THANK YOU BAGHERA. THANK YOU BAGI. THANK YOU PAC. THANK YOU FOOLISH. THANK YOU ROIER. THANK YOU QUACKITY. MASSIVE THANK YOU CELLBIT.

YOU ALL MADE THIS SO AMAZING. This was ABSOLUTELY INSANE.

I don't have the words right now (and I'm probably gonna hit post limit soon) but my god. That was just so, so good.

Benito: "No the kid is coming with us. Someone fucking sacrificed their life for her so we need to."

Carol: "Imagine what kind of life this kid will have if she survives."

Benito: "so you want to fucking finish the kid off? Hey kid, this person wants to kill you, do you want to die?"

Emi: "I want you to die"

[arinninjagosleftovers]

That was so incredible. WARNING!!! THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG APPRECIATION POST WITH A FEW GRAMMAR AND SPELLING MISTAKES BECAUSE IT IS LATE BUT SOOO MANY THOUGHTS!!! Also kind of a few character studies?? I guess?? YEah. I just need to get it out while it's still fresh.

I'm so impressed with all of them and the way Cellbit described stuff and all the different sounds he made?? absolutely nerve wrecking. The deaths were so like.. made my heart beat so so fast and the monster chases??? All the different npcs with different vibes to them he captured them so well. I love all the little references to the qsmp. I love the fact he included fitmc and his egg child. I'm so sad that he killed fitmc and his egg child.

They way Baghera roleplayed Lucie and how Lucie changed from hating this little brat and calling her that, and then changing it from a mean nickname to one of endearment, saying that Emi is the best for bringing the keycard but she needs to shut up. The way she gave her life for Emi, and she probably would've even if Carol didn't sabotage Emi. When she was dragged away and dying, all she could think about is that she was alone. That she was a failure. Her very last thoughts before she died were its not fair, but this is it. And it wasn't fair. She died alone. She was killed just for the thrill of it.

It was so cool the way Quackity laughed when Lucie died. The roleplaying was just so.. Chef's kiss. It changed Benito. It changed the way he saw Emi and yeah, he said he would help kill that child but seeing someone else doing that, it made him change his mindset. He never liked Carol, and seein her wanting this CHILD Lucie sacrificed herself for dead made him utterly pissed off, and he made sure that he would protect Emi. In the end, he says to himself that he started as an angry and cynical person who cared for no one. He said to himself that he will continue to be like that, but he has someone he needs to care for now and protect, because he will not let Lucie die in vain.

And the way Bagi roleplayed too?? I did NOT like Carol or trust her, she was so sus but oh my god Bagi is incredible. She was so in character, and Carol was so sure what she was doing was the right thing. She knew all of them were infected, and that meant they would need to die because if she lets them live she won't protect the world. But she wasn't there from the start. She wasn't there to form a bond with these people, and she focused her energy on killing a child, and in the end that's what got her killed. I almost wish she had lived longer, just to see what more there was to her. She was interesting narrivately, and I love that.

AND GOD. PAC. Pac was absolutely gut wrenching to look at after Diego heard about Lucie's death, just moment's before laughing with Jeffrey and being healed by him, only to hear that his best friend, likely for years, had been dragged away and killed by a beast, and it was to save a child he didn't even like. His first reaction was to deny it, even if the beast was right above them and he was so loud that it just.. GOIUGH. Pac's expression for the most part after that was zoned out, empty and like there was nothing to live for anymore. After Benito's speech about Lucie living on in Emi, he probably decided that Emi needs to live on. For Lucie. Like Benito said. Diego offers his everything for the people he loves. And he loved Lucie, it doesn't matter what KIND of love, but it was so important. And Pac captured that so incredibly well. ALSO LIKE. THE WAY HE SAID "She must've been terrified" MY HEART.

OUGH FOOLISH. His expressions. His noises. All the little things. He was soo in character. Jeffrey is a coward, and maybe it's more of an unknown trauma response to what happened to him before. Needing to run because he won't survive otherwise. His pep talk to Diego was that he [Diego] needs to bottle up his feelings for now, because otherwise he won't survive, but when they get out of this he can cry and they can get therapy. He's not telling Diego to keep it bottled up, but to seek out help. He throws a bunch of stuff, and in the end that's what saved them. He kept his phone and that moment!! That moment when Foolish said that he throws his phone at Mikael, I reacted the same way as Cellbit. Gasping, mouth open, jaw ON. THE. FLOOR. It was incredible.

AND EMI. She was broken. She saw her dad's infected body and she promised she would find a cure for him. She stayed with Lucie, held her hand until they had to split up and she was forced to stay with this boring guy that the only adult she liked didn't trust, and they were saying they didn't want her to stay there, but she would be safe if she did. Then, she finds this keycard, and her first instinct is to leave this boring guy and find Lucie. She does. And Lucie calls her the best for finding the keycard. And then, even if she doesn't realize it, she alerted the creature who chased her and Lucie, and this stupid doctor and new person who she does not know at all, down. This new stranger tries to offer her to the beast and Lucie sacrifices herself for Emi. Emi's only response was "She was the one I liked" I know some people were saying that she didn't act like a teenage girl (or like a 11/12 year old?) but she did!! I was talking to someone in dms and we were freaking out and he works with kids and I know teenagers. They are that sassy. They swear, and they absolutely swear a lot if they learned english from youtube or the internet, and being Brazilian I am simply assuming that's where Emi learnt it from. Cellbit did so well, and Emi also went through a LOT of traumatic events in such a short span of time. After Lucie died, she immidately latched onto Benito and never let go of his hand. And I don't think she will for a while.

Mikael sucked but also I kinda understood him in the end, but it also turned out he was wrong. That creature wasn't one of a kind, but he never got to know that. I don't have much to say about him because he was so sketch and just like. fuck that guy

i want more of this. so much more.

I KEEP ADDING ONTO THIS POST BUT OH MY GOD I AM APPLAUDING THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE SCENES. SO SO COOL. ALL THE ARTISTS AND THE PEOPLE HELPING CELLBIT WITH EVERYTHING WAS SO COOL. THANKY OU SO MUCH EVERYONE IN THE CREDITS

Y'all Carol and Lucie aren't parallel characters! They are foils!! Same with Carol and Benito! Foils! Lucie and Benito though? Those two are parallels :DD

[finnitesimal]

Rewatching OPQ and I'm endlessly fascinated by Carol and Micael and Panacea like They Are Meant To Be The Good Guys. They're So Protagonist Material They're So Final Girls. To Me

Micael and his lifelong shadow of going into science and paranormal anthropology and falling in love with it. Constantly being referred to as his mom's son rather than on his own accomplishment as a researcher and treated as strange for being fascinated by the creatures they're meant to exterminate. His research being treated as meaningless and unhelpful despite bringing heaps of new information about the creature's living habits and speed and strength and the folklore around it when he's expected to find its weaknesses. Finally gathering the resources and willpower to put an end to the murder of the world's most extraordinary superpredator and saving the lives of patients Zero and teaching them all they need to know so they could keep themselves alive, finally being cut off from communications and authority by his own mother while he's still in the dying facility, having to rely on the remaining goodwill of the people he saved only to have them turn on him, become the thing meant to hunt and kill what he was trying to protect and ultimately be regarded as nothing more than a fleshy obstacle to be torn apart by his beloved

And I want to know what Carol's Deal Is

She seemed close enough with her co-workers to recognize their mangled bodies as they walked along the corridors. Her and her D coworkers talking shit about the higher ranks and how they think they're better than them and how unabashedly biased the emergency safety procedures are

She's the only one outspoken about her belief in Panacea and the good they're doing and almost treats it like a dream designer job and the rest of them still believe they're doing the right thing But they've got other things in life to think about besides saving the world like will this research be worth to pay for my dad's medical bills if I ask for a leave will I make it to my sister's birthday

Carol is a bit of an oddball but they find her enthusiasm and zeal charming until she's berated for a report by a rank B for "not respecting the subject and the research put into it" when all she did in the report was put aside the previous research (that she felt was a bit too biased and didn't really contribute much in terms of Nidere's weakness as much as it praised it) and opted to try and explore ways of taking it down. Her co-workers still talk and chat, but it hasn't been the same in weeks now

She's used to listening in on conversations because she's sure they're talking about her

I wanna know if she's always been willing to sacrifice anyone 'less valuable' or when she started categorizing people by their worth or if something in there happened. Carol almost being sacrificed in the dorms to ensure the safety of the team while they run to activate the collision backfiring when Carol panics and pulls the fire alarm that blares outside of the door and they're the ones trapped outside now while she huddles under the beds. Plotting to turn on them the second they can escape- no matter how much Panacea views her as a disposable pawn she still would never let the world be subject to the infection running though their veins, even if they had to fight her for it, throwing dead weight to the monster to keep the rest of them going, and dying believing she helped save the world

But we're Not looking at it from the perspective of heroes trying to protect the world from superviruses or mutated monsters or morally dubious researchers trying to preserve life in a wasteland, we're seeing it through the eyes a group of broke asshole strangers being forced to work together to survive and protect each other and that makes all the difference honestly

[qrcane]

I know everyone says it all of the time, but I think it’s a good time to say it again:

If I see anyone sending hate towards Bagi because of her character choices as Carol, it is on SIGHT

[susie-dreemurr]

“The main reason for adding Bagi was to have an antagonist if you saved Emi”

“If she got to the end, Bagi would have took a gun from the helicopter and not let anyone escape (unless you could fight her off)”
