My Interpretation of the Subscriber Specials regarding the Tpot/Bfb timeline as of Tpot 17

(theories + rambling + a million questions i would like people to yap about cus i cant be the only one wondering whats going on)

Theres reason to believe that subscriber specials could be prequels (the first ones being before 4 and x left for bfb and so on)

We see that 6 is the last remaining being in the playground (this info can still be unreliable since 6 is in hiding(?) and seems to be running away from an active threat

Theres reason to believe that this threat is 2763 from the latest subscriber special except it doesnt make sense-

1) 6 was taken by 2763 that episode

2) 2 was also taken and yet theyre out and about- if 2763 was still a threat i doubt 2 would leave their homies with 2763 (also 2 left to host a show not to save themself)

3) The zero with the cap and i believe the other zeroes were left alone by 2763, where are they now?

This seems more like a timeline issue rather than 2763 not fitting the bill as a threat-

I propose that the debut of 2763 happened way before tpot during bfb, before 2 left to crash and host- this could explain why 4 and x arent there🤷‍♀️

I believe that the aftermath of 2763s attack also happened before 2 left as well given that 2s reasons for leaving felt more personal rather than for survival

Although 2763 could still very well be what caused whatever happened to the playground, I am not sure if 2763 is the problem or if there even is an active threat in the first place-

With the knowledge given in the tape- 6 wouldn’t have been hiding in a tree (given that it advised them to go underground instead of high places) and the zeroes would probably still be there, not only that the red sky is gone and 2763 only wanted to keep them in jail so where are they now? And why does 6 stay?

What caused the others to leave might have been something else.

(maybe idk i feel kinda redundant lmao)

I also have reason to believe that the others leaving and their reason for leaving might have happened AFTER 2 left to create tpot (because if there was a threat 2 knew of, i doubt they wouldnt leave their homies behind unless it was the others that made them decide to leave in the first place)

then again im not sure if the subscriber specials are canon el o el

Onto Present Canon!! Whew boy Im sure im not the only one who noticed the state of 1s dimension- 2 episodes ago when the possible end of the universe was happening she was calm, calculating, confident perhaps too confident

I can agree with others that confidence and ego is what caused her to be careless of donut and the portal, although they caught him anyway- Im surprised she went straight to outright yelling, emotional manipulation and idk pulling his limbs instead of trapping him there instead until he signed the deal in the first place (in hindsight she could have been rushing for the sake of whatever shes waiting for happening soon)

I wonder too what 1s goal is (please yap id like to yap back)- its clear it isnt just 2s power on the table considering that the whole destroying the universe and bringing objects to the playground feels like a bit too much effort (wouldnt she want the competition to go faster otherwise?)

1 seems really powerful and is technically free from the moon and able to go wherever they want to so why go through all that effort to screw with the timeline and putting cracks in the universe- surely there was another way to get gaty to sign I suppose :/

Also why does she need them to go in 4s mind? Why is 6 trying to contact 4? Do 4, 2 and x also know the state of the playground? (I saw some theories that 1 could be trying to contact 3 so I wanna know what yall think)

I also wonder if the door the previous tpot contestants were trying to open was 2s gateway to the playground but because it doesnt exist in the playground world (otherwise 6 would have seen it) it cannot open from the inside (it could also be 1s interference) unlike 4s door that exists in both worlds hence its openable-

Also how would they escape 2?

Not only that does 2 know about 1s involvement or is she interfering to make sure they dont know (i think its pretty obvious 4 and x have no clue🤷‍♀️)

Regardless 10/10 episode would like another one soon 🕊️

TPOT 17 spoiler :]

TPOT 17 SPOILERS !!

ARGGAGRHA IM SO MAD WHY WOULD THEY MAKE TREE GIVE AWAY HER TOKEN MY GIRL ☹️ anyways my yaoi ! I'm so happy ! Them ! Ily biologyjam / treenut !

A what now?

Slowly beating the art block, Donut finally getting his arms back after months is nice for him after what he just went through.

Not to happy with my Donut design, probably going to change it.

Here's a version with Ice Cube's legs since those were the ones YF stole originally.

Everyone gets to be a little selfish

So TPOT 17 was Peak, had to draw my favourite scene.

TPOT 17 SPOILERS

Ok so it's finally out and I need to word vomit about it cause this episode was PEAK

First off Pen being sad and watching Blocky's old show for comfort, at least TV is finally doing something. Pen is going through some shit losing both his best friends and seeing it expanded upon is great.

IM SORRY BASKETBALL IS JUST HERE?? SHES OKAY?? I had thought One kidnapped her too but I guess not, but none of the other eliminated contestants mention anything about One. Has Basketball NOT SAID ANYTHING TO THEM!!??!! She was one of the people to resist their the deal and knew something was up. Even if One jumbled her speech or something so nobody could understand wouldn't they at least mention something?? Either way nice to see these guys again, also theories on where the EXIT door leads, I personally agree with it being either the second hotel door or equation playground. No Gatey though so they've more then definitely been kidnapped.

Oh Bottle's hosting this episode? Cool I like her silly vibes god knows CloudYay need it right now they stressed about the elimination. But also it's kinda sad seeing other people keep hosting for Two I really enjoyed them.

Pencil's panic attack was cool to see, last she remembers it was vote to eliminate so frankly it was pretty reasonable. Donut having to calm her down and remind her it's vote to save.

Anyway eliminations and honestly I think this was best case scenario. As much as I like Pillow and YellowFace most of the team was going through more important arcs. The only person I feel could be switched in without too much changing is Winner. Also YellowFace being so panicked and not wanting to go, things were finally going really well for him with Taggy. Hopefully they will be able to keep the warehouse going without him.

This whole scene with Fanny and Tennis Ball was cool, seeing how One is actively attempting to stop word spreading. I've already seen other people decipher the board so I'm not going to put it here (I'm lazy ik and also don't care).

Damn, Two still got depression and looks like shit, they're just bed rotting. I can't personally comment on how accurate the portrayal is but from what I've heard it's pretty accurate. Give them their wife back PLEASE I NEED TO SO THEM HOST AGAIN. Also i've seen people mention how Two is slightly paler and thinner from last episode which is concerning, hopefully they'll be okay. . .

THE FOURSE RETURNS HAHA IT'S SO ANGRY I LOVE HIM

Ok onto the contests I just had to mention this first.

The eating contest was some fun comic relief while everything else was happening, interesting teams to put on it as well. We got Black Hole sucking his up, Taggy selling theirs (nice to see the failed debuters out and about as well as the giant David) and Winner just... absorbing it? Liy being the only one who has to eat normally. Black Hole's little moral dilemma with the bugs was great, seeing him learn to balance the P.A.C.T with finishing challenges, he was trying so hard. Also Winner with the Loser O's, seeing that Loser maybe cared more about him then he thought, Also Loser not being famous anymore? Damn that episode really came back to haunt him.

I don't really have much to say about these guys, it was pretty tame compared with everything else going on. Nice to see Pen trying to branch out and connect with people.

Pencil and Book crash outs HOLY SHIT THIS WENT HARD! Pencil is traumatized from being in the E.X.I.T for years and wants things back to the way they were before with the alliance but has no idea how to convey her emotions properly which leads to her seeming obsessive and selfish. Her actions are sill bad but it's clear it's because she's hurt and traumatized and because of that is left emotionally unstable which leads to her accidently pushing away the people around her. Despite this I find Book pretty reasonable in her reaction if you look at it from her perspective, she had just managed to repair her relationship with Icy by giving her space and has practically forgotten about Freesmart till Pencil joined back. By this point Book has moved on and found new friends in Winner and Taggy but Pencil just comes in and expects Book to immediately want the alliance back. Book needed the same space Icy did for there to be a chance at healing their relationship but Pencil, unlike Book at that time, is highly unstable and unable to regulate her emotions so she suffocated Book which only leads to things getting worse. Pencil desperately needs some therapy.

In the end, Pen's talk with Pencil does give some hope at a redemption arc, it would be messy and painful but possible. Pen understands what it's like to lose all your close friends, and he could have become like Pencil except he still had people to catch him, namely Liy. Pencil had nobody going back into the game. Hopefully Pencil will listen to him and maybe Pen could continue helping Pencil become better.

Going back to some tamer stuff for a bit the haunted house group was interesting to watch. The writers finally gave TV something to do which is great but he's still one I wouldn't mind getting eliminated. The nature vs mechanical theme was interesting and just more showing of the slight negative bias towards mechanical minds from the contestants. Admittedly though Tree had a point for leaving TV to save both himself and Grassy but TV still had a right to be mad. Him controlling the spider mech was cool, Spid-TV lol. The fight scene was cool and just having Tennis Ball and the Fourse crash onto the mech was funny

Now onto the best part of the episode, Donut unironically just became on of my favourite characters now because of this episode. One's room is destroyed and she is clearly unstable, things are falling apart for her and Donut's ass is not helping that. He is suspicious from the start about the contract and is the first I believe to actually ask what's in it which One immediately deflects. As their interaction continues One becomes more and more agitated by Donut's refusal to sign, eventually having a full crash out while slamming him against a table and stealing his legs as well. Props to Donut here for sticking to his guns and not changing his mind despite having his last limbs actively ripped off which kinda reminded me of BFDIA Pin when her limbs were removed. Connection? Probably not but fun to note. Also notice how One has switched from manipulation and sweet talk to straight up threats and blackmail to get deals, most people left in the game to take for deals are smarter and questioning her which isn't great for One. Her facade is breaking apart as she has to put more and more effort into securing deals.

I also wanted to go into Donut getting his limbs back anyway at the end of the episode. I believe this could represent how One is actually quite powerless in a way. Sure she has her magic which we've seen to be very powerful but it can't control others. While we don't know right now why One needs to make deals with the contestants it's clear they're important to whatever plan she has. And to get those contracts the contestants have to actively sign them, she NEEDS the co-operation of the contestants and that's not something she can force through her magic, they always have the option to deny her no matter what she does. We see through this scene that the contestants don't need One to solve their problems and without her they will find a solution on their own. I like to think that if One hadn't interfered when she did for any of the deals they would likely solve their own problem soon after like shown here. And that's not even mentioning the POWER Donut has right now. While contestants like Fanny, Ice Cube, Gatey and Basketball know something is wrong, especially Fanny as we see her actively try to show Tennis Ball he research, they are all under contract. They have all accepted a deal. DONUT NEVER ACCEPTED THE DEAL AND NOW KNOWS WHATS GOING ON WITHOUT ONE BEING ABLE TO CALL IN A FAVOUR TO STOP HIM. He is now arguably the most powerful out of the resistance gang now due to this.

Now this last part is purely speculation so it could easily be proven false but I noticed how both Fanny and Ice Cube could make out their research while Tennis Ball couldn't. While this could just be One messing up his vision specifically what if knowledge about One determines if someone can see the board. Tennis Ball has never seen one like Fanny and Ice Cube and would, by this logic, not understand the writing. But Donut, who has seen one would be able to. I hope that makes sense.

In conclusion this episode was peak, thanks for listening to this long ass ramble
