But does being a ball with no arms automatically make you a genius?
Like hear meowt for a second because there’s more to it.
I feel like in bfdi similar objects have similar traits. But also limb placement counts too, because 8 and 9 ball are NOT geniuses/scientists/inventors. They’re also both limbless.
It could also be that GB, TB, and BB are all SPORTS balls.
And snowball isn’t a genius either, but he has four arms and isn’t fully round
Eggy is on the fence. She’s not a sports ball and I don’t really know enough about her to say she falls in the genius archetype the others do.
Another object type that fits into a pattern (kinda?) is David and Dora. It’s pretty obvious but they both basically fit into the same tropes. That’s honestly why I don’t think the flower is a human theory makes a lot of sense because she doesn’t fit into the archetype of saying one catch phrase lol. I think roboty could be a good contender for the trope though because he always beepin. Maybe it hints at him being more than a robot? Eh it’s a stretch.
I could also see plant characters being somewhat villainous (or at least thought of as villainous) as an archetype that’s starting to emerge with flower and leafy. Grassy and Tree don’t really fit though
Maybe it’s because those two are PLANTS and the other two are plant PARTS. Leaves are only PARTS of plants and flowers are just reproductive organs of plants.
You could also see the archetype of two-legged grey characters being very silly all the time
“Shmiggledy! …shmaggledy.”
(Nickel, Rocky, and Naily)
I guess ruby and her sisters also count because they’re literally all interchangeable lmao
Idk if Firey or Firey Jr. share many personality traits but if they do that’d be pretty cool ig
Now that I think about it, there IS an archetype in OTHER object shows that Firey Jr. fits into. (And ice cube when she gets smol in tpot)
It’s the silly little guy with stick limbs (NO VISIBLE HANDS OR FEET) who is weirdly self aware and also REALLY cool lol. Sketchpad and Clippy from TNM, Firey Jr, words with friends tile.
I guess David and Dora could fit that trope too lol
Also I think writing utensils like pencil, pen, and marker could have similarities that are on the tip of my tongue but I can’t remember lol
Anyways I used the two legged ball is a genius trope to create Clown Nose who follows it, but since they aren’t a sports ball I can’t really say I’m 100% accurate with that, but it’s fine.
Anyways I’m curious if anyone else noticed this.
