and ever and always

Maxwell Gotch is such pure distilled Murph character energy, I’m obsessed with him. Guy who is generally unpleasant in social situations and constantly puts his foot in his mouth because he is hounding for plot information, guy convinced he’s the sanest person in the room, guy who’s whimsy reserves are severely lacking, guy who is constantly, deservedly, bullied by all the other pcs, guy who lusts for blood in a distinctly wrestling manner, and guy who’s, quite frankly, a little gay with it. He’s like a cross between the three main Murph character archetypes of grizzled plothound with a distaste for shenanigans, big buff dude who’s two steps away from being a professional wrestler, and shithead asshole in their 20s

I am so so obsessed with Vanellope Chapman. She’s a grizzled old woman. She has a (cursed?) prosthetic arm with a range of ten feet. She grew up eating nothing but hardtack and salted beef. She looked into the ocean and saw the deep dark endless depths and panicked. She runs a pub called the Rusty Nut. Her husband is tiny and makes tons of aioli. She was so haunted by her past that she locked in and cracked a riddle just in time to help Marya guide them through the Biangle. She yelled at her husband and then wept over it. She has a pirate ancestor named Vanellope Antigone Persephone. She doesn’t know what sunscreen is.
