scarab is my quote "bitch wife" aka i've selfshipped with him for so long he's become my fp which is...not really a good thing but hey! shows he's very fundamental to my life.
guh where do i begin, scrabs is a very very interesting character in the way he is initially presented as a threat slowly gets broken down over the course of the show. i also like that he's not really well liked by most other cosmic entities, though we really only see him interacting with prismo and orbo..
he's REALLY petty and stuck up and i love that about him, like genuinley he is SUCH a prick about evreything that i kind of understand why orbo brushed him off when he was trying to explain the illegal shit prismo was doing, which holy shit i need to know what the fuck their beef is aside from scrab want time room he want power. but I also would not be upset if his grudge against the wishmaster was just that shallow.
he's just,,, an absolute masterpiece of a villain being so terrifying to our protags yet so EASILY THWARTED, like... wk trapped that bitch in ice and all he could do was yell about a bunch of empty threats at cake briefly [which like... he has telepathy i guess??] Scarab is a very "aesthetic first practicality next" type of guy, slowly taking his time hunting them down and being theatrical when he finally found them in farmworld, [only to be flung by Finn like that bitch weighed nothing.]
and i just,,,, i love the duality of his nature between this regal, clean, poise creature he tries to make himself out to be and the screaming little idiot he really is underneath, i've gone off about it before but i am in love with his character design [as well as everything else about him..] and it shows his duality so so perfectly even if his anatomy is hard to understand at times he gets a pass for being a shapeshifter.
Its just so comical to me this arguably scary guy that you do not want to be a target of is also just .. this very disliked dude by all his co-workers, like he’s,,, he;s just a bitch that's the best way i can put it, he is a very egotistical freak who is very dedicated to his job to the point of arresting people for arguably minor offenses… please don’t tell my wife that i pirate shows..
I also think its interesting he relies on his crystal despite displaying extreme feats of strength [collapsed a building just via slamming his body into it, grabbing a huge chunk of pavement, ect..] i mean it makes sense as its a multitool and needed to complete his job [which i could go on a whole other rant about how his crystal is so interesting in itself as a piece of tech] but it's so interesting as he displays some very interesting combat like..he could kick people's asses very easily but he’s too focused on theatrics, like he’s so desperate to be menacing.. Also his mask being a voice changer,,,, is so adorable bros out here with that shrimp voice and lowering the pitch for his rantsona.
I only got to experience scarab the god auditor for 23 minutes and 53 seconds. But oh my god did he captivate me, i need to shake this guy around and bite him a little bit, my fictoromantic ass is so in love with him but in the same way that i put my head in my talons and groan, i used to be like a big big scarab apologist and in some ways i still am but ive rewatched his screen time in particular so many times that i just…as much as i love him i GET why his co-workers absolutely hate him. Despite all that he is my wife and i love him very much, this has been my ted talk and like and subscribe
