since @cl0wnn8 and @0bsessively0bsessive just posted their goopy pokemon teams, i decided to remake mine (since my old ones are a lil out of date LOL)

[novoafterduck]

What my goopies would be cancelled for ‼️‼️‼️ they're all morally gray at best and evil at worst, so this was fun to make

[novoafterduck]

it's really funny cause in developing daisy and getting attached to her/drawing her I've started to like her more than her husband 💀 jimmy is still beloved but nothing beats a sad woman who struggles with her purpose in life ✌️

Daisy's pokemon team just dropped u guys,,, maybe one day I'll draw my goops with their partner pokemon cause i just KNOW that would be so freaking cute omggggg

[novoafterduck]

i miss you daisy i wish you were real,,, sighhhhh,,,,,

anyway daisy likes the beach i feel. she enjoys getting a nice tan, and relaxing by the water while reading those shitty romance novels with buff men on the cover.

since the weather is improving (where i live at least. Rip my friends in maine), more summer themed headcanons will probs drop soon while I manifest it's arrival

Goop Casting #1 - Daisy

First session of Goop Casting! Where when I come up with a person/actor that has a good voice/look/vibe for a character, I yap about it.

This session, despite being the first, is surprisingly about more of a minor character in my au! That being Daisy, who's (regrettably) better known as Jimmy's wife!

And the actress I've given her is Stephanie J. Block! Or more specifically, Block's performance as Trina in the Falsettos Musical.

The reason I'm starting with her is because, in comparison to someone like Two Time or Azure,,, it didn't require as much thought lol. Kinda unceremonious, but it's easier for me to choose an actor for a smaller character, rather than one who's deeply personal to me.

Character Analysis/Comparison under the cut! Although admittedly this is less about the actress herself and moreso the character she portrays. This will likely be reoccurring, where an actor's portrayl of their character inspires/reminds me of mine. Or something like that.

Daisy in the original Last Guest, not even in just Forsaken which does her even worse, is.. not really a character. She's Jimmy's supportive wife who takes care of Charlotte while he's at war, and is wholesome and sweet, but very bland as far as characterization goes.

Trina in Falsettos is meant to parody this troupe of the submissive wife, as her husband ends up cheating on her with another man causing her to break down. And while Jimmy pointedly is not doing that, I do think Trina's feelings towards her husband/life reflect Daisy's. Honestly, I think her character writing in general is what inspired me when writing Daisy.

Instead of cheating, the main problem in their marriage is Jimmy neglecting his family because of his dissatisfaction with himself and the way his life is going. This leaves Daisy feeling hurt and upset, because in her mind she can't understand why he dosen't think their family is enough. Neither are evil, but you can tell that Jimmy is screwing her over far more than she is to him.

She was raised in the same orphanage that he was, and her whole life she's craved settling down, getting married and having a family without any worries or stress. Having a chaotic childhood just made her want a simple life—she was raised to want a nuclear family. This idealized version of a happy ending also came from how young girls are taught that this is what a perfect life is—being a perfect wife with a perfect husband. And that ideal ended up leading her throughout her life. So she married Jimmy, had a daughter, and for a while she had that life she always wanted.

Eventually Jimmy left to go to war, but she understood his cause and didn't object. She was supportive. So when he came back and overtime became unsatisfied with where he was, she felt betrayed. She loved him dearly, and was supportive and caring for his whole life and their whole marriage, only to be pushed to the side because of his lack of wanting to stop fighting for someone. He's spent so long fighting that he can't imagine stopping—but she can't understand why he wouldn't want to.

Back to Trina, her whole character arc is trying to keep together a broken marriage for the sake of her family, and then realizing that (in layman's terms) men ain't shit. Although Jimmy has a lot of knowledge and experience, he still has some of that immaturity and pride that a lot men have when they're unsatisfied. And Trina her whole life is constantly surrounded by immature men who she's expected to put up with and keep grounded because she's the woman. This is why she originally chases this, because she thinks it's a good thing because it's all she knows.

Daisy is very similar to this. She has to put up with a husband who (while he still loves her dearly) is becoming more distant in favor of a damned ex-cultist, and stubbornly can't take her perspective. She's been submissive and second to men her whole life, being pigeonholed as the "wife" and "mother" for ages, and so this is her realizing that the perfect nuclear family has just as many problems as any other type of family.

I'm still developing her, and I don't think that she and Jimmy will split, but to me she's a lot more complex than she seems. Very similar to Trina, she's surrounded by men who won't take her seriously and definitely needs some therapy.

Also since the acress I choose performs in a musical, rather than audio-clips for the voice claim, I have songs I can link to! Feel free to listen. I definitely think they're thematically similar, and gives a good impression on what I think she sounds like :)

thinking about a vulnerable and sad daisy going to her local flowershop to try and feel better, where she meets the most comforting and attentive woman alive 💖💖 azure listening to her problems and offering advice and a place to be if she doesn't want to be home 💖💖💖

maybe yuri develops as both of them find solace in each other as they cope with their ex-and-current partners bullshittery 💖💖💖💖💖
