Whb characters with a Mc that has a plushie collection
(I wrote this with Pokémon plushies in mind, but it could be anything)
Gamigin
"That's so cool!"
He's also a collector
Anything his brothers give him, he keeps in his room and cherishes forever
That's why nobody gives him food
He wants to learn the backstory behind each of them.
Would beg you to let him name one of them
Calls it by your name because it's cute like you
If you're hospitalised in Paradise Lost he'll grab you as many plushies as he can carry
Anything to make you comfortable
Mammon
"Awww"
Of all the things to be greedy for, plushies wasn't on his list
But he's not one to complain
Would make sure you get any plushies you want and then some
He makes custom plushies of him and you holding hands. He has a copy of it in his room on his desk
He needs to introduce you to Eligos, you two would become fast friends
Lucifer
He prays that you don't show this to Gamigin because he doesn't have the space, budget or nerves to have to deal with this
He finds it quite cute but still a bit weird
You, the child of Solomon, known for how obscene you are, have a collection of plushies?
Really?
To each their own
He knits in his free time, so he'll make you a plushie of a snake and gift it to you
You better like it or he'll... not really do anything, but he'll be quite sad
Leviathan
He glares at all the plushies
He'll criticise you for doing something so childish, but he secretly enjoys it
Would steal one of your plushies and keep it around for "research"
He grows very fond of it and he'll refuse to give it back
If you spend too much time with a plushie, he'll hang it. And when he's alone he'll punch it and give a villain speech about how the plushie is liveless and can't please you like he does
Please record that and bring it up whenever he tries to act all high and mighty about how he doesn't really care about you
Barbatos
He takes the plushies out to sunbathe with him
Chooses a plushies and calls it your son
He'll now start taking care of it like it was your actual child
Sends you messages while you're away asking how your son is doing
He's basicly the vine with "I want to see my little boy"
Takes it with him everywhere
No, he knows it's not his actual spawn, he just finds it funny to pretent

Not to be all "back in the day everything was better" but I watched Spaceballs yesterday and it struck me that something like the opening scene of that movie just... wouldn't be done now. Right? A visual gag that goes on for one and a half minutes? Way too long. I'm pretty sure the worry would be that nobody's got the patience for that, people would give up and watch something else.
And it's the opening scene. The first thing you see after the opening crawl is this dumb gag that takes one and a half minutes - and the fact that it takes so long is part of the joke.
It's something I've noticed with a lot of movies over the past few years, that they just don't take time for anything. Everything's moving and changing constantly. It struck me in the last GotG movie. Characters are having emotional important conversations while doing action-heavy things because we don't want the audience getting bored. There aren't any "filler" episodes in TV shows either.
I've seen people talk about the impact of this on character development etc but I think it's more than that. It makes the whole movie less memorable to me because I never have a moment to process what I just saw, because we're right into the next bit of action already. Sometimes I end up missing half the movie because I just zone out. Sometimes I stop watching it because it's too much, I stop caring because I can't care that much that fast.
The opening scene of Spaceballs has you watch, get impatient, realise what's happening, laugh, realise we're not done yet, laugh again, and then finish with a final little joke. The scene doesn't need to be that long, they could have easily sped it up, but the fact that it takes so long is part of the joke. Monty Python did a similar thing with the opening credits of Holy Grail. But it does require some patience from the audience and I don't know if we don't have that anymore, or we're worried that we don't have it anymore.
There generally seems to be less trust in the audience though. Everything has to be spelled out. And plenty of people expect things to be spelled out. There's this idea that if it's not explicitly shown or pointed out, then it doesn't count. And I think maybe the audience and the film/show makers reinforce each other's attitudes there, because there's less trust in the audience, but there's less trust in film/show makers too after the many examples recently of perfectly good franchises being run into the ground.
It's become this weird back-and-forth of "gotcha" and mistrust and lack of patience and goodwill, and it just becomes really obvious when you go back and watch older stuff. Which isn't to say that older stuff is always better or that all the new stuff is terrible. It just feels like a different dynamic between storyteller and audience.

I always find it weird when they advertise fruit. Our grocery store usually only has one single brand of strawberries so it's not like I have selection. Maybe in Korea there are multiple brands? Or they just want people to buy strawberries over grapes?
They do look delicious though!

That “slicing a bullet with a sword in slowmo” trope but the wielder is dumb and slices it horizontally causing the bullet to hit them in the head AND chest.

We need a big VC discord server or something to discuss these whacky things. I've thought of making a Devil's Minion server but I don't know if I have the bandwith to moderate it.
