smash/pass masterpost because i got home to 10 asks in my inbox. thank you for all the enthusiasm. u are about to find out some things about me

Aesthetically I super enjoy this thing I like the wing pattern and the big eyes but that's just a big insect so pass.

the outfits go really hard i'll give him that but still pass, don't like his music

Ok i've seen him around, by which I mean i see 9000 men exactly like this in town every single day and there's no outfit on earth that will offset the absolutely dire hair so pass. i'm picky.

I like how the wings are implemented here as far as viddy game dragons go, the silhouette is very strong. but pass; this is just a dragon to me. maybe if he had a human form

If he looks like he does in the concept art I give it a tentative smash but I've seen that in-game model and it leaves much to be desired re: the face situation

pass. i think he would be selfish

Some depictions have a human face and I'm a sucker for that so smash. I think he is cute

okay here's the embarrassing thing, when i think of enkidu i immediately think of viral from gurren lagann and i had a major crush on him when i was younger so on this basis alone I am going to say Smash. The wikipedia description of him being a half bull half man is also very fun

To pieces ngl

I like a lot about the film, I like the care and consideration given to the monster, reaching out to him, learning to communicate with him, etc. it's a lot of stuff i am a huge fan of in my own work of course. But i don't like overly humanoid 'gillman' type designs and find him too skinny and leggy. so like pass but i respect him and his work very much

His face is weird. Something about the eyes.

Too many review titles in a row has left me oversaturated with the 'scrappy spaceship crew found family' trope. At this point it's more refreshing if everyone on the ship hates each other

What font are you currently using for your phone?

The most basic font you can get: (Samsung's default font). I was kind of disappointed when I found out that my phone didn't come with more than like 4 fonts built in.. I looked for some fonts to download but couldn't find the one that I actually wanted. There's a specific fancy cursive font that I like but it's not too thick or thin, I'm picky and haven't found it yet.

Normally I would have completely customized my phone by this point.. I'm still messing around with it trying to figure things out. The last phone that I had was almost a decade old so all this new technology kind of has my brain spinning a little bit.

A Really Stupid Pet Peeve of Mine

One random thing that annoys me sometimes for some reason is when people refer to Patton solely as Thomas’ “moral side.” Like, when someone is introducing all the sides, they say the Logan is logic, Virgil is anxiety, Roman is creativity and passion, and Patton is morality.

The series may have recently been leaning into the moral aspect of Patton more, but he has previously been established to be a lot more broad than that. He preserves all of Thomas’ more nostalgic memories (as shown in Moving On Parts 1 & 2). He encourages Thomas to do the little things that make him happy (Mind vs. Heart and Growing Up show this especially well). He often says that he is Thomas’ emotions, or at least holds them.

Patton is fun and playful and sometimes ignores doing these more “ethics” centric duties in order to just enjoy life. In fact, most of the time, it seems like being Thomas’ moral compass is kind of a side gig rather than his main job.

His sense of morality is also shown to be both firm and loose at the same time. He has his core central values, and definitely has some of the more simplistic stuff down, but most of his more complex moral decisions are pretty in the moment and it feels like those more intense ones are more...shaky? If that’s the right word? His moral compass gets very confused and mixed up quite easily, and while that can happen to us all, it seems odd for a side whose whole thing is morality.

I was thinking about his almost contradictory nature a bit ago, as the title wasn’t adding up to me. How can he be Morality but also be the one in charge of the majority of Thomas’ emotions? That doesn’t make any sense. He seems more like just Thomas’ emotions who strongly affects his morals. So what does he have to do with morality? Then I remembered something that was right in front of my face: they don’t always refer to him as morality. Sometimes, they would call him Thomas’ “heart.”

And that makes so much more sense than him being morality specifically. Him being the heart explains everything about him and his actions. Metaphorically, we say that our feelings are stored in the heart, and that our heart is where some of our more instinctual morals are. The heart is often carefree and sometimes a bit fickle, often changing course in the moment.

It also explains why Patton’s moral dilemmas felt so weird to me. Because he isn’t morality specifically. He is more the instinctual and emotion driven side of morality. You could argue that ethics are always driven by emotion, but ethics also do sometimes have a sense of “logic” to them. Ethics are complicated, which is likely why Patton has such a hard time with his morality. It’s because it’s only a part of his job, and it isn’t his job alone.

So everything made sense. Patton isn’t Morality, he is Heart. He is Thomas’  sadness, happiness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust. He is the most simplistic and yet most complex side. His job is probably one of the hardest, in a way, as he carries many of the most all consuming and overwhelming emotions, like sadness and grief.

Now, there are other sides like Virgil and perhaps the Orange side (if people’s theories are correct) who are in charge of certain emotions. But Patton is in charge of the basic ones specifically. Thomas has a fear of spiders, and therefore Patton has a fear of spiders, whereas Virgil doesn’t. If we are going with the theory that Orange is something like Wrath or Rage, that is still slightly different from anger. And we rarely associate anger with the heart either way, unless it is very deeply rooted. On top of this, Rage and Wrath are much more festering, something that doesn’t seem to fit with what Patton is about.

All in all, this is my probably completely pointless post about why Patton is Thomas’ Heart, not his Morality. This is a really dumb thing to get annoyed over, but I just needed to let it out. It can lead to so many misconceptions about him as a character if we go with the mindset that his entire title is Morality rather than Thomas’ Heart. I’m pretty sure that everyone will read this post and say “well yeah, duh, we already know that. Way to state the obvious and get worked up over nothing.” But in my defense, I am neurodivergent and particular about everything.

So yeah, those are my thoughts on that.
