!!SPOILERS + TW FOR MENTIONS OF @BU$3/TR@UM@!!




















MePhone4.

He literally represents all of the writers, artists, and creators in general who have ocs. Especially young creators.

So many of us in the world. Abused from a young age. So we start to create our own fictional worlds in our heads with our own fictional characters in order to cope. We give those characters names. Ages. Personalities. And all other traits. And we obviously expect them to act *exactly* as we made them, since, after all, *they are not real, are they?* We make them have many flaws and traumatised, because we ourselves are. Because seeing characters going through the same pain as us and imagining how we're having various different experiences is the only hope that some of us have at times.

We're also protective of our characters sometimes. We feel personally insulted when our characters are by anyone else other than us. They feel like our own children.

And MePhone4 is *exactly the same.* Tormented by the person who made him and who he used to trust. Creating characters and molding them to what he wants them to be like. He becomes protective of them when someone (especially like Cobs) talks to them badly.

When people (who are creators) judge MePhone4 for being like this, they technically judge themselves. Because most of them are *exactly the same as him.*

And Cobs. Cobs represents something like a parent figure in my eyes. A parent figure who thinks all of this is stupid. Who decides to take everything into their own control in order to stop all of the "non-sense" from their child, because they refuse to admit that they're wrong. They refuse to admit that it might've all been their fault, and that they're now taking away the only thing their child could cope with.

And basically the entire situation. MePhone4 loses all of his contestants because they got deleted. They got deleted because *they are clearly not real.*

***They are not real.***

He's like a kid that's forced to realize that their characters are not real. Not that they didn't know it already, but it's often hard to believe that something that you grew up with and gave you hope is not actually true...

And he is forced to believe it now. To go back to how it was. When he doesn't want to.


dont mind the "*"s im too lazy to fix those-
