Two steps ahead.

Dipper was two steps ahead.

omgg i might die

So stay with me

When I was watching this scene my mouth was agape. i was so.. speechless

This was SO fucking cool, honestly. Ranboo’s acting there at the end genuinely terrified me, it was so believable. Like he was literally BEGGING us to end this. What an amazing thing to have been able to watch! I’m so proud of him! I’ll probably have more thoughts to get out later, but just…holy SHIT.

AGHHHH I LOVE THEMM

Young Royals Forever!

obsessed with the Helena and Irving parallel and what it says about the aspects of our identity we think are fundamental (but aren't)...

Like Outie Irving assumes his Innie is just as radically anti-Lumon as he is. He assumes his hatred of Lumon is something ingrained in his personality! That's why he stays up at night drinking coffee and making paintings, because he hopes that when his innie dreams about the testing floor, he'll say "okay bet" and start exploring. That's what Outie Irving would do, after all. But he miscalculated! His hatred of Lumon isn't inherent--- his desire for meaning and art and spirituality is inherent. That's what his hatred for Lumon is built on. But in a world where there's no meaning outside of Lumon propaganda, of COURSE his innie would become ridiculously devoted to the company.

And Helena!! She is the corporation, that's her whole identity. She presumably assumed that Helly would be just as pro-Lumon as she is. But she miscalculated too! Her devotion to the company isn't inherent, her headstrong and entitled nature is what's inherent! And in a world where she's denied any agency whatsoever, that manifests as rebellion.

It's the same dynamic flipped on its head. They both sent their innies in there with opposite intentions--- one to take down the company, one feed the company's expansion--- only to realize that rebellion and devotion aren't inherent characteristics. Their innies have become the exact opposite of their outie selves, while still being exactly the same!! Because even though your personality is inherent, the values you hold are determined circumstantially. OUGH IT'S SO GOOD.

OMGG dont think about ranboo screaming over and over "LET ME LIVE, LET ME LIVE" using all the energy he has left to plead for their life but showfall wanted a climactic and dramatic ending. They didn't want ranboo to be free and have a chance at living a normal life. They wanted to use them for content until, death.

thinking about how ranboo’s mask was flashing during the vote as they beg us to kill him

was that even them talking? what if he wanted to live? what if they wanted another chance at life, another chance to escape, but we listened to “him”

were we naïve to assume showfall was actually letting ranboo talk to us?
