"Adventuring skips a generation"

[haydenthewitch]

when you watch cloho with the assumption that rowdy is a roundabout way of calling someone a queer, that letter from cadswitch to professor mccloud is realy fucking funny. my gay grandson has a turd father and anger in his heart, signed cadswitch gotch

I can't believe it's #CloudwardHo day?!?!?

I've been working on this since September of last year, and I can't wait to hear what the #Dimension20 fans think ♥

SEE YOU IN THE SKIES!!!!

ID: A flashback photo of the crew of the Zephyr - left to right: Montgomery LaMontgommery, Daisuke Bucklesby, Marya Junkova, Olethra MacLeod, Comfrey MacLeod, Vanellope Chapman, Maxwell Gotch, Cadswitch Gotch. The Zephyr is in flight behind them, they are standing on a loading dock surrounded by crates and cranes

There's something so quietly tragic to me about the correspondence the crew found.

The callous way Comfrey and Cadswitch refer to Hutch and Longspot, who don't share their passions. The contrast of how they clearly love the spark they see in their grandchildren, Olethra and Maxwell.

They wrote their kids off as uninspired, but imagine having them as parents. Reaching out to a parent whose eyes only look skyward.

Adventuring skips a generation, indeed.

sequel tease: how the fuck did cadswitch gotch get those keys

[unexistingdotnet]

I'm convinced that the "Seventh Son Curse" is just that the seventh Gotch son ends up being really rowdy. I think Cadswitch had his version of a "You are MEAT" moment, and afterwards was just like, "Okay, I'm staying on the ground now."

thinking about comfrey and cadswitch’s letters to each other kinda dunking on their kids who wound up different and olethra and max saying wow adventuring skips a generation and… yeah. it really does.

longspot gotch is kind of a stick in the mud. he is boring. hutch macleod is firmly rooted in his own place. he has rules he follows to a t (even if they are just that you should be able to do whatever you want). because longspot saw his father sink his money into who he saw as a lunatic, saw all the ways the family name and fortune were going up in flames before his eyes. hutch saw his mother live by no rules, tied down to nothing, free as the wind and never holding to any real commitments and leaving people behind at her own whims. they both saw their parent’s flaws and failures and course corrected to an extreme to never be that way.

max and olethra only heard the good parts of the glory days. you don’t sit around and tell your kid “yeah grandpa did all that cool shit and he was stupid, he squandered his fortune” you don’t tell them “grandma’s a bad person who gave me abandonment issues”. at least you don’t tell then that during their formative years.

s o by the time they’re old enough to form opinions, they’re sky-eyed and eager to go adventure themselves, see where the stories happen, hear from the legends themselves.

adventuring skips a generation because the grandkids don’t see all the downsides and harsh realities of adventuring. they don’t see the consequences until its too late. max and olethra didn’t see how much adventuring strained the crew’s lives until they were already in zood, they never saw how badly their relationships with comfrey turned out until they got to ramansu.

they’re not going to see how much the legends leave out till they see comfrey in her element on this adventure, and then they’ll realize for themselves why adventuring skips a generation. and i cannot wait to see it.

thinking about olethra and maxwell friendship and their bond and the way they're bitchy together and thinking about the letters between cadswitch and comfrey and the way they're gossiping about their families and thinking about this familial bestie bond that is the same but different over generations
