I dont rly understand how he functions with night vision on. like I'm assuming its only activated when dark (??) but in dark castle it seemed maybe a bit foggy at best... isn't it hard to see 😭
sorry if this is incoherent I just had some joke to make about him not being able to distinguish colors with it on but couldnt think of a good excuse to make it fit 😬 clearly im not a writer LMAO
lore yapping below 👀👀👀 you should read i👀t👀👀👀🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯(LONG ALERT)
OK SAY HELLO TO PAWNIE. theyre so Strange i love them LORE DUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they were originally created to just be a silly oc design because i never make object ocs anymore and i'd never made one for a specific show, but i gave her more of a story than i intended so here's a little summary
she's from the "real world" and is a steve cobs fangirl to a worrying extent. like. kpop stan level LOL (affectionate), she's totally fascinated by him
she sought out a job at meeple for that exact reason, and wormed her way up to a high enough position that she would Maybe see cobs like once a week if she was lucky---and she ended up being on mephone4's ship when melife was deactivated in the s2 finale (even though she was probably not supposed to LIKE GIRL GO HOME YOUR SHIFT ENDED AN HOUR AGO)
they didn't find their way to the society until like a week-ish after cobs died, and was TOTALLY distraught about it, and was even more distraught by the idea that Nobody Else Fucking Liked That Guy Like?????? pawnie was really heavily disliked by a lot of people on the island for a while because they WOULD NOT stop defending cobs. like babe he literally tried to kill all of us we do not care that he gave you dental insurance. taco hates her and they will NOT make up
ANYWAY eventually they realized exactly zero people liked cobs and they slowly adjust to life in the society. theyre kind of weird about it like "ok lets agree to disagree!" when confronted with the many reasons why cobs sucks but it's Okay i Guess because they Live Here Now So We Have To Deal With It.
and at least they're getting BETTER and TRYING. they join the safety squad too... they're a nice person if you ignore the whole cobs thing. and also The Other Thing
The Other Thing (genuinely unrelated to cobs/poppy i just think its an interesting side effect of their personality) is that pawnie is like. really really mean to robots
they've worked at meeple and watched all of cobs' stupid tech expos since they were like 15, and have formed a really unempathetic attitude towards his inventions & robots in general, which is where a LOT of the conflict between pawnie and the other islanders arises
they have literally zero sympathy for mepad's death ("cant u just buy another one LOL??" girl shut UP), they dgaf about the mephones, they're just MEAN to metag AND bot oh my GOD. like she will kick those robots like rocks girl wtf is wrong with youuuugghhhh
anyway this is quietly a problem for a while, but MOSTLY pawnie has adjusted pretty well to life on the island as long as you dont bring up those 2 things. great everythings going great right
ANYWAY anyway, THEN poppy shows up and pawnie gets like 50x worse about cobs
even though i guess she's technically the main character of her own story, she's very antagonistic for a while---she thinks poppy is like the second coming of cobs, and while the rest of the island is trying to make sure that poppy ISN'T like cobs, pawnie is kind of trying to make sure that poppy IS???
i say that their relationship with poppy is much more platonically obsessive than romantic for a long while, because for a while, pawnie only sees poppy as an extension of her idol---she shoves herself into poppy's life (and shoves metag & bot aside while doing so, which is becoming a bigger and bigger problem. she literally stole her bandana from bot's head kjsdhksjhg like ACTUALLY STOPPP)
the whole point of their dynamic is pawnie's character growth: poppy teaches her to be more empathetic and open to personal reflection. slowly (VERY SLOWLY BC PAWNIES LOWKEY ANNOYING), pawnie learns to listen & understand why the islanders hate/fear cobs so much, treat bot & metag with respect, and view poppy as their own person
i wouldn't say either of them truly 'love' each other until pawnie's character growth nears its end, and she can actually see poppy as their own person who is completely separate & different from cobs, and still worthy of a deeper, genuine kind of love. personal growth woo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyway its a sweet story in the end but for 90% of it pawnie is genuinely an Issue for Everybody on this Goddamn Island its so funny i love her ajshdfgdsfkjgh
bonus for reading all this way: she's inspired by the song Affection Addiction by aku p & vocalokat!
