has actually talked to their parents more than once
i mean, i imagine you’d kinda have to unless you get friends
probably has considered running away on multiple occasions, hell even if their parents are chill it’d at least be interesting
will probably go wild in college. Either that or just…carry on.
all around fascinating human being
The First Born:
Elsa probably
Their internal monologue is just screaming
So filtered that no one knows what they actually think of them
genuinely good at things, but since they’re the first kid, they set the standard and they get stuck in this loop of believing they’ll never be good enough even though they’re /more/ than competent
can’t straight up tell people that they dislike them
The Middle Child:
Literally Can’t Do Anything Right
The only member of the family who’s allowed to make Mistakes
hates conflict but is simultaneously really fucking confrontational
Hasn’t felt an emotion other than :~) in three years
crafts their personality into a complete joke in anticipation of no one taking them seriously, living in a constant state of uncertainty as to whether or not their actions are genuinely ironic
The Second Child-A:
Type-A Personality
The list of things they’ve never done reads: “Gotten Less than a 96%, Fallen, Made a Fool of themselves In Public, etc.”
Superhuman
Seems suspiciously like the kind of person who reminds the teacher to give homework because they need to keep their 140% in Bio.
They don’t even need to be part of your family, they’ll still be your mom’s favorite child– you’re not even jealous, you’re just like “Same”.
The Second Child-T:
*the impossible dream plays softly from a distance*
like the Middle Child but engineered to be Better,
making it twice as devastating when they inevitably ruin everything
probably believes they’ve accidentally wronged the universe on some personal level and lives their life overcompensating for something they did when they were like 9-years-old
has been fixated on the same goal for the past 7 years
The Youngest of Three:
The Only Good One
is aware of that fact
has their life together, drinks more water than you will in your entire life, runs a twitter with more than 40k followers, and is only 8-years-old
cried for like three hours because they couldn’t draw a sunflower
so many friends, they all just kinda blur together
The Youngest in a Line of Many:
has all of the talent.
If your lucky, some of their talent will rub off on you.
also has all of the independence, and could probably beat you in an argument at any time of the day regardless of who’s right
Sometimes they’re like “I had to fistfight my brother for a sandwich once” and you think they’re joking around
they’re not joking around
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS IS THE MOST ACCURATE THING EVER WRITTEN WHAT THE HECK
I’m not only the first born, but the first born among us grandkids, and I cosign this
1. the timeframe of the show, fraggle rock, from the war between fraggle rock and fraggle cave to present, is approximately 200 years, if not less, due to the presence of underground pipes prior to the colonization of the greater fraggle rock/cave area by fraggles of some undisclosed fraggle homeland.
2. the world’s oldest fraggle is this old, if not older
3. the world’s oldest fraggle rules by force and is often seen being physically and emotionally aggressive to his subordinates
3. modern fraggles do not remember, or have any oral tradition of, the fraggle war. therefore, fraggles have a lifespan of eight to ten years, allowing dissolution of oral tradition into nonsensical song within the time between the two fraggle wars.
4. the world’s oldest fraggle is never seen eating radishes, or any radish byproduct, and seemingly has a significantly longer lifespan than other fraggles.
5. fraggles have both textiles and a dye industry. the only other lifeforms within fraggle rock that are less than entirely sentient are the rodents; their hair is most likely too short to weave into fabric. outside of plant fiber, which is hard to come by underground, there is no source of fiber long enough to weave outside of fraggle hair or meticulously knotted rodent hair.
6. the world’s oldest fraggle most likely needs to eat.
7. fraggles understand the idea of consumption of another living being, as referenced by uncle travelling matt’s avoidance of doc’s dog, sprocket.
8. fraggles are born on a regular basis, and most likely die on a regular basis as well.
9. world’s oldest fraggle eats fraggle meat.
10. world’s oldest fraggle eats fraggle meat.
11. world’s oldest fraggle eats fraggle meat.
Don’t Fraggles count in days rather than months or years?
More than once throughout the series characters have said ‘many days ago’ or something along those lines to explain how long ago something was.
In the episode ‘The Lost Treasure of the Fraggles’ Red and Gobo find a map. Red reads aloud, “This Map was drawn by Dwight at the time of the Third Drafting.’ in response, Gobo explains, ‘The Third Drafting? But that’s about a zillion-squintillion days ago!’
In that same episode when they accidentally smash through a boulder after tripping over one of Sprocket’s lost roller skates, they gain access to a previously hidden part of the Rock. All over the place are creatures with rather long hair. They could be a source of fiber. Also the Gorgs are quite large, their shed fur could easily be be collected and used in sewing/knitting/etc.
ANYWAYS Whenever the Third Drafting happened, it was in a time when music was already a huge part of Fraggle culture. The lost treasure of Fraggle Rock is a music box, hidden within the home of the Gorgs above the mantle.
In S03 E18 ‘The Cavern of Lost Dreams’ Cotterpin Doozer and Gobo go exploring and find the namesake of the episode, where two very elderly Doozer ( Yeaster and Crusty ) are.They briefly ask Cotterpin where the rest of the ‘Relief Detachment’ is. The Relief Detachment were a group of Doozers who departed from that neck of the Rock to find a new material for building with. There, you see primitive Doozer construction that was made of Mushrooms. ( Which is why the Relief Detachment was formed, the mushroom population began to dwindle because of the constant use in Doozer construction. ) Mind, these structures are ‘ancient’ in Doozer/Fraggle standards, so they’re no longer edible ( as proven by Gobo who attempts to eat one of the towers ).
Now, I don’t know about you, but if The World’s Oldest Fraggle was alive in the time of Primitive Doozers, he very well may have eaten Mushrooms ( and even contributed to the demise of their population ), as that seems to be what was available around the Rock many many many days ago.
Just food for thought lmfao.
ruby, ewan, ball’s in your court
i don’t know how to respond. this person is clearly the leland chee of fraggle rock lore. this is vastly, vastly out of my league
Oh for the love of Prince Lothric do you actually watch Mat’s videos. Like me, one of the mods answering this dumb question, we’re both British. How can he be a registered Democrat if he’s from Britain and our concerns are with the Tory’s and the goddamn Brexit aftermath.
