The Cartoon Effect
Before getting into the historical monument of Cartoonization, remember the 3 truths of soda:
When the Supreme Carbonator hit the face of the planet in Year 202, the soda particles that immediately broke off and infinitely dispersed around the world created a global phenomenon known as The Cartoon Effect.
With The Cartoon Effect, everyone and everything on instantaneously transformed into sudden cartoonized versions of themselves at the exact moment that the Supreme Cartonator made contact with Pop Planet. It was both an awe-striking and horrifying event that inevitably led to the global –I mean, how would you react if you and everything around you were suddenly 3D no more?
Soda Forms
These 2D, funky looking characters that every Pop Planeteer transformed into are known as “Soda Forms.” Soda Forms are the physical, cartoonized manifestations of your truest self, or alternatively, your most desired self. Whether your Soda Form reflects your inner truth or your inner desires is dependent on the most prominent pillar of your soul, which is ultimately determined by another factor: nostalgia.
The formulation of one’s soul depends on how one perceives their past, present, and future, and whether or not the relationship with one’s nostalgia leaves them feeling more to be desired. Oftentimes, a Pop Planeteer’s Soda Form is heavily impacted by their past moreso than the latter options, because the essence of nostalgia begins in the past. It is to be noted, however, that the present and future must also be taken into consideration, as the past decides what unfolds in the present and the future.
The Cartoon Effect
Before getting into the historical monument of Cartoonization, remember the 3 truths of soda:
- Soda is the current that reveals the universe’s deepest truths and desires.
- The appearance of one’s Soda Form is decided on which pillar of their soul is the strongest: their most innocent truths, or their deepest wants and desires.
- Soda is a vessel of nostalgia. One’s own childhood and memories often shape what defines the strength of their truths and desires. Soda draws its power on the earliest experiences that shape every living being.
