HC that the Batkids post patrol will always steal their siblings' food or snacks, even if Alfred has prepared a three course meal should any of them decide to be normal. Jason’s always irritated when Steph or Duke break into his place demanding snacks or stealing bits of the one person meal he's made for food. Cass and Tim often end up stealing each other's granola bars and energy drinks, leading to frequent disputes about who is supposed to restock them.

Damian, never to be outdone, drives the hours to Blüdhaven to steal Dick’s food (Dick will make spicy snacks for him).

It's This Moment (or Nothing)

One of the biggest things that I have run into over the past day with Blink, Gone is the way that it feels incomplete and that is something I still stand by. This could be something completely purposeful, meant to illustrate that the round wasn't ever going to be a legitimate competition anyways, intended from the beginning as a lure for Hyuna and Mizi, to add extra emotional effect to the cliffhanger, or perhaps it really is one half of a wider whole (in a more localized sense than it being one part of the whole series, anyways). I don't really know which I think is more likely, at this point, because I'm not sure enough about any of my theories on that front to make real predictions. I still believe that Mizi will end up on her own when this all finished, all of the people she ever loved dead and gone, the bodies littered at her feet.

With the "special guests" I presume that Hyuna and Mizi will be forced to go up against each other. My friend Zen, (@verdantlights) said that hy thinks that it'll end up being a Hyunaluka round where Hyuna is set to win and then a Hyunamizi round where Hyuna is set to lose (edited because i got the order wrong and zen corrected me lmao). I agree with the idea that, at this point, it's damage control. They successfully lured Mizi (and by extension, Hyuna) in with Till, killed Till and now they're going to make their hostages perform for their lives, as is their brand.

One of the most interesting parts of Blink Gone, for me, is how this was presumably all planned from the start. Zen mentioned something that made me realize this yesterday, that this is the 50th season of Alien Stage. There's no way they would let it get this rowdy with rebels and disrupted rounds unless they were letting it happen, because it was planned from the start, because they were trying to tie up loose ends (Hyuna). Not only that but this round in particular was undoubtedly planned from the beginning, with the amount of preparation that went into it (the giant billboards of Ivan, the chanting of the crowd, the song itself). Till was ranked 2, it was always going to end up this way, Luka's superiority reinforced and his opponent dead on the floor. (btw I'm coming back to Luka. There's gonna be another fucking post just you wait). The way that they used Till's triggers against him, they drugged both of the performers but only gave Till enough to last him halfway through, forced Till to perform against Luka right after Round 6, where he lost one of the people in his life that was most important to him, and then rubbing salt into his horrible fresh wounds.

This is also one of the only rounds where Mizi is one of the POV characters that we have no mentions of Sua, at all. Perhaps that's merely because Mizi wasn't the focus and by extension, neither was Sua, but in another way, you could argue that it's because someone else was busy haunting the narrative: Ivan.

It kinda fucking hurts that the only way we really got to see Ivan was two ways- a direct flashback to the kiss from CURE, a explicit representation of the trauma that Ivan left Till with, and the billboards/Luka manipulations where he mimics Ivan in order to get Till on the back foot. And the thing is, it works. Ivan, despite his every intention otherwise, has become a trauma for Till, the way he thought he never could. To a degree, I was happy about this, because it proved Ivan wrong, that he would just be forgotten in a blink, but it hurts as well, because him only being used as a weapon against Till only reinforces his beliefs about himself that he is a monster and a negative impact on others. He would view himself being used against Till as a bad thing, that he hurt Till when he never intended to, rather than seeing it for what it is- an explicit sign that he was far more important to Till than he previously thought.

(Also something driving me up a wall right now is the way that one of my friend's described the lyrics of Blink, Gone as being in reference to the way that one moment Ivan was there, and the next he was gone, because Till took advantage of Ivan's presence and didn't know how much he needed it until it was gone and I'm sorry I'm going to go scream some more now.)

One thing I've talked about with friends a lot the past day is the way that, if Till is truly dead, then what was Ivan's character even for? And while narratively, it wouldn't make sense to kill TIll here with all of the potential he has and where his arc is going, one thing that @pwippy pointed out to me is how it makes a lot of sense thematically. Alien Stage is a universe full of suffering and pain for humans, forced to perform until they literally die on stage, all for the entertainment of the audience. It's not even meant as a way of exerting control or oppressing them, though it serves that purpose, because why would the seygein bother to oppress something that can't even fight back? Why go to the trouble of controlling something that is just a pet, whose cries are the fuel for a new age?

For Till to die now, reaching out for this glimmer of light when he is an animal caged, surrounded by enemies and bombarded with triggers of his suffering and pain, it would only be fitting. Another confirmation that life isn't fair, especially not in a system that is actively working against you and your attempts at happiness. Yet another sign that none of them were supposed to live very long, that even if they won, they wouldn't be around for much longer anyways. Now, it wouldn't necessarily be in character for Till, as he wants to live and he wants to fight, but he got to see one of the people he loved most in his dying moments, just like Sua and Ivan did. (Thank you this post for grabbing me by the throat and squeezing). In this world of pain and suffering, perhaps death is a mercy. If Till is truly dead, then he no longer a tool for his oppressors, he is free of their control. For Ivan and Sua both of their deaths were mercies to them- Ivan was able to die for the one he loved, as was Sua, and neither of them were forced to live in a world without their beloved.

So, while it might not be in character for Till to die, it makes sense within the themes and the established mechanisms of the universe, and it hammers home just how much more Mizi has to lose, even at this point where she thinks she's lost it all.

Mizi, who at the beginning, was the only one of these characters filled with innocence and hope, Mizi, the apparent protagonist of this story- at the end, she will be alone and she will know the true lengths of cruelty, with all that which she has ever loved destroyed.

I decided to eat my protein bar, took off the wrapper, threw the bar in the trash, and now standing there with the wrapper in my hands trying to figure out what just happened

[nimblermortal]

I want a Most Dangerous Game retelling but the rich dude doesn't get like a famous trapper, he gets a dude who's read a few adventure novels

and the rest of the story is him bemusedly following along behind a guy, trying to stay far enough back to see what he'll do next while still applying pressure to see what will happen next

featuring scenes like:

-okay I think he went into the water so the hounds couldn't smell his tracks but we're like thirty seconds behind him and he tromped through the muddy section so there is literally a billowing jet trail in the water indicating his direction

-okay cool he went across the rocks nice leave no tracks or broken grass would have been better if he'd tried it any place other than immediately after the water

-What is this? Sir, we're losing ground It'll be fine, he's an idiot. Just. He spent half an hour on this. What is it? It appears to be a pole shoved in the ground. With a vine wrapped around it. Was he trying to make a bow? A snare? A pit trap? All three? Sir, he's getting away. I MUST KNOW

something something Ghost and Soap running into eachother on a dating app, but Ghost's profile is one singular black image and Soap's is decked out.

and they both know.

just a curious swipe from both of them, to see if they'd match...

i respect all the headcanons that Tommy can also cook but consider: joined the army (meals provided), became a firefighter (meals provided), obviously keeps up and maintains a serious workout routine... the only thing that man knows how to cook is big batch meal prep chicken/rice/veggies that he eats 2-3 times a day. shit with all his hobbies/demanding job he may just order a meal service plan. so when Buck comes along and starts to cook for him, he is Blown Away

Jordan never was much of a sharer, but with Marie around they can't help but offer her whatever they are eating. Those two develop into a couple that casually swoops in to try each other's food rather quickly. But there's one thing Marie doesn't really like that much.

Protein bars.

Some of them taste like sand, some taste like chocolate, but also mostly sand. But Marie still takes a modest bite everytime Jordan offers. They know she doesn't like it, but out of determination want to find the flavor she likes.

It's a weird part time, but it's a nice distraction from everything serious in their lives. Marie catches on to it, but just goes along. Jordan's smile when she doesn't scrunch up her nose after a new bite is too sweet. They even roped Emma into it, because her favorite brand of protein bars is the same as theirs.

Marie ends up liking any protein thing with nuts and white chocolate (because it's sweeter and sand isn't as noticable). Jordan had two bars in their bag now. Third one goes in there in case Emma needs to get to human size again.
