happy purple explosion thursday

WOO it has been kinda a long since the last time I did one of these

School is RUINING my ideal schedule, and I've been focusing more on Murder Drones, animating, and falling back into the Omori brainrot.

But, without further ado, AvA/M shower thoughts.

I wanted to be one of the first people to post about this, being that this reveals a LOT.

In the actual short that came out today, Reuben got married and had a kid. This short as a whole made me smile, being that Purple was seen with the color group for the first time since AvM 30, and was just silly as a whole. But, I also remembered something from a previous short.

Bob is Always There is a short from a few months ago that theorists such as myself overanalyzed when it came out. It was pretty mysterious, being we didn't really know what had happened off screen and what would happen in the future. Well, does this picture remind you of anything?

That's right, I'm here to say that we can confirm when this short takes place, and that it's not just some fluff.

It's all apart of something bigger.

Alan Becker connected 2 shorts, but made it so it wasn't obvious. Everything after this point in Bob is Always There we can assume will happen at some point in either the main animations or the actual shorts. I'm not going to cover all of it, but I'm really excited to see Purple reappear in the color gang's website.

OKAY SO THIS IS HAPPENING

16 minutes till premiere I'm so excited!!!!!

Bad route

In defense of Victim: a character analysis

OK before I start

Yeah, I know. I'm a hypocrite lol but, hear me out here.

After really analysing everything Victim has done...I can't say they're actually that bad anymore. Their actions seem extreme but they're actually kind of justified.

First of all, let's look at what most the fandom hates them for. The fight with The Chosen One in The Box. It's hard to watch and they certainly went all out, but it's not like Chosen isn't a dangerous character. He was a villian himself after all.

Chosen and Dark's actions likely led to many sticks losing their homes on websites and getting hurt in the crossfire, even if he was trying to free them. At worst, these actions were deliberate, at least on Dark's part. And how would Victim know if Chosen actually wanted to do this?

And I wouldn't be surprised if Victim knows.

In episode 30 of avm, King sees the first Animation vs Minecraft on a rocket corp TV

And Second sees the first Animator vs Animation during Animation vs YouTube (maybe that's why he recognises them? Theory for another day)

So is it that much of a stretch to say that Victim is somewhat aware of Chosen's past? Especially since they have some kind of access to YouTube.

Obviously this is a bit of a stretch, if Victim had seen Animator Vs Animation V they wouldn't have needed to use the memory reader on Chosen. But they must have known something about him to know that he has a connection with Alan, so it's possible.

On a similar note, they treat Second very differently. Sure, he's a less powerful stick in their eyes so they don't pay much attention to him, but he's still treated with respect.

First of all, he's left unpaused in his cell, despite the fact they already had him paused, they chose to let him at least some freedom by undoing it.

Also, when he was put in a box, it was a lot less violent.

Even when they were testing his powers the employees just...asked him. It was not forceful in any way and no one laid a finger on him.

Even when he was captured they were being easy on him

Agent Smith had second selected,he could have done anything, but all he did was spin then kick him and pause him immediately after. He was hitting him as little as possible, just trying to end the fight.

Then there's the last scene if The Box, probably the most unjustified part. But, here's the thing, Victim only has bad memories of Alan. He hurt and then tried to kill them. I think they believe Yellow is some kind of conspirator with Alan, maybe a lackey of sorts? Whatever they think, I wouldn't be surprised if this is some kind of misunderstanding. They may even be sympathetic towards Dark after seeing him be attacked by the cursor too.

Obviously this doesn't mean they're in the right. They're really not. But their actions have some kind of justice about them, and I don't think they're trying to be evil, so they actually have a good chance of being redeemed. And I can understand them now, so I at least don't hate them anymore.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk. I'll go back to fanart now (this was super out of my comfort zone and not the best explanation but I just wanted to say it).

Face doodles:3

love when characters have to have a domestication arc before you can even consider giving them a redemption arc
