I Dont Know If It Was You Or Someone Else Who Compared Mammon And His Behaviors To Calvin Fischoeder

I don’t know if it was you or someone else who compared Mammon and his behaviors to Calvin Fischoeder from Bob’s Burgers, but I think about that frequently and can imagine Mammon pulling a number of Mr. Fischoeder’s antics. Since it’s the holiday season, I also feel that the Sins would get together and recreate the plot of the episode Last Gingerbread House on the Left. It could just be me, but I can honestly picture the Sins getting together to celebrate Sinsmas together, only for it to descend into complete chaos over something as trivial as making gingerbread houses.

I think I first compared them in an ask to @pinkandpurple360 , but funnily enough, Mam isn't the first character I've compared to Calvin.

I'm not sure if I just thought about this or actually posted it somewhere, but ever since he was introduced, I've seen Andre as the Calvin to Stella's Felix. There's a good number of Fischoeder brothers moments that work well with them, with just a little tweaking. Some examples:

----

Andre (talking to a servant): My father left all this to me, the palace, all these artifacts. I still can't tell if it was a joke.

Stella: *cough* Should've been me.

Andre: Oh, THAT would've been fun!

----

(during the gingerbread house scene)

Andre: Well, if everyone else is doing it. *pulls out blessed handgun*

Stella: *also pulls out a blessed gun*

Andre: Don't you pull a gun, Stella. We're having a moment here.

Stella: You think you're so great, Andy, just because mother laid you before me!

Noone going with the Ferryman in The Lonely Way was not supposed to be a triumphant middle finger to Otto, but a way to show how manipulative the Ferryman truly is.

RCG will likely have no further significance in the franchise.

VLN does the best possible job of emulating the feel of the main games within the confines of it's art and gameplay styles.

The Tosher is and underrated monster in terms of design, gimmick and personality. Jord knocked it out of the park.

Though I hope I'm wrong, I don't think the North Wind will be re-canonized.

I refuse to take a concrete stance on Six's morality

The Hideaway isn't a very good chapter.

What little nightmares opinion that will have you like this?

While I fully support the Golden Goose ship and am happy about how many people support it's functionality as well, one thing did catch my attention: no one really talks about why these two would like each other and why they are so perfect together. This aspect is simply taken for granted. It feels so right yet it's so hard to articulate WHY it works. So, maybe you'd use your writing talent to elaborate on that? :)

I've been pondering this for a while and I have indeed found it extremely hard to properly articulate.

If I had to narrow it down, though, I would say it's that they both have bombastic personalities, by nature and as a result of their lives up until this point.

Stella was only born to eventually become a wife and mother, and the man she was forced to marry fucked it all up for her. No one's ever valued Stella as just Stella, it's always been about some role.

Mammon, on the other hand, sees everything through the lens of value, meaning he already has a rather small dating pool. Not to mention the prospect of gold-diggers and centuries of being married to the job.

Their chemistry comes from the fact that Stella feels like someone whose presence Mam would enjoy and who he could trust to not just be after his wallet and actually be interested in him. While Mammon having fun with Stella and genuinely wanting to spend time with her would do wonders for her self-worth.

As I've said in an earlier post, they deserve better and they deserve it with each other. The very premises of their characters essentially entitle them to nuance that the writing denies them, and even then, they're both still awesome and rightfully popular in the fandom.

I would love to do a Golden Goose fic, but I've yet to make an ao3 account despite deciding to do so over 3 months ago. The earliest I could see myself finishing a hypothetical chapter 1 would be mid-to-late January, time is a bit tight for me at the moment.

O yeah I know it's been a couple months but since I reblogged the post again:

0, 1, and 9 for Kevin

3, 5, and 8 for Roy

Kevin

----

0- The background changes for his nervous breakdowns, art style shifts are always a pleasant surprise to me, especially when their associated with a specific character.

1- It's simple but effective. He manages to have the vibe of someone who (when Skid and Pump aren't around) generally enjoys his job without really being passionate about it. And I just plain love his little floof.

9- This poor bastard needs someone in his life and given who he's usually shipped with, I'd say their pretty good. The only one I take issue with is him and Lila since Kevin feels like a guy in his mid twenties, roughly ten years younger than Lila.

----

Roy (thank you so much for asking about him, I have so much brainrot of him)

----

3- The scene with his parents and him then giving the candy to Rob for his sister. It just does so much for all the characters and is the first major scene for Roy's arc, it's also more wholesome than a lot of the "individual" scene endings in both TT and past episodes.

5- Like Pump, he has some residual effects left over from his encounter with Eyes making him sensitive to supernatural energy. We might see this in a scene where Carmen and Richard come home from a "late meeting".

8- Roy's sensitive about his weight but in a very complex way. He was picked on for it when he was little, but Carmen would always console him, having been a heavier kid herself. The only issue is the same assurances also came from *you know who*, which left Roy feeling very conflicted. If someone makes a dig at him over it he would usually stand up for himself, but for a while after The Stars he would just kind of glaze over while Ross and Robert whooped a bitch.

Happy to see this game resurrecting.

That and Stella and Mammon getting together, Mam and Via's love and support giving Stella the confidence to take Stol-ass to task. He, of course, can't make any legitimate counterpoints and loses everything.

I can think of no better punishment for a scumbag who lords his power over others while painting himself as powerless, than for two of his victims to transcend him in status and leave him genuinely powerless to avoid the consequences of his own shitty actions.

For me Mammons mid season musical special is the peak of the show and the finale for me. After this point it’s all downhill. I like to think Ozzie gifts Blitzø a crystal offscreen and sets him free.

The end

What do you mean "can be"? Stella IS a more tragic character than 🦉 and honestly, I feel comfortable saying that any other writer in the indie animation industry would recognize and acknowledge that.

I can't find the post where you said it, but I remember a joke you made where you said Blitz's first word was "Stolas", but just you watch, we'll eventually get a flashback of kid!Blitz sleeping, cuddled up with an owl plushie. (Of course with Fizz nowhere to be seen)

On a side note, I have a theory about Stella, she only exists because it was discovered that Andre wouldn't be able to have kids, hence why Stella was conceived. This also fits with the common assumption that Andre is roughly 10/11 years older, as it would be around that time that any developmental issues with hormones/reproduction would start surfacing. Andrealphus would be their parents' heir, while Stella would be the kid that gets married off. As if her life wasn't already miserable enough, Stella may be living with the knowledge that she's just a way to make up for her brother's "inadequacy" :(

Ugh. Stop. So gross.

That’s really devastating actually…Stella can easily be a more tragic character than stolas could ever be
