Thank you @darkmoorish for handing me the mic 🎤, I’m dying to ramble over here (Also, btw, I’m loving how much Darkmoor love is on tumblr. Huge Ygor fan, over here 💖).

I’ve only been to Pizza Moon twice, but give me non-IP characters and suddenly I need to know everything about them. And there are a TON of characters in Pizza Moon.

Starting with the most boggling, named character, let’s look at Pizzaiolo, the alleged Duke of Cheese.

He can be found in (3?) different places at Pizza Moon:

1) His poster on the outside of the building, naming him and his title:

2) The third screen along the left wall where you wait to be seated. He pops out of a crater and accidentally grates the cheese he’s holding with his flying device:

3) This is the weird one. He might be the guy swinging back and forth if you look up to the right upon entering:

WHO IS THIS GUY???? Because they’re really not the same man. Nicknaming him the “Swinging Duke.”

Though I’m forced to say they are, because all the elements that make him the Duke of Cheese are here:

Mustache

Striped tights and booties

Pizza slice bib

Wooden flying contraption

Holding wedge of cheese

Holding cheese grater

Cape (though one has a red cape, the other green)

So what’s the theory?

I have to go with the Duke in 2/3 places as THE real Duke.

But that said, what’s up with the different Duke designs?

1) Maybe the “real” Duke is a usurper; the Swinging Duke was originally the Duke until this winking one muscled in.

2) or the Swinging Duke is the usurper. Idk it could go either way. He might be inching his way in, moments away from getting those posters replaced with HIS image.

3) Or this is a Star Wars situation. Maybe the Swinging Duke is the decoy—the Amidala decoy that is posing as the real Duke to fool the diners, while the real Duke goofs off in craters.

Kir-ppino!
