Random opinion, observations and interpretations of tco and tdl
The first random thing I like is how tdl immediately starts with violence. Just kicking the block without observing or trying to study it while tco observes the surrounding first.
After a little session of destruction, tdl shows a happy body language while for tco is just dusting himself off.
In comparisons to tdl who kicked away the block, tco is immediately trying to learn the new things.
It's so cute how tco is just showing his little creation to his only friend. Tdl definitely shows a bit of curiosity or at least is ready to slow down a second for tco before going back to violence.
Tco seems protective of his creation, perhaps he is proud/has an attachment to it. Meanwhile tdl seems disappointed- like he is groaning with his head thrown back- that tco doesn't let him destroy it.
However tco gives in and lets his friend destroy his creation. Because it makes tdl happy. It's like a kid who wants to knock over the block tower another kid built.
The was tdl is laughing here. He found his perfect playground.
Just violence, violence and more violence. The way tdl is touching the lava. It's interesting. Maybe because it's just as destructive as he is?
Same with tco. He built a house. A simple cute and cozy house. Does he perchance crave a simple and calm life?
Tco is quick to act with violence/his power when there is perceptible threat. Considering that the Animator used to torment him for three years, maybe he is very sensitive to unexpected things.
The obvious contrast in how tdl vs tco interact with minecraft. Tco is just enjoying his freedom. Even peaceful and relaxed.
Tdl bringing the swords of the zombie pigman. Like trophies of his victory. Or maybe like a cat trying to show affection by bringing dead birds. Or perhaps it was a competition to tdl. He has destroyed so much while tco didn't have any proof.
And tdl is done. He lost interest already. While he seems to be excited/happy by all the destruction he did, that's all what tdl cared about.
Tco on the other hand does need a moment to say goodbye to Minecraft. Even takes a block with him as a keepsake. Tco has the capability of growing attached to thing compared to tdl.
Personal opinion/interpretation:
This entire short just shows how tco is ready to learn, explore new things and capable to grow attached to things. He can form bonds with things and people. On the contrary tdl has no attachment to anything and one- the only thing that he cares about is satisfying his destructive urges- even disregarding his only friend/partners feelings and insisting on destroying something tco was proud and happy about. Tdl definitely likes tco and wants him around but despite that actually barely has an emotional attachment to him. Tco was his partner in crime, to have fun with, someone to show his destruction to. But not his own person with interests and thoughts. The irony being that tdl was the one made FOR tco, not the other way around.
My general opinion/idea is that due to how tco was treated by alan for the 3 years as an ad blocker- his feelings neglected/dismissed- even though he was free now, he is very complacent with tdl, he still expects his feelings and opinions to be ignored. Which is why he enables tdl so much. Maybe because it was "his choice" to reach out to tdl/not finish him, he believes that he was to deal with it because it's freedom that lead him here. He doesn't know about boundaries and how to set them, this may be why he just kidnapped tsc to fight the mercenaries with him.
In short: Oh the toxic doomed queer platonic yaouri that you are chodark.

This is such a thoughtful take??? I hadn’t even picked up on half of those details, especially the contrast between how TCO and TDL interact with Minecraft/their surroundings. The “cat bringing dead birds” line for TDL is such a wild but perfect image 😭
Chodark is like the friend-shaped napalm of character dynamics 💥 I love how you broke it all down, like TDL being that kid who just wants to break stuff while TCO builds little worlds and lets him anyway?? Peak tragic gay mess energy…

I was born in 1993 (Stan and Xeno are only 2-3 months older than I am) and I’m just imagining. Like the Disney songs and movies (lion king was MY movie- I would watch it on repeat like 15 times a day) or the Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon shows. You cannot convince me that Dexters lab or Jimmy Neutron were not Xeno’s FAVORITE shows. And Stan gives me the teenage mutant ninja turtles, or Teen titans vibes. I bet they would also set the DVR to record every episode of Avatar: the last Airbender and rush home after school to Xeno’s house to watch the new episode as soon as it came out.
Just, I feel a lot of millennial feels about these two (also Ukyo because he is only like a week older than my best friend like, he’s basically the same age as Stan and Xeno)

I made a post a while back about a no-petrification world where Senku and Yuzuriha are both famous and known for their respective successes while Taiju is a happy stay-at-home dad but I just realized there’s so much comedic potential in the trio’s friendship not being widely known by the general public.
Professor Ishigami is always wearing the nicest suits from the Haute Couture Yuzuriha brand and everyone thinks it’s just because he has expensive tastes but then someone spots him chatting with the millionaire CEO herself in the university parking lot and she HUGS HIM GOODBYE and they’re like ???!?!?
Yuzuriha’s employees think she’s the sweetest person ever and she has tons of pictures of her husband and kids on her desk like any family oriented person but then her new assistant takes a peek and realizes that there’s a Nobel prize winning astrophysicist just. Hanging out in the photos also.
Taiju is a beloved member of his kids’ school PTA and some random mean mom at the bake sale tries to make a comment about how it isn’t becoming for a man to take care of the house and there’s no way they can pull off what they promised, only for the foremost leading scientist in JAXA and the eleventh richest woman in the region to stroll in like they own the place with the kids between them carefully carrying the most beautiful goddamn cupcake tower mankind has ever known.
