Anora posted:Is Peridot implying that Sir Bacon is not worthy of "Friends?" Peridot is implying that they are obviously a romantic-type ladycouple, because it is impossible for any show's fandom to conceive of any "friendship" between two people of the same gender being platonic UNLESS there are giant flaming hints they are in fact actually gay, in which case many of them will exhibit Mr. Magoo-like levels of obliviousness.

The underlying tension of NK and what was his deal has already been pretty much shot to poo poo as is, though. "Why is this chump who keeps getting pushed around not taking over the world" isn't really a huge question anymore.

No one actually seems to have asked from what we've seen. And it is definitely kind of weird to ask a bad guy why they're bad. You wouldn't ask that of a person mugging you. You wouldn't ask that of a dictator.

Maybe he failed to protect someone he cared about, in a reverse-Carrot situation, and that's why he hates weakness, from his own shortcomings? The parallel would make sense, considering they're both knights, after all.

Okay, well that makes sense as a source of power for Nightmare Knight. Anyone want to take a bet that he's in this cycle because of a Faustian bargain. life_source posted:Eh... I'm calling bullshit.

Rand Brittain posted:Do people even fear him that much? It seems like most of Dreamside hasn't even noticed he's there yet. The disaster masters probably do most of the fear-mongering for him, and they only show up at the time when it's most likely to cause widespread panic. (save Rosemaster, who was all sneaky about it) That said, whenever he does show up in person, everybody else is pretty much pissing themselves scared, so it could be just his reputation alone is enough to create "fear". What I wanna know is if this conversation is a flashback or taking place after finishing Punisher Pumice.

^^^^^ Pretty sure it's a flashback prompted by Pumice's description of friendship. I wouldn't be surprised if the little candy doodle thing NK is staring at was drawn by Parfait during that conversation.

If it's a helmet, is he a bunny? Because a giant bunny would be kinda cute.

She rescinded that tweet to say the shocking end twist to Cucumber Quest would be when Nightmare Knight pulls off his helmet to reveal it was Papyrus the whole time. This is the acceptable canon.
