nightmare. or, a “double victory” and its consequences

Seeing Etho constantly fighting his urges to protect and take care of his teammates because they don't want it this season.

And he's constantly using his side alliance with Gem and Joel as an outlet and deferring to doing even the silliest things for Bdubs when he does ask for something.

Because the Tuff Guys are supposed to take care of themselves, but it's always come so much more naturally to Etho to take care of other people.

Okay so it doesn't seem like the Spanners are gonna disband, but I am also noticing potent foreshadowing for a Bad Boys-like end, in which Grian is alone and has to hunt for a new alliance. It would be sad but interesting to see how that goes for him

Also, I am slightly disappointed to no longer believe in the possibility of a Jimmy win solely because his team-up this season would make it hilariously ironic. Buddy got down to red at one point, I do NOT have faith in him (affectionate)

Finally, I have a question:

You and a super intelligent snail both get 1 million dollars, and you both become immortal, however you die if the snail touches you. It always knows where you are and slowly crawls toward you. What's your plan?

[thatstoomanysausages]

Anyone making some insane connections right now?

Grian having the widow curse? A name which correlates to a type of deadly spider? And he names his doom tower the ‘Spider’s Nest’?

Grian, I love you for every name you drop, because they are all bangers.

guys how are you so fast to find my posts. i can make a post and five seconds later there’s a notification in my inbox saying that someone liked/reblogged it. why are you so quick. are you running from The Horrors perchance. mayhaps even fleeing from the reality that, as the world is slowly becoming a living hell, all you can do is scroll on tumblr and seek answers as to what the morality and lawfulness of the posts are. what are you running so fast from. your world? your repetitive, mundane existence that we all must suffer through? yourself?

why are you this fast?

[definitelynotshouting]

hello gang its been far too long since you received scarian kisses from me

luckily i am here to change that<3 massive shout out to @sculkshrieking for giving me this idea and @shaklyart for the absolutely GORGEOUS animatic that fully sparked this discussion in the first place, seriously please go give it some love guys its incredible. Anyway woe, TJ Shouting smooches be upon ye >:]

"... Don't kiss me," Grian breathes, so low and heady that it fills Scar's head with light, a clean and dizzy wash over everything still lingering between them. Here, in this microscopic space, there are no grains of sand; no loneliness; no secrets; no cruel and counting timer. Only them, and a warmth beginning to boil, rolling in with the same potent energy of a summer thunderstorm.

And it's so, so easy to let Scar's task do the work for him.

So Scar tips forward, closing the space between them once more— catches Grian's lower lip between his teeth, rolling it into his mouth with slow, deliberate motions. Grian's breath audibly hitches; both hands lift to frame Scar's face, tangle in his hair, and the firm tug of fingers gripping him at the roots has Scar gasping into the kiss. He retaliates by releasing Grian's bottom lip, only to shift the angle to catch his cupid's bow, nipping at the sensitive skin— until Grian sucks in another shaky breath, fingers tightening, mouth falling lax against his. Scar soothes away the sharp sting, folding wordless apologies against Grian's mouth in a language beyond words, beyond any buzzing syllable that will never, ever leave his throat again.

Grian pushes in further, a ragged noise punching from his throat; the answering riptide of fervent affection threatens to drown Scar in liquid gold, and he drags Grian as close as he can get him, lips sliding leisurely over his, arms wrapping tight around his waist. Like this, they could be one person. Like this, there is only the aching stretch of their own bleeding hearts, a horizon of broken stitches— and the desperate, clawing urge to sew them back together again. To make them whole.

When they part, it's by less than an inch; Grian breathes in deep, the same air Scar exhales, and his lips brush Scar's with each tentative sway into each other's orbit, scattering electric sparks in their wake.

Grian's voice is, miraculously, even quieter and headier than before. "Don't—" His voice catches, cracking the word in half. "Don't kiss me." He leans forward, brushing his own featherlight kiss against Scar's lips. Back. "Don't kiss me." Swaying forth again, another kiss; this one just as a soft, just as syrupy. When Grian pulls back once more, his eyes are lidded. Then, pretenses stripped as clean from his voice as sun-bleached bone, he begs— he breathes: "Scar, please— just kiss me."

And Scar— bathed in the gilded sunset of their kiss-bruised memories, with his heart a hummingbird thrum in his throat— throws his task to the wind, and obligingly falls back in.

I want to make a full in depth post later explaining how scar could be each of them respectfully.

Also I need to say SOMETHING because I've been tormented by this for the past few days after having been made aware but yandere Pearl makes me so upset, imo it's such a disservice to her character!! That or other interpretations that just make her out to be evil. I understand the appeal of the trope and for AUs and stuff, ofc go wild!! But that is very much not what happened in DL canon and anyone who thinks that she's only interesting with the yandere trope attached is a fake fan!! Pearl was labelled crazy and of course she leaned into it, because what else does she do? Nobody wants her, everyone believes she's lost it, so she might as well!! At the very least it serves as some intimidation that Pearl CAN use to her advantage but did she ever want to? She's not crazy for Scott, not by any stretch of the imagination. She wanted some kind of approval, or acceptance. She didn't just want Scott to herself or whatever argument people try to make and she most certainly wasn't evil or cruel. Many times when people were getting up to mischief, Pearl didn't take large part if at all even if she was there. She often played along and, yeah, she played along, like most Lifers would, no? I can see how her behaviour could be observed as obsessive when she keeps trying to settle near Scott but, I don't even know how to articulate my thoughts other than to reinforce that that wasn't her obsessing over Scott. I suppose you could view Pearl as evil depending entirely on what you classify as evil in a death game where most everyone has to kill anyway, and where a lot of people commit arson and stuff (Joel killed some Jellies, loved to bully Jimmy, retaliated having the Relationship burnt down by burning every other establishment he could, is he also evil? What makes Pearl evil? Does she just get called that more because Joel is expected to be a menace by default?), but there is so much more nuance there than some form of "she flipped on a dime in session 1 and immediately became a crazy ex after a breakup". But you know what, that's what Scott wanted people to believe and if anyone in the fandom does then I have news for you

Also I'm not trying to say that playing a villain character is bad (Scott is such a villain though not at all a plainly visible one, and he's very compelling as a character) nor am I trying to make Pearl out to be some totally innocent sweetpea. Or maybe I am. #Pearl did literally nothing wrong to warrant this (but like, art of her being girlboss and stuff goes hard still, she OWNED the scene still when she embraced the label. She was mad cool, but it's not "being evil" that makes a character mad cool)

(PS don't take this too seriously, although I do heavily disagree with this interpretation personally, I'm not police and also I love all the Lifers including Scott dearly. Reminder that this is just about the characters they play and it's reasonable for viewers to believe his story foremost if they've only watched his POV and such, I think)

Etho cares deeply about Bdubs, but I don't think he's fully comfortable in their dynamic.

On one hand, I think Etho feels like he's someone Bdubs is always keeping on the backburner, and I think he resents it. Their relationship has never been one sided, per say, Bdubs often contributes to their relationship, that's not the problem. The problem is that Etho often feels like he's the second choice for Bdubs to actually throw his lot in with. It feels like Bdubs always wants a room in the house, never to share a home with Etho. Which can lead to Etho pulling back or lashing out from resentment.

On the other hand, I think Etho blames himself too. He's failed to protect Bdubs before, after all. Why would Bdubs put full faith in him? Why wouldn't Bdubs prioritize better options, options that won't send him off to die alone? Etho has never seen himself as a protector (not one worth any good, anyways), and it only makes sense to him that Bdubs would feel the same.

And on some level, I'm not sure it matters who Etho blames. Sometimes he resents Bdubs, sometimes he loathes himself, but either way, Etho is a protector (no matter what he or bdubs think), and it will always be his deepest instinct to be there, first, second, or last choice. And that's why Etho and Bdubs will never just stay away from each other.
