I don't know if the parody music makes their points more convincing or nah but it is very entertaining for sure.

I know The Founders Cut, generally, is the edited scrubbed over version of genloss from Showfall in-universe (as well as a not-8-hour-long-three-stream-binge-night whenever we want to watch it again) but something that struck me as odd and I haven’t seen anyone mention yet, is this warning
It shows up right at the junction where the third act starts, where it appears the Hero is breaking free of Showfall thanks to Hetch. But here’s the thing, while a LOT less than the previous acts the audience still played a significant role in this act, even when really only given two audience interaction choices. Which makes me wonder, how real is this warning, and who is it for? Obviously the audience involved knows what happens past this point, but the audience is also implied to be an integral part of the Social Experiments, which is part of why things start to tweak out when the Founder removes them in the Founder Cut as the Generation Loss generation loses.
My first thought, was that obviously this is another bait and switch, a way to draw the audiences attention, seeing something that’s secret, something that’s not “meant for them”, which is a tactic I could see Showfall using in universe to keep people’s attention and add an air of mystery to their shows.
But
Showfall is doing all their experiments and these shows with a LOT of help from their censors to show it off, displaying a fun silly show that is definitely not uber fucked up and that is 100% just slime don’t worry about it, it’s kid friendly if it’s green! And I don’t think they’d want to bet all their cards on this one experiment doing well enough to their audience to not question the sudden shift in tone that follows this warning. Which makes me wonder.
They did their test, they did their experiment, and the evidence of this last act? I think it was a one time run, they don’t want anyone seeing this, it isn’t for the audience. Act three is specifically to both test and play with their Hero, Hetch’s new lines add a level to this, never once does he call the Hero by their name, just refers to Ranboo as their Role, and he’s not exactly. Nice? About literally any of Ranboos concerns, which wouldn’t really seem conductive to making an audience trust him, especially with his monologue at the end. Ranboo has escaped before, possibly right before act 1 started, they tightened the security on his mask to be unremovably part of them, Hetch doesn’t like the Hero but they’re a fan favorite so he can’t just get rid of them.
Act three is the cumulation of Ranboo being punished for things they don’t remember, for daring to break free from Showfalls control, this is Hetch taking the Hero and essentially majorly fucking and manipulating them to take his frustration out on a fan favorite they can’t otherwise get rid of or give a smaller role like Slimecicle. which is exemplified by the fact that we now know Charlie most likely was never able to actually able to fully snap out of the control, that even in act three in panic and confusion there was at least still a part of him being influenced by Showfall.
So the first two acts are the usual show, they have their posters, they have Squiggles to introduce them, they have goofs and silliness and only a couple slip ups that’re quickly dealt with, the usual rose tinted curtains. Act three?

Who are the POVs going to be for BB Dawn of the Clans? Is it still going to be Gray Wing, Thunder Storm and Clear Sky or are there changes? Also about Gray Wing, after clarifying that he is a gib/the Clans' third gender you were initially referring to Gray Wing with "they" but lately you've gone back to using "he", is this intentional or just getting mixed up by his gender in the books like how you've called Heartstar "he" by accident before?
The POVs for BB!DOTC are probably going to remain the same! I haven't fully decided though. If I end up actually making a basic structure for Parkmew and Townmew, I may want to include some Bumble chapters so you can be in her head as she's live-translating. I think that would be SUPER fun to see and write.
Especially if I cheated a bit and just made one language very similar to English, and the other very similar to Spanish. Enough to just cat-ify some sayings and talk about how she tries to translate the nuance in certain lines. Give her like, 3 or 4 chapters in the arc for political meetings.
(I don't speak Spanish but Trout does and I can bother him VICIOUSLY for cool phrases. Also it would be amazing to watch her desperately trying to translate the furious insults at the First Battle, turning from simple translator into mediator, only for it to spiral out of control and escalate into violence)
Anyway, on the pronouns
I often mess up on the characters whose gender was swapped from canon over to the rewrite, whoops. I correct it as soon as I notice it, but I try not to spend a lot of time double checking and proofreading answered asks and such because I will get sucked down into self-corrections
(You will also notice I tend to mess up numbers/simple arithmetic, cardinal directions, and lefts and rights. Those are part of the fact I have Dyscalculia. The pronouns are because I'm Stupid)
For Heartstar I did initially conceive of her as a he/him lesbian, but then decided to just commit to full she/her because she is transfem and I figured that would make it clearer. In the Tawny post I goofed and called her the wrong pronouns because for a brief moment I was thinking of canon Tigerheartstar, but corrected it when it was pointed out.
In-universe she is a transmolly, "yaow" gender.
Gray Wing is a weirder case though. He is 100% a Gib, the Clan Culture 3rd gender, close to nonbinary for us. They/them or xe/xim would be closest for us.
But I see them so much as a "DAD" in my head, I imagine an uncle Iroh type when I rotate them. Fathergender. So I'm going with He/xe/they.
Make no mistake though, his gender is Gib.

you know my thing with kaeya being a genshin character isn’t even so much abt how bad of a game genshin is or isnt (it’s honestly only partly that bc mechanics/gameplay wise it’s honestly fine and genuinely it’s fun to play it most of the time) it’s more that by nature of the kind of game it is he can never be the primary focus of the story for extended periods of time bc they need to constantly be introducing new characters and areas and plot lines which sucks so bad bc he IS important to the story despite being a starter character and there IS a lot of mystery and intrigue and there’s just sooo much interesting stuff to chew on wrt his character but i unfortunately have to be constantly waiting for his Exciting single scene where he talks for maybe five minutes before disappearing for the next six months completely and so it’s really frustrating that i have to just spend the entire time wishing he was back already LMAO

Silly Game Time: Mothman and the Jersey Devil are about to fight (because JD called Bigfoot a bitch, and--in case you weren't aware--Bigfoot is MM's boyfriend ... they've actually gotten pretty serious, it's kinda sweet). AND YOU'VE GOT $5 TO BET ON WHO'LL WIN! SO PLACE YOUR WAGER!
Ooo, this is a tough one! MM has the motivation to start and end the fight as well as humanoid arms and legs. JD however has horns and the body (and strength) of a horse. That doesn't mean that the bf BF won't make a tool for MM to use against JD to.
They both have equalish skills in flight (MM I believe would have a slight advantage on the count of having smaller and more streamlined bodymass) however JD would definitely have the advantage on the ground. JD would theoretically be a chunkier flier while MM is said to be fast and graceful, however if we're going to compare them to bats (JD) and owls (MM) then MM would essentially be a glass cannon. One kick, ramming, or bite from JD to MM's wings and MM would have to land as bird bones, even at MM's size, wouldn't be strong enough to survive a kick from a horse.
However, that's where the speed and energy usage comes into play. MM, being a creature similar to birds, would naturally have the metabolism that would allow from prolonged flight times at varying altitudes and speeds. JD (ignoring the whole demon magic thing) would have that disadvantage of having to use a lot of energy for sustained aerial combat with an opponent more faster and agile.
JD would have the best bet of getting in one good hit, but if MM also has a similar endocrine system then they would be able to produce adrenaline. Humans can lift tones of weight under the right circumstances (highly not suggested if you like your muscles attached to your bones but if you're in a situation like that then lift that car above your head like you're Travis Scott at a concert) but MM would have an even more exaggerated reaction to adrenaline.
With a creature built for flight I wouldn't doubt that MM is stronger than a human on principle alone. Also, I think I'm getting a bit to much into this and I have bias from writing Mothman so I'll go with Mothman winning 😁
