I don’t know where that « Butch is the rebel » thing came from— maybe it came from people constantly seeing the Rrb as « boy versions » of the Ppg, and NOT as the individual characters they are. (I agree that the boys are definitely complementary to the girls’ personalities, and that they DO have their fair bits of similarities, but my point stands.)
Anyways, my boy is NOT the rebel some people make him out to be— like, did we forget that in the show, not ONCE did Butch try to challenge Brick’s authority? You know who DOES challenge their leader?
BUTTERCUP. And Boomer, in a way? But yeah.
Is he a troublemaker? Indubitably. Just like his brothers are. They’re the ROWDYruff boys. They find it fun to wreck havoc and destroy stuff and challenge authority, but their pursuit of « evil » is moreso abstract. It’s that « cool », distant thing they were subconsciously taught to seek by their parental figures, Mojo, and HIM. And I like to think that that is why they’re so hellbent on destroying the PPG.
Because the Ppg ARE goodness. They are, and I shall quote Mojo himself, « Butts nestled between the pillars of peace and love. ». To the boys, destroying THEM would cement THEIR own roles as the worst, most evil supervillains (and, by extension, worthy of their creators’ attention and respect. Because I do not believe HIM could ever love ANYTHING, and Mojo cannot love ANYTHING more than revenge at this point.)
I suppose their egos would also be a factor in their pursuit of the girls’ downfall— but anyway!
The core difference between Butch and Buttercup (who are my favorite of their respective factions, erm erm), I think, is as follow:
If Brick/Blossom were to fall from grace, and lose their place as their teams’ leader— Buttercup would (and has) try to take her place. Butch, would not.
Might re-read pas de deux
hey!! I really loved the tisha analysis you did :>> and the Arthur dandy delilah one a while back, you really make the characters make more sense to me especially ones rarely talked abt in the community. Was wondering if you're gonna do that for more characters or not ?¿ Would love to see your takes >:>
Say less
Feeling cute, might watch Galavant again...
POST ABOUT CRAIG
Omg I have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE of who sent this...
If they’re rebranding, I wonder why they didn’t do that before coming back. Were they sincere when they said they had no idea ppl were still interested in them so they just brought dapg back temporarily just to see how it’d go with no intention of going forward, then?
it would have been very risky to rebrand the channel right away. nostalgia is a strong thing, people wanted dnpg back, the channel that they were familiar with. and now, dnp went so far away from gaming that it would technically make sense to rebrand when those who wanted to come back to the phandom/channel are already here, and dnpg has a somewhat stable engagement. people are not gonna run away if the channel changes its name. but if dnp changed it in October 2023 people wouldn't have come back, because the recognition of DanAndPhilGAMES as it has been for years was very strong back then.
idk if i'm explaining it thoroughly.
