No One:

So i've been thinking a lot about Sir Frank. He's this guy in the lost village area.

My first few playthroughs, I never really thought much of him? I mean, he was there, allegedly due to being a sinner or outcast, and unlike most other characters he didn't seem to mind ENA's presence. But then on one occasion when I went to do the "raze the roofs" achievement(making every hut vanish except for the correct one), I went to talk to him and found that his dialogue had changed. (contd)

Now, there are a few details i want to point out about this- first, his delivery of these lines is incredibly sincere, I'd go as far as to say even fond. He is literally the only character- aside from maybe Froggy- who ever speaks to ENA this way. Second, he "pronounces" ENA's name correctly. As in, spelling it with the backwards E. Only two other characters do this(to my knowledge), the suspicious man and Theodora. The suspicious man does it, obviously, because he has researched ENA and knows a lot about her. Theodora does it because she is a Genie, and thus probably all-knowing. Frank, however, pronounces it correctly out of respect. He addresses ENA like his equal, and I'm pretty sure he's the only character that does this. Every other character that isn't directly hostile or dismissive towards ENA is at the very least a little backhanded. Even Nonkey Jong of all people says some shit like "Nonkey Jong likes having company, even from ENA" which implies that ENA is like. The bare minimum lmao. Froggy might be an exception to this? But there's a degree of "you're my cool coworker and all but you're also weird and i don't understand you completely" to his interactions. A curious thing I also noticed about Frank's cutscenes is that he's one of the only fully voiced characters that ENA doesn't vocally respond to. I have a couple theories as to why this is- provided it's intentional. which it might not be. but I'm still thinking about it lol When interacting with Theodora after reaching the bathroom, there is an option when she asks for ENA's aspirations to "aspire for Frank's forgiveness". This could be taken one of two ways- either ENA has done something to Frank that she wishes to be forgiven for, or Frank has done something bad that ENA wants to forgive on his behalf. Either way, whatever it is, Theodora doesn't entertain it ENA's silence during Frank's dialogue could simply be that she's shell-shocked at not being treated weirdly. Or it could be that she feels guilty. I've seen a theory floating around that she may have been the one that blinded him?? I wonder if they knew each other before meeting in the lost village? Man idk. I just think it's interesting that he is so friendly. It caught me totally off guard ngl, discovering this about him elevated him to an S tier character for me lmfao

As Elon Musk cements his place in history as a fascist tech overlord and the rest of the world looks at us in horror, I really do want to reiterate what I feel will be lost to the history books

Nearly everyone in america has thought and continues to think that Elon is very cringe.

Also, "Outworld Red" (idk if that's the actual name, but it's the name of the ost) is a place i really love in ena dream bbq, everything screams "dream-like" to me.

(Well, even more than the rest of the game i mean .)

It's full of familiarity but oddness all the same. It's an infinite network of streets that are noticeably empty. Or at least, there is no one. The doors are closed, and there is nothing on the stalls. The ambiance is oppressive yet calm at the same time. You can run for as long as you want, you will get nowhere.

If you look up, you won't only see that giant dude swimming in the sky, plane looking shapes will appear at some point

They are recognizable as "plane" looking but they are also "wrong", "odd", as if they were the vague memories of what a plane is supposed to look like

I also found some little details, like the electric wires being "cut" at some points

if like me you like to walk around before "going to bed", you will notice strange shape appearing on the street

If you squint, you can try to recognize some familiar things, like eyes, coral, plants, pieces of machineries, playground.... But like the plane, they are twisted, as if they were memories of things

This whole "town" is like what you feel when you remember what you were dreaming about and try to piece things togheter to "fill" the holes of what was lost to dream-land and it's absurdity, and yet remember how strange it was

I tend to "loose time" to walk around there before taking the bed door. I love the music too (WITH sounds effects, sadly they are absent in YT uploads)

Not that i ever got the "blink and you miss it achievment" even if i keep stalling but hey

WHO'S AFRAID OF THE BOSS

I didn't notice this til my billionth playthrough, but both the text that appears when you interact with this Amoeba Guy, and the ellipses that follow any interaction with any of the NPC's in this room is in Meanie's dialogue text color. Girl is freaked out of her flipping marble

All this stuff has been on my mind for a bit so–

I wonder how come Worker Ena doesn't express herself the same way Web Ena does? Because Web Ena could show any emotions from any sides. Both examples from Temptation Stairway, we can hear both the happy side being sad when she says "pay your debts? That sounds awful..." and the sad side being happy when she says "would you kindly reveal the wish you made to me?" But Worker Ena's emotions are limited to her sides. Meanie is always mean or freaking out, and Salesperson is always charming and joyful/theatrical/silly(? dunno how to describe it properly). They don't show any other emotions whatsoever. And I do wonder if this is because we've only seen the first chapter and this will indeed happen later, or because Worker Ena just doesn't do that? We also haven't seen any 'extreme' ends of Worker Ena. We've only seen her sides and her grey hangover state (which btw I also think that it's nice how Web Ena becomes fully polygonal but Worker Ena becomes fully smooth), but never the extreme ends of her sides like Web Ena had, those white faces with the color of the eyes corresponding to the side's color. And also whatever the hell those demon versions of Web Ena were (but those could be exclusive to Web Ena only).

It would be cool to see a third Ena to really set in stone what's exclusive to each one of them and what are the attributes of their species (since I do believe that Ena is a species in some capacity. A species that is treated like a parasite most of the time). But right now we can probabaly safely assume that most often an Ena's right side would be the domineering one, and that said right side is the smooth one, with the other being the polygonal one.

Ohhh yeah to be fair we did see that weird ass Worker Ena, the green one with blue and purple streaks? But that one seems more like the demon versions of Web Ena than her extreme ends. That's not her dying or anything because we've seen that Enas don't really die.

I also saw something about Coral Glasses not being from the world of dbbq but instead from a different game, and when you interact with those corals blocking a path into the building Ena specifically says that they're out of this world or some similar phrasing, which is all the more confirmation that there's going to be more interactions with Coral Glasses later down the line. Maybe she'll take up Froggy's role when we go to the Horse door in the way that she's kinda going to be guiding us through it or hell even go with us.

Anyway I love both Enas and I think that whatever they did should be forgiven immediately. Let my girls go.

I also do find it interesting when people point out that everyone in dbqq treats Ena badly, but the thing is, I think either all Enas are treated this way or the environment in general is very hostile. Because we only really see Enas interacting with others but not said others interacting with each other. Really the only instance I can think of is Coral Glasses interacting with Taski Maiden and Froggy (kind of) interacting with Mr. Dratula. But it could be argued that both Dratula and Taski Maiden are just annoying as hell, hence why the other two treat them kinda mean. I don't remember any two other non-Ena creatures interacting with each other in the series. I suppose there's also the Unforgiven Frank and Theodora refusing to forgive him but we don't really know why Frank is Unforgiven. I think that lady in the exclusive gift shop is best demonstrative of both those ideas: she's in general kind of hostile but she's also specifically hostile to Ena. And this seems to be the case for nearly everybody. Hell even Hoarder Alex and that Watcher kid are also good examples. And also Hoarder Alex seemed kinda annoyed by the witch lady even if she didn't notice it. There's also an npc talking ill about the Shaman, so yeah, in general the world of Ena is a hostile environment, and it also seems like it's especially hostile to Enas.

Or maybe I'm reading something in nothing but yk what? Whatever, I wanna have fun. So really do whatever you will with this of information.

I can't believe he died just because he hit the griddy too hard

Make worm funnier by killing off just one character in the whole of the book (everyone else lives)

Mr. Gladly. He dies in the first chapter when Taylor shoves him down some stairs, and she gets arrested for murder. But, if I'm interpreting your ask correctly, no one else dies ever, so they have to release Taylor once they realize that she actually killed the avatar of Death, saving literally everyone
