I love how close Roier and Etoiles got during the first week of purgatory, like they were unstoppable together. Etoiles would offer to train Roier only for Roier to turn around and beat him. Etoiles was the first person to see Roier for how he truly is - a warrior. He just hides behind the clown mask so people underestimate him.
But Etoiles knows now.
When they're separated into the different teams, Etoiles is worried he will actually have to go against Roier and if he loses? No one would understand but they're together again and they continue this relationship as if theyve known each other their entire lives but this time Etoiles actually gets to see him truly happy. See the way Cellbit makes him happy and how they both include him now. Etoiles is a part of their family and he's there to stay.
After purgatory is when things are different, the reality of them being apart. Etoiles doesn't belong in their home - he isn't a part of their real family. He doesn't understand why its so hard for him to return back to normal like everyone else.
He hangs out with Phil as he did before, sits on the wall and watches him and Chayanne tend the field while Tallulah works on her music. But he feels empty, he feels alone. He misses them.
He's never felt this way, he's never felt this longing. He just wants to go back. Not to purgatory. But to having Cellbit and Roier so readily accepting him and making him a part of their family.
He misses seeing Roier look at him after he killed something with the proudest smile. He misses Cellbit asking for his advice on a tactic move.
hey guys go watch this qsmp animation it has 50 artists and animators that worked on it for over a year to retell some of the qsmp story so consider go giving it some love because it is actually incredibly well made and a nice trip down memory lane:) massive respect for this project
I adore the contrast of everyone meeting Phil's platonic husband and spending more time with him then seeing the differences between him and Phil cause we get moments like:
Etoiles hearing Missa wailing like a cat dying and protecting him and Tallulah.
Cellbit having to save him from mobs and keeping a constant eye he doesn't get lost while watching him annoy Roier.
It's just so funny comparing Philza Hardcore Minecraft who is a great player on many fronts compared to his wet cat husband who gets downed multiple times a stream and screams a lot but somehow you can't help but feel affection for him.
