back to your regularly scheduled tntduo symbolism overanalyzing: we’re talking about the quote “he’s my yang.”
wilbur says this about quackity, after minutes of shouting at him and taking a deep breath. he has the realization that, no matter how different they are- one can’t exist nor truly thrive without the other; whether you take that in a platonic, romantic or competitive context.
now into the usage of yin and yang:
he says quackity is his yang, and he’s absolutely right. in chinese culture, yang is the “sunny side of the mountain.” quackity is always in the spotlight, his loud exclamations of “FELLAS!” commanding everyone’s attention. he thrives there- both as protagonist and antagonist. big, flashing, shining lights and the demanding warmth of the desert. yang is the more “masculine” energy, in the way that it’s more domineering and extroverted. in astrology, yang energy also embodies fire & air signs- fire being charismatic and action-oriented, while air being sociable & logical; basically everything quackity is. his tactics blend all of these qualities, making friends with people and using facts and logic to pull them into his scheme.
that makes wilbur his yin. yin is the “shady side of the mountain.” wilbur is reserved and heavily guarded. shadows and hiding. as an antagonist, he thrives in secrets- where he can keep his plans close to his chest (hamilton reference pog). as a protagonist, he does his best when he’s level-headed and practical, which is why it’s no question that his villainous spiral was based on such powerful, overwhelming emotion. yin rules your emotions, your feelings, your heart. yin energy encapsulates earth and water signs- earth being pragmatic and stubborn while water being emotional and intuitive. everything wilbur does is based on his personal beliefs and emotions. his heart, whether shriveled and black or confused and un-beating or blaring red, is in the driver’s seat of his body. his tactics are based on emotion too, while quackity uses facts and logic to manipulate people, wilbur uses his emotions and beliefs to.
yin and yang are forever intertwined. one can’t exist without the other, or else one would send the world into utter chaos, the other into utter sorrow. in this case, as rivals, they can’t enact grand plans without the other doing the same. 9 months ago, running against each other as president, and now, building land right across from each other. if they were to work together, for better or worse, they would reach peak perfection. together, they can destroy the entire server. together, they can learn to heal. together, they can bring out the worst and best in each other.
they need each other.
so, with this in mind, as the story continues, wherever quackity is; expect wilbur to be not far behind, even if he’s just peering from the shadows.
