Ok, Fellas, Are Ya Ready For The Part Two Of My Fit Post?

Ok, fellas, are ya ready for the part two of my Fit post?

Actually, @sundropsimp (sorry for tagging) gave me this idea and made me reciprocate on something I thought about for a long time, but never got the chance to speak about. So, I might see some deeper meaning in nothing, but I think qFit tries very hardly to separate himself from 2b2t.

Like, instead of destroying he repaires/builds; instead of hiding and going from place to place, he stays, makes himself his forever home; instead of distrusting, he finds friends and even a son. He desperately tries to better himself, yet there's one interesting thing.

Remember in my last post abt Fit I listed three specific people. Philza, Pac and Ramon. I think they're a very crucial people in his life, a pillars that help this veteran to grow and progress.

But the moment he lost them all, he jumps right back into his old habits. Once there was a stream where Fit went to the ship, where Ramon lost his first life, and burned this place to the ground. Why do I call it strange, if Fit is quite chaotic? Well, it's because smt in this moment felt different. Then after some long time he was truly alone. His son was kidnapped, so was Philza (or he wasn't online, can't remember), and Pac wasn't on server to keep Fit company. He wanted to let his frustration out and in doing so he regressed to his old self. Convincing himself it's a normal reaction, fighting and mocking his enemies (not jokingly as usual, but like very hard) and burned this ship to the crisp, laughing. I dunno if it was intentional or not, but I feel this moment shows how easy it is for Fit to return to his 2b2t self without his loved ones. I don't think it was intentional, but I like it.

(Also, as a (platonic) Fitza enjoyer and Fitpac fan I adored their venture together today. Like, Fit and Pac seeing what a bad state Phil is letting him join, even if it meant no date for them. And then they three watched a sunset together and hugged.... They're just too precious to me.)

Thinking again about the parallels between qFit's past and present. Because currently, on the island, it's very clear that he isn't exactly like everyone else; he's too untrusting and untrustworthy, he's less than a good man, he's hiding things and may hurt anyone if it seems necessary. He never stopped being the person he was in the wasteland.

And yet, back in the wasteland, he had the opposite effect. He wasn't like other people; in the sense that, despite being a griefer and a murderer, he was a better person than everyone else. He wouldn't destroy unless he needed to. He wouldn't kill without a good reason. Compared to the other citizens he was a fucking saint. He would preserve history and tell people's tales and show marginal care for others; and was mocked for it.

There was one particular happening that makes me so soft for him as a character and shows his complexities so much. During a base hunting stream, a good while ago, he found a home. A small colonial home with a little manicured lawn and a guest bedroom and a postbox. Beside the postbox there was a note inviting people to leave a letter to the owner, and to stay in the spare bedroom if needed. Where most people would have destroyed the home, Fit explored it. Where most people would have ravaged the chests of all of their valuable items, the only thing Fit stole was enough resources to make a book, in which he wrote a thank you note and left it to the homeowner.

The thing is, he knew the home would eventually be destroyed. He must have. Once one person finds a base, everyone else finds it, he knew that full well. He could have taken the credit; blown it sky-high. But he didn't. He had a choice, and chose to honour a person's home while it still existed.

One of the most compelling aspects of qFit's characterisation is you can easily claim he's past the point of redemption because of all of the terrible shit in his past, that he'll never stop being the person he was in the wasteland and so on and so forth. And you'd be both wrong and right.

He is fucked up, he is hauling a mountain of past sins around with him, he does have a whole lot more to stand trial for than most other islanders. But he'll never stop being the person he was in the wasteland; the patient, careful, astonishingly empathetic person he's always been. It was a lot more noticeable back then. It still stands now.

Maybe he really was made for a greater purpose. Maybe the island gave that to him. Maybe he was always meant to be a father, and a friend.

fit, who lived on 2b2t for years long enough he lost count.

fit, who was known for his work documenting 2b2t's history.

fit, who is covered in scars and knows how to cause chaos that doesn't compare to the other kind of chaos on this island.

fit, who made a house, a home, out of a lava cast.

fit, who has an uncanny smile and a dangerous look to his eyes whenever he's up to no good.

fit mc, 2b2t. the same fit that phil can trust when he says "that's real, phil. you're not dreaming."

fit, who is real.

quick sketch of the best qsmp member

I miss fitza, tails. I miss them a lot.

(I can't keep up with purgatory, but go, Bollas Rojas étoiles, go!!!)

I miss fitza so very much. Them talking, joking, flirting, helping fight each other's demons. Mb I'll write a part two to my previous post on them.

Btw, I really love purgatory. It is heavy for me and I really have no time or motivation to watch the streams, but I think it's one of, if not the best events. All this teams, mods, hecking loading screens and lore are perfect. The new way for people, who previously had little way to express their talents, to show their skills. Every cut scene is a miracle, and I can't thank enough the admins and Big Q himself for planning and making this event possible. Go, team Bollas Rojas, and good luck to Soul Gay Fire! Green Gay Ninjas were perfect, it was good while it lasted.

I need fitza after this. I need them to still besties. The one is the gun to the other's bullets. The allies and best friends. Please.....

With all this hcs about Philza perching on people he trusts, I think I have some fun contribution. I've heard that birds have a special reflex/muscle that prevents the fall when birdies sleep.

So imagine Philza perching on, for example, Fit and falling asleep after a few hours of talking. 2b2t veteran understands it and lets him perch for a bit, but once he tries to take Phil down or brush him off, he just can't. No matter how hard he tries. And only after Philza wakes up Fit can continue with work.

Crow father always apologizes, but everyone finds it adorable.

Until we meet again.....

(Happy Halloween btw)
