I think part of what makes Gentlecheese work is that both of them like attention/power but they get it in radically different ways and so they don’t overshadow the other.  That’s part of why Mr Cheese doesn’t date someone more like himself, because it would take attention away from his personality and character.  He wouldn’t want another Mr Cheese like-person taking attention from him.  And vice versa with Gentleman.  
          	Now of course they also genuinely love each other but think that’s why they work.  They’re fine with sharing the spotlight with each other because they’re so different in what that spotlight looks like.

@MoonsandHeavens oooo yes definitely especially with Mr Cheese leaning into different aspects of himself in different episodes like the cool douchebag thing, the ruthless killer, the innocent crewmate, they contain multitudes I love them

@thegaycandlestick-2 that’s a good way of putting it… I was talking more visually/surface-level, like no matter what their underlying motivations were, however those two things do reflect on each other anyway.  I think they both somewhat want to be admired and feared, though, but overall I agree, like Gentleman wants respect and power and Mr Cheese wants status in general.  
          	  And going even deeper in motivation I think they both feel the need to control how others see them due to insecurity/fear of judgement

@MoonsandHeavens omg wait you’re so right like The Gentleman likes feeling important and fancy and respected and Mr Cheese likes feeling like a star and being admired/feared while still being silly so there’s like no overlap you cooked

I have decided the “In Case I Make It” album by Will Wood is Mr Cheese’s album.  Literally it’s all perfect for him.. especially ‘The Main Character’ as his more confident/villianous side and ‘Against The Kitchen Floor’ for his more depressing side.   LITERALLY the album art is the moon as made of cheese.  The Normal Album by Will Wood also Mr Cheese-coded tbh

thegaycandlestick-2

@MoonsandHeavens I should start listening to Will wood

Thinking about ‘I want You To Love Me’ by Fiona Apple as about Mr Egg talking about TheGentleman… 
          Here are the first verse and the most relevant in my opinion btw but I do recommend listening to it!!
          
          I've waited many years
          Every print I left upon the track
          Has led me here
          And next year, it'll be clear
          This was only leading me to that
          And by that time, I hope that
          
          You love me
          You love me

Is it too much to have a ‘music that reminds me of Mr cheese’ playlist, a ‘music that Mr cheese would like’ playlist, ‘music that reminds me of Gentlecheese’ playlist and ‘music that reminds me of the gentleman’ playlist?  Probably buttt

Peachykeen58

@MoonsandHeavens I get this sm because there’s so many songs that remind me of characters or I’d think they listen to

Does anyone have a headcanon gentleman dad name I can borrow?? Or is there a popular fanon one??

thegaycandlestick-2

@MoonsandHeavens Yessss I love when the two names coexist but they all still call each other by their usual names cause it's what they're used to anyway

@thegaycandlestick-2 REAL lol honestly I personally hc and love the idea that they do all have normalish human names but they all choose randomly to go by silly ones and all of them respect it

@MoonsandHeavens lmao true but to be fair the other characters are named Mr Cheese and The Gentleman like there’s some suspension of disbelief at work here

The action story I posted a few days ago started out as a fic I had an idea for where Mr cheese goes missing for, like, 10 years and is presumed dead by everyone.  I wrote some of it and omg it HURTS like the gentleman has moved on and most of his friends and moved away and it’s basically an exercise in torturing myself but I’m so interested in the concept… the depression and alienation from everything, escaping only to find the world has been moved on, and also from gentleman’s perspective, loving two people, one of whom you thought was gone, and feeling like you need to choose and not even being able to be happy without so much pain and guilt.  I can’t even write it because it’s too depressing  and it would take 5 million years

@MoonsandHeavens it woulddd I live for the drama and hehe thank you I try

@thegaycandlestick-2 ikr it’s so heartbreaking.  Also at first I just imagined it as a random person, but I think it would be insanely more dramatic if it was Mr egg and gentleman had left Mr egg for Mr cheese previously.  And omg the way you worded that first part is so devastating

thegaycandlestick-2

@MoonsandHeavens omg stop can you imagine coming back and it’s like everyone has stopped looking for you everyone has accepted you’re gone everyone has gone through the five stages of grief and come out the other end fine even to the love of your life you exist only in memory. Is the new person Mr Egg because that would be sm worse like Mr Cheese coming back and it’s like The Gentleman has moved on with the better version of him and Mr Egg seeing Mr Cheese come back and seeing how similar they are wondering if The Gentleman only loved him because he reminded him of Mr Cheese omgggg

(Cutely) I wrote an action story (using Mr Cheese) on a whim, it’s short so I wanted to put it here and had to copy and paste it
          
          
          Mr Cheese crawled away on bleeding knees.  
          
          The impact of the fall sent radiating pain throughout his body.  He kept going, even as greenery shoved itself into his wounds and made the sting worse.
          
          Mr Cheese's only motivation was getting away from the car.  He noticed the trees thickening around him and realized he shouldn't stray too far from the road.  He was somewhere other people were.
          
          He changed his direction, although it took effort.  He tried to stand up, and got half way up. 
          
          Behind the layer of trees he'd dragged himself through was the road, and he caught glimpses of the asphalt every few drags of his feet.  
          
          His hand still held the flimsy string that had saved his life.  He grasped the simple thing like a good luck charm.
          
          Mr Cheese felt rumbling in the ground.  A different car going drove past him.  The reverberation and the pain of lost hope sent shockwaves through his body and blood poured from his mouth. 
          
          He was somewhere other people were.
          
          Mr Cheese tried to get closer to the road, even though he knew visibility was a double-edged sword.   
          
          The world hadn't been kind, but hopefully, the people who would find him were.
          
          Mr Cheese had no idea how much time passed.  Another car drove past him.  He believed he was going to die.  He kept going.  
          
          The next car stopped.  
          
          Mr Cheese gripped the string between his fingers.  Someone had seen him.  Pathetically, his resolve went out at the first sign of help.  The last thing he saw was the trail of red leading away from him.
          
          The people had been kind.  He woke up in a hospital, a real one.
          
          It wasn't difficult to give him medical help.
          
          However, the staff, the records, the police, all agreed something was wrong.
          
          Because Mr Cheese was a dead man.

@thegaycandlestick-2 yeah editing would be silly, ill think about it lol it might depend on how much motivation I have to write more and how long I think it’ll be

@MoonsandHeavens posting them all in the one shot book could be good, or maybe posting the first one there and then making a separate book for the whole thing so more people get hooked? You could absolutely just make it one long one chapter book lol I personally hate editing chapters so I wouldn’t do it and it could be confusing for people who want to keep up but it could still technically work
