OH MY FUCKING GOD NO- THEY DIDNT!! Jaskier Sadly Singing A Love Song Clearly Meant For/about Geralt,

OH MY FUCKING GOD NO- THEY DIDN’T!! Jaskier sadly singing a love song clearly meant for/about Geralt, after putting to bed the child of the man he loves. THEN RADOVID SHOWS UP?!! OMFG??

It was a really big missed opportunity to not explore! I thought that when we saw the abuse scene with him and his dad, they would point out how his dad is extremely racist (let’s be honest, he is). This would then lead to a deeper dive into Billy’s character, and how he was only being “racist” towards Lucas because he knew that Max would get hurt because of it. He needed to stop it before the news could get to his dad as if it didn’t matter if he saw it. But if his dad saw, he would also begin to abuse Max. Which was something he would not let happen to his little sister. This is coming from my own experiences as an older sibling, and what I already know about psychology (with it being my major). 

I think the thing that bothers me most about the racism storyline with Billy is that it’s handled so poorly, it centers Max so much, that it becomes a “not all white people” storyline. Lucas is incidental to it, really, because at the end his feelings about what happened aren’t even discussed. He never gets to talk about it. The white people “fixed” the racism for him and now it’s done forever and we never talk about it again. Only Max even knows what Billy said? Who makes a racism storyline where the whole point is to valorize white people? What kind of seventh heaven ass storyline is that?

And I understand at the end of that story not liking Billy. It couldn’t be me, because I want Billy to learn differently and be better to Lucas. I want an actual resolution. But I guess I understand if you just skate on the surface, thinking Max is good white person and Billy is Bad white person and not thinking beyond that. Because the story doesn’t ask you to.

HOLY SHIT THIS WAS SO GOOD!! MORE PEOPLE MUST SEE THIS!! <3

This is such a cool take on Flug's backstory, great job! <3

Villanos Headcanon:

Dr. Flug Slys was a child prodigy and quickly taken in by the local government to receive the best education to fuel his curious mind. He had access to so many books and lab materials. By the age of 12 he was already inventing small devices that could be used to help fight villians.

Flug, however, realized that morality held many geniuses back and tossed away the codes of ethics. He began doing his own tests, taking control of his own education in secret. He dissected animals and people, tested drugs he concocted. It was when he invented a true truth serum that he was finally found out.

He was sent to an asylum in hopes to help him so that he could still become the hero or heros’ assistant he was destined to be. Flug was smart, after all. He could learn to understand why ethics needed to be followed… But, it is not easy to keep a mind as genius as Flug’s locked up. He escaped, took on a new name, and hid until he found somewhere his genius wouldn’t be held back. His scientific freedom came in the form of the Black Hat Organization.

HE LEARNED THE SOONNNNGGGGG!!!!! RADOVID HEARD THAT ONCE!! NOW HE’S USING IT TO SERENADE JASKIER JUST AS HE DID TO HIM!!

“then take me here” AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

SO TRUE!!

Why Casino Cups Is a SUBVERSIVE MASTERPIECE

a character who has never met his biological parents and doesn’t give A SHIT, doesn’t have romantic subplot and is possibly aroace which is great representation (Cuphead)

a character that DOES want to meet his biological parents but has motives that actually make sense with his character, is very nice but has deep seated character flaws that drive him through his internal conflict (Mugman)

neither of these “never met their parents” cases have the cliche dramatic“I CaN neVEr BE a FuLFiLleD aNd cOmPLEte PerSOn uNLesS I knOW WhO gAvE BirTH tO mEEeeEe!” motive

the Devil and King Dice aren’t one-dimensional bad guys. They have done bad things but are far from irredeemable as characters and can’t really be pegged as hero or villain. They have heavy backstories, understandable motives, and even good intentions sometimes.

I’ve seen so many Cuphead fanfics that (given that the game takes place in the 1930s) make the characters and/or undertones sexist and homophobic to make it “historically accurate” but Casino Cups just throws all that bull shtick straight out the window. A character’s gender is never made relevant or even mentioned outside of other characters using their pronouns and it is bursting with queer representation which I am so freakin grateful for.

the themes it deals with about death and moving on in life are so unique and thought provoking for a Cuphead au. I have never seen anyone make this take on the cups and their relationship with the potion, especially not with Mugman.

the lore is an absolute GOLD MINE. All Bright’s theories and headcannons about why the isle is so full of magical creatures and people with crazy powers is so intuitive that even the tiniest details from the game like light shining out of the Devil’s neck or King Dice’s green eye animations can spout rich and in-depth backstory and something new and interesting about the characters or the worldbuilding that had never even crossed my mind before. It makes these characters and the world that they live in so fun to learn about as I read the comic and always leaves me wanting more of these looney tuney byatches.

just the right amount of shipping. Not too much, not too little. Just the right amount of shipping. Just the right amount of shipping. JUST👏THE👏RIGHT👏AMOUNT👏OF👏SHIPPING

i of course have to mention Bright’s BEAUTIFUL art style. Honestly when I first saw their drawings of the cups I was a tad bit skeptical of how different they looked from their original designs in the game, but overtime I’ve grown to adore how grown up they look and their sick color schemes and card aesthetics.

I love this series so freakin much and I’m so proud of what it’s grown into and how far this religious toon town has come over the years. I can’t wait to see more now that Camodiel is taking the reigns. Remember to pack your tea, coffee, and just a little bit of whiskey and look out for soul collecting demons! I’ll see you at the casino!
