#for the rest of purgatory

[cheese-water]

Tina’s pov of purgatory 1 is required reading for fans of ALL teams. So many iconic moments (making the tea originally for Bagi, eating maggots in the snow, taking charge and hiding with Missa and Rivers when Bolas was hunting for easy pickings, her entire conversation with Mariana, her ongoing hatred of Fit, scary dog privileges, the rivalry with Cellbit, GG ninja’s betrayal, I COULD KEEP GOING) are integral to understanding not just SoulFire but purgatory as a whole, all found in her streams.

Plus, the after purgatory party segments hold a special place in my heart. The meta conversations with Tubbo and Bad over what it was like being the most hated team and how it felt for Bad being “the most hated player.” Then later with everyone in the call just playing games while Tina draws the SoulFire co-leaders or joins in herself. The vibes are fantastic and were a great cooldown after the high stress event. I can’t recommend her pov enough.

Pac: I'm just here to say goodbye to you, Fit.

Fit: Goodbye? We're not– we're gonna be fine, we're going to get out of here, don't worry.

Aypierre: Yeah, don't worry!

Pac: I know, but like– I will sleep until the end, you know? I will pass through this moment sleeping, man. I won't be able to be awake for the moment.

Fit: Oh the sofa. Ok, that's a nice sofa! Yeah, that is a pretty nice sofa.

Pac: Yeah, it's a nice sofa right? No, yeah– I'm going to stay on the sofa, you know? So, since I will be going Fit... [Pac starts tossing Fit all his items]

Aypierre: [Not paying attention to their conversation] Is that bigger cell? I don't think it's a bigger- biggest one.

Fit: Oh... Thank you Pac, thank you.

Pac: Everything you need to survive, ok?

Fit: Wow.

Aypierre: Wow.

Pac: And if you need this one also, maybe, who knows? [Throws him more items]

Fit: Ohhh, well hey– just take this to remember me by, ok? [Tosses him a photo of himself – the same one Aypierre was carrying all day yesterday]

Pac: [Laughs] Ok, I will sleep holding the picture you know, like this. You know, I will dream about you, Fit. And I hope this is gonna be good dreams. I see you in the other side. Good luck, my friend.

Fit: The other side... Yeah, you know, yeah, we– we– you know? It's been an honor, Pac. It's been an honor, you know?

The long drive with bolas

[tubchunk]

sorry but q!tubbo seeing q!bagi go up in ninho herself and then after a bit passes, he starts panicking when she doesn't come back down, and when she appears at the spawn waystone, he instantly runs up to her saying that he thought he lost her. she was the only other person who woke up back on quesadilla island when he did and if she was gone he couldn't bear it. blue team doesn't leave anyone behind after all, and by the end of it, q!bagi was now family.

for the record i think what happens to vax'ildan tonight is whatever liam feels is correct for his character whose story became about the heavy meta knowledge of his journey of grief in c1, and how he feels about that journey of grief now, and any decision made would have weight in liams feelings on his mothers loss

Charlie is right.

Bolas Rojos won today. They got their revenge after yesterday’s beating. They’ve proven themselves as real competitors. They have literally won the battle today.

But they themselves have orchestrated the war.

Peace is no longer an option. All bridges have been burned for the red team. Any sympathy or pity from the other groups was gone as soon as they cemented first place. And even worse, there were many witnesses to their carnage. Primarily ElQuackity on green, who faced them head-on (so much for blaming the base raid on Bad), but Pol and Tina on blue saw those same chat messages. Like Charlie said, in situations like these, people will never forget. These are how grudges are formed, how small decisions lead to larger repercussions, and how consequences end up mattering after all is said and done.

The Bolas can’t go back now. They’ve made their bed of destruction and warfare, and now they have to lie in it. While the actions of the others may have led them down this path, do not get me wrong. They were not backed into a corner. There are many opportunities to do something different. For instance, the trader village or going full-on cult mode were genuinely viable options. Due to the lack of players on today and the players that were online’s motivation for the competition visibly waning, the red team could have easily isolated them each and indoctrinated them into the group.

To be honest, the Reds’ resistance to joining general vc only furthered their “us against the world” and “peace was never an option” mentality. Disregarding everything pre-purgatory, the only person who actually has positive relationships with the others is Foolish, who made an effort to interact outside of the team (1v1 with Étoiles, chatting with Tina and BBH, etc.). Unlike his teammates, Foolish really has set himself up well for the future, be it for trading, secret alliances, or if, for whatever reason, teams switch. And in games like these, that's how you gain credibility; that’s how you end up being pitied; that's how you survive.

And today, guess who won in that regard? The team in last place, SoulFire. Which thank god they did, because steamrolling the competition two days in a row is how you get majorly targeted. Their lack of progress (which was definitely unintentional lmao), the gen vc basically being BadBoyHalo’s “apology” tour for a bit (which again, very unintentionally focused the blame off of the six kills from their equally bloodthirsty leader), but most importantly, keeping Étoiles, the skilled and need I mention literal leader of the enemy team, company when his team was gone has more impact than even they might not realize. I mean, talk about damage control lol. Like going into Day 3, my bets on who’s group will form an alliance first are solely on green and blue.

Anyway, I am happy not only about the Reds getting the win they rightly deserve but also about the fact that they are aware of what they are doing. The moves they have and will make are purposeful, self-aware of their own “let’s all be peaceful” hypocrisy.

On Day 1, Blue and Green got to be the bad guys.

On Day 2, Charlie can’t help but question his own morality while doing the same terrible things that sent him down this spiral to ElQuackity tonight.

But I guess it's the burden that first place has to bear. I’m sure they’ll all get used to it eventually :)

Me thinking about the time Cas said he doesn't know anyone who's failed as much as Sam (he says, weirdly with love and admiration), like hmmmm, lets look at the record here.

Mary sells Sam's life so John can live.

John goes hunting the thing that killed Mary, dragging along his two very young boys, teaching them to be codependent and suicidal.

John leaves Dean and doesn't call him back (though he totally can) to hunt the yellow eyes himself. Sam and Dean start hunting again to find him.

John sells his soul so Dean can live (love him for that, but the chain of events, dude, come on)

Dean sells his soul so Sam can live (didn't learn nothing, lmao)

Dean breaks the first seal keeping Lucifer locked in the cage.

Sam attempts to sell his soul, doesn't work, falls to Ruby's manipulation while Dean is dead. She hooks him on demon blood that clearly has mood altering and addictive properties to him.

Castiel's continued loyalty towards the angels.

Castiel taking Jimmy Novak's body, not once but twice, horrifically.

Sam lies to Dean about his involvement with Ruby.

Sam and Dean both fall for Ruby's party line and sad backstory.

In general, Dean's treatment of Sam starting from s4. But I'll give this to Dean, in s4, Sam did not think Dean was strong enough to fight the good fight anymore, so an honest conversation without barbs would have done them both good.

Castiel opens the bunker door and lets a nearly detoxed Sam out, so he specifically can go kill Lilith.

Sam removes the last seal by killing Lilith, Lucifer is released.

Dean's on again off again refusal to fight "destiny".

Castiel just killing anyone that's a "threat" which just means "against him" lmao.

Bobby choosing to stay on the earthly plane despite knowing his spirit would only get angrier and more dangerous as time goes by.

Castiel bringing Sam back from the cage (positive), but not getting Sam's soul back (ouch), and then when the option to bring it back is there, he thinks it might be too "horrific" to do, disregarding that Sam without a soul isn't Sam at all. Just a walking talking body.

Castiel breaking down Sam's wall and letting Sam's trauma manifest to the surface.

Castiel working with Crowley, killing countless angels (maybe necessary, maybe not), letting the Leviathan in.

The way Dean treats Sam the first half of s8. Insane shit. Uncalled for. Bullshit.

Dean and Sam's general treatment of Kevin (I mean, I don't personally care about Kevin either, but fair's fair)

Dean refusing to let Sam close hell's gates to save Sam's life, even though Sam wants to die. Sam listens to him.

Dean refusing to watch Sam die, so he takes Sam's choice away (even though Sam already chose to die in peace) and let's a strange angel inhabit his brother's body by tricking him. Dean's decision ultimately gets Kevin killed and Sam a witness to horrible things his body did.

Dean leaves Sam after Sam is finally unpossessed by Gadreel.

Dean works with Crowley. Dean accepts the Cain mark to kill Abaddon.

Sam accepts the bozo back even though Dean didn't learn shit. lmao.

ALL the times Castiel runs off somewhere without explaining himself/telling the brothers anything.

Like, hmmmmm, I don't know Cas, there's a lot of you in there. And definitely a lot of Dean.

Also, healthy reminder:

Sam and Dean did NOT open hell's gates. That was Jake Talley.

Neither Sam or Dean were solely responsible for releasing Lucifer. And while they were technically "responsible" for the first and last seal being removed. They really weren't since it was all in the machinations of Heaven and Hell! Literally all of the Apocalypse was because of the angels and demons!!! And Castiel specifically having a hand in much of it.

Sam wasn't responsible for losing his soul. That was Cas' fuck up.

Sam never even wanted to be brought back to life, ever in his damn life.

Sam leaving to college was not a betrayal! Even if John and Dean feel it was.

Sam having demon powers isn't his fault either! Mary can sorta be blamed (not really tho), but realistically speaking? This is all on yellow eyes and Lucifer.
