lil fresh fanart
let me state something, i never cared about fresh all that much, to me he just didn't have it in him y know? i never knew his character all that much, to me he was just a parasite that possesses people and was a 90's joke, but was really smart and could manipulate people to do his biting, that's all there was to him, to me fresh was always just a joke character that reused their joke a billion times, which in my opinion was never a funny joke to begin with. idk to me, out of CQ's kids, fresh felt like the weaker character, i always saw him as kinda bland and that anything he did bring to the table, error already had but 20x better, error was silly, he was goofy, he was a bit of a dumbass, he is kind of a shitpost after all, but could be scary when the time asked for it. he had a cool backstory and lots of angst potential, he was a CHARACTER, all stuff that i never thought fresh had. yeah he has that thing were he can't feel emotions but like... that was never enough for me, heck killer has that as well and he was so much more interesting and fun to think about and make comics of. and the fact that all the interactions i had with this character were from Underverse (of which half the time I had no idea wtf he was saying) defiantly didn't help his case. a couple weeks ago I stumbled upon an 1 hour video about underfresh, and without much to watch i decided to check it out. and HOLY FUCK HOLIUS GUACAMOLIUS HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS fresh was so much more than i could have ever imagined, and i could not be happier.
ladies and gentleman, love ball. fresh had no character besides being a walking joke? well actually he put on a facade of wanting to make everyone fresh like him so there would be no more violence, but in actually that was just a lie he told himself but in truth he just likes being in control, as he starts to control all the people that thought they were his new friends. but then he ends up finding out about the reality of the world he lives in and what his life means and starts having a complete mental breakdown which he has no idea how to deal, with not only cause of the revelation itself but because he never HAD a mental breakdown before. and then there was underveil which is basically loveball part two. where huge shenanigans happen, so much drama. and fresh finds out he is developing emotions and forms attachment to pacifrisk, coming so far as to GOING AGAINST HIS OWN INSTINCS AS A PARASITE, just to protect them. and like, the thought of a supposedly emotionless parasite slowly developing the ability to feel stuff for others, all while having to deal with the fact that his life is tied to god like beings that can replace him if he "grows too boring" and that he is nothing more than a toy that can be discarded at any moment, is such a fun concept in my opinion. in the same video it mentions how CQ thought most if not all people got his character completely wrong she says one of the people who did get it right was @alainaprana in her comic CQ momma, and i decided to check it out and like- i never understood the concept of taking characters and putting them in normal day to day situations, its not that the comic is bad it just isn't for me yknow? (especially chapter 6) but i will admit there were some panels that got me rolling, i was dying. but bro, watching that shit all i could think was, "what is this aspd representation that is in my screen rn?" bud did NOT have the right to have this good aspd rep, and it makes me so mad
because i want a full comic on this guy, and i know i'm not getting one, because CQ left the community, and i wanted to see fresh and his cool personality interacting with the utmv characters, and i know i'm never getting that, because half the fandom thinks he's just a manipulating joke character. and i can't do it either, cause i can't write to save my life. and it is pissing me off- here's the video btw, I'd recommend you check it out
not only is it really good, this video did the impossible, it made fresh's 90's joke style grow on me. i never thought i'd type that, but it's true. the CQ momma comic version of fresh (which is the most accurate) is much more contained than most versions i see, and i can shockingly understand what he's saying. so it's kinda in this weird stop that i don't think he's particularly funny but his personality is so memorable and fun and it goes along with the other characters so well i couldn't help but come to enjoy it. so yeah, fresh is really nice, i don't think i'm gonna be able to do all that many comics about him in the near future, he's so complex of a character i don't know how to depict him, even in a comedic sense (it is normal to mischaracterize characters a little bit to make jokes but i have no idea how to do that with fresh lol) but he defiantly grew on me. what can i say? CQ is a genius. I'm convinced this woman couldn't write a bad story even if she tried.
