The parallels in the ending for s3 and the s1 first op..... Subaru was alone before, but now there are people ready to catch him when he falls
Also, even if only mimi (and ricardo's shoulder?) appears in the group shot, anastasia and julius' hands are there supporting subaru too (ana's on his shoulder blade next to otto's and julius on his waist)
Also reinhard holding subaru by the scruff of his neck like subaru's some kind of a cat lol
But I can't find joshua......
nah no matter what happens, q!Philza is just *that guy*
pretty much everyone trusts him, with both their own lives and the lives of their children
he can't walk around the server without running into someone who has declared themselves his kid and a good chunk of the server members have built their homes around his home to be close to him
so I'm sorry q!Philza, your house will always be the meeting point of the server and there forever be people chilling on your front lawn
Tallulah and Chayanne noticed that Philza takes pictures of everyone but there are no pictures of him, so they started taking pictures of Philza and they are good and really cute:
However, all of their photos have Philza with his wings out and so there is Photographic Evidence of Crow Wings just chilling in his photo album.
I see no way this could end poorly /j
hat
Thinking about how phil has the same insecurities as missa.
He isn't smart enough for the enigmas. He isn't strong enough to fight off the codes. All he thinks he's decent at is looking after his kids. So he sticks to what he knows. And the one time he makes a move against the federation? He's captured. Because he wasn't smart enough. And he can't escape because he isn't strong enough.
"I'm sorry you're father's a fucking idiot, Chayanne."
He said that after the scene where he pointed a gun at philza, philza sent him a message that said something like "that was so cool bro :D"
q!Phil's mental illness is portrayed so well
it's so clear that something is wrong, to everyone else and to himself but he will deny it forever. He won't admit something is wrong or that these things really are messing with his head
He can't. He just can't do it! it's nothing and he's fine and he isn't sure if he's a real person anymore but that can be fixed!!
He can just distract himself with small tasks and talking to people and accompanying Tubbo and Fit when they want to go somewhere. He can just venture out 300k blocks or go do dungeons or explore those places where he knows he really shouldn't go. There has to be something he can do. Something that will make him feel real again. Can't feel pain in a dream!
None of it was real so why does he feel like this? He's certain it isn't real, it couldn't be. But he doesn't feel real either. None of it is real. He isn't real. He's stuck in a never ending nightmare and he's never going to wake up and- god he needs to find something to do before he starts questioning things again.
He can check on Fit or go see someone else, it's a distraction, it stops him from thinking about everything. It stops the feelings and thoughts for a time but was that bird there a second ago? Is it real? Why is there a bird in a cage here?? What the fuck??? That's real, right? Yes. Okay, it is there. Why? He should take it home. He needs to go home. He'll catch up with the others later.
But he doesn't. He doesn't come back and nobody will notice and he knows that and it's okay it doesn't matter! He doesn't want to be bothered he needs to go to bed. He wishes his friends would check on him more.
He wonders how long it would take for someone other than Fit and Tubbo to notice if he disappeared. He doesn't want to think about it, he needs to go to sleep. He goes to the nest to sleep. It's nice out here.
So many people get emduo so wrong
Why do you forget that Phil is the out of control one. Techno is normal. Techno is sane and is violent when provoked or it is otherwise deserved. Techno's favourite thing to do is read books with all of the animals he tamed and let into his home out of the goodness of his heart.
Phil would kill you and your infant child without a second thought. For no reason. He would just kill the child, actually! He will burn entire civilizations to the ground on a random Friday afternoon because he felt like it
Techno will try desperately to stop this because he knows his bestie is fucking insane but he's Philza Minecraft and he can do no wrong. Not even God would condemn this man! He's too scared!!
During q!Phil and q!Fit's conversation yesterday I noticed a lot of similarities between their lore.
Both q!Fit and q!Phil are having dreams only they can see about someone very powerful contacting them.
On one hand you have q!Phil who knows the Ender King and what he is capable of. He is terrified of the possibility of him coming to the island or contacting him further because of what it could lead to.
He almost wishes the things he is experiencing aren't real because of this but feels like he's going crazy when he knows others can't see what he sees. q!Fit is the only one he has consistently told about his visions because he trusts him.
And on the other you have q!Fit who doesn't remember his contractor/entity's name but often refers to him as a "greater force" and is also very powerful. He has been sent to the island by him to gather info on a secret mission but is equally as worried as to what might happen if things go wrong.
However he can't tell q!Phil about his mission. He stated that "everyone would hate him" if they knew why he was really there. But he trusts q!Phil the most, as he showed his secret bedroom to him before his deep sleep.
BOTH are scared of the consequences.
BOTH are scared for their children and loved ones.
and BOTH trust each other and support each other during hard times.
It's so cool to see their lore kinda overlapping in a way AHHHHH :D
(Main context: QSMP is a multilingual minecraft multiplayer server with streamers playing and I specifically follow Philza but watch clips and read happenings from other streamers)
Good god help me I was going to just enjoy philza's qsmp portion of the stream but then apparently lore stuff happened and now the eggs are clashing. (I rambled way too much, so I'm putting it below oops)
Though the lore stuff is not something I dislike, my mind immediately honed in more on how the two eggs I watched QSMP for mostly ended up. Tbh, I started watching QSMP because I saw clips and animatics connecting Chayenne to Techno and then I think I started officially watching Wilbur's streams when Tallulah happened. Not immediately, but it was either the 2nd or 3rd stream with her.
Chayenne was one of the outgoing eggs, picking fights and jumping off of the wall his dads made a home on. Tallulah was the youngest at the time, I think, and was mostly sweet, gentle, loved flowers and music. Chayenne was one of the first eggs and iirc only 4 of the og batch remain. Wilbur left after making sure Philza could care for Tallulah, and Chayenne ended up needing to do the same considering he was the older kid that had more experience.
And then things got worse for the eggs. The code monsters, the kidnapping as people or groups organized shit, and then the eggs left thinking they would be protecting their parents after being threatened.
Chayenne ends up as one of, if not the main, leader of the eggs. Tallulah was known by most as "not a fighter". Needed to protect and needed to be protected respectively. Their dynamic was almost always like this. Chayenne was cared for by his dads of course, but Missa has irl stuff to do and Philza needed to give Tallulah more attention since she needed help. Tallulah has been missing her father for months now- even if the server cared for her, she wasn't their special person. She felt like someone that needed pity and was given it- not like as if they would've cared otherwise...
I'm going all over the place but despite it somewhat feeling sudden how they acted in the recent stream, I feel like I can understand mostly what was going on with them switching in choices. Tallulah used to want love and peace- she's tired of being "useless" and a "burden" for not being able to fight. Chayenne used to be one of the reckless eggs- he's exhausted from being given most of the responsibility whenever they're in danger.
He's tired from all of the action. She's tired from all the inaction.
Chayenne wants to fucking rest for once in his life, meanwhile Tallulah wants to actually help fighting for once in her life.
They got separated before/during Purgatory.
Tallulah had to survive with Dapper and Ramon who seemed to be closer friends with each other and Tallulah maybe envied their bond. But they're still siblings and so she cares deeply about Dapper being kept hostage right now. She frustrated over bonds people get to have because she can't connect with them when she doesn't even have a real pillar to stand on. Missed her dad so much that even with the family he left her with, she doesn't feel like she belongs. She just wants her dad back with her but she's changed. She's scared. She wants to be useful and actually do something so that people don't see her as a weakling anymore.
Chayenne was perceived as one of the stronger eggs. He had to keep calm and focus on keeping everyone safe. He was stuck for however long without even knowing if Tallulah was still alive. He was cared for by Phil and Missa and then Missa needed to leave while Phil had to figure out how to take care of Tallulah with Chayenne. He wouldn't necessarily blame his dads, but a kid wants attention. A kid would love to feel special care from their parents more. But no, Chayenne needed to push aside his wants because others need more care and protection. Maybe not intentionally forced by others into the leader role, but he got into the role and people listened, so people started perceiving him as the one in charge if things happened to the eggs. But it's not like he's immune from all the bullshit they've been going through just because he's not acting out like some others. He's been carrying a heavy weight on his shoulders by staying in the protector role. He loves his siblings and wants them safe, but he's tired and wants to be cared for back instead of simply being looked up to as a leader. He doesn't want pure idolization or criticisms in doing his "job"- he just. He needs a break.
Philza, god bless him, the man's gotta deal with all this bullshit happening on the island while still caring for his eggs. The kids say he's a wonderful dad while Phil says he's been shit at it if he didn't notice them feeling this way or not caring sooner. He does care, but Rose told him he needed to recover his lost courage for a reason. He's understandably terrified of everything that could kill the eggs, that could kill or take him away from being able to be with his kids again, but he needs to regain the confidence he once had in himself to be able to face things stronger too. But that's... It feels bad saying things like that.
Like father like son, I guess. They both just want to rest. But Tallulah's tired of being given rest. That's what most people seem to tell her to do while everyone else goes off to do all the important shit. She can't do the important things because she "can't" fight. She's changed. Chayenne's change. God, Philza's changed from what the Ender King and Rose saw of him before QSMP.
I don't know a solution for this, I don't think a solution could be easily made when there are factors outside of this family's control affecting them. I know they talked it out by the end, but I'm still worried yet intrigued by how things might continue on. The dynamic between the two eggs just tickles my brain in the fun way. I don't think I tend to focus so hard on things that aren't my own OCs- usually I take what happens in a thing and use it as inspiration for my own stuff. But these two are just... I want them to be okay in the end. I want to see Tallulah being allowed to be the strong badass she wants to prove herself to be while still accepting that people care for her in a way that they'd be willing to risk a lot for her too. I want to see Chayenne being allowed to relax, to take the backseat and have fun while not needing to worry about shit messing up their entire lives. I want to see Philza being able to take the kids on adventures and just being able to have a good time with them without the terror of everything threatening their damn lives.
I want for them to be okay and they're trying. Damn it, they're trying as much as they can to be okay for everyone else too.
