What a beautiful family.

Also here's a doodle I made after Garten of Banban: Isle Rangers was announced ^^ I'm very excited for the game to release. I really enjoyed the demo.

I literally just saw the release trailer for this… ITS SO FREAKING CUUUTTTEEEE!!!!!

Ok so like. I think Bittergiggle should stay dead for emotional impact reasons... But I don't think he should BE dead according to in universe logic. Ykwim. Because fucking look at Banban?????? Dawg? Ok? And on top of all that, we've seen what happened to Dadadoo and Jumbo Josh and Opila Bird and so on. Bittergiggle literally survived a Toadstar earlier in the series he was completely chill and unaffected.

So we all know that like Syringeon is like THE guy who does the fixing up of the cases. He could probably have so easily brought Bittergiggle back but he... Didn't... There's no way that he doesn't know Bittergiggle is dead especially considering Toadster is basically working under him and Bittergiggle died in Cityngeon. So this leads to the next thing...

Is Syringeon keeping Bittergiggle dead?

If every other case (besides maybe Bouncelia) has sustained insane amounts of physical damage and survived, especially BANBAN who was straight up gored, and stayed alive (although we were under the impression that they were dead for a while) then why is Bittergiggle dead? And for what purpose would he need to do that?

Well... I think Syringeon is using the guilt from harming Bittergiggle (and maybe even Bouncelia) in order to manipulate him into doing his bidding and convince him that he needs to work for him in order to avenge him. He found Toadster at his worst and decided to use that to his advantage while withholding bringing back the people closest to him. On top of this Toadster naturally has a need to serve, and he worked as subservient to Banban for a while because of this, so Syringeon probably also used this as a way to get Toadster to lean onto Syringeon. He knows Toadster will do anything if he's convinced that it's justified, but Toadster doesn't have his own moral compass outside of a vague need to do good and carry out justice, making him the perfect unquestioning puppet of Syringeon's dictatorship.

Because of Syringeon's need for an unquestioning police actor, he uses Toadster's vulnerabilities (most notably his guilt) to seize this role. To lock it in he keeps Bittergiggle dead, his closest friend (lover in my head tho fr), and Bouncelia dead in order to make sure that Toadster has no one to serve but him and to essentially emotionally blackmail him

On top of him not being responsible for his checkups anymore, Sy just isn’t allowed to see Banban in general. And unfortunately for Sy, because of how busy he always is, he can’t go out of his way to break that one rule and visit his son in the upper levels. Banban is the one visiting him in the lower levels (even though he too isn’t allowed to go down there), and the only way he can even visit his father is to have one of the human employees take him down there with a set time limit for how long they can spend together.

But it’s not like Banban is visiting Sy because he wants to see his dad. No, he’s visiting because he views Sy as an old mentor that he rarely ever gets to see nowadays. Pretty much all the other Cases know Sy is Banban’s dad. Hell, Banban’s siblings (Banbaleena, Nabnab, Bittergiggle, and Truffletoot) still see Sy as being their father in some way. Not Banban, unfortunately. And Eleanor didn’t even know Sy was Banban’s father until she actually ended up meeting him! She only ever knew that this “doctor” was Banban’s childhood mentor, so it was a big shock to her when Sy told her he’s Banban’s father.
