Sad Due To The Vintage Update.Have Some Player Headcanons To Cheer You Up! Or Make You Feel Worse.Player

Sad due to the Vintage Update. Have some Player Headcanons to cheer you up! Or make you feel worse. Player is constantly smiling. No matter what situation. They could literally be facing the dark void that can swallow them whole and they'd still be smiling. Just... terrified smiling. Connecting it to the first hc, Player's mom is also constantly smiling. It's like a genetic thing. She is always smiling like Player as Player got this trait from her. Player doesn't like being in the spotlight unless it's important such as with Zavier. Otherwise, they'll have to be directly pushed to the role if you want them to do anything. Player is neurodivergent coded, like they have a rubix cube in their room. Their bed is covered in purple and stars. Like it's too good. Again, Headcanon. Adding onto the neurodivergent hc, Player doesn't like to speak with most people unless to give a specific answer or it's with people they're close to or like. So like Quincy, Suzie and TJ. They are friends with Player in their eyes. Player is nice. Like aggressively nice. They are so nice you can't hate them. You just can't hate them. They are too silly to be hated. That's probably why the universe loves them so much, they are so silly. Player looks occasionally at the fourth wall after something obvious is said, like they're in a TV show. Like "Do you see this guy?" kind of stare. And last hc, Player pulls out some kind of portable game console everytime we aren't looking. Something in universe like DoodleBoy or DoodleSwitch. They are a gamer, so they like to game.

Y'know with how I am known across platforms for my Doodle World stuff. Just showed up out of nowhere and helped keep the Subreddit and the Archives alive. My lore is that I crashed upon the fandom like an alien ship. Me arriving in the DW fandom:

My writer friends can confirm @dragonroar87 @gromicidaltomfoolery They saw more fics in less than a week during that first bit when I first joined.

Imagining that Teneson was the one having to take Portia to get new stuff like a dad would, making up for Lucas not being there, yet he sucks at that. He sucks as a dad. He sucks a dad. Teneson: Alright Portia, you ready to get some new notebooks and protractors and slacks? Portia: I want blue jeans... Teneson: You're getting SLACKS.

Nightmare! Somniere concept. I have this concept for Nightmare! Somniere. (The form of Somniere where you have Negative Karma) Basically Nightmare! Somniere takes the form of Thalassophobia. It's based on the feelings you have when you have nightmares. It feels like your drowning, like you can't breathe, like you feel like you are in constant danger due to the fact you can't see anything and therefore cannot verify yourself as safe. You feel helpless, powerless to do anything but just hopelessly flail around. And Thalassophobia is deep in dark bodies of water, fitting for Nightmare! Somniere as... it's dark. And I like to think that Player has Thalassophobia since they don't step into deeper waters than a foot. So that just makes things much worse for Player. But they must overcome their fear if they wish to save the island and stop the endless cycle of war.

I feel like the reason why people ship Suzie with a lot of characters in Doodle World, such as with Portia and Quincy, is because she's the only character that's actually emotionally and mentally stable. (Long Post, Rambling) For Portia, she came from an upbringing where she lost her mom and her father ran away, any semblance of connection had been severed, disjointed or not really that well established. The only two people that she cares about is Ellen and Quincy, she is so starved for connection that she is willing to look past Quincy blatantly disregarding her and calling her annoying, for a chance to be his friend. And with Suzie, she doesn't have to try too hard of impressing her or anything. She can just be herself and hang out with her. She is so often viewed as an executive that she doesn't get to be herself, people view her as "Rebecca's daughter" or just a worse version of Rebecca. With her friends, she actually gets to be her own person, her own legacy. She gives me Steven Universe vibes by the way she has a hard time living up to her mother's shadow. Now with Quincy it's a bit different, at least for me. (Omg rare Richcandy shipper here!!1!) Quincy is a rich snobby kid at the start of the story, but as time goes on, he learns and grows. His dynamic with Suzie is one where he gets more and more comfortable of letting himself be... himself like with Portia. We know he can be kind through his actions rather than his words, and with Suzie, it brings out those aspects even more. Suzie is someone who wouldn't judge or care about status, she came from von Sweetsville after all, the hood. Which is why she's so great as an option with Quincy. (I'm a sucker for the trope of rich snob being with the poor yet sweet character, it's too good)

Actually, looking into Zavier and Player's parallels and how they reflect off one another. Like- Okay so I'm going to just ramble some nonsense. Zavier is this like person who only cares about the end goal, a person who doesn't care who he hurts or who gets hurt. Or that's what it looks like. As much as Zavier threatens and says he'll hurt people, he actually hasn't done that. He hasn't actually hurt anyone. He has yet to kill or injure anyone. Contrast that with Player who does care about the people around them. (At least in the Good Karma route). Since if you look at it, if they were like Zavier and didn't care about anything leading up to the end. Why should they go out of their way to do things for strangers if it doesn't benefit them in the long run? Player (In Good Karma route) does it anyway, purely because they want to help people. That's in stark contrast to Zavier. Who doesn't do much, instead keeps talking on and on about how he'll change things and how he's the savior of the island. Yet he hasn't helped anyone and has only caused problems. Zavier and Player are meant to be reflections of one another. One ideal to another. Player is all bite and no bark. While Zavier is all bark and no bite. (Lol bark and bite are actually moves in Doodle World)
