The Apotheosis is Upon Us

[meteoraflaire]

This may be me reading waaaay too far into something, but I have a theory about Luke Nukem and powercrank (obviously) from Date Everything. I also might be too ignorant of the world around me to see that this was really obvious, but I’m gonna roll with it.

Cw: mentions of meth comparisons, meth related psychosis issues, and allusions to needle usage under the cut.

Based directly from the game, what we know is that powercrank is…

a.) a stimulant drug (based on the knowledge that Luke stayed awake for about 49 months continuously)

b.) can be either injected (based on dialogue) or snorted (based on his datadex entry)

c.) has crank as a part of the name

and

d.) he has potential side effects of hallucinations; both audible and visible, paranoia, and self esteem issues

The real world components of meth, colloquially called “crank” include the fact that it is

a.) a stimulant drug

b.) can either be snorted or injected

and

c.) intense usage can cause hallucinations, paranoia, and self centered issues

We know Date Everything doesn’t shy away from topics of drug usage (Arma’s route with the cigarettes), and I know that Luke’s route can be played for laughs based on the line delivery they chose.

Do I believe the devs thought all of this through when writing Luke, probably not. Am I maybe reading too far into this at 12:42 in the morning, yes. This is just something that I needed to get off my chest before I repeated it to myself a million times before sleeping.

I got too desperate for official Luke Nuke’m merch, so I made my own.

I need official merch of this goober so bad, it’s not even funny. I can’t keep making earrings (and maybe pins) Get him out of the barren and onto some merch polls please!

its still crazy to me years later how artists and writers have been complaining about how hard it is sometimes to draw and write since the dawn of time and we all talk about how we'd love to be able to just make art without actually having to make art but when ai started producing images that were passable as human made art and companies started marketing it as Exactly That, Making Art Without Having To Make Art, we all collectively went "no wtf" and beat the shit out of it with hammers without hesitation

when i say “aros can still date” i mean that as in “aros can do whatever the fuck they want and it doesn’t have to make sense to you”

but some of y’all say “aros can still date” to mean “aros are still able to fit your standards of an acceptable person despite their abnormality” and i do not fuck with that

I was with my step-dad and (nonbio) uncle, and the topic of christian borle came up because i was talking about him. My uncle searched him up and was like 'yeah who the fuck is that' while my step-dad was IMMEDIATLY going "OH MY GOD OMG THATS THE GUY FROM THE EBAY AD"

Christian borle does shake his booty a lot but I can’t blame him like I would too if I had an ass like that

Reflecting on my past schooling, I probably wouldn’t have hated Romeo and Juliet as much as I do if my 9th grade English class voted on watching the 1996 version of it instead of the historical reenactment.

She might’ve skipped the drag scene though.
