So if Outlaw, Python, and Felix were stuck in the Tier 3 security stuff for 3 months did they have like

food?

I mean, it could have had them in some kind of stasis, but Michael said you could 'get trapped for years and die', so I'd assume that means there's still some sort of passage of time so is there like. Is there a fridge? Do they transport all the food in? Do they have Tier 3 DoorDash? Is there some kind of Fast Food system in there, à la the Pentagon KFC, like...?

And for that matter are there bathrooms? Like somewhere with a regular toilet, that's probably easy enough, but are there showers or were these people hanging around for 3 months unbathed?

And 3 months of hair growth too, which would be something like

≈ 1-2 inches/2-5cm, and depending on how long their hair was prior, this is either Extremely Noticeable or Entirely Unnoticeable, not to mention the potential for facial hair (though i refuse to believe Outlaw can grow a beard lmao, the other 2 might)

I just wonder how the meetup after went, for all sides of this excursion like

Felix had an appointment with some Ty before this (that he straight up just ditched lmao), and obviously the Compound is used to this type of thing, but if the other Ty's truly didn't know what was going on, it's still gonna be out of nowhere and a little bit confusing like

I'm imagining Ty trying to find where the hell Felix went, only for Felix to show up, hair slightly longer, also now w/beard, smells real bad, vhs in hand, slightly delirious

and Outlaw meeting up with Tex again, one of 'em needs a hair trim, the other got a leg trim, and they both definitely need a bath

and then Python... well, he's just living up to the Crust Punk name. Honestly, out of all of 'em, feels like the least likely to look noticeable different lol, but still quite an experience all around

But then they could also have looked exactly the same! Who knows!!

Anyways

Mike and Edgar themed collage

And on that note, if Ryan and Toph were casually out and about after Base came back, where did Hunter go?

[toast-in-a-cowboy-hat]

Hey

Mike and Hunter themed collage

[toast-in-a-cowboy-hat]

I hope whenever Tex comes back he's got a sick ass robot leg that Outlaw made for him, like, that man's gotta be able to come up with something cool

And like, you know Outlaw has to feel so bad

i mean we see how much Outlaw cares about him, all the effort he went through trying to find him, and then after everything, not only did he Not find Tex, Tex is coming back missing a leg, like he'd just feel awful

Combine all that with the fact that Outlaw almost definitely gotta be the one taking care of Tex since he's, ya know, a doctor, and I just think it'd be really funny if like

not only is Tex absolutely getting pampered, but Outlaw's trying to build a prosthetic, and he's just there trying to come up with the most outlandish shit he can think of, and Outlaw doesn't have it in him to outright say no right now, Tex asking for something insane and he just " oh uh...😟🥺ok.. ill do my best...😞" cut to him later "...why did i agree to adding lasers..."

I know everyone assumes, logically, that Outlaw knows, and I know here he could just be pretending he doesn't know BUT taking into account that it wasnt just him, that Blue also said he didn't think Tex could be Enlarging Bluster

Have we considered how much funnier it would be if Outlaw genuinely didn't know anything about the Paul Warehouse?

The whole debacle with the Felix Remix of biscuits and gravy is equal parts hilarious and unfortunate for me, in particular, because like, ya know, yeah, Oreos in beef granules, Oreos & Beef, that sounds bad.

To most folks at least, probably.

I, tragically, am haunted by the presence of, in my opinion, a much worse sounding execution of that general concept.

That beast being the Oreo Stuffed Cheeseburger.

Which is something I have seen, irl, at both local restaurants and fair grounds, and, as you might could guess from the name, is where they take a beef patty, put Oreos in the middle of said patty, and then follow it up with the rest of the steps one might take to produce a cheeseburger.

And it's been a while since I seen it, so I'm not entirely sure but I think they also put either icing, crushed oreos, or both, on top of the patty with the rest of the condiments.

I've seen another version too, the Deep Fried Oreo Cheeseburger, which is a cheeseburger with deep fried oreos on top, and then again I think the icing and maybe crushed oreos.

And who knows, maybe that actually sounds good to y'all, idk, but that seems worse to me. Like Felix's thing just got beef and oreo, cookie and sauce, these you have the beef and the oreo, but theres also cheese, mustard, onion, etc, etc... all along with a bunch more oreos, and none of those things are something I'd want near an oreo to begin with so.

Sounds bad!

But people eat and enjoy all of these things, I had people tell me that they thought it sounded bad, but it was actually surprisingly good!

And so! It's very funny to me because like, that means Felix is not entirely wrong! Oreo and beef is a flavor combo people enjoy, people would like his biscuits and gravy, there's places you can buy this sort of thing from out there in the world, right now.

There's even been kinda similar concepts served widespread via chain store like, you ever thought your cheeseburger wasn't sticky enough? Well, you're in luck, there was a point you could buy the Peanut Butter Bacon Cheeseburger, and also the Peanut Butter Bacon Milkshake, which yes, had real bacon chunks in it like Look at these things

People ate these People enjoyed these

To me that sounds awful, but a whole lotta people really liked them

And so between that and the Oreo Cheeseburger, I think Felix's true calling in life was to have some sort of food truck. Like, he should be at a state fair, making concoctions of questionable edibility that people are either disgusted by or adore, and instead, alas, he was British.

This man is gonna end up visiting Outlaw in Texas one day and accidentally start a trend, like, he's gonna invent the Brown Gravy Oreo Cheeseburger or some shit like that. We're gonna end up with Cowboy Felix where that's what he does now, no more assisting with horrific medical experiments, he's making his own, in the culinary field!

Let him have fun with strange food combinations, he deserves it

Y'all think Mikey figured out this was probably Ty or does he have this realization yet to come to?

[toast-in-a-cowboy-hat]

First, please consider the fact that as Helen's best friend, Ty almost definitely babysat Hunter at least once

Second, please also consider the fact that as Helen's Best Friend who has probably taken care of Hunter at least once, there's a non zero chance that Ty might also have been Hunter's godfather

Third, consider Hunter (at some indeterminate point) finding out about all this

Lastly, and this is the important one, please consider the comedic potential within that concept

[toast-in-a-cowboy-hat]

Nice of Tex to take Outlaw's British-ness into account for the drive here

[toast-in-a-cowboy-hat]

Tex gets a set of custom shirts in this style this for him and Outlaw but more importantly he Also gets a set for him and Bluster

Ok so, light spoiler warning, just in case

Personally, I don't consider it a spoiler because while the information is revealed in later seasons, it's not like, plot relevant information.

Like, it's in the back end of season 11 but not the main story line so, yeah anyways

I'm gonna start this off by saying that I don't think any of these characters have 100% firm beliefs about any iterations, literally all of them are hypocrites, like they have an overarching belief about it, but when it comes down to it, they will contradict themselves to fit their side if the situation calls for it and justify it to themselves and those around them later. Values and Beliefs are as unbending as a pipe-cleaner around here, babey, it's all about 'being correct', that's king above all else 😎😎

More specifically though, at the end of Episode 131, Felix says this:

So essentially, he thinks of iterations as different.

They aren't the same person, they can't be the same person.

So in relation to Outlaw leaving, his basic perspective would likely be that this is one person making a choice to leave and not indicative of what the other Ty's would do.

But even with that there's 2 other things to think about.

Ty's opinion on iterations is that they're all the same, they would all make the same choices if they had been in that same situation, because they're the same person, with the same way of thinking. This is relevant in this situation because, by Ty's own opinion, all of the Ty's would have done this, all of the Ty's would have left had they been in the same circumstances. Of course, the Ty's talk about it as if Outlaw was some kinda of mistake, that he wasn't careful enough, and so it doesn't count because They would Know Better, so there's that hypocrisy I was talking about lol. But, yeah, regardless of Felix's personal view on it, the Ty's theoretically all think they would have done the same thing, which would probably be a weird thing to think about were you in Felix's position, ya know? And then even disregarding that for my next point

Outlaw was still Felix's friend. Regardless of either of their opinions on iterative personhood and whether this was a fluke accident, something that holds true across all iterations, or the actions of one man irrelevant to all the other, Outlaw and Felix were friends. It would still be his friend deciding (once again for good reason) to leave, to run off and go do something else, with someone else, and given Felix's jealousy and possessiveness, I can't see him taking it with no issue whatsoever. Although, who knows, maybe this was a bit of a catalyst for him being so much more hostile to Helen later, but I do kinda feel like he'd be like that regardless lmao

But yeah, anyways

I'm probably honestly not the best person to do analysis like this, because I'm not entirely caught up, and I know things have been talked about in other places, like there's discussion in the Discord, there Q&As that have happened, there's just various bits and bobs that I'm not aware of, so there could be some kind of answer to this somewhere that I wouldn't know about, but it's stuff I think about so, idk, fun to see what other people think about it

I had something else I was gonna say here, but I have forgotten so I guess I shan't be doing that unless I remember later.

I wonder what Felix thinks about Tex?

Like with how jealous he was of Helen, I know the few times we saw him around Tex, he was generally polite, but he did sorta steal one of the Ty's, and I cannot imagine Felix is totally chill with that. So like, what's he think about him? Is he nice to him because he knows Ty likes him? Does he genuinely not mind because since Tex doesn't consider Ty his best friend? Does it not matter to him because Outlaw is just one of several dozen Ty's?

On that note, what's his opinion of Outlaw?

I mean, Outlaw is still a Ty and all, but he left.

He left the compound, he left Felix, left essentially everything behind to go live in Texas with some other guy.

Which, ya know, he did it for very good reason, and clearly he still cares a great deal about Felix, but regardless, he left.

Like that had to hurt, on some level, that had to hurt, to know that your best friend, this guy that you care about, that means so much to you, that you love, whatever way that may be, could just up and leave one day.

And I'm sure there's a sense of something adjacent to this with the other Ty's, with the way they have a tendency to treat lives as disposable, but that's mostly iterations and the fact that its pretty easy to bring someone back, and even then, they've always clearly valued Felix and his friendship with them evil Ty's notwithstanding , and the threat of 'leaving' is more 'don't go against me in a way that I'll have to put a stop to, I would do it, but neither of us would want that to happen', which is very different from ' I'm leaving because I want to do the right thing'.

Does Felix miss him? Is he mad at him? Is he upset? Is he happy for him? Is he glad he's enjoying himself, does he secretly hope somehow he'll come back, does he feel bad about being upset, do they text, have they not spoken since they last saw each other, does he think about him often, does he not think of him much at all?

I just. Wonder how he feels about it.

Anyways.
