouns in the answer about Ayshe etc.)

Pt. 3 will be the final part!

Am I the only one who is kinda (and with kinda I mean very) bothered when people claim "the Promised Neverland-fandom is dead" like ??? Yeah we're not massive anymore. Yeah S2 of the anime fucked up a lot of potencial. But there are still a lot of fans around here on Tumblr, new artwork everyday, people who come back after some years, discussions and stuff. It really doesn't help to talk down things you like and not interact with others if you want to see it flourish.

When you watched an hour and a half long lore video on Jake and the Neverland Pirates (by Athena P / @what-is-my-aesthetic) and it single-handedly made me revisit the show, unearthing the story that was my proudest creation in my middle school era with it. So now I am rummaging through my camera roll to find a doodle from 2022 with both my AU Jake and the canon Jake to prepare my poor, unsuspecting followers for the amount of brainrot that is gonna follow this post-

The main thing I have against Spotlight: Hot Rod is that it portrays him as being constantly weighed down by past losses and guilt, to the extent that he even limits himself for fear of facing the potential negative consequences that his misjudgement might inflict onto others - the "prefer to go solo" line - when it contradicts the very essence of his character as established in MTMTE and the main comics (even Autocracy), which specifically presents him as the type of person who is unburdened by the past and for the most part consciously remains unaffected by the consequences of his actions. It's why he has a perpetual Peter Pan thing going on, because he moves on from one day to the next, one crisis to the next, for four million years without letting the experiences change him - which includes the experiences of deaths and sufferings of both himself and others - and maturity and growth cannot be achieved without change.

His impulsiveness and headstrong obstinacy is in part a compensation mechanism for insecurity and subconscious self-doubt but is also an intrinstic aspect of who he is, someone who plows onward while refusing to look back. He can feel sorry but he does not do regret, much less mire himself in it like his spotlight appears to suggest. As a matter of fact he doesn't mire himself in anything at all - be it politics, responsibility, or guilt. He doesn't regret Nyon, nor Ironhide, nor Optimus' resignation, nor leaving Cybertron, nor trusting Megatron. Not even the Overlord incident, since although he does feel bad for his poor decision getting a bunch of people killed, in the end the biggest issue that he has with it is the 89/101 voting result (which isn't even solely about Overlord).

It's obvious that he wants - expects - to stay as captain in spite of everything and having the vote cut so close got him hard because it's a blow to his ego. He practically admits to this when Optimus calles him out, which again is in direct contradiction to his spotlight monologue.

If he's willing to apply this kind of introspection for a failed mission that can’t even be attributed to his fault, then a lot of his later screwups would never have happened.

Choosing to return the Matrix to Optimus is supposed to be a landmark incident of Rodimus' character growth, yet he regresses right back in MTMTE, in which he develops a recursive pattern of messing up, trying to do better by making amends, then returning to his old ways because he can't fully commit. There's no fundamental change going on. I would argue that the true pivotal moment of change to his character took place during his talk with the guiding hand in Mederi, when he first learns to look past himself to accept what's best for other people, how his decisions might affect them etc. - even if it clashes with his own desires.

And then he chooses to save Getaway, and the speech that gave everyone the confidence to open their matrices. There's change and growth and maturity, he learns to fully empathize and appreciate the people around him. But with this growth comes a double-edged sword: by opening himself to connect with other people he leaves himself open to be affected as well - he is irrevocably changed by his experiences aboard the Lost Light, by the people around him he's grown to care about, so that when the Lost Light lands for its inevitable end and everyone departs to pursue their own lives, he alone remains mired in place, with nothing but the past to cling to. After a lifetime of moving on and brushing horrors off without lasting issue he's suddenly unable to move on. The remainder of his life becomes defined by the weight of memories and loss (and the empty comfort of a parallel universe of which its existence he'll never know).
