Every story’s got side characters that accidentally steal a scene. Theo and Sparky weren’t supposed to exist like that, they kinda just crawled out of the narrative because I realized Greg’s brain couldn’t handle itself.

This episode breaks down why they matter even if they barely show up.Theo’s the part of Greg that can actually think without ego.Sparky’s the part that can actually feel without lying to himself.

following along with the mind body ego trinity for greg vs it would be intresting to see you do a version of greg that instead of making a narative for himself embraced the animal to kind of just skip over the complicated parts of both ego and mind, not like sparky who lacks the spirit to give meaning to his actions or just lacks the self reflection needed to keep himself from burning out, but more like someone along the lines of spear from genndy tartakovsky's primal. The core of spear to me is a man who embodies stoicism as a result of a lack of ability to truly change his world, he's not powerful enough to simply take on any threat that comes his way, so he masters himself using both ego, mind and body as tools for his survival and the survival of those close to him. trying to make my thoughts actually work in written format, in a world where greg isn't playing a character at any given time but instead tried to genuinly refine himself into his ideal self he'd probably end up in the same possition as a greg who didn't gain OP gamer powers, the gamer powers offered progress and an escape from who he was originally but unlike most other forms of power didn't offer a chance to improve himself. with any other power system, it would have shaped the kind of person he was as a result of that power being a tool to refine himself but the gamer system instead used greg as a tool to make characters to play it. basically, it seems to me that the problem greg has is the gamer system let him live life as a video game and now nothing is actually real, but what would have happened if greg had actually had a little bit more humility when he first got the powers? would he have understood that he's essentially a hairless ape with a god's powers strapped to it or is the nature of the gamer power something that always ends with Greg losing touch with reality? TLDR; really should have invested more into wisdom looking back on it lmao and lacking natural limitations really fucks with a guy

Poops

Loved this a bunch, hope there's more in the future. All this talk about about where all the characters are right now scared me cuz the current arc is perfect for riping them to pieces to who they become in the future. Cuz nothing says change like a the slaughterhouse coming to say fuck in in peticular Greg.
