I was gushing to a friend of mine about how much I love Ludwig as a character - you know, as you do - and I thought maybe you guys might like to see it too.
He has the Captain Kirk paradox. Somebody on the Star Trek side of tumblr put it into words once: The Original Series Captain Kirk is somehow able to express large amounts of both masculine and feminine qualities, simultaneously, and not a single bit of it seems weird or out of place for him.
I see Ludwig the same way. He expresses his emotions really freely even in canon - I probably exaggerate it a little bit, but they must have made his face as flexible as they did for a reason. In my experience, none of the other mercs even come CLOSE to the detail of micro-expressions that can be put on him. He was specifically designed to be highly emotional.
Even with this high degree of emotion, he still manages to be masculine as hell in many shots, AND YET, you can look at those very same shots and still think 'babygirl you are a hot mess' completely unironically.
Despite being described simply as a 'mad scientist' or 'mad doctor', Ludwig is a remarkably deep character who is so far detached from gender norms that even observers who are looking for specific masculine or feminine qualities can't really nail them down completely, because he's never not expressing both types of energy.
In conclusion: Once again, it's 4AM, I am Not Okay™️ about that old man, and thank you for coming to my TED talk.
The fact that Rise gave Splinter not one but TWO love interests will never not be funny to me.
Forgot to post on Tumblr again oopsie-
⚠️ Please do not repost without permission/credit I worked hard on this :(
The amount of layers was insane, it's my first time making a vid like this.
Found the audio on tik tok and thought it would fit him lmao
Some cute Malleus facts from the Pajama Bday vignette:
He loiters everywhere but thinks Ramshackle really is unmatched. He's a bit disappointed he can't go there in the dead of night.
He reviews the day's lessons every night.
He talks to his gargoyles lmfao
The dragon statue in his room is a gargoyle of his own creation and is his masterpiece.
He lights up an incense that smells like the forest and makes him feel like he's back home.
He goes around the school to take gargoyles back to his clubroom to do repair work on them for free.
He writes in the school feedback that they should reinforce the floors strong enough to withstand 50 gargoyles.
It's hard for him to wake up in the morning because he's a nocturnal fae.
He has a very efficient morning routine because he uses magic to do everything at the same time, but he loses track of time when he has to choose what color he wants his makeup to be.
Although black is his preferred color because it's Briar Valley's symbol of nobility, he doesn't shy away at the idea of using red lipstick because the Thorn Fairy prefers that for herself, or violet just to be different.
He yawns loudly, but worries that his grandmother would scold him if he lets himself be seen in that kind of state.
Generally, the confirmation we got really is that he's not just "a natural" where everything just goes perfectly for him. He puts great effort behind the scenes, not just in his hobbies but also in academics and his appearance as well.
This really did a lot to present him to us as someone relatable and works hard behind his perfect persona!
muriel brings a real “i’m on it boss *fucks up immediately*” energy to good omens i didn’t know i was missing
the issue that provoked this stream needing to be made was that dream used a slur and needed to address it, instead he went live for 3 hours adressing the following topics.
-quackity
-how tommy is on his knees for quackity
- how tommy is a fake friend and hates quackity
-trump and how he’s a trumpie
-tommy was close with bad people like logan paul and w*lbur when he was 16 so he must be bad cause people cant change
-he’s not weird for messaging tommy’s mom and that’s totally normal
-quackity
-he’s not gay
-aimsey is an evil mastermind and is trying to get dream and george cancelled
-he’s an evil racist pedophile who made everyone sign ndas (that’s what everyone wants him to be apparently)
-quackity
-jack is cheating on ellie (rumor has it)
-there’s rumors about tubbo but he can’t say them

-harry is an idiot and only hates him because he quote tweeted him four years ago
-quackity
-people were sharing porn with minors in his discord but it’s okay because they asked everyone to not treat them differently

-tommy is manipulating everyone and is actually evil but no he’s not he’s not a bad guy he’s just the worst
things he didn’t address:
-the r slur
i’m so tempted to make a short series of writings on some platonic gen z teenager (tav/reader) playing bg3 getting stuck inside the game and just producing to bullshit their way through it with just a sliver of sanity
