Speaking of gigi's tumblr art, there seems to be a direct correlation between her need to communicate that she is trash and belongs in the trash and the quality of her output

No, it's Cucumber in his evil phase.

This was my take. I mean, it seems so obvious right? Why else would Double Knight be so uninvested in winning?

Gigi will probably throw a curve though :v:

Nah, if that was the case, the current NK would have only gone through the motions once, and he looks and behaves like he was 100% done with this poo poo five million years ago.

I don't think being consigned to the fate of taking on the role of your former mortal enemy to perpetuate a cycle of containment because of <reasons> only one time precludes being incredibly over this poo poo :v:

That said I still don't think that'll be it.

Noisemaster's will be tough to beat. I guess it all depends on how you weigh realizing the futility of trying your best leading to suicide.

Stormgale

I'd guess her genuine feelings for the nightmare knight combined with his unwillingnessor his inability to help her will lead to her death being far more tragic than Noise Master's. Her death will be sad and pointless (as cucumber is all ready doubting the entire point of this heroes journey).

it's not death tho, probably more like coldsleep maybe? i wonder if they're aware, can interact with the others to any extent in orb form?

Man G.G.'s really steps up her game with each chapter's villain. First there was the adorably cliche Cordelia, then the fun and goofy Splashmaster, next was the surprisingly interesting Noisemaster, and now we have Rosemaster who's gonna tug on all of our heartstrings.

I mean; I am finding it hard to believe that she'll top herself with the next one, but she always does, and that kind of surprise is why I read Cuco.

Well that just makes it even more depressing that Noisemaster's DAD (Implied Father Figure) is the one who blocks him from succeeding which causes him to commit suicide. :(

Gigi has made it clear that Noisemaster is loving dead. Like, in the ground stone cold dead.

Don't feel too bad, I got a different vibe from it, too. Seemed too... poignant; too people-working-on-the-same level and not like the whole Cordelia/Peridot parent/child relationship.

If she's trying to write this as a parent/child relationship then quite simply she's not doing a very good job of it. This entire Rosemaster scene reads more like star crossed lovers than anything else.

It was sorta true at some point, but has been retconned. The Disaster Masters are just NK's underlings. His only child is NK Jr.

Each Disaster Master is actually a time-traveling Nightmare Knight. NK's species goes through a lot of weird larval stages.

Gonna have to agree. I'm ambivalent on the whole thing but, if Gigi is trying to make them come across as his dysfunctional quasi-kids, the text and body language is not selling that at all
