#also zam being implied to be intimidated by parrot murdering this whole layer

[sympathytea]

If you haven't seen my first Parrot post (which is fair its. in a weird spot and was a pain to post) here you go New season! New bullshit! Parrot I know what you are. (S2 spoilers below)

So Evbo finally decided to pay Parrot a visit, and it reveals a decent amount of information. Lets analyze.

[Transcript Start]

Evbo (Narrating): So instead, I think its time we bury the hatchet- or bury the axe in PVP Civilization terms- with Parrot. Because I think its about time I forgave him. Evbo (to Parrot): It doesn't look like you're too shocked to see I have a diamond sword. Parrot: If you've got a diamond sword that must mean you've came here from the outside. So that means Tabi won...but she let you live. Evbo: (Sighs) You are..right about that. She did win. Just like you predicted in your message. I just wished I could've realized what was happening sooner. If I did, then maybe the Eternal Sword would still be here and we wouldn't all be in danger.

Parrot: You're not the one to blame. No one in your position would've expected you to stop Tabi. Honestly, its a miracle you're still alive. I should be the one to apologize. I should've warned you sooner. And because of that, my civilization will pay for the consequences of my actions. You see, the Bows, Axes and Tridents never attacked each other. But each one of them knew that whoever obtained the Eternal Sword first would seek to wipe out every civilization. (Sighs) I can't say for certain how long we have, but the Axes are the most ruthless civilization of them all. So its safe to assume they won't hesitate to attack. Evbo: Wait- I don't get it. I thought all of the civilizations were against the Swords. So why would Tabi and the Axes attack the other civilizations?

Parrot: Each civilization holds their own Eternal Weapon. If one civilization were to collect all five, there would be no stopping them.

Evbo: (Sighs) This is just great. I didn't just cause the downfall of the Swords, but I guess I caused the downfall of the whole world. That is unless I stop her, right? If I can go to the other civilizations and stop Tabi from getting all 5 Eternal Weapons I mean- there's still a chance! Unfortunately me being a Diamond Sword kinda makes that complicated. Parrot: The only way you'll have a chance of surviving in another civilization is by getting another weapon, but I can help you with that. Evbo: Lets go! I'm gonna be able to get another weapon!? Okay! Sounds like a plan. Wait- Hold on- I actually need your help with something. And before you say no, you owe me.

[Transcript End]

Alright so a few things to unpack there. Parrot is acting as a supportive friend here, which is fair. He's also blaming himself for not warning Evbo sooner. He also seems somewhat aware that he just put the Bow Civilization in critical danger. Not great. Something interesting though. That I'm unsure was mentioned beforehand.

So in case we've forgotten. Here's what we're working with in terms of confirmed weapons (minus shields which. don't seem to be classified as a weapon)

Parrot mentions there being Five eternal weapons. We see Four civilizations on the map from the diamond sword layer and Four actual weapons. Assuming the Axes already have their own Eternal Weapon already, that would mean the Axes would only have to collect Three weapons. They already collected the Eternal Sword so..that means they would need two more right? But that doesn't add up to five. Assuming that they're implying Shields have their own Eternal "Weapon" (Probably a shield) that leaves us at...four. Huh?

I saw somewhere that Evbo forgot about the mace's entire existence (but who knows maybe he'll surprise me) so thats probably not the 5th weapon. So that leaves us with...

...Horrifying. Imagining Evbo running around with that loaded with firework rockets. Dear god. Anyway that's not what this post is about. I just thought it was funny. Back to Parrot's shenanigans. Evbo apparently has to be the one to forgive Parrot. And also Parrot "Owes him" for...something. So its safe to assume that. Something happened there when they went to go do murder on the whole iron sword layer. So that leaves me to assume: Parrot suggested the murder of the iron sword layer. And Evbo is covering for him. And Evbo was the actual assistant in this. Probably a crackshot theory, but I'm going off of memory and the stuff I have already written. Its either that or Evbo specifically wasn't forgiving Parrot for..not revealing his weapon type immediately? Which nobody else did either until Zam decided to commit "A Throwaway Joke" and run away so...hm. Idk about that. Feels weird to have to forgive the guy that literally gave you the heads up about a betrayal over that, right? That's why I think its something more than that.

Speaking of weird things Parrot is up to. The yellow elephant in the room.

You knew I was absolutely going to talk about this. Hoo boy. Some implications.

First off: Parrot could easily kill Zam right here. Zam quite literally just made himself unarmed. But he doesn't. Pretty sure these two were actually on the same side, and thats why Parrot wasn't trying to help Evbo out of the prison. Second: Zam's phrasing "I want to know why you're the only one still alive." Someone might say "Oh he's talking about how Parrot is the only bow left from his civilization because Tabi killed them!" WRONG. Zam does NOT know that right now. He's been stuck in Sword Civilization and the Diamond Swords would absolutely kick his ass considering it would be a 4v1. He does NOT have outsider info. There's no implication that he has actually seen whats happening outside. You know what this is about though? The fucking massacre on the iron sword layer. Its Empty. And Evbo confirms this in his narration! Quote: "Its not like there's anyone there to fight him.(Parrot)" WE HAVE A CONFESSION. IN VIDEO. IT WAS NOT JUST A FEW PEOPLE. THE ENTIRE LAYER IS GONE. oh i love this series so much

But yeah. I fully support the idea of Parrot being yet another antagonist. The quiet type that hides this shit in the background and manages to scare another antagonist. One that literally has immortality. Or at least implied to still have it because why wouldn't he go back and hit the armor stand after retrieving his trident? But yeah I need. I need more of whatever their dynamic is. Zam and Parrot are fascinating together rn. What did they get up to assuming they were infact, on the same side during the prison arc. And I honestly think Evbo in some sense, knows these two worked together. That's probably the most likely contender for what Evbo "forgave" Parrot of. Ahhhh layers !!
