The Most Underused Part Of The Entire Carmen Sandiego Show And Fandom Is The Fact That Player Is Canadian.

The most underused part of the entire Carmen Sandiego show and fandom is the fact that Player is canadian.

Like... Carmen walks into the kitchen at three AM to see Ivy and Zack cheering for Player, who's chugging a giant ass glass of water to a folk song.

He convinced the siblings that Canadian House Hippos existed for several months until Carmen found out and made him admit they aren't real (they ARE)

And he??? keeps walking out into snowstorms with barely any clothes to get the god damn mail for his mom and his team keeps SCREAMING about it.

Carmen Sandiego gets a hundred percent funnier if you remember that Player has directly heard the VAST majority of Carmen's on-heist interactions (if you don't believe me, just pay attention to the way he talks after an event. Example: "You were kind of... direct", after her lecture in Dubai implies that he heard the fight)

Carmen: you aren't really dressed for the occasion... but we'll make it work ;)

Player, spitting out his drink: CARMEN-

Player: DID YOU JUST THROW A SHOE AT DEVINEAUX??

--

Player: Carmen I swear to God if you jump off of that building-

--

Carmen: when are you going to stop acting like amateurs!?

Player, casually turning the sound on his computer allll the way down: let's just ignore that :))) everything's fine!!

--

Player, hearing his best friend get her bones SNAPPED in a death hug: ...

--

Carmen: YOU OWE ME A NEW HAT!

Player: YEAH!

New Favorite Whump Trope

Character A is mostly innocent, but has been tied/chained up for whatever reason (betrayal, a dangerous emotional outburst, etc). This means when the monsters start approaching, they have to plead for Character B to let them go before they're caught/killed.

Bonus if B does attempt to rescue A, but ends up having to run, effectively condemning A to death/capture.

POV: You leave a hacker in a hot car

Summary:

After being kidnapped by Moose Boy and Otter Man, Player is left alone in the back of a van. And it's getting hotter by the minute.

Me: *organizes a fic playlist by chronological order of events*

Literally anyone: Oh my god... they're insane...

Devineaux: Where did you get twenty bucks? Player: What are you, a cop?
