holy trinity
i dont even know what this means but its really funny so i had to make it
Do you have any canon facts about Fresh? You seem like you know about him a lot so I wanted to ask :')
Sure! If you'd like to know something specific you can ask, but here's some commonly misunderstood aspects of his character.
He doesn't kill his hosts. He leaves them in a weakened state when he's done with them but their soul can recover over time. it's possible for them to get possessed by him again.
He talks using his host. He doesn't have his own voice and as a parasite separate from a host he can't talk, so his voice will only sound like his host's with a different tone. Though it's totally possible but not confirmed that he has a way of mentally talking to his host, it is confirmed that he can hear his host mentally. (He can hear his host in their mind so maybe they can hear him?)
Fresh isn't a disease, a virus, or an infection. He's a heckin parasite, he can only possess one person at a time. He has to physically go into a body and control it. His host's personality doesn't change him at all unless he's trying to pretend to be them, because he has full control. The host can fight his control to do things but this is incredibly painful and can damage their soul significantly more.
Fresh can't feel most things. Fresh lacks most emotions, he can't form emotional connections to people at all. The only things he can feel is fear, a tiny hint of sadism(Meaning seeing people in pain or distress brings him joy), and rarely anger over things he doesn't understand. The fear of death is a natural instinct, as a living creature he wants to survive and continue to live. His joy in suffering of others is a learned feeling, because his entire existence is causing pain, over time his mind has formed a connection, other's pain = his gain, his gain = his survival, him surviving = him feeling content. (His sadism is a very small and muted happiness, it'd be barely amusement to someone with a full range of emotions, but to him it's everything because it's the only way he feels good) The anger over things he doesn't understand was only canonically triggered by one thing, and it was someone sacrificing their life to save someone else. He was so angry someone would do that, because everything he knows is survival, and throwing your own life away is infuriatingly stupid to him, it's too different from his core understanding of life (this only happens when he starts to unlock more emotions like companionship tho).
Fresh is an asexually reproducing parasite. He has no idea of romance, sex, or even the complexities of gender. He doesn't understand love, or any of that. He's physically incapable of basically anything sexual. He does asexually create other parasites tho, he can do this intentionally as seen during Freshmageddon, where he spent three days making more parasites. He will do some things seen as romantic, like kissing, because he doesn't understand the romantic connection and finds the reactions people have funny
Fresh feels everything physical his host body feels. I see stuff in the fandom all the time where Fresh possesses a host and gets them severely injured but doesn't care… This is the opposite of accurate. Fresh can feel everything his host feels physically, but to a lesser extent… and I'd think pain/injury freaks him out because it'd remind him of his fear of death. I don't think he can feel damage inflicted to their soul though, because otherwise possessing people and damaging their soul over time would really suck!
Sometime I'll make a Fresh doc exploring all the aspects of his character with all the source posts from CQ to back it up :]
the deflection being front and center with the apology being a faded reflection AUUUUUUUGGHHH
SLAMMING MY FIST INTO THE FLOOR. THIS IS SO GOOD.
"In another life"
"Why not this one?"
I personally don't like this piece because of the anatomy and prespective issues (my biggest weakness) but Im too lazy to go back and fix it lol What's done is done.
my costume from last night hehe (didn't get to finish drawin some of the details on but thats ok! I had places to be)
I tried to combine elements of the reluctant follower mask, Vanny's suit, and the security mask. hehehe. the eyes are red with purple pulsing through them btw, I dunno if the color comes through well in the video
i also added a lil yellow rabbit whispering in her ear. isnt he cute ?
this is probably the second cosplay ive made significant parts of by myself so im proud
Thank you Fresh (character by loverofpiggies)... For teaching me that 'romantic gestures' don't have to have an emotional connection or inherently romantic intention behind them, and can be done towards friends and acquaintances as a showing of simple closeness/affection or just because it's fun to do/fun to see how someone else feels about it.
Genuinely the concept of this character has helped me work through some stuff with how I feel about and engage with romance and that's so funny. Thank you, you weird weird little queerplatonic-esque critter.
This might be my favorite post on this website ever
they slapped together underverse, fnaf, and jojo those are my three favorite things excluding Amphibia. and the animation is genuinely good for what it is LMAO I love the ear wiggles
I made an animation recently here it is
Glitchtrap hath become Catholic
out of context shenanigans
that Neil mashup is just what it feels like to be infected with a Fresh Parasite I think. like, the hand POV makes you feel sort of restrained, in the same way you're strapped into a rollercoaster; it's disorienting, slightly off-putting, and might give you a little bit of motion sickness, but it's still a BOP. it's a good time! and so genuine in its weirdness that even the traces of eeriness (ie the way the hand lurches around) can be brushed off because it's just part of the goof. we are movin we are schmoovin. and also we have contracted toxoplasmosis
HAHAHAHA EXACTLY I LOVE THIS ASK I've totally had that dream before.
WAIT TOXOPLASMOSIS?? THAT'S HILARIOUS
Though to be fair canonically Fresh possession is REALLY PAINFUL cus he's literally DRAINING your soul, and it starts cracking over time which must HUUURRTT. I'd think it'd feel like some aching heart pain even at the least intensity, not fun!
But yeah Aaron by Neil Cicierega is totally on my Fresh playlist. Sometime I'll make a video of my Fresh playlist to share with tumblr. >B)
This idiot has existed for 5 years
