yet another ii realizaton!
mrphone made everybody he drew on those papers
The pizza cutter and the bowl guy from that prison were two of those drawings, but not everyone in that prison was a mephone creation (at least not confirmed like the bowl guy and pizza cutter)
But that bowl guy fully understood how the real world worked from the looks of it, he was disturbed by mephones base description of what he did (and also didn't seem to even know who mephone was),
This implies that mephone did generate every oc he's made, possibly including contestants that didn't make it to the show during contestant join vote thingies,
Theres people in the real world living full and complete lives, unaware they were originally generated to be TV show characters, and when toilet pulled the plug several random people in the world died.
The two guys in prison just glitched out of reality, anybody trying to explain how they died sounding insane, maybe someone was with family or friends and just vanished in front of them, maybe someone was just walking down the street then vanished, maybe somebody was alone at the time but their disappearance was noticed later.
Imagine the confusion at the mass disappearances of several seemingly completely unrelated people, all described as just glitching and fading from reality
Mephone made several real people with real lives, the contestants were just as real as anybody, and thanks to cobs being a greedy bastard several people died.
I could be misremembering parts but ngl I love the idea that cobs actions were felt even outside of contestant grounds, that thanks to him trying to take mephone's show even completely unrelated people had to face the consequences

i am literally the best at making rare pairs. i see two characters and immediately they are gay. my current favorite pair is the pizza cutter that said bon appetite or whatever and the judge from when mephone4 went to jail. the origin of this ship is that they were looking at each other in an official artwork or something and i decided they were meant to be. (im normal i swear)

i think in ii, culture has no effect on what type of object an object is
#wheucto#wheucto speaks#like. taco_ a type of mexican food_ is british. yinyang_ an asian??? chinese??? symbol (idk)_ is italian.#although i guess for them (particularly yinyang)_ you could argue that that's just theit voice actors? but idk#also. ii's universe probably has the same nations as we do. i cant say that w absolute certainty_ but real world places have been mentioned#such as france (french pizza cutter)_ spanish exists implying spain does as well_ and italy#also_ in the few scenes we see his back_ you can see mephone was assembled in new york_ which implies the existence of the USA#also they call taco british once. so britain is probably real#other people w possible nationalies are: suitcase (australian)_ fan (chinese)_ the floor (also australian).#i didnt really bring them up bc they didnt really bring any arguments against culture affecting what an object is#i mean you could also make the argument that taco and yinyang could have heritage (???) of their respective objects' cultural origins#but we dont know that for sure. so#this is like. a pretty unimportant (and maybe unintentional) part of ii's worldbuilding but it's interesting to me!!#there isnt like. a lot of worldbuilding for in ii (and most other object shows i've watched). and thats ok! not every story needs a lot -#- of worldbuilding! but i do wish there was more worldbuilding in object shows. probably is; haven't watched that many shows#anyways an implication of this is that parents sometimes have to look up what their baby is. or maybe theres a specialist#who specializes in knowing objects. from across the world. or smth#though in a time before the wonders of the internet_ there'd probably be a chance of them just. not knowing what their child was#and thus not being able to name them correctly in this universe

The worst coping method for III 17 (CW)
CW: depiction of drug use under the cut
Tumblr media
MePhone4 does the worst imaginable thing to prepare for anything.
He generated a pill bottle and took drugs.
That's right. He took DRUGS.
He then sees a lot at once, including his lover, the Announcer.
Artist's note: I wanted to draw MePhone4 on drugs for some reason, so I drew just that.
Got a chance to use some assets I managed to rip - lesbian pre-transition Bot thing I got from Tumblr (forgot user, sorry) and the new Pizza Cutter asset (y'know, the one from II2?).
Background.

Lost and Found
ii. tall grass and honey
Prev | Next
You learned the names of all of the animals relatively quickly. Except for the littlest dog. He didn't behave, so he didn't get a name.
Simon calls you Honey. That's.... not really your name, but there's worse to be called, you guess. You know it, too.
Maybe you're like the dog. Maybe you needed to behave, and you'll get your name too.
But... did you really want it? Simon had been welcoming for the most part. You didn't want this fantasy to end so quickly. You didn't want the cold reality to set in. You didn't want to be turned out again. The ache in your legs and hips reminded you of that.
No, you think to yourself, suddenly determined. No, you will not be turned out again.
Your room is empty. You're not actually sure if it's your room, but a spare. There's two dog beds and a cat tower in here. There's an empty glass tank, that was either used to house a reptile, or fish. But it was long dry, and long empty. It wasn't big, but it was something. It was yours, for now.
And Scraggle too. That cat was obsessed with anything that had to do with you. It would knead into your pillow, or lodge itself inside the layers of the few blankets Simon had given you. Anything that is yours is Scraggle's. That seemed to be the rule fir the majority of the house.
You didn't want to be turned out.
So you made yourself busy.
You tidy the house. Feed the fish pond, fill all the bowls. Shower Barrow when she gets too dirty from the garden beds, and water the grass. You cook.
You forgot how much you loved pasta.
Garlic noodles, spaghetti, fettuccine, lasagna, you missed it terribly. So you cook, in your spare time. You're too anxious when you don't have anything to do with your hands. You find that handmaking the dough is soothing.
The first few weeks were a bit of a disaster. You used what you could find in the kitchen, and substituted for what you didn't have. Simon was in the shower, it had been a long day. You didn't want to bother him, but you didn't want to go into town. So you would make do with what you had. You were good at that.
Scraggle sits on the counter, yowling their nose off, and you puff some flour onto their face to keep them occupied. You roll the dough out. It's not as smooth as you want it to be, and a little flakier in some spots. But you still made it. When you turn to grab the pizza cutter, Scrabble stomps their paws into the dough.
Oh well. Cat-print pasta.
It tastes a little off to you, paired with a last minute salad, but you don't think Simon minds. He grunts when you ask him if it was okay.
He's not a conversationalist.
Dog waits for his food. You meet the raccoons that night, standing in the distance, before hopping up the trellis to the rooftop. Oh well. You fill the bowls. You fill the water. You enter back in the house, and it's dark. Simon must've gone to bed. You forgot to feed the fish.
Dammit. You snag a cup full of fish food from the shed, and make your way out through the tall grasses to the fish pond with the willow.
During the day, the willow casts a green light over the pond, and part of the meadow. It's beautiful. If you could get your hands on some books, it would be a nice reading spot.
You scatter the food across the pond. Humming to yourself softly, you start to make your way back to the cottage, it's lights out.
Gooseflesh prickles the back of your neck as you pause. The innate feeling of something watching you fills you from head to toe. A twig snaps. The grass rustles.
You run.
Your hip joints ache, as adrenaline crashes over you. You think something is chasing you. You slam open the door, and with shaking hands you lock it, and bolt directly into your bedroom.
You close that door too– interrupted by a yowl, sorry Scraggle, didn't see you– and dive into your closet. He's going to get you. He's found you, he's going to get you-
Then Simon is in your room. He's wet, like he had just gotten out of the shower, and he looks worried– at least, you think he is. You didn't see him show much emotion, like a mask had been placed over his face, despite it being bare.
He asks you what's wrong. You barely hear him, the thunder in your ears and the pounding in your chest too much. He sits down with you. Gets eye level, but doesn't look you in them, like he would a spooked horse. You can't tell him. Your mouth won't work. You'll be turned out to the streets again.
He sits with you until you calm down. He doesn't expect an answer, but if he does, then he doesn't press for one.
Dog curls up next to you, and Scraggle tries to settle near your shoulders, from where you barricaded yourself in.
There's a soft look in Simon's eyes, flickering for a moment. And then he leaves.
You didn't expect him to stay, but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt. The pasta tastes sour in your stomach. Your mouth is dry. You should've told him. You could've told him, but you didn't. You should trust him, he gave you a place to live, food to eat. You should tell him what he's getting into. That you're a stray. A mutt. Someone who can't deserve this, that it's too much.
You fall asleep to these thoughts, Dog curled up next to you, and Scraggle on your tummy. The unnamed K-9 joins you at some point in the night, and Barrow ends up by the door.
There's a glass of water, and a note when you awake. There's a blanket over you too, that wasn't there before.
Brought this to you last night, but you were out cold. Wipe your eyes, Honey, you'll be just fine. I'll be gone til tonight. Make me a list, gonna head to the grocers tomorrow. We'll make spaghetti, yeah? -S
Signed, S. For Simon, you had assumed. You gently move Scraggle, who mewls in protest. Spaghetti. Yeah, you can do that. You drink some of the water, and make yourself some coffee this morning, as a treat. Barkmulch, the Dane, joins you in the kitchen this morning, leaning against you until you reach down to scratch his butt. He whines a little bit, and leans harder, practically pressing you against the counter with all his body weight. Since you've gotten here, you were pretty sure he could reach the top of the fridge if he wanted to, but didn't for your sake. You appreciate that.
You scratch his head, and then pick Scraggle up off the counter to carry them to your spot on the edge of the couch. You set Scraggle down, and it tries to burrow into the couch. It screams at you when you pull the poor thing out, scolding it for being foolish. This is why Simon sits on you, do you not learn?
You start on the bookshelf, pushing off your thoughts, and humming to yourself. You fix up the books. You find a few trinkets on the shelves, photos, and jars of dirt, or sand. There are locations on them, but you're not sure where they're from. You straighten up the shelves, before a photo catches your eye. There are four men, and a dog. You don't recognize any of them. You do a tally of your critters in your head. This is a german shepherd, and you don't have one of those here.
There was a man in a mask, another in a fishing hat, one in a baseball cap, and the fourth with an almost greasy mohawk. The man in the mask was... intimidating. You weren't a fan of masks. Was that a skull-?
Scraggle screams, and you almost drop the picture in surprise. You quickly set it back down, and continue fixing the rest of the shelf, somewhat hurried.
When Simon gets home, he comes to find you first. He's got some clothes for you to wear, things actually your size and comfort. Nothing too fancy, mostly basic colors, kind of loose, but still good enough to work in.
He asks you about the list. You hand it to him, sheepishly, heat rising to your face as your eyes dart away. You hate asking for things.
You see him glance over this list, brow furrowing as he reads it.
You dart off. You need something to do.
"Honey," he calls, presumably in the same spot where you left him. Scraggle yells down the hall. "This all you need?"
You peep out a yep, face still burning as you bury yourself into putting your new clothes away.
The floorboards creak, and you assume it's Barkmulch coming to investigate. Instead, Simon joins you in the doorway, still holding your list of three items.
"Honey." He grunts, trying to get your attention. You fold immediately, and look over your shoulder at him. "You can... you can ask fer more 'n this, y'know."
He knows that look. The harrow worry, the gaunt in one's cheeks. The urgency to do something, even now, your fingers twisting together. He's worn it for years. But he doesn't need to anymore. He's getting better. He doesn't need to worry about that kind of stuff.
"Honey," he calls your attention back from wherever it was drifting. He hands you back your list. "We'll work out a few more things t' put on there, yeah? I'll help you. I want at least ten things on here." He speaks calmly, gentle, like he's trying to coax a mule out of its pen.
You look at the list, then back to him. You weren't even sure of ten things you could make. He senses your trepidation, and reaches out for you hand. You don't have to take it, his eyes say. But his momma raised him right to offer. You take his hand.
By the end of the night, you're sitting next to Simon on the couch. You don't ask him about the pictures.
You end up falling asleep as Scraggle pulls away on your chest.
Your head falls onto Simon's shoulder and he startles, glancing down at you. You were warm and cozy and safe, and all his. It took a little while today, but he made sure any of your trails went cold. You handed a wolf in the woods your name. Don't worry, he can teach you that lesson later . But for now, he rests a gentle hand on your head. He gets a little warm in the face the further the thinks about it. The paper is plucked out of your sleeping hands.
His chest swells when he sees that you wrote down not ten, but twelve whole things.
>>Heading to the supermarket tomorrow.
>>I need to know that.... why, LT?
>>The missus wants to make pasta.
>>THE WHO?

Weird theory on II names
Spoilers for episode 16 ahead
I'd also like to warn this is mostly for fun and there's probably some detail that will prove this all wrong, but it's just an idea I had and I wanna hear people's thoughts on it.
I have a theory on II character names and how to tell who's real and who isn't. This is going to be a weird explanation so just bare with me.
Steve Cobs is obviously meant to be a pun on Steve Jobs, however due to this his name sticks out. He's one of the only characters with a name. However, I think this might show he's been one of the only few real people we've seen.
In episode seven of season 2, Mephone4 is sent to jail. In the new episode Cobs hints that this was in fact real jail, saying that it was one of the few times he screwed up. In the jail we only get one named character, Rusty Jo. While this is also a pun on "a cup of jo", Jo is also a real name. So the two times we see characters that can be presumed weren't made by Mephone4 had real names.
So what the hell am I trying to say? Normal objects have a first name then whatever object they are. So using Steve Cobs as an example we get: Steve (name) Cobs (object). Then we Rusty Jo we can presume it's something like Jo Cup.
We can also use Judge Gavel as an example of the object being the last names. The way to address a judge is "Judge [last name]" meaning that gavel is just his last name. So we have three have three characters that either have or could have a first and last name that weren't made by Mephone4.
Now there was also the other inmates that were in with Mephone4 besides Jo. While the ii wiki names the rest of them as "dagger, razor blade, swiss army knife" and more, they're never explicably named. This happens with many of the unnamed II characters like Pizza Cutter.
Now we also have Dr. Fizz, but I believe he is also a Mephone creation despite having a courtesy title. He probably made it because of the soda dr fizz. When he does appear it's after Mephone4 cuts the came because of not having a doctor near by, so he probably quickly made him while it cut.
So why doesn't the contestants and people Mephone4 made have full names? He's said it himself, he's lazy. Back then he was too lazy to give them names and later on just accepted that none of them would have first names. It'd be too weird to have the old cast have no names while the rest of new cast have names, or it'd be too much effort to come up with that many names.
This would also explain A.D.A.M's name, as Steve Cobs named him an actual name rather than if Mephone4 made him and named him "robot" or something.
Again, feel free to give your opinions on this, I'm curious.
TLDR; Real objects have a first name and their last name is just what object they are. Mephone4 was too lazy to come up with names so he never gave any of the characters he created names.

Considering people likes this, here's some more stuff.
- Ren's main languages are Italian and English. His Japanese can be considered broken at best since his mother barely cared for him. Sojiro was able to help him improve on it before registering the teen into Shujin.
- Ren was an unplanned child, via one night stand, that Peppino only found out about just DAYS before he's born. An awful mother who would've used him to get child support money from the government until Spaghetti fought for custody. He won the case which the woman been sour about since and later abandons Ren for it as payback.
- Peppino wanted to sell traditional Italian dishes at his diner but didn't have enough money to support a broader menu. He instead taught Ren on how to make them and even provides a family cookbook. The diner finally gets to expand the menu thanks to the money brought in from the Phantom Thieves' escapade.
- Ren inherited Peppino's temper than just some of his physical prowess. He is better at keeping calm than his father but that makes the eventual meltdown shockingly vicious. Once Ren loses it, any Physical resistance an enemy Shadow has can be considered worthless. He WILL beat the shit out his opponent with his barehands and nothing can stop him.
- Ryuji has broken spaghetti noodles once to see if Ren would react. Cue the blonde getting chased around Yogen-jaya by an angry Spaghetti cursing in rapid Italian. Ryuji doesn't dare try this stunt again with Peppino as he can feel his legs burn just thinking about it.
- When the cops chased Ren after punching Shido, he absolutely outran their cars. He can reach Mach II faster than Peppino so the chase was over before his pursuers could reach 30 mph. The police are still confused on how the fuck Ren did it.
- Introducing Peppino to the Persona definitely almost results in him punching Arséne outta fright. He hadn't been focused on them when he found Ren so the diner owner immediately freaks out upon the demon manifesting without warning. Peppino is just a walking ball of anxiety, k?
- No one knows who made the Golden Pizza Cutters but they tend to show up in almost every Metaverse excursion. Everyone was so confused when Peppino appears out of nowhere upon the item being collected. He's a physical fighter that completely ignores any physical resistances and can boost his already devastating strength with incredible speed.
- New functions were added to the Thieves' Den upon the two Spaghettis reuniting. One such thing being Tower Scramble were the Phantom Thieves can tackle Peppino's own adventure in Pizza Tower and unlock various stuff through completion. (A mod where you can play Pizza Tower as Persona 5 characters sounds interesting actually.)
- Ren has two pet Stupid(giant) Rats named Alfredo(albino) and Crouton(caramel). Yes, his friends alongside any visiting Confidants freaked out except for Haru. There definitely was 'Are They Rideable' question and Ren shows them a few old homemade saddles. Ryuji is the first to ask if he could have a ride.
Tumblr media
Here's another crack idea that popped into my head. Persona 5's Ren Amamiya/Joker being the biological son of Pizza Tower's Peppino Spaghetti.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Is it dumb? Yes. Is it absurdly stupid and insane? Yes. Do I regret this? FUCK NO. Let Joker be half crazy Italian with an even more nutty father who WILL pile drive god if he has to. Also his last name for this shall be Spaghetti, Amamiya being his middle, cause I ain't half assing things.
Peppino is the anxious father that does his best to raise his kid despite the various issues he has to face. Whether it be finding a decent school, make sure there's some money for a little rare treat, or keep Ren's awful mother from breaking shared custody rules. Do not trifle with this man.
Any rat/mouse/raccoon in the restaurant? Those are Ren's pets who eat the insects and scare off the bad customers. (Kid does lemonade stands to buy pet friendly soap alongside basic necessities.) Peppino doesn't question it since they make his son happy and take care of the pests.
Ren absolutely helped around the pizzeria whenever he could. First time Peppino cries is when his kid made his first pizza. The second being a 12 year old Ren getting him a well made chef's hat for a birthday present. (You can say our boy already has Rank 3 proficiency.)
All the Pizza Tower weirdness can be considered normal for Joker as he doesn't exactly come from the Personaverse. (I wholeheartedly believe in Ren being a sheer cryptid, even more after seeing this comic.) His mother just dumped him there during her turn and left Ren in that neighborhood where he comes across Shido. Yes, Peppino absolutely lost it when his precious little Spaghetti didn't come home that night.
He looked everywhere for Ren and the events of Pizza Tower only put a big fat Stop Sign to that for quite awhile. Meanwhile the younger Spaghetti didn't have a fun time adjusting until Persona 5 truly kicked off. He wasn't thrown in a rigged court trial.
Ren just knocked Shido's lights out then fucking outran the cops like his Pops would on a 3rd lap game wise. He finds Leblanc and camps out there for two months. Well until Sojiro barely manages to drag Ren inside as his sanity(heart) couldn't handle this strange homeless teen facing the harsh elements. The kid running like an insane Usain Bolt when startled didn't help too.
Ren is absolutely homesick thus his Persona get to hear it the most. (I'm aware of the sheer irony with a French Persona having an half Italian wielder.) Arséne is very curious to meet Ren's father at some point and cackled upon hearing his charge's antics.
The other Thieves have no clue about how bizarre their leader's origins is. Funnily enough, Haru wholeheartedly believes in Ren's stories despite even Morgana considering it a crazy tall tale. (She got rewarded with a video of an 8 year old Ren having a breakdancing contest against his dad while sentient pizza toppings cheered them on.) The guy doesn't blame his other friends and is instead waiting for the chance to blow their minds like the gremlin he is.
Well Ren can thank Royal's Third Semester cause guess who shows up for the true boss fight?! A wild Peppino at Mach 4 speed about to pile drive his kid's former councilor. Haru is the only person not gawking when Ren's dad drags the unconscious man out before FINALLY being able to hug his kid.
Joker gets an extra gift than just him and his friends being able to keep their Persona. He can now visit everyone with a simple press of his phone. Sojiro and Peppino absolutely butt heads in a mostly friendly father flavored rivalry. (Ren doesn't notice at first as he's too busy showing One Shot Kill Medjed to Gustavo.)
Peppino absolutely fainted when his son drops an entire suitcase with enough money to not only pay off the debt but to even refurbish the diner and still have cash leftover. Maximum money perks can make Mementos a good place to grind. Ren always converted a chunk of his spoils to the appropriate currency so he can help his dad.
Peppino's Pizzeria is a secondary hangout for the Phantom Thieves and absolutely gets subjected to Persona shenanigans. Game Night is for everyone despite the fact Carmen/Milady/Arséne tend to cheat at cards. Peppino takes it as an excuse to do it too.
The older Spaghetti does his best to support his son and his friends. Whether it be making pizza that grant great stat buffs, help in battle if Ren can find a Golden Pizza Cutter whenever traversing a dungeon or offer some simple advice. Peppino will continue to drop kick anyone who gets in the way of that.
And this anxiety driven beat shall play at maximum volume.

have you ever drawn any minor characters or failed debuters
for example that pizza cutter character or teddy bear
u should totally draw those two day,,,,,,, /hj
also, last thing then ill shut up, sorry about your cat :(
I haven't yet! I honestly should. Only concern being uhm teddy bear might jsut end up being a frickin bear (altho giving them dragon limbs might be cool 🤔)
I should do a mass draw of all ii characters probably, so I have refs at the very least, I think there's a decent amount that I haven't officially drawn out yet.
And it's ok! He's doing okie rn, he's been a lot more sluggish than usual but he's still kicking. We've got an appointment w/ the cardiologist monday so paws crossed that he can live a few more years with medication!

In the House Had RuPaul Play a Heterosexual
“Boys II Men II Women” (December 4, 1995)
Twenty-five ago, long before he’d become a media mogul and the face of an international franchise, Rupaul made 1995 his most mainstream year yet. Not only did he have his mainstream debut in The Brady Bunch movie, but he also did one-off guest roles in a number of network sitcoms. But only In the House had him playing a drag queen who was an avowed heterosexual.
Drew talked with In the House creator Winifred Hervey about her time on Golden Girls. Read his roundtable interview with her and other Golden Girls writers here.
Here is the In the House episode that has Debbie Allen playing opposite her real-life sister, Phylicia Rashad.
And here is an episode of Friday Night Videos that has Debbie and Phylicia hanging out — and Debbie referring to eldest daughter Saundra as “the older one.”
Drew appeared on last week’s Sam Pancake Presents the Monday Afternoon Movie to discuss Don’t Go to Sleep, a made-for-TV oddity that features Ruth Gordon getting killed by an iguana and Valerie Harper menaced by a child wielding a rolling pizza cutter. It’s weird!

Either 1. Analyze Jimmy’s dream sequence from The Eds are Comin. It can be whatever length, with or without screenshots. OR If you don’t want to do an analysis you may answer this question: How do you interpret Jimmy’s dream in The Eds are Comin? (If you have any questions look at the post on my page)
Jimmy’s dream analysis:
In the beginning sequence of his dream Jimmy is seen skipping outside the seemingly random corn stalk crop of unknown ownership only to be accompanied by two of his favorite stuffed animals.
Now I believe that this corn crop may be something he’s seen around Peach Creek County as in the Ed’s Big Picture Show there’s a lot of empty space and farm land which leaves me to believe that the cul-de-sac maybe located somewhere in the rust/bible of the United States. Originally I thought that since the show’s creator was from Canada that this might be based off his own country but after the second season where the kids begin school the American flag is seen in class leaves me to believe the former.
Considering that Jimmy is easily one of the most well off kids in the show his parents may have moved to the sleepy aging Peach Creek town to escape the city life and give their only child a more “wholesome” childhood where he could be safe from any evils that come with living in a highly populated area.
Jimmy sees the farmland as something quaint and “pure” without it being mangled so callously by man so it would be a part of the dream sequence however I think this is in part because Jimmy’s parent’s don’t take him traveling (as Jimmy expresses in other episodes wanting to go to Paris, Tokyo, the Big City [New York])  which is why he has no idea how those places look (other than television as computers didn’t seem to appear in the show as often.)
The stuffed animals leading him along on the dream show that Jimmy is still stuck in his innocence phase (although the Eds getting punished implies something else but I’ll get to that later) and that he’s very invested in staying in that stage longer.
As they skip along animals come to help Jimmy with his hair making it prefect and lead him onto the kiddie caterpillar train. 
This plays into his beliefs in fairy tales, magic, and how he still views the world. Sunshine, rainbows, and everyone is nice and not out to get him. The train/ride may be a nod to his boyish tendencies to like bugs but only if they’re ones of his own design (not gross, wiggly, and slimy.) 
When he meets Nazz, Rolf and Kevin while passing through the sweet meadow mountains each are dressed strangely and talk different from what they would normally say. All three are kind and polite to Jimmy showering him with compliments then send him off with warm goodbyes as he heads to the next scene.
I think its telling how Jimmy’s mind dresses each person.
Nazz is dressed like a princess because that’s how he sees her. Nazz is rumored to be the babysitter in the cul-de-sac so it wouldn’t be a stretch if Nazz shares more of her problems with him rather than any of the older kids because they have a bad habit of tuning her out because she’s pretty and Sarah is hardly someone that she could talk to as Sarah’s just a tad emotionally immature. 
Jimmy for all his faults and fairy tale ideals is very emotionally mature for his age and enough so to get along with Double D. He has been seen on numerous occasions trying to get people to open up to him about feelings (with limited success) so I doubt even someone as mature as Nazz could even ignore an ear when she needs it.
From how Nazz dresses and acts in later episodes I think that Nazz struggles with her self image because she knows that she’s pretty and how people will treat her if she dresses like she wants. We know that Nazz is an only child so we can safely guess that she probably has everything she wants and more (much like Kevin and Edd) but being the only girl that isn’t a Kanker in a neighborhood of boys is just asking to be treated delicately and then soundly ignored for whatever she says because she’s pretty. That she can’t get dirty and play with everyone else because of that extra glamour or worse be seen as a brat. Plus there’s her lack of confidence in wearing some of the finer things that her parents gift her.
Nazz doesn’t want all that noise but just to hang out with the guys and get out there and play. So when Jimmy dreams up Nazz its in this magnificent dress (probably one hanging in her closest)  and eating messily without being self conscious and happy.
For Rolf Jimmy sees him on the same level of him because like him Rolf believes in magic and mystic things (even if its from his obscure as hell culture.)  Rolf is in Jimmy’s mind, a tall child so its fitting that he dressed him as one (in an outfit I have no doubts that Jimmy had in the past because all his citizens in his dreams are well dressed) and still keeps his old ways of speaking. 
Kevin is more of this “cool guy” trope that Jimmy has for him. Shirtless and in a set of swim trunks, being all nice and cool to him like he doesn’t regularly see Jimmy as a dead weight wimp makes Jimmy happy. It’s no secret that Jimmy wants to be seen by the older kids as more than just a kid they have to mind but someone that can be depended on and with his own strength.
Obviously in real life Kevin rarely pays Jimmy any mind or looks as prefect but in Jimmy’s dream that’s how he sees Kevin (minus the nicer attitude) and hopes that one day they’ll be on better terms.
Jimmy gets off the station where it pans over to the Eds who are getting paddled by a gigantic doll. The Eds aren’t mad at Jimmy as they get swatted repeatedly and even Jimmy wishes them well as he goes on about his way.
Jimmy’s still sore at the Eds for some of their trickery but sees it as a valuable lesson.  He understands thanks to the Eds that he can’t always be so trusting and has grown as a person to recognize such behavior in other people.
Jimmy meeting Sarah with a head surrounded by hearts, Sarah skipping out to meet him with flowers blooming at every step she takes, the lighting, setting.
Sarah is Jimmy’s one true love. She protects him, stands up for him (most of the time), takes care of him-Jimmy adores her with all his being and couldn’t imagine a life without her. She is his hero and worships as one.
When the lighting changes and the ground starts to tremble because of the alien/pizza cutter thing causing Jimmy and Sarah to panic.
Oh boy Jimmy can’t function too well without Sarah and the sequence hits it home. Jimmy realizes he doesn’t have the knowledge or strength to deal with something like this. II find it funny that he didn’t dream Sarah to be much stronger or aggressive like she is in real life but then again Sarah still is just a kid.
When the ground is cut up and the cu;-de-sac is getting hauled into the sky.
A full on nightmare where Jimmy faces facts. He can’t save Sarah, he can’t even save himself and that he is what he always fears to be-too weak too help his friends. 
No matter how Jimmy sees himself doing great things in fairy tales Jimmy knows that deep down even in those fairy tale stories he wouldn’t be the bold prince, the brave knight or even a helpful squire- he’s the villager that faints in the town square at the mere mention of invaders inching closer to the border and he knows it.
He can’t even escape reality in his dreams. 
Falling to his death as Sarah calls for him.
His greatest fear realized and a classic way to “wake up” from a bad dream.
I can’t recall what episode proceeded this one but I’d like to think its one where Jimmy was unable to help Sarah. It would give the episode more depth but considering how they don’t usually have 2 part episodes its doubtful.
