Thought About My Fake Little People For A Bit Too Long Now I Have Illnesses Of The Brain

i was tired and forgot that the reason why i posted this was to say luz would've gotten waffles as her palisman if flapjack had survived. i am completely making this up and have no evidence but if flapjack was still alive, he would've stayed with hunter - protecting caleb like evelyn would've wanted. luz would've gotten a bird to reconfirm her status as a clawthorne and because of the symbolic meaning of blue jays - confidence, strength, protection, faithfulness etc relating to her as a character. instead of being heavy handed with stringbean's ability to shapeshift in tandem with luz's indecision we would focus on her need for adaptability and freedom, something often associated with birds because of their ability to fly. in this essay i will

thinking about how palismen can act on their own free will and if their owner is unable to wield them, palismen can make the decision to protect their owner’s loved ones from danger (like with eda, owlbert and luz)

thinking bout evelyn being flapjack’s original owner. flapjack being drawn to luz initially because she reminded him of her. flapjack ultimately rejecting luz as his next owner bc he knows evelyn wanted to protect caleb from harm and that’s where he’s most needed. flapjack only warming up to hunter when he realizes this is caleb and this is who his owner would’ve wanted to protect the most, so he does it for her. belos saying goodbye to evelyn when killing flapjack because he’s the last piece of evidence of her. flapjack being willing to sacrifice himself for his owner’s true love

uhh yeah we gave your boyfriend a bass guitar and he's a slut now . yeah sorry he's stuck like that

theres always that moment during the course of enjoying a character where it switches from ”this is my favorite character” to ”i enjoy this character in a mentally ill way”

anyway for the record, yes, so-and-so did use girl power when she committed a bunch of murders. it's called girl power not girl ethics or girl qualms or girl wisdom or whatnot.

ok ok "character is forced to choose between two of their loved ones and is conflicted," yes, but consider "character is forced to chose between two of their loved ones and immediately knows the choice and feels guilty about it because they KNOW they should've felt conflicted but the choice is obvious and they would choose it over and over"
