I looked at you, and suddenly, every heartbreak I've ever had, made sense.

- Suvrahadip Ghosh, Making Sense

There is nothing more selfish than a person who chooses to love you despite their fear of commitment. They will draw you in with their words of affirmation and sweet touches of affection. They’ll peel back your layers until you’re vulnerable. Until you need them. So you lean into the love because it feels like nothing you’ve ever felt before. And as you start to actually lean in and trust, they realize it’s too much. They had no intentions of actually loving you. They just wanted a taste of what it would be like. And yet the irony of it is that they mean everything to you. Yet you’ve satisfied their taste. Now you realize you’ve never seen eye to eye. You fell in love with everything you thought they would be. You fell in love with broken promises. And yet the pain of knowing the future you painted with them will never be, cripples you. Knowing to them it was just "fun,” as if they did not wake up every day and choose to love you for two years. As if they weren’t telling you how much they loved you a day before walking out of your life. It is the confusion and lack of understanding that smacks me straight into the concrete. Where I still lay with open wounds. That’s the thing about selfish people. They’ll fight tooth and nail to get you to accept their love. And when you finally do, loving you is now an inconvenience. Suddenly they are now letting you go “out of love." As if you’re the one who wanted to throw all of the love away. What favor are you really doing me? Did you not see the tears that poured down my face? Did you not see my heart dangling outside of my chest? Did you not hear the scream I belted as my heart shattered into a million pieces as you walked out of the door? You claim you loved me, and yet my pain did not make you question if you were making the wrong decision. Not even for a second. But what’s really selfish is the nerve to give me one last kiss goodbye as if I weren’t already broken enough. After all of this time, I am still putting pieces of myself back together. And not once have you reached out to even check on my well being. Instead, you’re out getting drunk and going to concerts for a temporary high. But then I remembered it’s me who’s selfless and you who’s selfish. So why would you even consider me?

HI I want to talk about the Keroro platoon mechas because I love how thoughtfully they're made and how they relate to their teams dynamic <3

VERY long post under the cut.

As you can see, the first Keroro mechs combine with Giroro being the bottom right leg, Dororo being bottom left, Kururu being left arm, Tamama being right, and Keroro being the head. This is what Kururu later refers to as Robot #1.

Later, when the mechs been destroyed and Shurara throws a tantrum, the team gets saved by what Kururu has dubbed Robot #2. Notice the changes here. Giroro is now the right arm, Kururu is now the right leg, and Tamama is the left arm.

This change is a big deal!

Your legs control your mobility. These, in a symbolic sense, are who I would imagine "carry" the team, or the rocks of the team, for lack of better words.

With robot #1, the base is Giroro and Dororo. Keroro's oldest friends, people he, in almost only a familiar sense, seems to be able to rely on. While all three seem to care about each other, these two are also most likely to shoot Keroro down.

Giroro because he hates when his plans are poorly crafted, and Dororo for refusing to participate in plans deemed too violent, among other things for both men. In relation to what that says about their characters, it almost implies Dororo and Giroro have to stop Keroro from walking into dumb shit. Very literally stopping him; ie controlling his mobility. In relation to Keroro, he uses their refusal as a reason why their plans never work out, ALSO putting the responsibility onto them as mobility.

With the younger duo, Tamama is, very fittingly, Keroro's right hand. Keroro and Tamama would probably like to believe Tamama is that loyal to him. Tamama gets to fuel his fantasy of being closer to the sergeant, and Keroro gets to have someone look up to him. To feel looked up too, in the very least. Kururu is his left hand, as the person who can make pretty much anything happen. I'm sure to Kururu, it'd also be beneficial to be seen as close to Keroro. They are the most loyal to him, in his eyes. Hands.

Now Robot #2 is built SPECIFICALLY to get them out of trouble. If Robot #1 is to represent how the team as it usually functions, Robot #2 is where they're most functional, or where they need to get.

I'll start out with Tamama. It's just a part of growing up that you learn your heroes are human. (He does this in the manga at least.) This doesn't mean he wants to leave him, though. Shown with him being his left hand instead of his right, it's good not to take everything Keroro says to heart, but that doesn't mean he wants to give up on him.

Giroro is his right hand. He's also the only one who is WHOLLY focused on invasion; the reason they're stuck on this planet in the first place. While they both go back and forth at each other all the time, Giroro would die for Keroro. He's trying to get him on the most fruitful path, even though he's harsh with how he goes about that.

Kururu is his left leg. He does more than the platoon has (willingly) acknowledged. He's pretty fucking needed in the case of invasion as a base, but also, he keeps tabs on everyone. He can track them down, finds and stops dangers before they even get to them. Don't get me wrong though, there's something interesting to consider that he moved further from his captains arms. This could represent everything he's kept hidden from the team.

I could say a million things about Dororo's place, mostly because I find it so like him. He didn't move. I'm not saying everyone should shut Keroro down, but Dororo is almost always in the right when he does it. Yes, he would be in a humans perspective to the invasion, but even with Keroro's feelings in mind he does his best to keep things fair. He doesn't take out his feelings over their past. They're both not perfect to each other of course, but Dororo is right where he needs to be. Which brings me to Keroro.

Keroro is the head. I know I've talked about him in relation to everyone else in this post, but there's a reason why you need to focus on that. How he see's the team and how the team gets along changes it's functionality, and as their leader, he needs to pay attention to both. He's pretty much in charge of both. How they see Keroro, how he allows them to see him, and how he see's them is placed right in front of us.

I could easily be reading into a mech that's clearly designed to be marketable, but I'd like to believe there's more to it than that. It's shows what work Keroro needs to do with his team. Tamama's misplaced idolization, finding understanding with Giroro, getting to know Kururu's everthing, and considering Dororo in general. And when it comes back to Keroro, it shows that his team won't give up on him. They just need to get a little closer.

Four sources, the whole robot change happens in episode 203.

I don't know if this is anything, but it meant enough to me to type this out at 2 am, so I'm posting it. Please let me know what you think and if there are any errors! Also, if this does seem like I'm reading to much into it, just know I will do it again

the way wilbur is so passionate abt ppl knowing that if it wasnt for the fact he's a cc, he'd be a stan is so!! /pos yknow?? like a lot of people outside of fandom/stan circles tend to look down on people for being superfans of something (cough cough mostly bc of misogyny cough cough) and having a content creator go "no actually? that would be me, too" is super uplifting. it genuinely feels like he respects fans/stans and their passion (also applicable to dream and his defense of stans)

yes you get it you get it!! the way he is so sweet and understanding of fan communities especially his own and like. on such a large scale, with an audience that gets looked down upon a lot, it would be really easy for wilbur (and for any cc in that position) to turn against their fans and make fun of them or ridicule them but he doesn’t, and it means a lot!!

and unironically. this isn’t a joke. THIS is why i actually adore the stupid hamilton accent cover. because he’s just like us fr and he doesn’t care about things being seen as cringe or weird. genuinely it means everything to me to not only have a streamer who doesn’t shame viewers for their interests, but actively engages in things in a similarly enthusiastic way. he is killing cringe culture not only for us but for himself and this has been said as a joke before bc its funny but like, it legit is true and. it just means a lot to have a streamer who has interests and engages with them like i do! and isn’t ashamed!

it'll be okay *puts a little flower in your hair* :)
