Before I go to bed, here is a late night rant:

Q!Tubbo is such an interesting character. Tubbo, himself, has gotten the full QSMP experience in a way the rest of the new players haven't. We all joked about him having Brazilian energy, but he literally does lmao. He rolled up just like the Brazilians did all that time ago and just made himself completely at home in the story by complete accident.

I do think he got a special chance because Tubbo streams everyday and Phil went to Brighton to film Sorry videos the week after Tubbo joined. Tubbo got the chance to spend time taking care of the eggs and being their primary caretaker for a week in a way none of the other new players have gotten which has shaped his character a fair amount.

He is so invested in the eggs and they aren't even his kids you know. I haven't finished his VOD from today but I saw a clip of him spinning the wheel and the lava dropping on him. He tried to save Chayannes floatie immediately and the despair in his face at watching the lava fall on the items was intense as well. He had those eggs for less than a week and he got to know them in ways that only the rest of the islanders that have been there for MONTHS have.

It's just such an interesting dynamic to see. Q!Tubbo is also the youngest outside of the eggs which plays a lot into his character. He questions q!Fit because q!Fits involvement in other things that he can't share and q!Tubbo doesn't understand that. Q!Tubbo still has an innocence to his character that most of the islanders have lost over time which is really interesting to see.

In general, cc!Tubbo also just gets along really well with everyone so far. He's become a cemented part of the early gang with Fit, Pac, Foolish and the various others that join early in the day. His dynamic with q!Fit and q!Phil has been a lot of fun to watch because he pushes q!Fits character more than most of the islanders have and it's always interesting to see q!Phil with his closest friends/family.

Idk it's just refreshing to see. He's just accidently walked himself into this crazy experience that the QSMP is and immediately got invested. There's a strong level of relatablity there too that hasn't quite been around the same way since the beginning of the egg event.

How did Pearl react to Marina's first transformation?

She’s very confused, but at least Marina is comfortable with her right off the bat!

Vanitas' character analysis

Hiiii again, we are two days away from the Vanitas no carte back so it's a good moment to share this little analysis I made like... 3 weeks ago (I know, I am the worst, let me be).

.

This is from the start of the Catacombs arc, when Vanitas is laying in the roof waiting for a late hour:

When I read this in the manga, I understood it as if he was just watching the button, looking tired for what he is about to do (visit the chasseaurs, Moreau, etc) and going to rest.

But then the anime aired. And they added this extra frames:

The focus isn't only in the button (as happens in the manga), but in the moon and it is reflection in the button too!

The first time you see it, you don't have context, but after a second round you can understand the exhaustion in Vanitas eyes (the anime didn't make it so remarkable as the manga):

In addition, thanks to the latest arc, we learn about Vani's past with Misha and Luna and how meaningful the moon became to Vanitas:

Then Misha remember the day Luna died and this is what he remember about Vani:

When Vanitas looks to the moon it's not only him looking to a giant rock from far away, he is looking directly to a representation of Luna (his savior and the person that doomed him to carry her mark).

So, coming back to this two frames I love very much:

I think it is a very poetic visualization of Vanitas's mind in that moment. He remembering his past; how he was trained as chasseur, how he was taken as a guinea pig for Moreau and how Luna arrived to his life.

Luna represented by the moon, Moreau represented by the button and all of it fused with the light of the moon being reflected in that little metal piece to make Vanitas remember the day he met the Blue Moon:

.

.

.

All of this makes me wonder if that bittersweet memories make Vanitas' feel more good or bad, since all his relationship with Luna is a spectrum from absolute hate to complicated love. I wonder if he thought in that roof about Luna to find strength for what he had to do (confront Moreau again) or if he was looking for determination in his mission to destroy Luna...

Also, a little detail I point out because some people didn't see it:

Vanitas' pocket watch

Misha's pocket watch

Basically, a present to both from Luna. That Misha has it yet isn't weird since he adores Luna, but Vanitas... It's another hint of his love to Luna.

Also, and with this I stop I swear, look Vanitas' face after looking to the watch. Tell me what's in your mind baby, don't be shy and stop being so mysterious.

Famous Last Words

Whumptober 21st

[coughing up blood | "You're safe now." | "Take Me Instead."] (tw: character death, murder, gun, kidnapping, torture, creepy/intimate whumper)

“Really? You’re going to trade yourself for this-“ Whumper paused to boot Whumpee in the side “-pathetic little thing?”

Caretaker’s jaw set. Fingers flexed and re-curled at their sides. “..Yes.”

Whumper scoffed half an amused laugh, eyes raking slowly down Caretaker’s body. “…I suppose that would be a good deal.” They took a step to the side, prowling in a slow circle around Caretaker. Drinking them in. Scrutinizing. Pondering. “You’re much less…well...….broken.”

Caretaker almost twitched, but managed to stay still. Their eyes stayed glued on Whumpee, ignoring the circling threat. Trying to relay to Whumpee that it will be okay.

But Whumpee wasn’t even looking at them - they were just curled in a ball on the ground, trembling. Silent but for the hiccuping sobs or the sputters of coughing that left their hand flecked with red.

“Do we have a deal or not?” The words were spat. Half forced.

Caretaker tried not to about how long it would take before they were the ones mindlessly sobbing on the ground.

That was a question for another time.

So long as Whumpee was safe, it would be okay.

Whumper hummed, considering as they stepped behind Caretaker.

Arms slipped around Caretaker’s waist, tucking their chin onto Caretaker’s shoulder. “..well it is an intriguing offer…..”

Caretaker’s skin crawled under the touch, muscles squirming in a desperate attempt to wriggle away.

Caretaker didn’t let them.

They forced themself still, tight breaths straining against their ribs. Desperately trying not to let their their breath betray their fear.

They did anyway, breath hitching as Whumper’s fingers bit into their ribs.

Evidently they were supposed to respond.

Twitching, Caretaker hissed, “Is that a yes?”

Whumper chuckled softly, turning to nuzzle softly behind Caretaker’s ear, pulling a shiver from them.

“You really wanna be mine?”

Their hands balled to fists, itching and begging Caretaker to shove this creature off of them.

Their eyes screwed shut in the focus it took to not do that. “I just want Whu-“

Pain flared up their side as Whumper’s nails bit in, brushing hard between their ribs and pulling a hiss from their throat. “I didn’t ask about them. I asked what you want.” Their lips pressed to Caretaker’s ear, warm breath ticking across it. “Do you want to be mine?”

Caretaker took a few shaky breaths despite how they ground Whumpers grip deeper. They couldn’t say no. Frustration and shame and rage built up inside them, burning through their lungs and up their neck.

But they couldn’t say no.

“..y-es.”

They felt Whumper’s lips spread into a smile against them.

“Good.”

Whumper shifted, grip relenting. Caretaker accepted the reward, taking a deep, though admittedly shuddering, breath. They grit out a simple “..what now?”

Whumper shrugged against them, one arm retreating completely. “Just what you wanted. Letting poor, sweet, Whumpee go.”

Caretaker twitched as a pistol entered their field of vision, gesturing lazily toward Whumpee. “Come on, Whumpee,” Whumper cooed, “You’re being let go.”

Caretaker…almost relaxed.

Almost.

Hard to relax when there’s a gun pointed at your friend, even if it’s just insurance they find their way to the door without issue.

Whumpee lifted their head, arms unwrapping enough that they could peek up at the pair. Tears were dripping down their face, smeared fully so all of them shining and shimmering with each hicupling breath. “R-rrr-really-?”

Caretaker gave them a small, encouraging nod. You can get up - you're safe now.

“Mhm,” Whumper hummed, gripping the handle a little firmer as Whumpee started move.

Whumpee's head lifted further. They stared up at Whumper - eyes incredulous and wary, but sparked with a tiny flare of hope.

The gunshot rang against Caretaker’s ears, screaming even as the echo in the room faded to Whumpee’s writhing chokes of air.

Only for a moment.

Then the breaths stopped.

Just the occasional twitch of muscle in the carnage.

Caretaker was frozen in Whumper’s grip. Staring.

Unable to move.

Breath stopped.

Slowly, their mind caught up, beginning to comprehend what they’d just seen. Red splattered the ground behind Whumpee - all the way to the wall. Bits of pink and grey were..-

“..no-“

They twitched forward, trying to help, to-

“Ah ah- You made your choice.” The barrel of the gun pressed hard up under their jaw, locking their muscles into place again.

“You’re mine, now.”

'Pink Matter' by Frank Ocean ft. Andre 3000 you agree.

If i told you how many times I've cried to this song you'd laugh (or pour one out in sympathy most likely). Pretty sure it was on my yearly top 50.

That last "my God, she's giving meeee~ PLEEEEAAAAASUREEEE, pleasure, PLEASURE, pleasure! PleeEEEeaaasure over matteeeer~"

AJEGSKSBEH I WANNA BE LOVED LIKE THAT!! Cotton candy??? Majin buu ??? AUGH

And of course my boy André absolutely killed it as per usual 😔 Everybody should start showing some extra respect to him cus man's ALWAYS delivers. Butter knife, what a life, anyway??? And this whole next bit:

She had the kind of body that would probably intimidate Any of 'em that were un-southern, not me, cousin If models are made for modelin' Thick girls are made for cuddlin' Switch worlds and we can huddle then Who needs another friend? I need to hold your hand You'd need no other man, we'd flee to other lands

GAISHAHSHS WHAT IS THIS?? Scratches my brain (and my 😺) soooo good.
