analysis of oj's thought process in this scene for funsies (quick warning for suitcase being put down and seen as inferior by another but it's not character neg)

why is oj being a massive fucking bitch? 🤔 Let's analyze.

so, obviously oj is living off a power trip in this episode. interesting implications about his actual power as a hotel owner. actually, at the beginning of the episode, we can see that he is NOT RESPECTED. salt lies about cleaning up, pepper demands him where the towels are (and he smugly lets her enter the DEATH TRAP DOOR? implying a familiar but negative relationship), and in general oj (and paper sort of but that's not relevant) seems to be the only caretaker while the rest of the residents are more like customers. though it seems they are *meant* to help out (such as salt being supposed to clean).

anyway. once oj gets the temporary host role for inanimate insanity, he immediately gets excited. we transition to the scene outside the hotel and he even does a little twirl! oj starts to read off the paper mephone uses (which oj has happily vandalized with drawings of himself and a snarky little message, this points to his general disdain towards mephone) and is trying to go Smoothly through with it. once the teams start fighting, he doesn't even try to figure out who's telling the truth, preferring instead to eliminate a random person. he REALLY likes to be efficient with his time, huh? that's talked about more in the next paragraph, but in this one i'll say a bit about his hatred for inanimate insanity. for the whole episode, he is uncaring of the show's rules, guidelines, structures, etc. he eliminates someone at random, he makes the contestants clean the hotel NOT as a challenge then flips a coin to determine the loser (only after they question him), he makes them sing for no reason other than to be entertained, he zips through every step as fast as possible. he does not care at all about ii, despite being so eager to host it. why? because hosting it means he gets to boss around a group of people (and he can make them clean his hotel! something he really needs help with!!), he gets to take mephone's place and mess with his stuff and disrespect his show, and generally he gets to sort of... take out some of his lasting frustrations surrounding ii. i don't think ANY of the season one cast is fond of inanimate insanity (and especially not of mephone), even if it brought them together (also not always a good thing). oj certainly isn't.

once he picks suitcase, he starts by calling her "whats-your-face" (thank you for noticing mari), then a few seconds later calls her by her actual name. thissss is so interesting to me. he KNOWS her name, apparently. but he called her a mean name first. this can either imply that he forgot, that he's just being a jerk for the hell of it, or both. i think it's both. a mix of his obsession with productivity and his need to be superior motivates this. he wants to get the elimination over with as quickly as possible, so quickly that he doesn't even bother to remember her name right away, because he's SO efficient that he just simply Doesn't have time for these things (in his mind). so it makes him feel both superior to her (disrespecting her), makes him feel good about himself (he feels like he's just being Productive and Time Efficient and part of that is that he has "no time" to do anything else but work). basically, he DID forget her name for like, a singular second, he just didn't bother to wait a moment or correct himself instead of calling her something else.

and for telling suitcase she's ruining the show? let's bring it back to ii1. oj insults people whenever he feels like it. he's pretty mean, and he's worse when he's stressed. he insults people particularly for being "useless" (such as to bomb), and is quick to fight back against anyone who challenges him. a pushover like suitcase is easy to demean. and it makes him respect her even less when she's being so meek! oj thinks his snappishness is justified by the fact he's, once more, simply being time efficient ("we've got a busy schedule!"), and that she is just wasting his time. i said earlier that oj doesnt respect inanimate insanity. so why does he accuse her of ruining the show if he doesn't care about it? well, because this is *his* episode. his time to be the host. even if he disregards the usual way things run, he's still going to get upset if something conflicts with *his* plans. he wants to get this over with and get them to clean his hotel, not much else (again, he's still enjoying being in a position of authority, he just likes to be nonchalant about how Superior and Powerful he is now). if someone's interrupting that, he's going to assert himself. oj always fights back against anyone who challenges him, and suitcase is too much of a doormat to stop him from shutting her down.

now for oj telling her to step back. this part is petty. he's irritated but also kind of. happy about being irritated. "what," you say? well, see, suitcase is genuinely trying to follow his directions. she just doesn't know how *much* to step back, obviously. so oj keeps shooing her a little bit at a time until she's finally offscreen, and you can tell he's a little bit annoyed by it. but this is part of the power & superiority once more! he gets to boss around someone "inferior to him" who is just soooo stupid that she doesn't even know where to go. and oj has to shoo her over and over because she's just not getting it (since he is sooo very much smarter than her and she is just completely incapable of following OBVIOUS directions.) but it's okay she is simply a Minor inconvenience (in his head) that he has dealt with now. also note that he could've just pointed to where she had to go. does this paragraph make sense? he likes being able to tell others what to do and have them do it, so even if she's kind of annoying him by not completely understanding the instructions, he still gets to assert his authority quite a bit.

this analysis is particularly focused on the scene in the video but i do bring up some other parts of the episode to support it.

Pairing: Pickle/Knife (Inanimate Insanity)

Word count: 654

Warnings: one mild swear that isn’t really otherwise it’s safe for worms

  Pickle had had trouble sleeping these last few nights, so of course he was wide aware to hear the tapping on his window.  Well, it was really more a banging loud of enough to be considered banging but quiet enough that no one else would be woken up.  Pickle froze, eyes wide in fear. There were no trees to tap at the window. The knock came again, and he whipped his head around to catch a peek. It was hard to see in the dark, but there was a silhouette in the window. A shiny, sharp-ended one.  Pickle jumped out of bed and hurried to the window, struggling to undo the latch and slide it open. “Knife, what the hell?”  Knife slid into the room past Pickle and shook his hands out. “I was bored.”  Pickle shut the window a little hard. “You’re not really allowed in here, you know, 'cause of the show?? And why did you climb the side of the hotel and bang on my window at 2am??”  Knife mumbled something unintelligible.  “Knife?”  “I missed you,” Knife repeated, voice soft and embarrassed.  "...oh." Pickled dropped his anger instantaneously, staring with some guilt at the back of Knife, who was still fiddling with his hands. He must have been hanging onto the window pretty intensely.  Knife took a breath, then turned and put on a bright grin. “I haven’t seen you since MePhone went to jail! That was so long ago!" He contemplated. “Or, at least, it feels like it.”  “It has been a while,” Pickle said quietly after a tense moment. “I...missed you too.”  “Aww, Pickle!” Knife crooned. “That’s so sweet!”  Pickle pouted. “You literally said the same thing!”  Knife sauntered up and put an arm around Pickle. “Well, since we both missed each other...” He didn’t finish the sentence and went off on a different tangent, spinning around and flopping onto Pickle's messy bed. “I’m surprised you’re up at this hour.”  “I’ve had trouble sleeping recently,” was the reply.  “Well, maybe I could help with that,” Knife grinned, striking a suggestive pose on the bed.  Pickle blushed, but looked away and covered his mouth to stifle a laugh, snorting. Knife laughed too, his own laugh a snort in raw form. “Knife, you’re terrible,” Pickle giggled.  “Too bad you like me,” Knife boasted, scooting over on the bed and patting beside himself. “C’mon, maybe a snuggle buddy will help you sleep.”  Pickle sighed. “Alright.” He laid down next to Knife, who dramatically pulled the quilt back over the two of them.  “Good...Morning?” Knife smiled.  “Oh, shush,” Pickle frowned, but he was playful about it, crossing his arms.  “Yeah, I really did miss you!” Knife laughed, throwing his arms around the other and nuzzling him. Pickle let out a teeny sound, blushing.  “Kn-Knife—!” But Pickle couldn’t stay mad for long and soon he was laughing too, hugging Knife tight and kissing him all over his metal face. Soon their lips met and they stayed that way for a minute or two before breaking off and just hugging each other close.  “I think I’ll come visit you more often,” Knife murmured, tapping his fingers against Pickle’s shoulder.  “Just be careful, you know MePad’s watching like a hawk.”  “I know, I know,” Knife huffed. “Don’t worry about me. I can handle myself.”  “Mhm,” Pickle smiled. “Thank you for coming. It means a lot.”  “I missed you!” Knife protested. “A jerk’s gotta visit his man, you know? Love might be ‘strengthened by time away,’ but it’s been way too long.”  Pickle nodded, sinking into the bed. “I’m going to try and sleep now.”  “Have I tired you out enough yet?” Knife asked.  “Enough,” Pickle said, laying another kiss on Knife’s forehead.  “I’ll stay here until you’re asleep,” Knife smiled. “I’d rather leave under the cover of night.”  “All right,” Pickle smiled back, hugging him closer still. “Goodnight for real this time.”  “‘Night.”
