Alright so, I have a crackpot fan theory for Jellopocalypse’s Dogs In Love 2. Spoilers below.
So you know Chobin, he’s got an undefined past. By his own admission he is either a super hunky football player (doubt it) or a Gulpin that was transformed by the unhealthy sandals. But we’ve seen other scientist models in the game and they don’t look too different from the guy... relatively. So my theory is that he was once a much more normal looking scientist that got experimented on by Doctor Kaminko.
But despite his sketchy history, we do know that he has a VERY contagious form of the First Person Disease. We also know that when the pokemon get infected by it, it seems to cure itself quickly. Whether that’s because everyone is saying their names, Jolteon weirdness, or if his strain just wears off easily, I’m not sure. But we do know several other people who have it. Most notably are Jovi and the small family that can only say Jovi’s name for unknown reasons.
So here’s my theory, the unofficial timeline of Chobin!
1) Chobin, a reasonably accomplished scientist, successfully works with the main lab to create a robot that can produce completely (or mostly completely) organic offspring. Using the money from this venture he starts his own family with a writer in Oree’s main port city.
2) The First Person Disease spreads throughout Oree and affects Chobin and his family. The Jovi family either goes mad trying to protect Jovi by saying her name and failing, or they get infected with a particularly nasty strain and are stuck saying her name.
3) Chobin teams up with Doctor Kaminko to try and solve this problem but accidentally winds up walking in on him “plucking his Oddish” and is made to wear the Unhealthy Sandals, mutating into his current form. Exit is blamed for this somehow???
4) Chobin’s mind warps and he develops a persona, or is programmed to be, 100% supportive of the doctor and test all his evil (or just weird) experiments.
5) A brief encounter with Wound via radio allows Chobin to develop a small amount of free will which he uses to continue working on Robo Groudon even when the doctor denounces the project.
6) Post-game Chobin leaves to further develop his battling as well as his own personality. It is unknown at this time if he ever recovers enough to see his family again or tell Exit the truth about his father.

Imo volume 8 is where rwby hit rock bottom. It's when you might as well give up ANY last bits of hope for a good story if you weren't self-caring enough to drop it after volume 4. It's when the show loses the last bits of self-awareness. It felt like the writers finally stopped trying, ykwim? Sure they were red flags and bigotry high and low every season prior, and one could endlessly nitpick and nitpick and nitpick what's wrong with this show, and if anything it may have never been good altogether. But fucking volume 8? Felt like they didn't know what story they wanted to tell anymore. There's no consistent story, arcs that matter or anything to be followed unless you turn your brain off and take nothing seriously.
But no, that wouldn't be right. Cause then there's volume 9, just when you thought it couldn't sink any lower. It is beyond my comprehension how any sane, mature viewer can look at how jokingly, carelessly, superficially the writers have treated the topics of suicide and yet STILL ask for more, STILL see nothing that'd have them go "ok, this is wrong, they shouldn't have done that", STILL screech green light volume 10!!!! all over the place.
Like, what is wrong with you people?
Long Post Ahead
In the words of Jellopocalypse, RWBY is a show that like to fly by the seat of its pants. The first few volumes, while shaky and full of things that is valid to criticize about, had this charm to it that pulled people to watch. It was a passion project and filled with care from its creator, and that was obvious. It was a diamond in the rough waiting to be polished and explored given time and effort.
However, it was also clear that the writers are still very, very incompetent for the actual writing for this show on the grand scheme of its narrative. Which is a shame, because they CAN write. Red vs. Blue had great episodes, and so did RWBY; Volume 7 had my favorite episode "Gravity" and it was written by M*les, so the dude can make a very good episode where you're engaged with it. However, that episode immediately went to the trash because everything after that is so bad, it made everything that happened in Gravity in regards to Ironwood meaningless. The hype was gone, the faith that we had for the show finally picking up again got shattered because the writers refuse to keep up the momentum of their story.
It's not the first time this happened. Things were picking up back in Volume 2 during Yang and Blake's conversation, then Cinder's infiltration into the CCTV tower, and then Mountain Glenn. But guess what? The girls defeated the bad guys and took a nap on it instead of continuing to question what's happening around them. Volume 3 had so many good moments, but the dredge of V4 and V5 and so on made the events of Beacon meaningless. No example is better than what happened to Penny.
There is a lack of consistency as well as a lack of passion for RWBY from its actual writers, because the show is RT's cash cow now. CRWBY from the get go just copies cool ideas and themes for other shows without actually understanding WHY it worked for those show. It's all every surface level writing, and it's insulting because they CAN write. They just chose to be incompetent.

[forgive the formatting of this post, i am kind of terrified of the fandom and i don't want to censor myself when talking about my special interest]
so like... i don't know anything about music, so idk if i can answer this question the way you want. i just know what songs sound good to my ears. so i don't really have anything analytical to say, last time i got analytical about tm/taa//am i got nitpicked to high hell and i just. still haven't recovered enough to get in that headspace again. BUT i can tell you my favourite songs and why i like them! and which ones i think are most impressive to an amateur's ear. so here's that.
the samurai always wins
youtube
constantly in awe of this one. musically it is this glorious romp that i think about whenever my mind is allowed to wander. it's a proper courtroom battle in song form, at one point you've got a fucking 5-part cacophony going on and it sounds erratic and insane and BEAUTIFUL. one of my favourite parts is how passionate miles sounds when singing his first verse in this song because it sounds like he is just really really stoked to be singing to the tune of the steel samurai theme.
miles is kind of the shining star of this one for me (altho cody is fucking amazing too like he is SPITTING FIRE) because i really like how, lyrically, it expands upon a piece of characterization that is really easy to miss when you are playing this case in the games:
Tumblr media
like :) alright :) again this is in the games but you will miss it if you arent looking for it and you will especially miss it if you don't know miles' backstory.
TSAW fucks so hard that even though turnabout samurai got cut from the reboot, it was repurposed into redd white adieu. and of course it was, how do you let THIS song go? i'm really glad it persisted and i wouldn't change that for the world, but obviously, nothing can best the original.
2. anything to win
youtube
alright so while this song is in both iterations i am insanely biased for the original cast and so that's what you'll be getting for the links but i will talk about. both of them. because i have things to say
i have a parasocial relationship with laflin's manfred. i just found out the other day that not only is he this manfred, my fave manfred, but he is also manfred from the jellopocalypse videos im obsessed with. this motherfucker has been my two fave manfreds this whole time. i thought he was two seaprate guys. motherfucker
TM ATW changed my brain chemistry. i mean that. it introduces manfred von karma in a MUCH softer way, which is included in this upload--him and miles talking about justice, and the court system, and probably my favourite, amazingly succinct representation of how miles' ideals twisted EVER:
miles: these are people's lives we're dealing with. my father--!
miles: ...my father...
manfred: your father was killed by one of the very criminals he sought to protect, my dear boy.
it paints this image of miles, lost and grieving, and takes the time to remind you that however corrupt mvk is, it was him holding miles aloft in the aftermath of everything. it's the first time i consciously remember stopping dead in my tracks and thinking about the prospect of a softer take on him, and as everyone who follows me knows, that ended up being the characterization i fell in love with.
and then the fucking church organ kicks on and the latin chanting starts up and i think you are supposed to be scared shitless, but i am kin with franziska, so i am hearing a lullaby. i am on the edge of my seat in an ornate courtroom enraptured. i am 3 years old being carried down the winding halls of a giant mansion in munich. i am at peace.
the thing that a lot of people disagree with me on is that manfred von karma is charismatic. i can understand the idea that i might be biased here, i am not opposed to it, but i genuinely think he is? it's not that i think he's... charming, per se, but i feel like i am inexplicably drawn to him and i don't think that is just me. i feel like that's... meant to be a fixture of his character? that when he speaks in court you want to listen. that you feel almost powerless to speak up yourself. he opens his mouth and i am quiet, i want to LISTEN.
one of the reasons i love this song, and laflin's performance specifically, is because i feel it so strongly it almost aches in my chest. his voice is so rich and bassy and it's thunderous in a way that is comforting, like a warm thunderstorm rolling over a prairie. i feel like i am alone in church prostrate before a god that i am delighted to dedicate myself mind body and soul to. i feel like when people say "god of prosecutors" i understand, because this song is like divinity white-hot in my blood. i swear to god i am not trying to be dramatic. this song makes me feel alight.
the vocal performance aside, the fucking LYRICS?
Tumblr media
RIP to my favourite verse in the whole song which got cut from the taa//am version, don't cross von Karma / Perfection incarnate
one thing i love about the ta/a//am version that isn't in the OG tho is the foley work of manfred's cane tapping on the floor as a sort of metronome while he sings. they use this effect a lot in taa///am and i am ETERNALLY grateful for it, especially because the AA fanbase in all their obsession with flanderizing mvk into the most despicable bigot imaginable likes to forget that he's disabled. i really love that it is impossible to ignore in the reboot, and how they turn that aspect of him into kind of a funeral dirge.
the latin in the reboot version also contains the final verse 'miles is innocent / but i'll do anything to win' and that might be the most big brained fucking thing to ever ever ever happen, ever.
comfort character? no. comfort song. i listen to this one whenever im having trouble sleeping and it knocks me out instantly, unlocks some primal part of my brain. maybe i truly am just a useless kinnie.
ok i'm done. for now.
3. it's gotta be the butz!
youtube
objectively my favourite song in the whole musical. zero hesitation when asked. it's fun, it's silly, it's got the almost christmas meme, i wish i had more to say but just listen to it. i really love the drumbeats in place of the gunshots during cross, i love the banter!!!! i again think manfred is my favourite part of this whole song.
this song also contains my favourite verse in the whole musical, which i have written extensively about here. there is also a meme that i made to more succinctly encompass my feelings on the matter:
Tumblr media
seriously manfred is so fucking funny here. this is a colossal waste of time. i demand this witness be dismissed and ideally drawn and quartered. that man needs a lobotomy. im fucking howling.
reboot version is good, they added some little leitmotifs and christmas bells and they are cute!!!! my favourite thing the reboot did was replace all of maya's parts here with miles. i think that is WAY more thematically appropriate and turns it into a song that not only parallels the class trial, but is now just larry and his two best friends roasting him. it was a REALLY good choice.
not much else to say please just listen.
4. 600,000 volts
youtube
i love. love. LOVE the instrumentals for this song. the strings have me insane. the fact that its a waltz. the way that manfred sounds poised up against such light and airy instrumentals. i'm a little obsessed with the melody of 600k because when played in the overture it sounds, like... light, and free, and soaring? as opposed to how sinister it is in its proper context. something about the lyrics, the monologue before he charges them, and the breaks in dialogue.
i am... a massive critic of 600k in the reboot. i don't think that the actors are given enough room to breathe and speak in it. i have tried with all i am to not compare the new cast to the original too much, but i think what compels me about laflin's manfred is that he speaks very slowly, in a way that is almost a little infuriating. like get to the end of the sentence, damnit! i have places to be! but that is a good thing, because that is the character. it reminds me of manfred's finger-waggling sprite in the games, how long it is, how the text box doesn't show up until he's done, and how you have no way of skipping it. you have to wait, because he is in control, and you are at his mercy. laflin speaks like that, somehow. it's technically impressive.
i am also a critic of some of the voice direction in the reboot--i don't think it is as tight as the original, i don't feel like it sounds as natural as a lot of the dialogue in the og. some actors are really pulling their weight despite it, but it's just something i've noticed a lot, and i think 600k is the biggest example for me. but like, i don't think young's manfred is bad or anything, i just think the song is mixed in such a way that he's not, like, allowed to let his sentences kind of sit on the air. and i want to take it for what it is and not care or compare those two performances, but i just. cannot get it out of my mind how much i wish he was allowed to talk a little slower, a little more sinister, a little more imposing. it's a shame, because other than that, it's a fucking amazing performance! god, the way he BELLOWS the word tenfold is phenomenal!!! the way his voice fades into a whisper, the quiet evil chuckling as he's giving phoenix two more, like BESTIE!!!!!!
and my dissatisfaction with the bulk of the vocal performance is made even worse by the fact that the instrumental and sound mixing for 600k in the reboot is VASTLY superior to the original, which is rare for me to say. but i'm posting it here because you NEED to hear it.
youtube
there is something so... mournful. i don't know. i cant explain it. i just. i love this fucking song. it's grown on me so much.
oh! another thing i really like about the reboot is they changed the lyric from 'lest you let your girlfriend be slain' to 'lest you watch this child be slain,' which i really like because 1. heteronormative mvk was weird to begin with and 2. he literally has a daughter maya's age! it's a subtle acknowledgement of franziska (one of two in this song) but it almost makes him all the more evil because you're like oh yeah she's his daughters age. OH HE'S ABOUT TO ASSAULT A LITTLE GIRL HIS DAUGHTER'S AGE AND HE KNOWS THAT AND HE DOESN'T CARE. EVIL MAN!!!
i love manfred von karma.
5. trial by fire
youtube
A RARE ITERATION OF A REBOOT SONG I LOVE SO MUCH MORE THAN THE ORIGINAL. in the original this was a skip for me every single time. i just was not a fan. but the fucking GLO UP IT GOT!!!!!!! i don't even know what it is but just something about switching the verses around and adding some more variety to it, plus using its main melody in a parallel song, just really fucking had it growing on me.
but more than that, it's a set of lyrics that just really got me in my heartstrings:
Tumblr media
these ones. are just SO fucking romantic, like i love their love, i don't talk about it enough because they're a little overrated and plenty of other people are talking about them, but every once in a while it will just HIT me how sweet they are about each other, and its shit like this. hearing phoenix wax poetic about this boy he so clearly had a crush on from day one, and how he kept those feelings so close to his heart the whole TIME, it just gets me. i love a lot of things about phoenix wright but the fact that he is a hopeless romantic, a lover to his core, is literally one of my favourite things about him.
and then the song just doesn't let me breathe and hits me with:
Tumblr media
for reasons that are probably obvious to anyone who's been following me longterm, the concept of someone having a shit reputation, loathed by countless people, simply because they are abrasive and difficult and unpleasant to be around--even when they have not actually done anything wrong--having one person who loves and believes in them despite it all, well. its a very sensitive topic for me. and so these lyrics really punch me in the gut, every time.
annnnnd the best song in the entire TM/TAA///AM CANON IS:
youtube
WHO KILLED GREGORY EDGEWORTH. MOTHERFUCKER.
what the fuck do i even say about this? i don't know if i've had enough time to recover from it to analyze it. so i'll just talk about my favourite part of the song:
during maya's 'not yet! object!' part of the song, if you listen with your whole heart, you will hear gav's fucking astounding performance as miles edgeworth, and you will hear him weeping the fucking lyrics, I killed my own father / I killed him / I confess.
i am incapable of functioning during this lyric. it is a full body lockdown. i am usually walking home, and i have to stand there on the sidewalk, unmoving. i feel lightheaded. i am not exaggerating. music has never done this to me before. i think what i am experiencing is, again, just kinnie bullshit. i think it hits a button in my soul that overloads me with protective big sister energy and i lock up because i cannot do anything but sit there and listen.
and then it fucking HITS ME, with NO TIME TO RECOVER, with maya and mia's fucking harmony on The second bullet / Must have been taken away.
that harmony makes my fucking soul explode. the way maya says the final verse. the way maya solves the case. the way it's all maya, but mia is there for that brief moment JUST to sound beautiful with her before the song stops, then ramps back up, and then ends gloriously. i don't know what else to say. i cannot describe this song to you. please just listen to it on full volume with your heart bursting and full. and know i am crying somewhere in rapture that it exists.
thank you for this question. i am so happy.

Am supposed to sleep for the first day of school and instead ending up pirating the first ep of velma out of spite and curiosity
Honestly the animation isnt bad and the voice acting is okay. However i do agree on the general consensus that this is just an absolute character assassination of the entire gang. Yknow minus the scooby obviously
I was obsessed with scooby doo as a kid and had a ton of its books along with watching every cartoon network special movie that premiered. I even trued to keep up with the lore of mystery incorporated, even when its airing in the Philippines was so wack
But like besides the name those arent the gang. They’re stereotypes of the type of people I imagine fill up American schools. Like whats the point of everyone being so mean to each other, is that like normal in the US? Cause personal experience from my time in hs in the Philippines says otherwise.
I also dont get why they’re trying to roast the fans so much. Like whats wrong with liking cartoons as an adult? You dont stop enjoying things just cause you grow up. And norville constantly having to drill it into our fucking heads that he isnt a stoner just to kill a beloved fan headcannon.
Jellopocalypse’s scooby doo video actually sums it up best to what characteristics each of them truly possess. Fucking change everyone’s races or identities for all i care but for god sakes just make sure to keep the essence of what makes them them. And I absolutely agree on the take that fred maybe the most basic character but by god he is the best character in that franchise. That stupid man baby in his place at the moment is not my fred and should be purged from general existence
