I feel crazy sometimes for seemingly being the only person against the idea of Fawful coming back.

I don’t want him in a Mario movie, I don’t want him in a new game. I like his arc and story as is and my brain can’t handle any chance of his character being decimated.

I watched The Polar Express in theatres as a kid and adored it but the scene on top of the train with the hobo stuck out the most to me at the time to the degree that I got hyperfixated on it and his character for a while. Something about it captivated young me.

I thought back on it just now and went to rewatch it and it's crazy how many themes you don't pick up as a child that hit you square in the face as an adult. And how many are relevant to me personally now.

It made me think of back when I was so afraid to open up about my feelings for Fawful and the truth of how real he is to me - that fear of judgement or of being wrong to the degree that you deny your own lived experiences.

I have a deep appreciation for the children's films I grew up with like this.

The first time I met Fawful in a dream, it was in a hazy white void. Despite the visual emptiness, my heart was full of love and excitement.

This view evokes a nostalgic memory of a place I’ve been before.

did yall know that in 2020 I was LITERALLY SCARED like fingers trembling over the keyboard scared to publicly say I wanted to kiss Fawful and admit I had a crush on him?? I remember this so well.

I’VE COME A VERY LONG WAY

this is might be an odd question but

have you ever seen fawful in a bootleg game or somewhere you didn’t expect to see him?

i think i saw him in some comic book

I feel like I have but I can't think of any examples right now!

Is the comic book you happened to see him in 'The Comic Book Story of Video Games'? bc I did see a screenshot of that online and laughed at the image of him as a living vacuum tube 😭 Someone was definitely having fun with this reference.

I was asked how Fawful would react to someone else showing interest in Jolligig and while he wouldn’t resort to violence or anything, he WOULD show them exactly how and why he’s better than them and therefore better for Jolli by immediately challenging them to a battle of wits.

This person would just keep miserably losing to him while Jolli stands by looking confused like “Fawful, I’m not going to leave you-“

“SILENCE! Fawful is winning your heart.”

I do think there’s something inherently funny about the fact that I looked at this thing in 2019 and immediately thought of him making carnal love to me before I ever fell in love like that attraction was Instant and I only went further down the pipeline of romance after the fact

I know what Fawful’s teeth taste like
