I imagine both drifter and bobby are somewhat desensitized of death. Bobby more so cares less of corpses and sees them more as things to loot, while drifter is somewhat numb to the ticking timer he's in (he makes off handed jokes about himself that sounds slightly concerning). Drifter still respects the dead and what theyve left behind, thinking that borrowing their weapons as some sort of relief for the dead (Quirrel's words ;u;). "Borrowing", because he knows well it will be used by others when these things outlives him, and hes ok with it. (He also believes that a tool that still serves its functions has no reason to go unused)

Bobby is a loud and proud jerk, and drifter rattled that concept simply by just being himself, unexpectant on how it would affect bobby. While he had been familiar of death, he never properly grasped the concept of losing someone he truly loved.

And he doesnt know how to deal with it.

I really love hope is a thing with feathers and I also really LOVE the hope as a sewer rat poem too but I wish it was not explicity written as "well actually" against Dickinson asgvsjnk. The imagery is SO GOOD but this whole vibe of "my metaphor is better than your metaphor" kinda sours it for me

i feel somewhat responsible for this, even if i’m not the one saying these things. I’m genuinely so sorry.

No need to apologize! It's not one singular person doing it and truth be told I don't think it's a large majority that thinks that (albeit the ones that do are quite vocal). I didn't mean to upset anyone or anything when complaining about it, I was just letting off some steam.

Having a yap session under the cut sorry I feel like rambling under your ask anon.

Admittedly, I do think there are reasonings for people thinking this way. A lot of the focus with Clash has been on the cogs, especially after the 1.3 update. Which I can't say I blame them! Managers were something new and exciting and (from what I can tell) really separated them from the other servers. I don't blame them for wanting to put focus on that because that was their thing. Alongside other things, but majorly when you hear Clash the managers are mentioned in someway shape or form. But as we all know, toons ended up taking the short stick from this. This isn't helped by the gameplay itself, being mainly a fetch-quest deal so you often only talk to npcs once or twice unless if they're repeated ones and the taskline wasn't entirely accessible on the wiki for a while (shoutout to the wiki maintainers. The taskline script is a savior). Which I'm quite excited to see if they deal with this issue with the rewrite. I imagine they will, but anyways. Social media posts would often contain more managers than toons, which I also believe they're starting to fix. And ontop of this, I believe most of the team in the early era of the sever is gone, so there's been some stuff lost in the change. So yeah, dialogue/writing has been kind of rocky. AGAIN- I am completely aware of the rewrite going on and I am not judging them harshly based off of their current state. I'm very appreciative of the fact that they took the time to listen and are focusing on trying to fix it up. And then there's also fandom mischaracterization- especially of the cogs. Forgive me for mentioning mischaracterization because normally I wouldn't really care (I've mischaracterized characters before..especially in my younger years. I think it's just a process of learning an having fun and I hate to limit anyone because of it). With that being said, there's a lot of baby-fying and coddling of the managers. Especially with those who have more 'sympathetic' stories (Misty, Chip, Winston specifically). Don't get me wrong, I like these characters and I can appreciate the story they're trying to tell, but I feel like so many people will hear their dialogue and then misplace their anger. People get mad at Bessie for trying to protect HER lighthouse or at the Elders for trying to keep YOTT safe (lets not forget Winston was there to brainwash toons). Yes, yes technically there would've been better ways to do it but consider this: The toons are scared. Their homes, stores, lives are being taken over by a big corporation that has more resources that they do. They don't have the privilege of waiting, seeing, and gathering. And then people forget that the company has such a huge role in both toons and cogs lives. If you're mad over the mistreatment of Misty or the fact that Winston is still in the dungeon, your anger should be directed at the company who doesn't care. I may be completely wrong in saying this, but I feel like the stories with almost all of the managers is a reflection of the company. The toons are only trying to protect themself and their environments and yet this seems to go forgotten when people start bashing them. And of course, I'd consider myself a toon guy so me saying all this and complaining may come off as "I HATE the cogs and everyone who posts only about them!" and for clarification that's not true. You all know how much I like that little brain thing. The cogs are interesting, their designs are fun, I don't blame people for liking them because I do too. I just wish that the thought process behind so many of these discussions wasn't so cog focused because I believe that this anger at the toons for, RIGHTFULLY, defending themselves helps push this mischaracterization of them as a whole. That they're mean, boring, unlikeable while the opposite is true. Yes there are some, what I'd consider, "filler" dialogue from the shopkeepers. This is just because of the gameplay. But there are some funny and cute moments with them if people would just listen and read.

Which also brings me into another point: people skip the dialogue. I've caught myself doing this before (on my first account. I have 4 accounts total, so I reread the dialogue on like 3 of them). But people will complain about lack of toon personalities while doing this. It's like reading through a comic book, only looking at the drawings, and then complaining because there "isn't a storyline". Luckily, there's been efforts to keep track of the dialogue on the wiki but I doubt a lot of people are going through and reading the entire script. It just feels very disingenuous to criticize the dialogue when you haven't even read it. Likewise, people don't seem to read the blogposts either. This is both from a dialogue aspect and from an update aspect (people continuously asking about hammerspace/mix-and-match under unrelated posts).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMETTS/REXES!!!!!!!!!!🧡💙💚🩵 Here yall go! *I hand yall an incredibly large box wrapped in orange and green wrapping paper with a large silver bow. Inside is a mega Jenga game and a tool kit for Em, a ninja knife set and cookbook for Night, a velociraptor amiguri, sweater for charmander, and deaging power for Rex, a miniature robot body for chip, a cat tree for Emcat, a sweater, crocheted coozie, and crochet cat accessories for Buddy, medicinal herbs and vials for cleric, mechanical parts and a welding kit for threes, a large crochet brick amiguri for Sparky, and a large crochet pterodactyl amiguri for snowball. Also a large box filled with Jambalaya for all to share! A note reads, “I hope yall like your gifts! Have a splendid birthday boys! -Avi”* (I’m sorry if I missed any of the boys)

The package appeared in the center of the clearing, just like any other. It flickered in and out, colours shifting and twisting, the wrapping paper glitching across its surface.

This was normal. Things tended to 'freak out' until they were touched.

The group shared a glance.

"I'm not doing it," Buddy huffed.

Both Em and Cleric stayed silent. Nightshade didn't even bother to make eye contact.

Threes rolled his eyes and stepped forwards slowly. He was careful of getting hit by any of the flickers, but... It didn't shift as he approached. The flickering usually changed at least slightly. He couldn't help but hesitate. But... It could be food, or supplies, or...

He reached out his hand. The colours warped around where his fingers hovered. He lowered his hand to let his fingertips brush over the paper.

His entire body convulsed as the glitches attacked his arm. He lurched backwards into the sand as the box seemed to lash out at the world around it. Cleric grabbed him under the arm, helping to pull him back and away from it.

"Are you alright?!"

"I-I'm fine." He used Cleric's arm to stand. "What's happening?"

"You think I know?"

Buddy backed up a little, turning to look over his shoulder. "Er, Void?"

Em shot him a confused glance, but now wasn't the time to question it. He pulled Threes a little further away.

"Is anyone in the tower? It's a bit close.."

"Not that I know of."

"Void?!" Buddy called. "Buddy?"

Threes blinked. "Is he calling a friend, or himself?"

All of them flinched as the door to the house flew open, slamming against the wall.

"Cleric!"

Snowball's eyes were wide. His chest heaved.

The cleric let go of Threes' arm. "Snowy? What's-"

"Spark-" He pointed into the house behind him. "He's not breathing."
