God I'm writing a personality section for Sam Vimes and I can just...keep going
Villain
I'm up to like paragraph five but there's still so much to cover
Villain
god bless complex characters
big juicy
I wrote up a lot more on Valerie than i expected, yeah
big juicy
i'm at five paragraphs with her but now i'm like NO WAIT, I CAN ADD MORE THOUGH
Villain
She seems like an interesting character from what I've seen of her through you
Villain
Her deal is like, she's a snotty rich kid who loses her family fortune because of something Danny did and has to deal with being poor all of the sudden?
Villain
Who then becomes a ghost hunter with equipment from shady sources so she can get revenge on Danny Phantom while dating Danny Fenton and not realizing they're the same person?
big juicy
yeah
Villain
That is pretty cool
big juicy
she also breaks up with Danny Fenton because she doesn't want him getting hurt because of her secret ghsot hunting gig
Villain
aaaaawkwaaaaaard
big juicy
basically, she thinks she's the exact same hero Danny is
big juicy
and you could literally make an entirely separate parallel show about Valerie's life as a teen hero fighting against her arch-enemy Danny Phantom, and it would be just as great.
big juicy
(i really want this show, no lie. i wish that show could exist.)
Villain
I...think I'm going to quietly not think too hard about Vimes as a racist
Villain
because the only way to translate that over from canon is to make him actually be like "Damn those sneaky mexicans"
~(=^‥^)_｡
the thing about vimes is that he pretty much deals with everyone at the same level
Villain
which even if he's equally critical of all other ethnicities is not something I want to do
Villain
That is a better way to look at it
Villain
he CALLS himself racist
Villain
but really isn't
Villain
he doesn't think mexicans are sneaky or mistrustful, he thinks humans are
Villain
and metahumans aren't any better
~(=^‥^)_｡
but he is more likely to say the same thing about everyone than to pick on one group unless that group is giving him the hardest time at that moment
Villain
Okay let's see
Villain
Got the darkness within
Villain
Got the hatred of the rich
Villain
Got the history of aloholism
Villain
Got the difference between smoothing the system along and offering briges
Villain
bribes*
Villain
I......think I'm good
Villain
Seven paragraphs
Villain
now THAT is a personality section
Villain
oh wait I forgot VAMPIRES
~(=^‥^)_｡
yeah the only creature that he actually hates
Villain
no
Villain
he also hates the rich
Villain
they're a creature
~(=^‥^)_｡
yeah that is true
dragon time
and rich vampires are the worst of all
Villain
Most vampires ARE riche
Villain
rich
Villain
Vampires are, like, super aristocrats
Villain
that eat people
dragon time
Jingo sums up Vimes' racism pretty well
dragon time
like, he'll leap to the assumption that the klatchian restauranters don't actually speak morporkian when most of them actually grew up in the city
dragon time
but he's never, like, intentionally racist and he's a good guy
dragon time
he just has those subconscious attitudes that creep in sometimes
dragon time
it's a pretty good representation of the average human being I think
