On The Mischaracterization Of Norway, A Mini Character Analysis (because I Feel Like People Are Tired

on the mischaracterization of norway, a mini character analysis (because i feel like people are tired of me going 'oh, i like canon norway so much more than fanon!' without explaining myself)

before anyone starts barking at me, you can prefer fanon interpretations! that's 100% fine! the point of this post is to discuss what canon nor is actually like, because i feel like most people don't even know that there's a difference between canon and fanon

a) on seriousness

i feel like there's a big dissonance between the serious, solemn norway portrayed in fanon, and how he acts in canon! don't get me wrong, he can be serious, but he's also a silly guy! he has a sense of humour and he likes to tease and be kinda mischievous!

some examples from the manga that i feel show this! (there's a lot!! this is a recurring character trait!!)

b) on being cool (he's not) (not even a little bit)

point being that he's a loser and a weirdo and strange and awkward and shy and, unlike how i usually see him in the fandom, not suave at all :,) examples (image order is right to left):

c) on his relationship with other characters

this is gonna be a quick point because tbh it deserves its own post haha but 1) dennor like each other!!!! it baffles me that people act like they don't! norway teases him a lot but he clearly cares!

also a good place to add an explanation as to how nor uses the words "bro" and "brother"! hima has said that his use of the japanese "anko" is meant to resemble a regional japanese accent where the word is used how "bro" would be used to refer to a classmate or friend! it's not meant to be nor thinking of denmark as an actual brother

2) he and ice are silly together :) he calls him just to ask a single question and hangs up on him. he threw him a surprise birthday party right in the middle between their 2 birthdays! he's not just an overbearing older brother, he's genuinely warm toward him!!

How about instead of fighting each other, the six of you fight together against a common enemy?

Karamatsu: I know you aren’t a fighter, Choromatsu, which is why I’ll help you out! Unfortunately a song won’t work on him, so I’ll have to fight!

Choromatsu: Thank you, Karamatsu nii-san. I’ll need all the help I could get! Ah, Ichimatsu’s out already…I don’t think he’d be much help anyway.

Karamatsu: You’re the most evil villain out of you three, but we will defeat you…we are the heroes after all! Our passion will smite the darkness!

Todomatsu: That’s cute, Karamatsu nii-san and Choromatsu nii-san~.

Todomatsu: You really think that you can defeat me? This must be a joke…much like your fashion, Karamatsu nii-san~. With this power, I’m unstoppable!

Karamatsu: We can’t lose to evil like you! In no way will darkness ever triumph over the light! Let’s get him!

Choromatsu: We have to win, or else we’re dead, and everyone else in the world too!

Todomatsu: Hah!

Karamatsu and Choromatsu: !!!

Todomatsu: Instead of fighting eachother, we should fight together against a common enemy, huh? Well…I’m sure that all of you wanted to see us fight. Not fighting eachother would be boring, unsatisfying, and a waste of time! Now die~.

Karamatsu and Ichimatsu are such opposites even their assigned seasonal mascots are opposites.

Ichimatsu is for Christmas, cold, dark, and lethargic, while Karamatsu is for Summer, hot, blindingly bright, and energetic.

I wonder what's worse, a man dressed in a goth santa outfit on christmas,

Karamatsu And Ichimatsu Are Such Opposites Even Their Assigned Seasonal Mascots Are Opposites.

or a man in nothing but a sun mask and a speedo in the summer.

either way, this couple has had to encounter both of them during separate holidays.

How do Choro and Todo communicate with the others? Do they use sign language, or something else since Jyushi and Kara can't see?

Karamatsu: So… what did he write down Os-

Osomatsu: HE SAID YOU’RE UGLY AND ANNOYING! AND YOUR SENSE OF FASHION IS GARBAGE!

Karamatsu: I-IS THAT TRUE?? CHOROMATSU, WHY?

Choromatsu: !!??

Osomatsu: HEHE, BASED ON YOUR REACTION, YOU MUST’VE BELIEVED ME~~! HE’S SO MEAN, RIGHT?

Choromatsu: !!!!????

If I Had A Nickel For Every Time A Ninja Voiced By Ben Schwartz Tried To Sacrifice Themselves By Throwing

If I had a nickel for every time a ninja voiced by Ben Schwartz tried to sacrifice themselves by throwing themselves through a portal in order to stop a dangerous enemy & protect the people they care about, I’d have two nickels

Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice
