Carl: Yeah I got good at frogger because my mom locked me in the basement anytime my dad's friends came around because she didn't want me around them... why are you guys looking at me like that?

dcc fans are doing the thing where they misinterpret a character to make them more visually appealing but instead of making some bland boy pretty theyre all collectively ignoring how fucked up purebred persian cats look

My favourite book series! This is Carl and Princess Donut from the Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman. Amazing books and amazing audio books because the narrator is so insanely talented you completely forget it’s just one guy!

Information about the painting

References used:

Carl - based very loosely on Tom Hanks from Saving Private Ryan

Donut - Google image search for tortoiseshell Persian cats helped me figure out the coat pattern and smushed face look

Tiara - Google image search for plastic tiara, and then I combined a few of the results for something a little more unique

Glasses - Google image search for rhinestone sunglasses, and then combined for a gaudy look

Butterfly charm - couldn’t find anything I really liked so it’s more of a sort of fairy wing look than anything else 🤷🏻‍♀️

Leather jacket - Google image search

I feel bad for the crawlers. Imagine needing to keep some random cat with single digit constitution alive because if you don't her best friend is going to go nuclear and probably kill everyone.

[haleingstorm]

the way that DCC goes out of it's way to say that 'the crawl is horrible, it's hurt so many people, and in turn those poeple have hurt more and more people and you are all trapped in this system one that needs to be broken but at the same time cannot be'

The way that it says 'earth is not the first, nor even the hundreth planet this has happened to but goddamnit it will be the last'

Odette: What is Donut to you?

Carl: The reason I get up every morning.

Audience: *oooohs and awwws*

Donut, at 5am bouncing around and pawing at Carl’s face: WAKE UP! WAKE UP! RISE AND SHINE CARL! WAKE UP!

Carl is "avoids politically charged language but holds beliefs he doesn't realise are political" to a hilarious extent. He incited revolution against an empire live on TV. He planted a bomb on a political agent. He made speeches about how the rich and powerfull are assholes. Cuba? oh, he doesn't know about Cuba, he's not interested in politics.

I Iove Lucia Mar so much,

Imagine being a mentally ill teenager when the world fucking ends. You are suddenly separated from your dad and left to defend yourself with your dogs, and then on top of that you are forced to physically mature yourself in order to please a bunch of aliens who are going to squeeze you dry for every last dime by any means possible.

Of course you’re gonna cope the only way you possibly can, by pretending that everything is one bad dream. All those people you hurt aren’t real, so why does it matter what you do?

[shydeerwolf]

God i fucking love when Carl gets to use his boat knowledge like fuckkkkk . first of all competent . about his field and can use it for his crafty plans also fuckkkk yes god damn. secondly he feels like a real solid character with a backstory that comes up naturally when its relevant and not expositiony. it's just. ugh. so good

[stealthetrees]

Princess Donut should get hit with a Polymorph spell that turns her into a human teenager until they kill the spell caster so Carl has to grapple with the fact that he’s actually Donuts dad while fighting off his trauma with a stick
