I Like To Imagine That The Original Team Bolas Still Met Once In A While After Purgatory. They'd Been

i like to imagine that the original team bolas still met once in a while after purgatory. they'd been through much, how could they possibly let go of the bonds that literally and metaphorically held them together through hell?

but as time passed, their meetings grow less frequent. routine takes over as they welcome new guests, take care of the eggs, and learn new mechanics.

slowly, purgatory just feels like a nightmare that passed months ago. was it even real?

but it feels real when baghera wakes up in the middle of the night, squawking for someone she called dad.

it feels real when cellbit waits, not knowing he's waiting for a funny quip from charlie or carre. he doesn't remember when was the last time he saw either of them.

it feels real when foolish turns to make a funny remark at jaiden, but she's not there anymore. at least this time it wasn't with a pile of her own bodies left in her wake.

it feels real when phil is struggling to maintain control over his own mind, grasping on to his children to remind himself of what kept him going through literal hell.

it was hell.

and it was real.

with the amount of corrupting that's happening to different islanders (see: etoiles, badboyhalo, philza), it's a wonder why the federation hasn't done anything about it. do they think this is normal, that it's all part and parcel of life on quesadilla island?

or are they complicit, and it's just part of their experiments?

Putting this thread here too because I’ve seen no one else say it and it’s important, and idk who’s gonna see or spread it on twitter

just so we’re all abundantly clear:

you have your confirmation FROM WILBUR’S LIPS that they dated. you have that as a proven fact since they’ve both confirmed that.

and then you have a word-of-mouth statement about “evidence” which wasn’t provided and could be faked. choosing to blindly forgive wilbur over evidence that you don’t even know exists is choosing the alleged abuser over the victim. just to be perfectly crystal clear.

couldn't have said it better myself. abuse is abuse, the fact that his statement downplayed his actions is sickening.

if you support wilbur soot, unfollow me.

support shelby, support victims.

with wilbur statement out, i’m getting this out of the way.

if you support wilbur, please don’t follow me.

the lack of apology, accountability and understanding is sickening.

consent can be taken away at any time.

read that again.

consent can be taken away at any time.

therapy and his “great strides” in such does not take away from the abuse shelby went through.

the “apology” was self centered at best and the lack of a genuine apology is disheartening

i do not support wilbur soot. i stand by shelby.

everyone take care of yourselves.

The drastic aftermath
