So a lot of headcanons seem to go with Herm being a big Mecha fanboy, and I love the idea, but it seems weird in their interaction here that he doesn't recognize him straight away if that's the case.
So my take? Herman's a fan of heros in general, clearly he defintely likes Phenomaman and Blonde Blazer. But he has a more casual knowledge of other heroes at this point. So he's a casual Mecha fan during the tie scene.
He must have missed the Mecha Man press conference and not kept up with the news, because he was under the impression that Robert was dead? Internet rumors got out of control and lots of people thought he died when the suit got wrecked and so he didn't even think to follow any Mecha Man news after that?
Mecha Man was one of many heros that was the background radiation of his nerdy interests. So recognition comes eventually and you can tell that its a good realization because he has such a wistful voice when he realizes who is tying his tie.
He probably feels embarassed later that he said he thought Robert was dead to his face, but also he was a nervous wreck because he wanted to get a job at SDN so bad and everything was overwhelming. And his mouth ran off without his permission.
"Did I just call one of the biggest heroes dead and then tell him he was short?" he absolutely has a minor dying inside moment.
I like the idea of Herm becoming a more hardcore Mecha Man fan after this scene. He was so kind... He didn't have to help me with my tie... he didn't seem offput by my stuttering... His voice...
He gets to know Robert better over time because they work together, he just likes him. But Robert clearly has Blonde Blazer and Invisigal gunning for him, I can't compete with that. And Robert wouldn't look at me that way anyways.. It's nice to dream and get some posters, figurines, or other merch.
Sure he chose me to be on Z-team, but they were down a person they needed someone. (Not knowing that Robert chose him over Phenomaman. It's definitely my preferred version though you do miss out on that cute your the most important man in the city moment.)
And of course since this is my headcanon Herman is wrong... Robert likes him... Not like romantically... at first... He just so refreshing everybody else has an agenda, Herm just wants to be helpful, he wants to prove that he can do the thing, he wants to make the world a better place. He wants to be a hero because being a hero is something he's wanted to do forever. He's an actual nice person.
And this genuineness shines through and before Robert realizes it, he's fallen and he's falling hard.
VICTOR GIDEON MOVES like a crocodile. theyre slow and steady until they need to be (case in point, the hospital. victor quite literally stalks the damn halls, he's really calm and slow when he speaks, just to lash out when needed or during the bike scene) and nearly invisible even though theyre massive ginormous lizards. again case in point is when he literally kidnapped grace and moved about the hospital. he was SLEUTHING. the crooked teeth too. if you look at his mouth model, his teeth stick out unnaturally from his gums and are plated in gold. the gold part has no relevance but the way his teeth are arranged reminds me of the fact that crocodile teeth literally stick out at odd angles and thats how you tell them apart from alligators. DO YOU SEE. his eyes too like he has crocodile eyes and he BEHAVES HOW ID EXPECT A CROCODILE TO BEHAVE IM BEGGING U LISTEN. LISTEN TO ME PPL OF TUMBLR HES CROCODILE CODED AS MUCH AS HE IS SNAKE CODED I BEG
@three-eyed-rabbit because i figured you might wanna hear my little tangential thingy
So, with the addition of 중력 to the qsmp, and even more KR ccs to come, I feel like it’s time to say it again; DO NOT LITERALLY TRANSLATE HIS NAME!!!
It’s okay to romanize it as ‘Jungryeok’, but please do not address him as ‘Gravity.’ I know we had this talk with 악어 (Acau) and to not call him crocodile, but I’m already seeing some people complaining about how hard his name is. It’ll take some time to get used to, but please please please call him 중력. If I had to give a guide on how to pronounce it, it would be like ‘jung-nyeok.’ It’s not one for one, but he’ll introduce himself and then you can base your pronunciation off of that.
The mischaracterazation of characters from the first game : Boss
I doubt many people will find this but I wanted to share my thoughts in the second game as I've come to realize why I don't really enjoy it as much as I did the first. I would like to start this off by stating this is my personal observations and opinions, if you are a fan of this game and enjoyed it, that's nothing to be ashamed of! You're entitled to your own opinion, and so am I.
Boss is going to be my main target for this little rant because I think he's been done the worst by the second game.
In the second game, Boss is framed as this cruel (perhaps a little pathetic) force that kept the ghosts in the office in an effort to not be alone. He's shown to be withholding the truth from them and lying to them about the truth of ghosts and how evil spirits are formed. Mind you, the secret was that good and evil are subjective and your ghostly form, your shadows, are built on your own guilt and your own perception of good and evil.
Brushing off the fact that I feel like this whole thing is super obvious, Charlie also mentions to Boss that Eugene has become his "puppet" and can't think for himself, make his own decisions, and that he just follows the rules Boss made blindly.
Essentially, Boss is antagonized in the second game, he isn't entirely villainized but he's framed in the wrong for keeping the ghosts stuck with him in the office. I'm not saying that it's not a bad thing to be doing, and had it been in character or made a little more sense to who he is in the first game, then I would have accepted it, but my main problem here is that it doesn't.
Let's see what we're shown of Boss in the first game. First and foremost, he's a sap. In the murderer ending, when Eugene sneaks off (directly disobeying Boss' orders and getting the help of Charlie to kill Jack as an act of justice for the kids and their mother), Boss has known Eugene for three days at most and he cries when he needs to seal the boy away.
One could argue that this relates to him and his whole agenda of keeping the office members close to him so he isn't to be alone, but I feel the need to mention that he drove Eugene away from the office once he realized that extended time with them was tampering with his mental state, making him prefer the underworld over the mortal world. If Boss really wanted to keep people close to him so they wouldn't be able to leave or think for themselves, he would've let Eugene stay. He wouldn't have driven him off and he would've let the boy continue to keep seeing them despite the harm it may cause to him.
In relation to this, if this Boss was the same one in CiU, then in the endings where Eugene dies (as a good spirit) then we wouldn't have the choice to choose between staying with the Underworld Office or passing on. Boss would have framed it as if he had no choice and was meant to stay with them.
Even if we take into consideration that Eugene could only stay in the mortal world if it was with the Underworld Office, we need to take into account that, had it not been for the office, Eugene had no reason to stay. He didn't have family close enough to stay nearby, sure he was friends with Luke but at the time they weren't that close, not close enough for Eugene to consider staying just for him.
This also debunks the "Boss' cute little puppet" comment, because he has given Eugene the freedom to make his own choices. Like in the main ending where Eugene breaks Jack's window. Boss had never told him to do that, hell, he never even told him that he could intervene, Eugene figured it out himself. In the first game, Boss is less of the controlling tyrant and more of a silent guide, only stepping in when absolutely necessary.
Now for his treatment with River. Yes, the hitting of the fan is a little iffy, but I view their dynamic as more of a sibling one and as someone with a sister myself, I get it. I doubt it's doing much harm anyway, they're ghosts.
One could argue that Boss gives Eugene all the freedom required compared to the other ghosts because he's the favorite, but there is a moment when Boss comes to River's defense, that being when Eugene called out for River in the subway and Boss reprimands him for calling her to a place that's sensitive to her. When River mentions calling Eugene newbie, Boss indulges in his own way and opts to call him junior.
In the first game, while we don't see much of the ghosts outside of how they interact around Eugene, it's evident that he cares. (Rivers character is also a little off in the second game too, but I'll delve more into her another time.)
Boss and River are also seen to be close, in the monster ending, once more, River is the one who's brought along to deal with Charlie and Eugene. Of all the people in the office, he chose River (I like to think she's also been with him the longest here). Hayden may have not been an option due to his age, but Joan is fully capable of joining him rather than Boss, and yet he chooses her.
Another inconsistency I would like to point out is his backstory. It doesn't quite make sense compared to what he's said about it in the first game?
In the monster of the underworld ending, Boss says this.
Boss states that he died not caring if he breaks himself if it were for the sake of justice, but in the game? He dies in a means of sacrifice. He puts himself into a portal to the underworld because he was told to do so, not of his own decision. I find it strange and rather anticlimactic for this to be the death of Boss in-game. It just doesn't feel right and it doesn't connect fully to what has been established in the last game.
In short, I believe that Boss (much like the rest of the cast) is mischaracterized in the second game. He's far more softer than he lets on, and I do think his character is drastically different depending on the game.
I'd love to hear your guy's thoughts on this though, I'm always open for discussion and it's good to get opinions regardless of if you agree with my takes or not. Thanks for reading, and don't be afraid to talk to me or ask questions!
I'll delve into my thoughts on the other characters in UWO vs CiU another time since I think they all have their issues.
Ok firstly this isn't going to be as put together as my normal posts, its 90% just a rant. Ok anyway
Tails from fur farms are a byproduct, same as the head and legs. Fur farms dont want or use the tails, head, or legs from whatever animal they use ,, they use the back fur primarily, and occasionally the belly.
Fur farmed animals are primarily farmed to make coats and other such things ,, no farm is farming animals just for their tails, idk why people think that.
Most tails aren't even being sold by fur farms, most are being sold by the companys that make the products (coats and other things) because tails are still a byproduct.
No one is morally worse than anyone else just because they own/buy fur farm tails, its literally just a choice that doesn't do much.
Also most "non fur farmed" tails from etsy and other such places are also fur farmed tails or sourced unethically. Youre not any better because you bought from etsy.
Buy what you want or Dont, 16 dollars wont stop fur farms.
