Ok so PVP civilization??? I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS???

Spoilers for episode 5 btw

So first off the REVEALS THIS EPISODE??? And the fact that most of them were to the viewer and not to Evbo???

The first reveal I want to talk about is PRINCEZAM REVIVING. HE CAN REVIVE TOO. This means WAY MORE THAN YOU MIGHT INITIALLY THINK.

Princezam's character, in nature, is selfish. He talks highly about how Evbo repeatedly dying is heroic, and while he may be subjecting himself to endless torture, he's saving so many lives, he's a hero, he's a good person. It's implied that Zam believes, if he were in Evbo's position, he would do the same; that he would let himself die to save others. But it's a lie. Because he IS in Evbo's position. HE CAN REVIVE TOO. But he kept it a better secret than Evbo, which is the only reason why he hasn't been endlessly farmed yet.

The second reveal Princezam gives that also shows more about his character and motives is that Evbo has a limited number of revives. He isn't immortal. He's on his last life. If he dies again, he'd be gone forever. And Zam knew this.

And I think something is really, really interesting about this. Because in episode 4, Zam's motive is to make Evbo die over and over indefinitely so he can keep increasing durability of the iron swords and increasing life span. Still an interesting character, but him KNOWING that this solution is temporary, and him KNOWING that Evbo will die permanently soon, changes everything. His motive wasn't to save the iron swords, I actually think he couldn't care less about them. His motive was to kill Evbo.

What else would it be? Why else would Zam KNOWINGLY make Evbo die over and over with every death coming closer to permanent death? Because for whatever reason, Zam wanted to get rid of Evbo. But why? Yes, it's true he was the chosen one. But that leads me into my next point:

Is he?

The only real thing that made Evbo special enough to be the chosen one is that he could revive himself after dying. But he isn't the only one who can. Zam can too; and I believe Tabi and a few other people can as well. So IS he the chosen one? Personally, I don't think he is. I think that someone else is the chosen one, but I'll get to who eventually. What possible motive could Zam have for wanting Evbo dead, if he isn't the chosen one?

Evbo was a diamond sword.

OKOKOK HEAR ME OUT

Evbo was a diamond sword who's memories were erased. He was threatening to like do something (maybe become a netherite sword?) that Zam and others didn't approve of and maybe he was working with Tabi, so both of them were killed and revived in the wooden sword level. But Evbo's memories were erased in the process so Tabi decided to manipulate him and get to the top without him this time. That brings me to the next point.

Tabi has history with some of the diamond swords. Specifically, Ferre. We don't know what yet, but I believe like I said above that she and Evbo were previously diamond swords, and were trying to do something and ended up being killed. Evbo's memories were erased but Tabi's weren't.

I think the reason the diamond swords were willing to let Evbo back in and not Tabi is because he lost all his memories. Maybe, he'll get some back and realize that the diamond layer is corrupt or evil in some way, and team up with Tabi to defeat them. But I don't think so. I think Tabi is evil and had either roped in Evbo, or worked with Evbo but losing his memories made him change.

Anyways, on the topic of reviving, I think it's also safe to say Zam was a diamond sword. First off, he seemed to know the diamond swords personally and disliked them, calling them 'bottom feeders' (which by the way is so fucking funny I giggled so much at that line) also we know he can revive as well so safe to say he was killed and revived there. Maybe he was in the plan (that may or may not exist idfk) with Tabi and Evbo and was killed as well. But I doubt it, considering how he treats Evbo, but then again, his character is very selfish and antagonistic. I think his ultimate motive is to rank up to a netherite sword (which may be godhood like in parkciv?? but we don't know) and he's trying to kill Evbo to take out the competition.

Also this is a minor thing but now we finally know why Zam kept his door closed in episode two, because he had an armor stand too and didn't want the secret to come out.

Now for the final reveal: Parrot has a backstory. And I think I know what it is.

Parrot is the real chosen one.

Ok my evidence for this is mostly speculation but also if Evbo isn't the chosen one than who?? Parrot is a really odd character, like every time he talks it just feels like there's something off about him. He talks a lot about the chosen one, but he acts. Weird. Around Evbo when he finds out that he's the chosen one. Also, for someone so devoted to the chosen one, he's still very much alive; and I point this out because he has a mansion AND a video journaling machine. That costs a lot of swings and I have a feeling he hasn't really ever paid respects to it. Even though he says he has. And why would he? BECAUSE HE'S THE CHOSEN ONE.

If Parrot isn't the chosen one, either one of two things are probably true:

he was a diamond sword

he was a/the netherite sword

I don't really know how these would work in the story the same way the chosen one theory would, but yeah

Thank you for reading my ramblings :33 hopefully I didn't miss anything lmao

ALSO??? WEMMBU AND MINUTE IN A EVBO VIDEO???? HELLO???? IS THIS REAL LIFE????????

TW/CW: Discussion of murder, death, and violence

imagine if evbo has a family outside of pvp civilization. a home. and he had his parents. and then one day, their sweet baby boy vanished. their baby boy had been fourteen going on fifteen when he had disappeared, he had a smile that could blind the whole world, he was struggling with freshman algebra and his parents would sit down with him on the couch and try and scrounge up memories from their school days to help him.

now their baby boy is finally back after months, but he is not their baby boy anymore. he is fifteen and he looks at them like he is shoving his hand in that haystack to find the needle. his smile is not as bright as it once was and his eyes have lost that glimmer of joy and innocence. they are so tired, they look like they have seen war. maybe they have.

and then there are the scars. the healed up wounds that mark something had been stabbed through his palms. when he takes off his shirt there is scar tissue so deep, so horrible on the skin of his stomach and chest his parents wonder What happened and how did he survive? the mark of a knife sliced across the throat and the jagged scar stretching across his jaw. and more. so so much more.

and yet he smiles. he tells his parents he loves them, that he will remember them, that he is beginning to remember them. he tells them stories he remembers, reminisces on cherished moments. and all of this says, i am still your son deep down, but it will take some time to find him. he refuses to tell them anything about his disappearance. he's fine. he is okay. really, he truly is. yet he still wakes up at night screaming and pleading and crying. please don't kill me. i don't want to die. why do i need to die? it hurts it hurts it hurts. and what can his parents do but wake up in the middle of the night, sit by him as he is curled up in bed, and watch as their baby boy (fifteen, not fourteen) cries and cries and cries, and refuses a hug, refuses to be touched, because it hurts.

Tabi "I will kill for you"

and

Evbo "I will die for you"

will be the death of me one day.

[varreblogger]

it's actually genuinely really important to subject your favorite character to your irrelevant and niche fetish. it’s enriching for them

[itsraining-honey]

my friend tabi (@itsyaboitabs on twitter!!!) completed her fic today and posted it!!! would mean the world if you checked it out and maybe even checked out her other works too!!

[epicfranb]

Rewatching Kino's Journey and I'm like Kino is so non-binary coded. But then episode 4 comes around and it's such major honest to god non-binary coding, I'm not even sure if it's unintentional anymore. So here's my little essay about it, ig.

Fair warning for potential spoilers under the cut! Before reading, I highly suggest watching this anime (it's really good) or just the episode in question. You don't really need any context for this, other than the basic premise of the show: Kino travels with a sentient motorcycle called Hermes. As for where to watch it, I always watch on aniwave.to. Again, this is episode 4, so go watch it!!

Since this is about the non-binary coding, I'm gonna keep the summaries short and to the point. The backstory starts with Kino saying she doesn't remember her past name anymore, but expresses the only thing she remembers about it being the bullying. This moment in itself doesn't have an obvious meaning, it is purely symbolic. The episode starts with her in a field of the flowers she was named after, long after she forgot her name; she is there later as a child, starting a new life with a new name; and it ends with her as an adult, which is the moment that leads to the scene in the beginning, nicely looping back in this circle-like narrative. This has more to do with the general ideas of freedom that the show has, rather than specifically to the topic of this essay. I just thought it was interesting how it explicitly shown that she did not like her birth name.

To avoid confusion from this point on, I'm going to refer to Kino the main character as "this girl". This is because she meets a traveler named Kino. The two spend a lot of time together, and the girl explains to the traveler the tradition of this country. This is that when children turn 12, they get an operation to "become an adult". Children are free to do whatever they like, while adults must work and nothing else, and, since this is such a big burden, they get an operation to always be happy despite it.

The girl asks if Kino has a job, and Kino says that traveling is his job. The girl then asks, "Do you hate your job?" and Kino says "No, I like it." and the girl says "Then it's not a job."

Kino realizes this is kind of fucked up and is visibly conflicted on whether he should leave the place as is, or help this girl he's made friends with somehow. He talks to this girl about the tradition, and this exchange happens:

In a world with such a clear distinction between a child and adult, it is unthinkable to the girl that someone could just be neither. This man is grown up, but he does what he likes. And he doesn't even have an answer for "what" he is. He's just "a man named Kino, that's all. And I'm on a journey."

"Doing what you like to do?" The girl asks.

"That's right, I like traveling." Kino says.

He asks the girl what she likes to do. She says she loves singing! He suggests she then should become a singer. She says she can't, because she has to grow up and take over her family's business. But it's fine, because it's about to be her operation and day and she "will be happy, even if she has to work at the inn".

The next day, the girl is conflicted. She asks her parents if it is necessary to have the operation. "Is there no other way that I can become an adult by just being myself?" Her parents are terrified and very mad at her, and the whole street gathers up to tell her off, calling her a "failure", "defective", "a waste of a girl", which are also common attitudes towards queer people in our world. They realize it was the traveler that planted the ideas in her head. The traveler agrees that each country has its own customs, and the people allow him to leave peacefully... Except the girl will be killed, for "defying her elders". Her father charges at her with a knife, but Kino shields her and dies. at this point, Hermes, the motorcycle, starts speaking to her.

This exhange continues the theme of "the secret third thing" and the freedom of choice outside of defined norms. Within the norms, it becomes clear in this scene that you either become "an adult" or you die; but, just like the traveler Kino was "a secret third thing", the girl can also run away and continue being herself. That is the third choice she gets here. And she takes it.

She rides away, Hermes giving her instructions on how to ride properly, she breaks the country gates and escapes to the grand outside. She stops and falls over on a field of flowers, the ones she was named after. She looks back and whispers "Kino..." but Hermes assumes it was her introducing herself to him. Surprised he referes to her as Kino, she throws away the last part of her past she had on her and accepts her new name.

Now that we're done with the summary, let's dissect this.

First off, Kino in her childhood looks very feminine. She has long hair, wears a pink dress and a pink headband with a cute bow. And, s we know her from the future, she looks very androgynous, her hair is short, her voice is much lower, she wears masculine clothing and an oversized coat that she got from the traveler.

She changes her looks, she changes her name, from one that she did not like to one that reflected her better, which is something that many trans and non-binary people go through. Here, I want to mention that even the traveler she met also looks sort of androgynous, which is also coding in itself, imo.

In the country where she used to live, there were two ways to live: being a child and being an adult. One did not have any sort of choice in the matter, it was decided for you. This is, of course, similar to the way that we get assigned a gender at birth and are expected to pefectly perform that gender, with no option to switch or be something else.

But young Kino meets a person who defies everything she believed in her life. He's free to go and do whatever he likes, he doesn't fit in the binary of this country, and he grew up free to be himself. This is wild to Kino at first, but she keeps thinking about it and realizing she does want to keep doing things she likes. She doesn't want to get brainwashed into doing things she hates with an unchanging smile on her face. She wants to be herself, to be free. She doesn't get that choice, of course, not while she's still in the country. She admits that becoming an adult like them would be as bad as dying; because she would lose all her personality and individuality. That's when Hermes opens her eyes to this: she DOES have a choice. Actually, this is her only chance to take it. She runs away, and she's finally free, and she throws away her past and continues life under a new name.

Even if all this is unintentional, this episode's themes still speak to the ideas and beliefs of trans and non-binary people. It is an episode about freedom of choice, freedom to be yourself despite what your culture may impose on you. This is an episode about leaving your past behind for a better future. So, in a way, this episode IS about being non-binary.

Thank you for reading!! I hope there aren't any major mistakes in here. If there are, please let me know so I can fix it (kindly, please). Like, obviously I said words like "feminine/masculine/androgynous" which are labels which don't always fit everything they get assigned to. I hope that it's clear that I used them intentionally for the purposes of getting a point across. Hope you enjoyed, and I've convinced you to watch (or rewatch) this awesome anime!! Bye-bye ^_^

Character death(?) Angst, blood tw

"A world without you is a world I'll never live in"

-a very short fic with pvp siblings-

Tabi looked let out a sigh, rubbing her face, her tone bored and frustrated as ever "my word Evbo, stop being so slow" she hissed, looking behind her only to notice the blonde boy wasn't there

"Evbo?"

Tabi asked to the air, furrowing her eyebrows, taking a step forward

"You better not being playing your stupid games again"

She grunted, getting a little more worried now, taking a few moments before rushing to the area they previously in

"You're scaring me you shithead"

And at the moment, she froze, finding the oh so familiar red stains on the ground, trailing towards a figure sitting on the grass against the hard concrete wall

Tabi didn't hesitate as she bolted towards the blonde, gently placing him into her embrace, looking down at boy in horror

"Evbo?"

She muttered, Evbo's closing eyes glanced over at her, his lips trembling

"Tabs?.. I-"

He whispered, his hand shakly holding onto the other's shirt going into a tight grip

"Hey.. Hey, it's alright, I'm here" Tabi quickly replied, holding Evbo's head up, her other arm around the boy's waist

Evbo eyes blurred slightly with tears, leaning against his "sister's" touch "I-i'm scared.. Tabi- I'm... Scared" he mumbled, voice breaking in the end

"Shh.. It's okay, you're going to be okay.. I'm here.. We'll get you food yeah? You'll be fine" the brunette whispered, pressing her lips against Evbo's forehead, feeling like she was reassuring herself more than she was doing to Evbo

"I don't wanna die.. I don't.. It's scary.." He said, his voice becoming softer, feeling his body giving out on him

And it made Tabi's heart ache

"You aren't going to die, not when I'm here you hear me? You aren't going to fucking die" She hissed, a teary grin on face, brushing away a strand of hair from Evbo's face

"You're.. Not dying"

PvP Civilization Chapter 2!

Spoilers down below. Not spoiler reaction first tho:

Now my actual thoughts.

Okay so first of all, production value has *looks up at sky* made a hole in my ceiling. The animated intro with the music? Fucking fantastic. Had a lot of references to the past season which is always good. And some hints to the new season so already we're making great stride. And the bit for the start of the season? I was laughing. The title had me so confused on where this was going and that whole thing with Guard Friend? Yes, thank you, Guard Friend fan over here. And now we get into the logistics of how this world actually works. Nice to see our dear Evbo not too torn up about what happened with Tabi, still running around and being somewhat goofy. But I saw a slight change in his character as well compared to the first season, we'll see how that goes. He does seem a bit more grown up in my mind. Also HI SEAWATT! WELCOME TO PVP CIVILIZATION!

Glad to see you are still traumatized over that from Parkour civilization DGBHREKGHREJHGRJEH nearly choked on my tea here. I'M FINE! Oh please, he's probably the biggest shipper out of all of us. Anyways moving on-- Now then, with how the new members of each civilization are decided, should be interesting to see how they are going to utilize that from now on. But it could also be just there for the moment and not go beyond that, unlike Parkour Civilization. Which honestly? I'm completely fine with that. I don't mind a rehashing of certain plot elements, makes em fun. But with how the story is setting up, it's going to be pretty different from Parkour Civilization 2, which I am excited about. Now all I'm waiting for is ClownPierce to show up. Maybe he and Tabi are working together. Anyways can't wait for more!

[crackersandjuice]

hello pvpciv nation i'm posting the remains of a oneshot i might not finish but i don't want it to rot away forever so. Enjoy if you please.

When Evbo got to the iron sword level this time, he didn’t jump. He didn’t think he could. He had sat at the edge for a few minutes, trying to work up the nerve to stand. His breaths were deep and slow, and he tried not to move too much.

No dice. He was exhausted. Exhausted in a way he had never felt before.

It was preferable to the absolute fire that his entire lower half was in. Slowly, Evbo tried kicking out his legs. He hissed as the pain flared, and he carefully brought them back down. “Okay,” he whispered to himself. “Definitely a bad idea.”

He couldn’t just stay here, though. For as much as he wanted to slump over onto one of the columns and sleep, there was too much at stake. He had to find a way down to the golden sword level. Tabi was counting on him. Everyone in PVP Civilization was counting on him.

Taking another deep breath, Evbo closed his eyes and tipped over the edge.

He hit the water face first, eyes opening soon after impact. Ow ow ow. He didn’t know hitting water could hurt. That was just unfair.

Before he could run out of air, Evbo forced his legs to move towards the surface. He coughed a little, feeling his lungs burn. “Note to self: don’t do that again.”

Somehow, he managed to make himself float on his back. He tried to relax himself as much as possible, opting to focus his attention on the hole he just fell through. How many times had he made that exact drop? It had to have been close to fifty, at the very least.

With his mind still wandering, Evbo stayed in the pool for a second. Just a second, he told himself. It was cold, and the feeling of his clothes clinging to his skin was gross, but he felt better. The raging pain slowly died down to simple soreness.

He had to get out soon. Tabi was waiting for him, after all. But it wasn’t like she’d know if he was taking a long time. As long as he wasn’t seen by anyone else ranking up, it’d be fine.

He could rest here. Just for a little bit. - So here’s the thing: this started out slow. Unlike most things in Evbo’s life, in which he was either thrown into it or rushed into it himself. It crept up on him, like when he got sick from accidentally eating under-cooked food.

The pain all started with a simple throbbing in his back. A little above his tail bone, if he was being specific. Evbo had woken up from yet another failed attempt a little more disoriented than usual. He didn’t let that stop him from rolling out of bed.

He hissed as he stood, lower back stinging. Bump bump bump. Like a misplaced heartbeat. Evbo reached down and carefully touched the spot. It wasn’t tender, but as he pressed his fingers in it flared.

“Ow, ow!”

He had stood there for a second more, letting it die down before hitting his armor stand. Then he went through the motions once again. Stone sword, drop. Get escorted by his guard friend and make idle talk. Try not to think about the lack of reciprocation too much. Iron sword, drop. Check in with Tabi. Get not so subtly reminded that he needed to figure out the golden sword level.

Golden sword, drop. Die. Respawn.

The cycle was so ingrained in his head that Evbo didn’t think about anything else too often. The only room he left was for his video journal, noting down everything he had already tried so that he didn’t forget. He didn’t have time for anything else.

He didn’t have time to wonder about why the dull throb in his back was getting worse, or why it seemed to spread to his hips. Why his failed landings seemed more painful, why his legs spasmed when he thought about the drop. Why it seemed to take just a little more effort getting out of bed, or hitting his armor stand, or any of the other activities he did so often without end.

Evbo didn’t think about it at all, which was probably why it bit him in the ass so hard. - [note: there was supposed to be more to the beginning of this but i never wrote it lol]

Tabi looked conflicted, which, you know, wasn’t exactly new. She always looked conflicted when she talked to Evbo, like she had bitten into a poisonous potato. But this time she really seemed to be wondering about something.

Had he said something wrong? He hoped it wasn’t too bad. He didn’t know the first thing about being a friend, but you weren’t supposed to make your friends upset. Right?

“Are you… do you know what a period is?”

Evbo paused. He stared. And he stared.

“…what’s that?”

The tension in her face immediately went away. “Oh thank god,” she said under the breath, and was he supposed to be offended by that? He should’ve been, he thinks.

Tabi doesn’t give him a chance to respond. “And you’re sure you’re not bleeding? You could’ve missed it, considering that you’re you.”

The jab barely stung at this point. Evbo snorted. “I think I’d know if I was bleeding.”

“That makes my life easier.”

Evbo shifted from where he was on the floor, moving so that his lower back wasn’t right up against the wall. It felt like a tight pressure was released from his pelvis. The pain was still there, but it was a little bit more bearable now.

“So… let me get this straight. Everything from the waist down hurts?”

“Yeah? Mostly in my legs, but it’s not like my hips are doing any better.”

“And this started a few deaths ago?”

More like too many. “Uh… I think?”

Tabi shook her head. “Then why did you keep trying to jump down to the gold level?”

Evbo straightened himself up, for once semi-successfully ignoring the pain. His face burned with embarrassment, though he’d never admit that. “We need to get out of here! I can’t stop just because I ache a little!”

"You can barely stand right now.”

“Yes, I can.”

Tabi crossed her arms. She didn’t say anything, but Evbo got the message clear enough. Go on. Show me.

Taking a deep breath, he bent his knees, planting his feet on the ground. Then he pushed himself up. Evbo grinned. See? I told you.

“Anyway, it was nice talking with you, but I hear my video journal machine calling.”

Tabi wrinkled her nose, but she didn’t say anything about it. They were finally making some progress!

“Just… get some rest before you attempt the jump again.”

“I’ll be fine.” Evbo made his way over to her door, unsheathing his sword and hitting the armor stand. “I love that you’re worrying about me, but it’s really not needed. It’s not like-“

He stopped himself. Not like what? What was he about to say?

it’s not like you’ve cared before

“…yeah, well, you’re my partner. Anything happens to you and I’m stuck here.”

“Aw, so you do love me!”

“Get out.” - Once he laid down, Evbo found it hard to want to get up.

He couldn’t even make it to his bed. The climb up to his PVP mansion was like what he imagined swimming upwards felt like. As soon as his door closed, he made a few steps towards it before deciding that the extra effort wasn’t worth it. So he laid on the floor, the cold hardness somehow comforting.

Carefully, he rolled over onto his back. He let out his breath nice and slow, imagining himself deflating. This was nice, all things considered. His pool was nice too, but the subtle movements always made it hard to truly relax. The floor was solid. With all of his falling lately, he kinda hated moving around.

Maybe he could take a nap. Tabi did say he should get some rest. It wouldn’t be as comfortable as his bed, but he couldn’t find it in himself to care. At least then his pain would be self-inflicted.

Evbo yawned.

Yeah, a nap was a good idea. - “…vbo. Evbo!”

Evbo groaned. Something was shaking him. Wait, no, that was someone. That was a hand on his shoulder.

Who was waking him up? Was a nap really so much to ask for?
