#mapicc going after derap specifically

[mapicccc]

I really can't examine mapicc without examining myself but I Do want to think about him and his Feelings so I'm in a bit of a rough spot

[sol-rambles]

au where zam agrees with mawn.

But like secretly cause I really enjoy thinking about zam secretly working with mapic cause then I can pretend it's real...

Okay sooo like, Zam and Derap are still 'teamed' and go build Zaun or whatever. Zam pretends to be super against Mawn and Mapic goes along with it.

Though in this au the first pumpkin patch meeting goes differently, Mapic and Zam tell eachother alot more, Mapic explains Mawn better than he did during it. Since like I guess he tried? kindof. Either way, they end up on the same page by the end of it. Zam knows that this isn't 'what's best for the server' in terms of what they'd all like most. Mapic actually reads Zam's oath, since I don't think that he's done that before.

The two spend awhile deliberating the pros and cons of keeping the oath, aswell as any loopholes they can dance through in order to let Zam not break it, yet atleast. Zam decides that he's going to 'disagree' with Mawn, just for fun, even if they're teamed.

A few hours later, Mawn is announced, and Flame comes to Mapicc asking to work together, Mapic doesn't tell Flame much atall, just enough to have Flame on his side to fight with him when needed (like how Mapic said he was just using Flame for fights.) He messages Zam abit after Flame leaves, they meet at Zam's base and have a lil talk about how they are going to be secretly working together. Zam mentions the Kab-Mane-Pentar coalition to have Mawn destroyed. They decide on having Zam join undercover.

They also discuss how bfb are like on opposite sides and what they think will happen. They mention Derap, Zam decides he doesn't want to betray him in specific, so they tell Derap like a very small amount of information in order to have him understand thay they were working together.

Zam joins Re:Spawn or whatever they're calling themselves and gets away without much question, his oath made it easier seeing what was happening at Mawn..

LOL im so sorry,, i just adore ls pangi so dearly bc even though he Says hes not into the lore, is that not also lore as well? like nobody in the server actively prioritizes him or thinks of him as a first option— even his TEAMMATE sb considers himself a solo player before he considers pangi his teammate. he is incredibly alone BUT him being alone comes w the perk of never actually needing to choose sides

his lack of meaningful attachments to anyone makes him the perfect person to have surface level attachments to EVERYONE

him, planet, and jumper are probably the closest thing the server has to actually peaceful players bc they genuinely have no strict loyalty to any sides of any wars. in pangi's case specifically, he doesn't like or want to be involved in conflict at all bc he wants to be trusted and liked by EVERYONE so they'll feel safe enough to attend his recordings. so he is beloved by all sides of the server like bfb, atlas, the empire, cali girls, etc all LIKE him. they trust him enough to do silly things w him.

but thats like the extent to which most people like or trust him. but!! at the very least, he does actually have two (2) people who do gen care abt him very deeply due to the impact has had on them w his kindness, and although he is not and will never be their priority person, they care. they cherish him:

flame and derap. funnily enough. his consistent kindness and the way he has always treated flame like a person no matter how flame hurt him or how scared he was. the destruction that made most people very reasonably loathe him didn't stop pangi from continuing to treat flame w the same blanket niceness and understanding he offers to EVERYONE in the server. and his consistency both as a friend and as the person who played the server every single day got derap incredibly attached to him to an unhealthy degree, which made their relationship grow more toxic before derap started clinging to zam for a sense of stability instead.

so like. yes pangi doesn't have...a Person. someone who values and prioritizes him first and foremost, he at least has two people that will go to the ends of the earth to continue to be his friend. like,, derap lied to and went against zam's wishes directly to invite pangi and pangi alone to zaun bc he wanted him there that bad, and flame easily forgot abt/ignored mapicc's rules for mawn bc he was so worried abt pangi potientially being upset w him that he was willing to do anything to fix things and to make the christmas event possible simply bc it was smt that meant a lot to pangi.

and i am actually genuinely certain that if he were ever banned or dragged into conflict by another team, then theyd absolutely stop at nothing bc his safety and ability to remain a peaceful player is smt that seems to matter to them both. after all, pangi is the only peaceful player flame likes and the main reason derap decided he couldnt team w pangi was bc he didnt want him to be hurt and dragged into conflict bc derap has a lot of enemies LMFAO

Seeing a post analyzing Zam's relationships and it doesn't even mention Pangi... Pili really is the first friend he's ever had that cares about him as much as he cares about them.
