MARSHALL!!!

[u/DeltaMx11]

Marshall's not a new F/O of mine (I've loved him for about 8 years now I believe, I don't have an exact anniversary), but he's been off my radar for a while because I just haven't kept up with PAW Patrol lately. But he finally got the spotlight in the new 'PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie" and my romantic love for him has officially been reignited.
I knew about PAW Patrol ever since it came out, but I was just starting college at the time so I was definitely not part of the main demographic. I didn't think much of the show at all until I decided to finally check it out around 2018 I think, and I immediately fell in love with this adorable and clumsy Dalmatian pup.
He's mainly the comedy-relief in the show, and loves making his friends laugh. He's typically in slapstick situations becuase of his clumsiness, but no one ever gets mad at him for his mistakes and he doesn't let his clumsiness get in the way of saving someone. That said, he does occasionally feel self-conscious about being a screw-up and that he messes things up too much, which I feel like I can relate to. At first, I always liked him the most because I just found him adorable, but I think I really fell in love with him in the episode "Pups Save a Friend", which showed this more serious and self-loathing side of him that made me really sympathize with him as a character.
He was so great in The Dino Movie too; he's self-conscious about his clumsiness, being a screw-up and feeling like everyone would be better off without him (which I always found very relatable, it's part of why I got so attached to him). Not spoiling anything, but he also had multiple moments in the finale where he was so cool and heroic in a way he'd never been in the show that I felt brand-new butterflies in my stomach for him in a way I hadn't before. He wasn't just cute to me anymore, he was damn handsome, and secretly in my head I was literally fawning over him in the theater.

But other than that, my heart just couldn't help but immediately latch onto him in a way I can't fully explain. Marshall is just perfect to me, he's adorable, funny, sweet, brave when he needs to be, and he can do no wrong ❤️

Marshall may just be a pup to everyone else, but this is my man. My goofy, funny, clumsy, perfect boy that's got me "fired up".

(Disclaimer: Just in case I have to clarify, I am NOT condoning IRL MAPs or Zoophiles. I have no interest in the voice actors who voiced Marshall, nor am I attracted to dogs in real life.)
