Gray - Chances To Walk Away

Riddle and Azul🖤💔

It's very easy to categorize the overblot as a breakdown- but all of them have a different type of lashing out.

Riddle's behavior is a trauma response. He is not listening; instead, he is solely focused on himself, which is a reaction to not feeling heard compared to his mother. She is the person he fears the most, and although he hates that he loves her, he feels conflicted. She was supposed to help him grow, but instead, she only shielded him from the realities of life.

Leona is driven by fear. He’s afraid of finishing in first place because he’s so accustomed to starting from second. The thought of being vulnerable, admitting his fears, and acknowledging his struggles terrifies him. He is so frightened that he resorts to using dirty tricks.

Azul struggles with vulnerability; he avoids opening up or confronting his past. He remembers the child he was forced into hiding and a life of learning just to endure. This child has grown up to prefer lies over sincerity, believing that deception has brought him further in life.

Jamil is determined to gain control over his own life and choices. He feels this control is lacking due to his family's affiliation with Kalim. While he strongly desires control, this desire becomes unhealthy when it extends to others.

Vil is driven by his desire for recognition. He wants to be perceived as exceptional, a model that cannot be compared to others or regarded as inferior. He seeks to control how others view him to the extent that he is willing to manipulate their perceptions, which includes putting others down.

Idia struggles with trauma. He never overcame the death of Ortho or the events that affected him and his family. Forced to grow up quickly, he now finds himself unable to do many things that others take for granted. He struggles to communicate with people, suffers from low self-esteem, and experiences profound fear. This fear leads him to isolate himself in his room, as it feels like the only way he can cope with life.

Malleus explores the theme of loss—loss of a loved one, loss of oneself, loss of one's past, and loss of purpose. It reflects on the fear of change and the inevitability of things never being the same once someone you deeply care about is gone, even if it’s not your fault.

Gaty and Two together are so beautiful. They may be doomed by the narrative but at least queerplatonic love is alive and free

I think Gaty's genuinely been growing more as a person because of Two. Her in Bfb is snarky, whiny, and kind of annoyed and lazy. She doesn't take Book's complaining and is the one to actually confront her about how her issues are messing with the team, which is really admirable.

I think she's become a lot nicer and laid back in TPOT, starting after episode 2, when she started her connection with Two. In TPOT 6 she goes out of her way to think up a plan to make Two dinner. She's still mean and snarky sometimes (which is really good because if not I think she just would not be the same character anymore), but she's also really kind.

One thing I think about a lot is how she's shown to fear elimination a lot in BFB, but goes out of her way to help Two even though that was the riskiest option and would most likely have gotten her eliminated. She has never been one for self-sacrificial behavior, but she did it for her friend.

Gaty also helped Two discover things about themselves and helped them with their problems, causing Two to cling to her like, a lot. She is the first person Two goes to for personal help. Even when they are infected and in a dangerous situation where they have the urge to hurt everyone, Two gravitates towards Gaty. This amount of trust and love is beautiful,

but there will be times where she can't be there to help them, even if they need her. Relying on this one regular person to help you with your hyperspecific problems is not healthy in the long run. Two 'giving back to her' by helping her out would be great, except that would make the game unfair (she does get tons of unintentional good karma for being a good friend though! like with the Two sandwich, and convincing Two that the beam was good, and Two sending her to the elimination area to keep her safe)

I've been forgetting to post this for like a week anyway autisming on main HELLO ERASERDROP NATION!!

I need some help
