It’s been a while but TPOT 10 was SO interesting I absolutely have to say Something about it. I would love to go through each team and talk individually about their nightmares but for starters there’s one that Really caught my eye

So for this most recent challenge Two puts one person from each team to sleep to have a nightmare that reflects a fear of theirs with the intention of bringing the teams closer together by having the other team mates save them from it. We’re not given a ton of information on the specifics of this fear from Two. At no point do they say that they’re making them face their Worst fear, but later contestants like Winner and Book come to refer to the subject of their dreams as their personal nightmare outside of a dream sense so we can assume that even if it’s not their worst fear, it is a pretty pressing concern.

These nightmares are Really interesting insights into the worries of some of the characters, and also the responses that their teammates had. It also gave us a lot of really great information that we didn’t previously have, like Winner’s backstory, which a lot of people have been waiting for

While I was excited to see all of the nightmares, nothing stood out to me quite like Barfbag’s. Which I think told us the most about her and her team, despite the lack of obvious attention that it got and I really want to talk about it

Barfbag’s nightmare

The dream opens with the top of Barfbag’s head huge and exposed to her teammates, with different substances in containers above her. Her teammates are confused by what it means, but the substances cause Pin to immediately jump into action, pouring a container of caffeine into her.

The caffeine immediately effects her, which is when Gaty connects the dots as to what the nightmare is about

This is the last time that the actual substance of her fears are acknowledged, as Pin suggests they “commit to the nightmare” and use the substances to wake her up. This is fascinating to me because it shows a clear disregard for Barfbag’s feelings and confirms that this is something she has reason to be afraid of

Barfbag has had to struggle a lot because she is made out of barf. Going so far back as to the first three episodes of BFB, in which she was continuously ridiculed and hurt by the people around her because of cruel assumptions they made about her being stupid because she’s full of vomit

And later in BFB when she’s filled with water for the first time, and she feels much better than she normally does, implying that being full of vomit does actually make her feel very sick

And in the second to most recent TPOT episode (as of now) TPOT 9, where she was turned into a zombie because of what other people put inside, causing a zombie outbreak

This is something she’s shown to have a lot of guilt over now, becoming immediately clear at the beginning of TPOT 10 where she’s hiding from the rest of her team due to fear that they will retaliate against her for the events of TPOT 9, even though she had no active influence in any of those events. Her body was forcibly changed without her knowledge, and she had no ability to stop it. And yet her fellow contestants like Black Hole actively blame her for it.

Barfbag’s existence as a Barf Bag clearly makes her very vulnerable. I’m really glad to see TPOT addressing this reality as something that she’s actively very scared of. And on top of that I think the lack of self awareness regarding this fear among her team mates is Fascinating.

Immediately upon realizing her fear, her teammates exploit it with no care to her feelings about it. And while it works for the challenge, it shows a very clear issue about the lack of respect that people have for barfbag.

I really like the direction that TPOT seems to be going in regards to barfbag and I hope to see this get elaborated on in the future!

I randomly saw a post relating to BarfPop and very bad memories came into my mind

I get toxic yuri and I don’t care for TacoMic and Test X Cabby (yearly season them)

But I really dislike BarfPop

It makes me uncomfortable…

I hate it

It’s yucky to me

I hate it

It’s gross

All puns intended

But it’s just really gross

I hate them together

Yay Toxic yuri but like

PillowBook? FreeSmart? TacoBell? WoodBlock? Idk

I just hate BarfPop ,X0

It makes me uncomfortable

Toxic Yuri, big yay

But I really hate BarfPop

FlowerPop, maybe? not BarfPop.

No

Even merely reading the ship name makes my brain hurt

I don’t like it :(

Pin, being one of the strongest creatures on earth if she needs, is unable to get rough or she basically pulps anyone she tries it on. Needle is so fast it's never satisfying. Pie just gets overstimulated and explodes. Pen is a biter and eraser likes it rough. Snowball is too cold and Firey is the opposite. Lightning would straight up kill you. Fanny hates intimacy( I don't know if this is true but she screams it loud enough to not doubt.) . Stapy cannot control his stapling in passion but would otherwise be amazing at sex. Leafy would be clingy after you tried and never stop trying to be next to you at all costs. Balloony would be good but is to fragile for anything intense. Taco already smells like dead fish. If you can get over the stank go for it. Barf bag would be one of the best despite the whole stank business. Coiny is probably your best bet. He's endlessly supportive.

Anon, please, you had me enraptured at “one of the strongest creatures on earth”

Best bfb team.. I miss them 🙁

I wasn't about to redraw Barfbag or Gelatin so they're a little goofy

[readalyavailabletaggy]

i think “Lo-Fi Beats to Yoyle To” is one of my favorite not episode bfdi videos (is it a short? i guess its moreso a music video) purely because of how comfy it is and the slice of life-y ness of it. “its not canon-“ I DONT CARE SHOOTING U WITH MY EVIL LASER!!! um anyway yeah under the cut is me analyzing multiple scenes from it. i wont be looking into every single one but a lot of them

THE FIRST SCENE and its already a banger. even tho we dont see this hypothetical “team ice cube room” ever outside of this (yeah yeah not canon) it still is so interesting to like. think about. i cant remember how many times we’ve seen objects fall asleep at night but. i love how gelatin has a biiig sleep bubble thats him colored (does it taste like jelly??) AND. FIREY JR. SLEEPS IN A SOCK. thats adorable. anyway yeah even if its a reference to the lofi girl i really like how donut is, presumebly, writing in his diary? late at night with lofi music on? thats so cute. i also love how you can see a picture of bomby and a statue of ice cube on the top shelf

THIS SCENE is awesome too - we never really saw the big staircase outside of bfb 1 & 11 but i love the idea so much that it became a hangout spot for the objects! (in bfb 11x it even has graffiti on it after its first appearance in bfb 1, which is such a cool detail and goes to show the lived-in ness which i adore and this short does so well. and rhat isnt even in this video!! the point im making - bring back the big staircase. where did it go) even flower and bomby, characters who we never saw interact and are on different teams are listening to music together and eating bananas. thats so awesome, i love the idea that the contestants are way more chill with eachother when not competing? everything revolves around the competition which makes sense, but i love these little moments

next up! first off i love the lighting here, it seems to be at sunrise or sunset with the orange sky which is SO interesting cuz. we never see sunrise or sunset in the show!!!! its always just day or night. its crazy how they excluded the best time of day. anyway i love how:

- bell’s just vibing on her own!! it makes sense ig considering she can fly anywhere

-book’s seemingly watching bell? lesbian behavior

-GOLFBALL SHES JUST. doodling on her piece of paper thats adorable. i love seeing objects do the things they like!!!

i also really like how we see one of the paper airplanes. we see them in bfb 13 which is awesome too but seeing the stuff from prior challenges is so cool and i love the continuity

OMG ITS THE BFDI (Burried forest, deciduously insulated) again!!! i love seeing this thing, its similar to the paper airplanes or staircase where its so cool to see things which are one-off moments/objects/places in episodes, seeing them multiple times really helps flesh out the world. ALSO. naily and barfbag playing/vibing in the water. thats so adorable

the next scene is one where we see a few bleh members in their room from bfb 12 - once again going back to it being so cool to see places from other challenges!! (even if it appears to be the case that four just made and destroyed them for the episode.)

as you can SEE i specifically chose to highlight taco here. SHES JUST DRAWING A PICTURE OF HERSELF AND LABELING IT ME??? thats so cute i love her for that

AND HERE we have pin vibing in the goiky canal(?) in one of the boats. this is so awesome i love seeing the bfdi boats reappear and i love how pin’s just chilling. love her for that

LAST ONE i want to go over: oh my GOD?? ITS LEGO BRICK IN ONE OF THE LEVELS FROM BFDIA 5B?? this was and still is such a cool reference. the idea that they’re still stuck in evil leafy is such a interesting and sad idea!! the lofi music gives this scene an heir of loneliness which makes it so weirdly compelling to me.

anyway yeah thats it!!! if theres one thing to learn one of the best thints competition shows can and should do imo is slow down every once in a while and show the contestants living their lives. this was seen more recently with bfdia 13 but this video is another great example and it doesnt even use words or a story. it doesnt need to, the object show is a visual media and this is such an awesome video which tells us so much about the bfdi universe without words

usually i dont ask for reblogs and this isnt even an effort thing i wrote this in like 20 min but. it would mean a lot to me if you reblogged this cuz i think its really cool to see the objects here and i think more people should see and think about the slice of life portions of object shows

bfdi doodles I almost forgot to post (featuring donut x barfbag)
