Rick&Morty Copypasta but FRESH

To be fair, you have to have a very high amount of coolness to understand Fresh. His humor is xtremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of 90s stereotypes most o the jokes will go over an unrad broseph's head. There's also Fresh's radtacular outlook, which is wickedly woven into his characterization - his personal philosophy draws heavily from 90s PSAs, for instance. The coolkids understand this stuff; they have the wicked cool ability to truly appreciate the sicknastiness of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funky fresh- they say something deep about LYFE. As a gnarly consequence people who dislike Fresh truly ARE uncool- of course they wouldn't all up n' appreciate, for instance, the humor in Fresh's righteous catchphrase "Wiggidy wiggidy whatsup" which itself is a cryptic reference to The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.  I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those unfresh sinners scratching their heads in confusion as Crayon Queen's genius unfolds itself on their computer screens. What totally unfunky fools... how I pity them.  And yes by the way, I DO have a Fresh tattoo. And no, you cannot just up n' see it. It's for the ladies' and radlads' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within the amount of freshalicious swag points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

the deflection being front and center with the apology being a faded reflection AUUUUUUUGGHHH

SLAMMING MY FIST INTO THE FLOOR. THIS IS SO GOOD.

"In another life"

"Why not this one?"

I personally don't like this piece because of the anatomy and prespective issues (my biggest weakness) but Im too lazy to go back and fix it lol What's done is done.

I downloaded gachalife... Starting my quirky relatable animation channel today. 420 blaze it!!!

  TENTATAILS ARE SO HAWT  😫 💦 😳 😳 i couldnt go any farther with the joke, it was too painful. xD Happy april fools, yall.

UHHH AMPHIBIA SPOILERS FOR LIKE THE WHOLE SHOW 

I believe the point of the story was that Marcy saw Amphibia as the perfect escape when that wasn’t really true... She saw it through the lens of perfect fantasy glasses when it was as REAL and scary and horrific as the world she came from. Sure she did do a lot of amazing things, but she only really had an easier time because the king himself was using her.  She was so happy because she had Andrias to support and listen to her, and an immediate escape from her life’s past problems... I’m sure if she hadn’t met Andrias the amphibians would treat her as a strange outsider like Wartwood did to Anne.  Marcy probably would’ve had a much harder time expressing herself and doing what she wanted in Amphibia if Andrias hadn’t manipulated her by giving her his companionship and social power.  She doesn’t have the same people skills that Anne does, and the same manipulation tactics that Sasha had.  She would probably struggle to find her place in Amphibia despite it resembling fantasy media she’d consumed before.

All of this to say... Andrias betrayed her, and fatally wounded her, fully of his own volition.  He manipulated her and used her, fully of his own choice.  The one authority figure who Marcy thought truly supported her, IMPALED HER WITH A SWORD.  AND THEN DID MUCH WORSE BY GETTING HER POSSESSED.  Amphibia might’ve been a good place for her, but what we saw in the show was a façade, a perfect sugary frosting over a dark and tainted legacy of corruption.  We saw Marcy serving a king and his lord who thought of glory first, and people last.  This is why Amphibia wasn’t a good place for Marcy, she thrived in the corrupt city of Newtopia, and when the curtain was pulled back, she saw that this world was the same as the one she came from, with the same horrors and sorrows.. and even though earth was scary, she could go back to somewhere where she did belong, somewhere where any fantasy she chased didn’t have a potential of being too real and too cruel to her.  

I mean, if it were me and I found out horrifying magical amphibian brain transferring and body controlling technology was a thing I’d immeeediately nope out.  Yeah fantasy’s cool but NOT THAT- 

Also, a sortve unrelated thought about Andrias and Marcy... Maybe the plan wasn’t even fully a manipulation tactic or a lie, maybe Andrias was going to take her on his conquests, emotional support for his selfish destruction. His ancestors did keep trophies from other worlds... the moss men, the ghost fish... and Andrias was going to conquer earth next.   Marcy... was his new trophy.  Aldrich would be proud.

To put my complaints with Marcy's arc in particular into more coherent words now that I'm calmer.

It's absolutely true that from a meta perspective that Marcy did seem to end up happy in the end and that she is incredibly strong for it. However, with that being said, the fact that things turned out okay in universe doesn't change the fact that I disagree with the way the ending of her arc was portrayed narratively. Whether or not she ended up fine from a meta perspective isn't really up for debate here. She obviously did and I'm proud of her for that. But I've always had a problem with the idea that the morally correct or healthiest option for Marcy would be to go back to earth. And whether or not the writers intended to send that message (its absolutely very possible they were going for something more along the lines of marcy being strong enough to get through the undoubtedly hard time she'd have back on earth), that's kinda what they did.

Marcy spent a lot of the last episodes feeling guilty for everything she did and talking about how she started this whole mess trying to run away from reality, then she goes back to earth and she at least seems to end up happy there. It reads like your typical "Marcy was selfish and wrong for stealing the music box and needs to suck it up and go live in the real world >:(" take I've been arguing against since forever.

I probably wouldn't feel the way I do if there had been no possible way to stay in Amphibia and if they'd addressed that going back to earth isn't quite fair to Marcy but that she's strong enough to get through it. I probably wouldn't feel the way I do if they'd even just so much as cut back on that guilt Marcy really laid on thick over bringing them to Amphibia. Or if the other girls had stayed in contact with her after they went home since that'd give her a reason to want to go back at least.

But none of those things happened. And whatever the intention was, this ending for Marcy feels like a bad message to send. She was happy and accepted in Amphibia and she left because....why?

They didn't give any indication that there was something back on earth that she'd desperately miss. She spent six months in Amphibia the happiest she'd ever been and never once did she miss earth, and yet suddenly, now that she's started being obviously self critical for "hiding from reality" she's perfectly happy to go back?

Yeah, no, the message definitely reads as "Marcy was wrong when she tried to change her life circumstances and she needs to leave the place where she genuinely has the resources she needs that weren't available on earth and go back to earth so she can work twice as hard as everyone else to pull herself into a decent life. Because struggling through a world that wasn't built for her on earth is The Right Thing To Do and hiding from reality in Amphibia would be Wrong."

There were ways to write Marcy going back to earth permanently that would be fine, but this absolutely was not it in my opinion because I'll just never be able to agree with the idea that living in Amphibia is an immoral or unhealthy thing for Marcy to do when it's blatantly clear she thrived there so much easier than she ever did on earth.

Yes thank youuu!! I see people all the time misremember the scene where he crashes as happening when he's touched by Blue, this isn't true! He crashes because he gets overwhelmed (feeling like he doesn't know what to do) when seeing Blue have a panic attack.

This isn't associated with him being touched either, but sometimes his vision will be filled with ERRORs. This either happens randomly or when he's reminded of his past unexpectedly.

^ When Swap!Pap tried to talk him out of fighting using his past friendships.

^ When Swap!Sans tried to use friendship against him.

There's a lot of other examples of the ERRORs filling his eyes but they're almost always associated with him remembering something he doesn't want to, or thinking about companionship.

Error Sans and his haphephobia.

More so, how people take his haphephobia and twist it WAY out of proportion. This will be a long post. Feel free to skip over this.

HAPHEPHOBIA ; What is it?

Haphephobia is fairly rare, and often triggered by things such as abuse / sexual abuse or because of unidentifiable reasons. Error's, as we can assume, is caused by his glitching and just a fear of sudden touch in general. (Keep that 'sudden' part in mind.) Haphephobia, as mentioned in the screenshot, is different to hypersensitivity. Haphephobia doesn't cause a person any pain, it causes emotional distress at the thought of being touched. This can vary from person to person- Everyone experiences phobias in different ways.

DOES ERROR HAVE HAPHEPHOBIA? ; Or is it a fandom headcanon?

Yes. Error canonically has haphephobia, as stated by LoverOfPiggies.

WHY IS IT RELEVANT? ; Can I just ignore it?

NO. You can't just ignore a serious phobia. It's a part of Error, you can't pick and choose when it comes to his character. I know, I know, "It gets in the way of my art!" "It gets in the way of my fics!", but you can WORK AROUND IT. Deal with it. BUT, as I'll get into, it doesn't completely ruin your fics that apparently NEEEEEEED Error to touch someone.

SO HOW CAN I 'REMOVE' IT? ; Is it just there forever? Do I have to use it?

Yes and no. Haphephobia is actually treatable, as is most EVERY phobia. It's silly to think otherwise. I've seen a couple of very sweet fics where Error (with proper support) learns to get over the phobia and become able to touch people with ease. This is the.. Uh, chaotic neutral route? Considering you are, in a sense, removing his haphephobia, but acknowledging it's there and it's life-altering in some cases. In art this is a lot harder, since you'd need tons and tons of comic pages to cover him learning to ease off the fear just to draw a piece of Classicerror or Retroglitch fanart.

HOW TO CORRECTLY PORTRAY ; Error's haphephobia.

This is only relevant to ERROR. Haphephobia differs from person to person, monster to monster :3

Can he touch people? ; ... Yes.

Error partaking in a handshake, from Season One of Ask Error by LoverOfPiggies !! :3 Some key points occur in the moments leading up to this scene and the scene itself. An ask or two before, an anon asked to hug Error. Error happily declines, because he "would mess it up". Not because he's terrified of being touched, because he's scared of messing it up. Pathetic wet cat behaviour. In the scene above, we see Error initiate and enjoy a handshake! In fact, for the next couple asks, he doesn't even take his hand away from "Paragon"- He simply holds their hand absently. UNTIL someone points out that their handshake has crossed over into hand-holding, and anons start "shipping" the two, THAT'S when Error becomes pissed and rips his hand away. So clearly, he's fine with touch to some extent, mostly when politely asked to be touched or initiating touch of his own will.

Now...

This is when the haphephobia comes into play. (Actually, this event happens before the shipping stuff, as seen from Error still holding "Paragon"s hand.)

The anon hugs Error WITHOUT warning, WITHOUT consent, at random. THIS is what sets Error's haphophobia off, THIS is what makes him really pissed. As seen, Error starts shaking and the errors around his body become more erratic. His eyesockets go blank, he freezes, he goes into "freeze mode" before going straight to "fight mode".

So, from this we can gather, Error can initiate touch and doesn't mind consentual touch at most times.

He does have moments where he isn't fine with touch, which is okay! I'm the same, with my autism and sensory issues! He's valid in not wanting to be touched, and as long as he expresses discomfort and fellow monsters are undertanding, everything's fine.

Error's haphephobia does not flare up from the smallest handshake or a side hug. He can touch other monsters, he just doesn't want to sometimes! And people touching him out of the blue, he isn't fine with that, which makes sense!! Who does want random contact out of NO WHERE? No one !! (I don't think..)

MISCONCEPTIONS ;

Error lags when he's touched! ; Actually, Error is never shown to 'lag'. It's a fun headcanon, though! ^_^

Error bluescreens ; This is just another headcanon, which is fun to fiddle with, but not canon!

Error can crash and reboot like an old computer ; Yes, actually! In Season Two of Ask Error, he does reboot after a considerable amount of stress (?).

Anyways, thanks for listening to the yapper! Uh, feel free to correct me on anything if I got somethings wrong!! ^_^ Love you all!! Mwah mwah mwah!!/p

SO COOOOOL

Fresh if he was in Gloomverse. You know I’m right

I know it might be a little late to ask ( I just noticed you allowed questions again), but since Fresh was in Gloomverse would it be possilble for him to get a hat or have magic? If so, what kind/type of magic would he have? ( I know it probably wasn't cannon but I'm just really curious).

If Fresh was in Gloomverse, he’d have really stupid improbable 90s magic, summoning freaking pogs and furbies and skip its and all that nonsenseIt would be really dumb

one of the greatest hiveminds of our time

the furby organ comes together for glorious purpose

to serenade the world with tunes from a bygone decade

from a lost land, glimpsed only by mortal eyes temporarily

these are the forsaken souls of those who journeyed to earth

the children of the great F’urbi

lamenting yet cherishing their lot in life

still living, and yet, left to wander the folds of nostalgia, and nightmare, for all eternity

I just found this and I want you all to know of its existence..if not first time then again https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GYLBjScgb7o&pp=ygUPVGhlIGZ1cmJ5IG9yZ2Fu

Especially the sound of the
