what did sigmunds reaction to kyles "friends" MEAN in his first appearance? exactly what it meant in his second. bear with me
when kyle makes up some accomplishments to present to sigmund, fb and cc exemplify by such accomplishments being their friendship. obviously, they didnt quite read the room. talk of friends in kyle and sigmunds rivalry would be considered irrelevant.. but why so?
at first, you would believe sigmund was fake congratulating kyle sarcastically because he thought fb and cc were embarassing to be friends with. on the other hand, look at how both sigmund and kyle at some point are friendless presenting. kyle, on his first day of school, had a rather asocial demeanor toward anyone. sigmund has no history of any emotional connection to begin with. yes, he has fans and his schoolmates admire him, but thats where the monetary part was speaking rather than HIM.
speaking of, kyle and sigmunds whole beef revolves around money and status. is it really all they genuinely cared about, or did sigmund himself point the relevance toward that on purpose? it makes sense to think of, because nobody would willingly compare their weaker points. and sigmund knew kyle would instantly shape into whatever mold he threw him, because sigmund knows kyle has an inferiority complex toward him. he takes advantage of kyles insecurity to make himself feel even bigger next to him, because he knows kyles confidence is weak enough. its especially important to him because he knew kyle being lonely wouldve brought him down even more
nother proof of that is, kyle in his point of "i know what youre really about" he points out sigmunds selfishness and tendancy to show him off. thats what sigmund intended it to be. he intended for kyle to think hes got him all figured out by calling him selfish, because that he can stomach. the moment kyle would touch on a deeper insecurity is the moment sigmund feels threatened
and guess what, thats what happened the moment it came to his knowledge that kyle had friends
sigmund needs to have the upperhand, so he IMMEDIATELY needs to change the topic to money and status, and so he does by inviting himself to kyles place. that would ultimately poke at the difference between their statuses once again
lets move on to hex games, thats where we get more clues. well its simple, the way sigmund interacts with fb and cc is oddly fixative. he wouldve focused on kyle himself had he not cared about him having friends. and i dont think he was just using them to poke fun at kyle, he wouldve went on about something status related. this is his direct jealousy toward kyles genuine looking friendship speaking out. he is charming and presentable toward the titular duo, almost as if hes trying to make an impression. almost as if hes trying to get them to trust him, or think hes awesome. a person who doesnt care about connection or already has enough of it doesnt do that
this is a commentary or kyle and sigmunds SICK dynamic. behold
dude sigmund is a VILE and CRAZY person for centering so much hate around kyle that he makes him such a big part of his game and dedicates so much of it to the negative portrayal of him. this is so fucking crazy like god kyles hatred and jealousy for this guy is by far JUSTIFIED. i dont even know how this whole thing works actually, like apparently sigmund was actually communicating with them directly the whole time instead of it being a pre generated hologram i mean how did he know they started playing does it notify him? and he so happened to be free in that exact moment? im not gon assume anything but that sounds sad to me. the more important question, why would sigmund even make a game where your prize is a puzzle of the very academy kyle was trying to apply back to, and word it in a way ambiguous enough that it can be interpreted as literally being admitted to the academy.
now buckle up
im more than sure he had kyle in mind when he was making that game, and i dont think its bold to assume he made it for him to play specifically. go back to his hologram actually being just him the whole time, he purposefully made fanboy and chumchum players and kyle the apprentice, which is specifically stated to not be a wizard character. if only kyle had played sigmund wouldve readjusted his guide persona to still find a way to dog on him. when kyle asks how he can do something, sigmund says to him only the real wizards can do that. he was calling kyle a non wizard. a vile fucking creature man
you know, as someone with a status like sigmunds, when youre rich and priveledged, its very degrading to the self to make a game centered around a guy you dont like, to tease him about how he cant readmit to milkweed. i dont know man it just brings out the fact not even that level of priveledge can distract you from your particular bone that youve been picking. honestly everytime they interacted sigmund was a piece of shit
and im stating this because why, i need to point out something i havent before
what caused this?
seriously, WHAT created this batshit crazy rivalry, where the higher rank just keeps dogging on this guy and this guy hates the higher rank?
its been speculated but never confirmed, they mightve been friends at some point. i think a transition from friends to rivals would best explain such a crazy, bloodthirsty rivalry. the closer they used to be, the more they would resent eachother. think about it, i wouldnt hate as much a person ive been enemies with since the start as a person i only started being enemies with after having been, like, fucking best friends or something. something tragic mustve happened between them at that point
and my question is, were their statuses the same before the on screen beef? was sigmund always significantly more successfull than kyle? theres a possibility where no can be a plausible answer. why would sigmund expect of kyle so much or believe in his claims that hes successfull, knowing he previously was never even close to what he was now describing? he couldve gone downhill since the expulsion.. orrrrrrr. maybe sigmund knew beforehand there was no chance of kyle ever being successful, so his sudden interest in his life wasnt genuine, but exploitative. he only played into what kyle was saying to expose and humble him later on, knowing how much he hates kyles guts.
is kyle a victim? in the current state in which things are sitting absolutely. would kyle have been a victim had sigmund not been as successfull as he is, and instead was on kyles level and below? more importantly, would kyle have treated sigmund the same as he treats kyle if he was as successful as sigmund? yes is not a bold answer.
kyle, although he hides it a little better, is also stuck up, selfish, and wants things all for himself. not hides, his status just doesnt permit him. whether or not this attitude is resulted from his expulsion (or just any justifiable reason) is a separate debate. what im certain of is he would not make a whole game all about dogging on sigmund. he has his own ways, own style, that differs from sigmunds. i cant pinpoint an exact way, i just want to say kyle wouldve likely made sigmund miserable if he was the succesfull one. that is why sigmund may seek to make him miserable. he knows kyle is just as bad as him, and he doesnt pity him because he wouldve done the same
but wow, were getting somewhere. kyle is as bad as sigmund. kyle is like sigmund. now hear me out, grab them ears and pin them to the screen..
kyle reminds sigmund of himself, and that is why his problem with kyle is so profound. more than just that, kyle is a worse version of sigmund. his status is ass, he doesnt wear fancy things, hes not as well mannered, hes not nearly as rich. all the external things differ, while sigmund knows deep down hes no better than kyle on the personality level. look at kyle and look at sigmund, one is disliked and one is successful. they behave similarly. sigmund feels threatened by the idea of being like kyle, and to disprove his own speculations, he covers his fear up by dogging on kyle day and night to prove to the world hes just that pathetically lower on the scale than him. chat im cooking im cooking im cooking
(and lets clear the status stuff up. i conclusioned that since the beggining theyve been at the statuses they currently are now. and their status difference is what most highlights most of their beef)
and you know, them being friends and sigmund getting to know kyle as they got closer is what brought him to the conclusion that theyre awfully similar, which triggered him. now kyle mightve not realised that, as sigmund had always been naturally more clever. when kyle describes why he dislikes sigmund, he says its because hes a show-off who always brags about his fortune and uses his priveledge to dog on him. sigmund on the other hand, never explains why he hates kyle. the closest we would ever realistically get is him maybe stating something about drama having happened, because why would sigmund reveal his weakness like that? hes far too smart. he gets to know why kyle doesnt like him, but he remains mostly mysterious. kyle is emotional and that gives sigmund an advantage, he finds out everything through whatever slips. then he uses that against him, as a taunt, just like how he did with the videogame he made
god theyre so dark and toxic or maybe my interpretation is just twisted. i still think they got crazy undertones for a kids show.
also, notice how in both episodes where they meet, sigmund says something crazy at the end of each? just like how he said that awfully dark thing at the end of the episode titled his name, like how he calls him kyle the constipator because he pushes and nothing comes out, he also comes out of the hologram at the end of hex games to tell him a bunch of mean stuff again?? he likely does this as a last "in your face" so that it sticks with him. maybe he especially saves the worst insults for last to make sure kyle remembers it. its 4 AM dude what the hell
and catch how the way sigmund acts is a direct trigger to kyles emotions many of the times? coming back to how he knows how kyle functions. maybe its more than just stuck-up personality. he carefully constructed that attitude to dog on kyle the hardest. would not surprise me in the slighest at this point this person is fucked up
NOT TO MENTION, i also believe sigmund is actually older than kyle.
it had been specifically mentioned in the past that he is known as the worlds most legendary "tween" wizard.
"tween" so therefore teen because no other word wouldve worked in its place. especially since its the same structure as what kyle would call himself on multiple ocasions. age range, then some im powerfull bullshit. kyle calls himself along the lines of "the (future) most powerfull PRE-teen wizard". im not gonna gather more photos. thats like a one time use. anyway not only he specifically confirms he is a PRE teen, it also wouldve been the most realistic age range for him considering the fact hes classmates with confirmed (by biblography) 10-11 year olds which are fanboy and chumchum themselves
so this TEENAGER, 13 and onwards, has incredible beef with someone whos maximum 12. they were in different grades in milkweed they were most likely not classmates. nothing dramatic, just odd, because now it makes sigmunds motivations extremely odd and targeted. it would be easier to resent a clasmate that you see everyday than someone in from a lower grade. what the HELL couldve happened between these people from 2 different grades that resulted in this insane outcome? pretend my speculation was right, they wouldve become friends by a chance thats much more odd. and the conflict. instead of picking on a classmate you dog on some young fella. this person is DERANGED and TWISTED. wizards in general need therapy
thought i was done?
i wonder how kyle managed to accidently turn his proffesor into raspberry flan. i mean yes, his name is flan and you suppose kyle called his name and accidently turned him into flan. but how? to make a spell, it was specified you need to point your wand or use it in some way. and why would kyle just randomly call his proffesors name and point his wand at him? maybe he was trying to rise his hand, but he was holding his wand? well consider that proffesor flan has some serious issues with kyle. he shows no mercy for his desperate attempts to get back at milkweed and doesnt hold back when correcting his readmittance exams, he is unecessarily strict with his work, therefore hes never let in. something weird must be going on inbetween. i like to picture sigmund was involved in this. without an ounce of support, i create this scenario: kyle and sigmund are fighting in the halls, and kyle tries calling for his proffesor who happened to be standing nearby. sigmund attempts to snatch kyles wand but fails and could only do as much as force his hand in the direction of flan. while kyle calls for his professor, his wand is pointed at him. the coincidence of flans name being an existing desert is to kyles disadvantage, for he is later on turned into actual flan. sigmund would be delighted by that and would probably use this accident to his advantage. since sigmund was a witness, he is asked to describe what happened. he claims kyle had done it on purpose just to get him in trouble, and it turns out sigmund got kyle expelled. whether kyle knew or not about the sabotage is debatable. my explanation doesnt have to be true but it IS realistic, especially looking at flans resentment on kyle, or refusal to hear him out. he was convinced it was done out of malice, when kyle had been innocent all along. im normal btw
