#[it's... complicated]

Uh...

A whim, I guess...

Ah the only shitty politics I'll ever talk about on this blog ✨racist newts✨

Speaking of newt politics...

Idk it's just...vague what Marcy exactly thinks of the system itself I just feel like I can't make a direct call on this, it's so left out open ended in the journal too. Plus all with how she values farmers as underappreciated backbones of society

I agree Marcy is the only competent person with a braincell in this government. I doubt how much she involves in them at all though. Surely theme song takeover shows she even writes royal verdicts while Andrias snoozes and all that

In tc her response to the toad rebellion is to 'redesign the political system' and make sure 'this kind of uprising never happens again.' Her first instinct is the approach she took for Wartwood, changing the political system overnight like fixing sewers, part of me wonders Marcy even has a clue why the rebellion happened to begin with. She doesn't know Andrias purposefully made things this way, she knows what Andrias lets her see. She has faith she talk him out of changing things.

Yet somehow there's still the ranger oath that tells her a newt's life should matter above the rest—

Should've been her first red flag if I were honest. She knows casteism exist she doesn't understand the problems of it bc the newts don't make it out to be. Let's admit, she's 13 freaking years old. The journal also shows she was actively being kept away from learning truths.

Toad to Redemption is one episode that talks about the oppression on toads by Newtopian authorities, and my biggest focus here that Marcy is still in Wartwood while this happens. Coincidentally, she's purposefully made busy in an outhouse with Frobo for this very episode. This is one of the weirdest things to me bc it's like the show itself is trying to keep her in the dark and short-sighted. Keep her from having reasons to question her faith in Andrias.

Another redraw, say hi to the twins! I took the opportunity to rename them to Richard and Renaud (good riddance Alair and Drystan).

Their characters are described as "death fanboys" with Richard (the grumpy one) wishing to end his meaningless existence and Renaud (the less grumpy one) wishing to end someone else's meaningless existence. Huh. So we have a suicidal grump and a murderous maniac.

I got to updating the lore doc for Project Zero and I do have to thank @oceandirtcountry for some of the inspiration because trust me, you are in for a wild ride. Now I cannot possibly include every single show as the main crew, or I'd simply combust and die but~

They will get some semblance of honorable mentions- whether that's through cameos, recognition through mentions from other characters, or anything in between, but honestly Project Zero is now a passion story of mine.

Also- just to keep track of things, more for all of you than for myself because I have this information stored in a whole ass google doc guide, here is a current list of mentioned shows;

Danny Phantom

Generator Rex

Kim Possible (not directly confirmed, but she is there-)
