Second Post In This Thread Of Rambles!

Second post in this thread of rambles!

(ONCE AGAIN, MAJOR SPOILERS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.)

Onto the Hotel folk! And.. hooh boy.

So.. Mephone still hiding in the closet, coming to terms with his secret being spilled to the finalists, huh? Wasn't expecting Tissues to show up in this scene honestly, but Suitcase finally snapping and the realisation that characters are being killed off when they know too much?? AUGHHHH chef's kiss, mwah! This also foreshadowing Fan's death when he figures out that the egg IS Mephone is honestly hilarious in hindsight. I forgot to mention in the last post but his whole ramble where he infodumps the ENTIRE lore to Paintbrush just from overanalyzing mountains is just. SO Fan.

ANYWAYS we move onto Tacomic reunion! The long awaited kiss and make up between these two finally happened! (Well, not the kiss but yk.)

I honestly thought this scene was pretty cute! And I appreciate Mic for setting Taco straight in her thinking; she apologized for the wrong reasons, and I'm glad she gave Mic an honest apology here. Growth, people! Growth! :D

We also have.. THIS reveal. Gonna be honest, I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I am SO happy that Toilet isn't dead. On the other.. I feel like this is both so out of character, yet so IN character, y'know? I'm not sure how I feel about the whole "MephoneX isn't just a mindless killing machine" thing - I personally think it would've worked better if he was just a servant to Cobs, but that's just my two cents. Toilet doing Cob's bidding? I.. hm.

See, I can't really see him actively murdering the contestants; that doesn't feel like him.. at all! He cared about them just like Mepad did, and I just.. feel like it was so out of character for him??

On the other hand, him wanting to prove himself as a good assistant, being manipulated by A.D.A.M, as well as him (almost accidentally) stepping into the villain role that Mephone initially thought of him?? I CAN see that, and it was well executed, too! I'm also just. REALLY happy to see Toilet - his new voice is great, too! Props to the VA, his line about wires at the end of the video made me CACKLE.

We also have the Toipad crumbs that I was so hoping to get, so I'm ECSTATIC. It was a lot less angsty, too! THEY ACTUALLY SPOKE! :,D

This was something I forgot to mention, but. These two are adorable honestly. I LOVE Pepper supporting Paper, especially after Salt acted WAY out of line. I can see them being besties outside of all of this :3

Finally for the Hotel segment, we have this scene!

..Oh my god. This scene.

YEAH SO HOW ARE WE FEELING, CHAT? GOOD? I KNOW I'M NOT! First of all just. SILVER APPEARING?? Dude the emotional whiplash I got seeing him was just. AUGH MY BOY WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU :((

And all the messages being written on the contestants' faces? A cruel reminder of the stereotypes Mephone created them to be?? And the fact that a vast majority of them were just. Killed off, then and there? YOU'RE TELLING ME STEVE WAS HEARTLESS ENOUGH TO KILL GOO?? LOOK AT HIS FACE!! THAT'D BE LIKE KILLING A PUPPY YOU SADISTIC FUCK??

Yeah safe to say this scene had an impact on me. Also noted how Salt is the "trend setter", whilst Pepper is the "trend follower"? Hm. Interesting. Seems Salt was always meant to be the more important one.

(Fucking episode 12 foreshadowing yet again GOD DAMNI-)

Anyways, onto MeCloud!

So I've been compiling images (and composing myself), I think I'm ready to give my two cents. This'll be broken up into parts because only 10 images per post, so look forward to uh.. a lot! :,)

(MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE EPISODE 17 UNDER CUT)

We're starting with the Purgatory Mansion crew! And ohhh holy FUCK do I have a lot to say about them. First of all just. Fuck. God. Fan rambling during Test Tube's death, trying to keep himself composed?? And his denial of her death, just.. broke me. Painty having to be the one to snap him back into reality and TELL him that she's dead?? AUGHHHH 😭😭

ALSO THE PHONE?? MAN. THAT. THAT HURT.

SPEAKING OF PAINTBRUSH!

Okay I just. I genuinely this this was THE most gut-wrenching scene of II. Period. FUCKING PROPS TO JAZZY MOTHERFUCKING OLIVER CAN I LIKE. MARRY HER?? (/PLATONIC)

Okay so if y'all know me I'm pretty sure you know by now Paintbrush is my favourite OSC character. EVER. Their entire arc, their story, it just. It means so, so much to me. They're the entire reason I discovered I was nonbinary in the first place. They helped me find ways of dealing with anger in a healthy way. This fuckin' paintbrush has done more for me than I think.. ANY other fictional character in the history of ever?? This scene?? I genuinely nearly threw up from how hard I was sobbing.

Also can I just say how glad I am that Jazzy is voicing Paintbrush?? Like I don't think I've mentioned this enough but her vocal skills in this scene were PHENOMINAL and she SERIOUSLY did Painty justice. Good lord when they started crying I screamed out loud. Just. Lightbulb sacrificing herself for them, the whole "you need to be the leader now" thing?? Painty sitting there whilst all their friends die around them and they just have to sit there?? They can do nothing about it?? FUCK.

Them trying so hard to fight for her?? To SAVE her?? I just. I can't.

Not to mention just. This. Fuck. I'm a hardcore lightbrush shipper through and through so to me this is the equivalent of a child just trying to support their parent through the death of the other parent, but. Even if you see them platonically this hits DEEP. Their best friend, their rock, the silly to their serious, just died in front of them. The only things remaining being her lifeless corpse and a crab that she once gifted to them in memory of their friendship. Plus the symbolism of their flame dying out when Lightbulb dies?? BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO FIGHT FOR?? ADAM ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME.

Yeah can you tell I love these guys?? (I'd post the image of Painty BEGGING Bow to tell them how to get back from death, but 10 images per post limit fucked me over :P)

(Hotel folk next!)

I swear to god I need to be hooked up to a heart monitor during these streams because I nearly started sobbing then and there 😭

"Does anyone else hear that?" Is NOT a sentence you want to hear from an II character. I think I've genuinely been Pavlov'ed into fight-or-flight when I hear it now.

this part on the stream actually gave me a heart attack

Can I just say this is PERFECT timing I was literally gonna draw a swap AU for the dead contestants soon >:3c

II EPISODE 17 TRAILER SPOILERS!!

I. Am going to be sick.

WHAT THE FUCK???

Lightbulb using the clicky pen again?? BAXTER?? Seems her facade is finally cracking; she's beginning to realise how serious this situation is and that is TERRIFYING.

FUCKING. KNIFE?? AND SUITCASE?? DEATHMATCH?? Oh my GOD I'm not prepared for this FUCK DO YOU MEAN IT'S RELEASING IN LESS THAN A WEEK?? ADAM?? JUSTIN?? BRIAN?? AAAAAAAAAA

Paper yelling at Salt is intriguing to say the least. Not sure what it'll be about, possibly OJ? But DAMN.

"It'll give you some time to process! I know ya need it :)" FUCK YOU STEVE.

We also get confirmation possibly on who is still alive, though Yinayang notably isn't there. Soap is also gone, though I had my suspicions that she died off-screen. Mephone X also showing up near Purgatory Mansion is NOT helping my suspicion that at least one of the Bright Lights will die. POSSIBLY Lightbulb, though my bets are still on Fan.

Just. AUGH I'M SO NOT READY FOR THIS 😭😭 JUSTIN YOU MADLAD YOU KEPT YOUR WORD AND RELEASED THE TRAILER EARLY BUT GOD I DON'T KNOW IF I WAS READY FOR IT...

JUSTIN PLEASE

Here's my predictions before part 17 drops! (Template made by @dicediceking :D)

(Wait, what's that sou-)
