army dreamer
MOTHER 3 SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!
i heard this song on tiktok and i knew what i had to do straight away
feel how it beats in and out
i was playing around in mspaint and before i knew it there was angst on my screen 😰😰😰😰
mfw when the media has twin siblings
if i had a nickel for everytime my favorite game had twin siblings who will experience merciless angst and seperation i'd have two nickels
im actually going to be heartbroken if something happened to ted cain's not able was hard enough to watch
smash bros spoiling fucking everything, and years of internet spoiler osmosis, kind of ruined what i think must've been one of the most surreal and unnerving experiences for mother fans who did get to play this game blind. gradually realizing It's Fucking Porky, Porky Is Here, What Is Porky Doing Here, must've been an absolute trip after being thrown into a totally distant world. going into Mother 3 expecting More Mother 2 - then when the mother 2 finally arrives, it's zombified and haunted and blatantly Doesn't Belong Here. something about the way m3's setpieces weaponize nostalgia - as does porky himself. you can admire his teddy bears and baseball bats. lucas can interact with the scaraba sarcophagus, and you're familiar, but because lucas doesn't know what the hell that is, he goes "what could this be?" you can walk up to his jukebox and play humoresque of a little dog but it feels. Different. almost a little nauseating. the way new tazmily looks like onett but something is very Wrong. everything about New Pork and the movie theater. it's like taking all the nostalgia bait a nintendo sequel is supposed to indulge in and turning it on its head. some sort of meta or even profound commentary on those who demand a return to "the good ol' days," and in so doing rob others of a better future - whether we're talking about video game nerds or politics. i love it. if there's one thing i wish i couldda experienced fresh when i first played mother 3, it's whatever the hell all this is.

Claus... It almost sounds like a person's name.
Dont mind me just turning this silly little comment into a full on analysis
I was gonna make this a normal comment but it turned too long
So then @pylon-lover
Spoilers for mostly Hollow Knight and Mother 3 below
I don't think its as much soulless Characters as much as it is characters who Pretend to, or are forced to be soulless
Actually there are a lot of characters here who are in their own unique situations but have many similarities despite being completely different characters.
The one who fits the best into being Soulless is THK (The Hollow Knight), but they're not soulless at all. The whole point of their story was that they weren't Hollow. They were created by the Pale King as a soulless vessel to contain the Radiance within them. And it would've worked too if it weren't for the fact that they weren't actually Hollow. Were not sure why but it could be that they developed a parental bond with the Pale King. But I'm not a Lore expert, go watch Mossbag. Anyways while cut content shouldn't be considered canon THK has a few cut dreamnail lines.
In the THK fight the cut dreamnail lines are:
...Kill...
...Shall blaze free...
...This Vessel, broken...fails...
...Dawn...Shall break...
...No mind, the usurper...Only strength...
...Kill the usurper...Our light it would suffocate...
...Father?...
So all the first ones are obviously the Radiance leaking through, but the last one is clearly THK. So the considered the Pale King to be their father, even going as far as to call out/hallucinate him? Even after all that he did to them. But again this is cut content and is therefore not canon
Im going to stop rambling about THK here since this is all commonly known knowledge in the Hollow Knight Fandom
The next one to be most Soulless is Claus but he was brainwashed into being a mindless obedient Cyborg for Porky. He isn't Soulless just mind controlled.
The list goes on
Sunny isnt Soulless he's Severely traumatized
Edgeworth isn't Soulless just also traumatized
Dave (DSAF) isnt soulless just... Well- I mean I guess theres an argument there but I'm talking about flip side Dave in DSAF 3 and he's literally a soul there so yeah, not soulless.
Also Brainwashing seems to be a big theme in here, dunno what thats about. Dedede gets Brainwashed like 10 times can't the dude catch a break.
So anyways, what I'm seeing here upon closer inspection at all these characters is a theme and 2 categories
The First Category is Characters who are in a situation where they are forced to act differently to how they would normally or if they had a full perspective on the situation
And
The Second Category
The Silly characters :)
Who I like cause they're silly :)
And almost all of them have some kind of Daddy/Mommy issues :)
That or Fraternal issues
Of course the categories do overlap with a couple of characters but thats about as close as I can get
...
And then theres Joltik :D
Anyways thank you for coming to my TEDtalk if you even read this far which to be honest is quite unlikely. I just like talking about my faves. I could talk more about them but I'd need a topic and such and I don't think anyone's really here to watch me ramble on
On the unlikely occasion that anyone actually sees this and is interested tho just send me an ask and give me a character (preferably one from the list or a character from the fandom that the characters from the list are from(god thats a confusing sentence)) and a topic and I'll make another one of these again. I really could talk more about all of the Characters up there just don't have any ideas for how.
Probably not gonna happen but I could dream
So about my interests
I realized that I never really said a thing about them, and I have a wide variety of them. So for the sake of simplicity Ive made a little thing. Most of my favorite characters :D That should give you a pretty good read on my Personality maybe. I know I'm probably missing some but these are the ones I could remember at the moment. It's all my Lil guys from across most of my fandoms. No, I do not take critizism moving on.
(I can't have a picture for Martin cause hes from a podcast and so has no official art, and I'm not to keen on stealing any)
Here they are :DDD Aww lookit themmmmm
:)
Don't you hate when this happens 😡
So glad I finally got to experience this game last year because it means the world to me 💛 Will keep cherishing it for many years to come
