doc hiring scar to solve his own crime is so fucking hilarious in retrospect. docm77 wants to be a big bad scary villain so bad but unfortunately for him he lives in looney tunes world and gets roped into hiring mr bugs bunny as a disguised detective to solve his own ore crimes. and then gets sent to skyblock

God, Maxwell and Olethra's equal but opposite character arcs are really getting to me.

Olethra is sky-eyed from the start, granddaughter of the legendary adventurer Comfrey MacLeod. She's desperate to escape the boring life that her parents lead in Pilby and to follow in the footsteps of her grandmother. She's a huge fan of the Zephyr crew, and she read all of Monty's books about their adventures.

But as she goes on this adventure, she realizes that while it is certainly fantastical, it's also dangerous as well. She's lucky enough to have the mech, but the other people around her don't have that kind of protection. She watches them get beaten bloody and struggle to fight back. When she tries to get in a good quip for Monty's next book, he's distracted in the middle of his fight. Things aren't like the stories.

And on top of all of this, the grandmother that she adored so much is slowly revealing herself to be a not-so-great person. She was reckless and single-minded, prone to taking on debts that she knew she couldn't pay. She was sometimes unkind to the people who had once been family to her, and sometimes her recklessness really hurt them. Her grandmother is not the false idol that Olethra has made her out to be, she is a real and flawed woman.

On the other hand, Maxwell is incredibly serious and practical. While he holds onto his grandfather's idea that finding Zood is a worthy investment, he does not hold onto any whimsical ideas of exploring it. He simply wishes to note that it exists to restore the Gotch family name before immediately returning to Gath. Even his fighting is based in rules and structure, even if it's incredibly violent. Mordecestershire is "breaking the rules" by wearing a jetpack to escape instead of simply dying from being thrown off the ship. It's all logical.

But the longer that Maxwell spends in Zood, the more impractical and almost whimsical he becomes. Yes he's still incredibly serious, but he also believes for a moment that he could fight a dinosaur. He jokes with Monty about his books being terrible. He makes the "rowdy" and reckless choice to give Torse his heart. He throws a snowball at Monty when they're at the Ectic Research Station. Even the "you're meat" scene is its own kind of twisted whimsy, comically violent and highly impractical. Of course he's still a bit of a wet blanket sometimes, but he's slowly learning why his grandfather was so sky-eyed.

Olethra's arc is about a dreamer having to ground her dreams in reality, and Maxwell's arc is about getting a realist to start dreaming again.

This didn't age well in the 7 hours it was up xD

Am I the only one who's legitimately angrily upset about the whole server targeting The Villies this episode and pearl going from five lives to completely knocked out of the series?

Ayda and Adaine hit the hallmarks!

One of my favorite things about Daisuke is the fact that he consistently kicks ass, but the moment he’s faced with even a minor inconvenience he’s yelling “I’m dead!” or “Help!” and I need to know did he do this when he was younger too??

[simplyiru]

My mind uncontrollably bounces between "maxwell gotch is my boy, trapped in a family who doesn't understand him and dealing with the grief of his grandfather's death" and "maxwell gotch is a fighter who needs the rules of gentleman fisting because without the rules succumbs to bloodlust and becomes The Max, dr jekyll and Mr hyde style"

I'm trying to make this to statements coexist
