Don't interact with me if you support bad things like pedophilia or being transphobic. As well as people who harrass others or are genuinely just weird.
That's about it
What is with me and latching onto characters like this:
some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
"b-but... Upshift is about cars!! with a multiverse, youre gonna do a Fast & Furious thing where everything is gonna stray away from cars and about saving the world!!" blah blah blah I DONT GIVE A FLYING FUCK!!!!! MULTIVERSES ARE AS COOL AS CARS SO FUCK YOU!!!! AND IM GONNA MAKE MY OWN CAR FICTION AND ITS GONNA BE AWESOME!!
also i made a previous lore rambling about just the multiverse but who cares since that thing is semioutdated and only covers Universes
Time
all of reality itself follows a single present; not one has invented time travel. each universe may have a year (like for example, 2026 in ours), but they only measure the age of said universe, or at least its Primary Intelligent Life-Inhabited Planet (PILIP). so to establish an "omniversal" way to measure time, CROSS, the Cross-Reality Order of Sentinels and Scientists, and they oversee the safety of every universe they've ever found, aka the people who find the answers to the questions that existence itself asks, established a year system, BR (Before Revelation) and AR (After Revelation), to clear up confusion between events that happened across universes, by using the day that the multiverse was discovered as reference. for example, The Day That Changed Their History took place on the year 2037 in Jertindliuss-Phobia and 2008 in the universe now retroactively designated Jertindliuss-Deafwind, because multiversal travel was used in order for brothers Torque and Daniel de Mobilauto (from Phobia) to steal the Mazda Furai (from Deafwind) and get it back to their home in Phobia; despite it being 2037 and 2008 on Phobia and Deafwind respectively, it all happenend on 55 AR, 55 years after it was found out there were more universes than one
Universe
anyways uhh. the cosmology of Upshift divides space into four segments. Universe, Multiverse, Polymultiverse, and Omniverse
Universe refers to a single part of reality that operates under its own history, its own rules, consistencies with its own rules, etc. they're also named based on their defining traits or histories and stuff. no idea how to explain it further. for example, we have Jertindliuss-Phobia, named after its distinct car-based definition and the Phobia Crisis that almost ended its Earth
Multiverse/Universe Family
then you got Multiverse, or more formally, Universe Family, which categorizes single universes according to constants, similarities, and whatnot. for example, the extensive Jertindliuss family of universes, named after the late car-enthusiastic cosmologist Karloff Jertindliuss who was one of several to find out there are other universes beyond one, are characterized by the abnormally emphasized connection to automobiles to the most intelligent species of a universe's PILIP; for example, in Jertindliuss-Phobia, cars are pretty much the only interesting industrial product in the entire universe, due to cars there being heavily cheapened due to the space object mining prominent during the Space Rush that lowered the rarity of various industrial components used in the construction of cars; essentially, a Jertindliuss reality is characterized by the mention of car in their overall description/summary being the most noticeable part, because dang, if the people on that universe like cars so much, then you REALLY gotta categorize them as a Jertindliuss universe
Polymultiverse
a Polymultiverse refers to every universe that operate under a single amount of dimensions; as of 56 AR, only universes between 1 through 4 dimensions have been discovered. examples include the 2DPM (2-Dimensional Polymultiverse), which include all discovered universes that operate under only length and height. and then the 4DPM (im sure its long form can be guessed) operates with length, width, height, and a fourth dimension that i dont know how to describe because ive never written it yet
i honestly don't really understand why "some people prefer watching gameplay online rather than playing games themselves" is treated as such a taboo when being a spectator is considered a pretty mundane way to engage with most sports, game shows, reality tv or even just like. chess.
I like to think that once he was given the opportunity to be the Human-Eridian teacher, he took to naming all the kids like he did with Rocky, obv with pop culture and nerdy references
i thought the 'no, i'm not human' trend fit that scene of jim coming home sooooo i drew it
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
lolol i only took 3 progress pics
played around with the words using canva,
the font is 'fira code' if anyone was interested in tryna do the trend the same way (not accurate to ninah text but idk i thought it looked cool) (^///^)
we need to invent a way to explain how deep running and pervasive and subliminal racism and antiblackness is without immediately sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist
female characters are always lighter than male characters. strong characters are almost always dark. aggressive characters are almost always dark. peaceful and intelligent characters are almost always light. even amongst darker characters the lightest one is usually either the leader or the girls. dark is evil and light is good.
briefly pursuing a career in animation radicalized me on this. So many stories from the industry about how you have to start with your character design as dark as possible, because INEVITABLY you'll get "notes" from higher-ups asking you to make them lighter.
In a class about making a pitch bible my teacher once role-played as a shitty executive with a classmate, pressing them in intentionally abrasive ways about why they made their characters diverse. He emphasized that we had to learn to defend these things, because the racism in the industry is extremely deliberate.
post your meta about how danny becoming dan makes sense please!!!!! 🙏🏾
aight bet.
this is going to be a bit ramble-y and I will be going into more depth on the sociological aspects than I would otherwise because, though I do not write for the white gaze, I am painfully aware that I am in the presence of White Gays™ who will misinterpret or attempt to deflect criticism of their favorite white boy if i hold up an unflattering mirror to a character they project on to. So its just easier to head off some of the pseudo-intellectual arguments before they start. I am not going to debate yall about this. If any of yall take issue with me speaking frankly about white people. Cope. <3
now on to the meta:
Why Danny becoming Dan makes sense, actually.
To better explain i think it requires a peek into how I see Dan as a character. And how why he's like that is a completely unsurprising result of Danny + Grief.
So Dan is all Big and Bad and wants the Whole World to Know. He wants to either destroy or enslave humanity.
And like. 🤨🙄😒
But the main thing is, that like all who seek power especially men, power seeking/hierarchy assertion is a fear behavior.
Like yeah yeah "rage at a world that abandoned him" or whatever but like. Anger is a secondary emotion. Bro is covering for grief and fear. 🤷🏾♀️
Hell the comics even confirm this with (spoilers) Vlad calling him out for the same things that he does.
But even beyond that i dont excuse his power seeking behavior to Plasmius's influence.
Danny has that in him too.
Because Dan's whole shit is an act of Ego Protection.
Bro is Desperate to keep that grief buried.
He needs everyone to be scared of him. He needs everyone to feel as bad as he does.
But on God and the Ancestors, that man is One (1) Hard Read away from breaking into tears. The only thing stopping that from happening is that, unfortunately, he has enough power to never be forced to sit with himself in that way.
So he is constantly coping.
He cannot deal with his own reality so he does everything in his power to avoid it, much like how Teen Danny has a dedicated part of his brain for Not Thinking About What He Is.
The one time he was forced to really think about himself/his nature Spectra damn near had his ass because it fucked him up so bad
So he has the same coping mechanisms as he always had. For one.
He has the same fragile ass ego, tho aggressively protected, for two.
And now on to the third part of my power point presentation.
Like, hey, sidebar: Danny's moral compass is typically other people most often Sam or Jazz. And btw offloading his moral/emotional intelligence onto the women his life dovetails really nicely with my final point.
Which is that, for all of his good qualities, Danny is still socialized as a Statistically Average White Boy.
And while this doesn't guarantee that you turn out evil there's a couple of things that you just gotta accept about that.
Male socialization in western cultures does not allow for emotional development. You are not taught to express yourself. The only acceptable emotion is anger.
There is the Male Socialization of Dominance as a Means of asserting status/manhood.
And despite what the melanin deficient leftist population would like to believe *****this doesn't exist in a vacuum from race*****
But i will focus on the parts most relevant re: racial socialization for Danny.
Because while in all likelihood that he's walking around with a thousand and two unconscious biases (keep in mind i am talking about canon Danny not the perfectly woke version that lives in the fandom's mind) brass tacks there's certain things white people and white men especially (tho white women and femmes are NOT EXEMPT) are conditioned to believe about the world.
One of which is the deeply individualistic belief that you are Entitled To Revenge.
My toxic trait is that im lowkey Pro Revenge. But this stance is for minorities specifically. And no being a white woman/femme/afab does not count. Talk to me when your voting block can compete with Black women re: progressive political alignment. ✌🏾
Because, as we all know, the thing about white supremacist capitalist patriarchy is that it hurts everybody. Even those who receive dividends from it.
But white people are Severely Individualism Pilled and so when they feel the Steel Toed Boot of The System crushing their windpipe they feel Uniquely Slighted.
As if No One Has It As Bad As Me or, alternatively Anger at An Uncaring World.
The narcissistic "woe is me" bullshit that acts as if the world continuing to turn when your life goes bad and the general apathy of the masses is the result of an inherent depravity in the world as opposed to everyone being caught up in their own bullshit. Largely do to trying to survive under the same oppressive system that caused the pain in the first place.
People would have a lot more time to care about the plight of strangers if they were not being made to fight for scraps.
And yes "anyone can feel the pain of an uncaring world" but white entitlement allows for so much insulation from Systemic Violence that the idea that Other People Are Going Through It Too but Would care if given the chance eludes them.
Because white people pain is real pain. (unlike the pain of minorities caused by systemic violence) but white people's voluntary isolation (because holding on to cultural identity and community makes you Other) makes it so that pain, tho real, is an individual problem.
Whiteness has no tools for mending grief because that does nothing to reinforce hierarchy. It has no use for a broken worker.
And so white people though they will acknowledge the pain of other whites with thoughts and prayers have no means of actual communal grief and healing.
So when Danny lost his support system he was up a creek.
Not to mention him ending up in the custody of Vlad of all people meant that there was no fucking chance of him learning any kind of healthy coping mechanism.
So you have a young white man who is going through grief, feeling very isolated, who is by the nature of his socialization inclined to respond to respond to extreme emotional distress with repression or anger, and who's standing in society would (at least subconsciously) condition him to believe that it is his right to lash out against an uncaring world.
Who suddenly had the power to do so with the twitch of his finger.
So basically a young white man, who already wasn't popular at school but "was such a nice boy" and experienced real grief from the sudden violent loss of his support system and anger at living in a world that is cruel and unfair and doesn't care that he's hurting, chooses to externalize it in the form of mass murder. (Bonus points: he's literally the embodiment of his own suicidal ideation.)
(No literally the first act Dan ever did was kill himself. But the Phantom half isn't able to die. So he's just endlessly externalizing that pain. Kind of on the nose tbh)
So no i am Not Surprised At All that Danny would turn into Dan given the circumstances.
Tldr; sorry to tell you but Danny fits 3/4 of the profile for a school shooter and the loss of his community and support network would likely be enough to tick the last few boxes 🤷🏾♀️
people will come up with 10 thousand excuses on why they don't actually agree with something when they pretend to do so. anyway I hope people realized that a lot of the stigmatization against nudity/nude bodies is quite literally the result of colonization/imperialism and overall fascism.
what I mean by that is colonizers viewed the nudity of black and indigenous people as "obscene" and inherently sexual because of the avid dehumanization of them. it's literally just fascist bullshit spread in people's brains SPECIFICALLY AMERICANS. (my European gf has told me many times that America's weirdness about nudity was strange and I agree)
another point: second hand dysphoria, while it is a thing, is entirely on you and is 100% manageable and saying other people's bodies, especially if they are other trans men with breasts, makes you "dysphoric" you need to genuinely push pass that and grow up and stop getting uncomfortable over other bodies. as harsh as that is I'm sure other people don't like being told they're dysphoria inducing.
