(About dsmp character not CC’s)

I think pumpkinduo is a tragic story in that Quackity would have been exactly what Schlatt needed. Quackity is sure of himself, enthusiastic, he has a strong moral compass, and he has endless love and support to give those he cares about. But Schlatt refused to show any vulnerability and ask for help, he blocked out everything Quackity could have offered him in place of antagonizing and dismissing him. He took the option of being vulnerable as an insult, any question of his actions to be a direct attack that couldn’t have possibly come out of a place of loving concern.

And Quackity both then and as his story went on was always looking for someone he loved and loved him back. If feels like he knew what he was attempting to do was hopeless the whole time, yet still held out hope until it became glaringly obvious if he kept it up he’d continue to be on the wrong side of history. The way he spoke to Schlatt in their last confrontation always felt off to me. It feels to me like he hasn’t fully accepted they’re going to kill Schlatt yet. That he’s trying to, if not attempt to safe him one last time, just prove he did in fact care about him.

he joined the server for a daytrip, ready to teach some kids about money. he was promptly banned, showing he wasn't welcome. the day he comes back, he runs for president. after he wins, he makes manberg as unwelcoming to the server, as the server was to him

this, of course, isn't a very good way to run a country. the stress of making them pay for what they've done weighed on him, and he turned to drinking. this was his slow way of finding his death. the only welcome he still had, was death's cool hands. he didn't know how to run a country, but he ran a damn good business back in the day. he ran manberg like a business, downsizing when he needed it, and in the end, it was just him.

dying in a drug van, as unwelcome as ever.

he stays in his gym because even in death he was hated. his body was eaten, his funeral a joke.
