Okay SO

Adding on to this real quick, Second's "attack mode" (as I call it) is only activated when he feels like his friends are in threatened, right?

Well this fight is probably because Red endangered Second's friends, including himself, by going through the portal. Especially since Second is blaming him in this moment.

Just a nice bit of consistent character writing ^^

I know that everyone and their mother has probably talked about the Lush Caves episode, but I need to add my thoughts or I will explode :)

(this turned out pretty long, so I put it under a cut just to be safe)

This fight has been set up since the end of the Witch episode, where Red basically convinces everyone else to trust Purple, going DIRECTLY against Orange.

Now, Orange had a good point. Every time the CG have gone into strange Nether portals they've ended up on a long traumatizing adventure that Orange has had to rescue them from. Rightfully, he doesn't want to go through that again.

But when Red (and subsequently the rest of the RYGB) don't listen, it causes tension, and sets in motion a time bomb that blew up when those two were stuck in the desert.

(Kudos to Alan and his animation team for getting this all across in a purely visual manner, they did an amazing job!)

They are both hungry and tired, their emotions are threadbare, and it turns into a blame-game.

Orange says that it's Red's fault that they're stuck out here because he went through the portal. If they hadn't, they could have been at home right now!

Red says that at least they had had fun, home was boring.

Orange bites back by saying now he and Red were going to die out here, and they didn't even know where Blue, Yellow and Green were.

Red ignores that and says that it's actually Orange's fault because it was his idea to use the beacons to glitch out of the parkour box.

And Orange snaps.

This is the part during my first watch-through where I was freaking out .

The two best fighters of the CG, in a wonderfully animated fight sequence, BUT THERE'S EMOTIONAL STAKES, and the sun has set.

Do you understand the turmoil I was experiencing.

Anyway this scene is amazing. Red and Orange are only focused on one thing; fighting each other.

It's a little funny sometimes, like when Orange one-shots a creeper, but then you see Orange literally throw more zombies/husks in Red's direction to overwhelm him and you remember that this might have ended in one of them killing the other if they hadn't fallen into the caves.

Because at this point Red has started to try to run away. It's Orange who seems to snap out of it when they stop fighting in the caves.

Maybe the youngest hollow-head has a taste for violence after all.

Anyway, they get a moment of reconciliation/peace before they are approached by alexcrafter28, and then they get their way back home. From here on, they're a team again. However I wish we could hear them speak because I would LOVE to hear the conversations during and after the fight.

they make me emotional your honor

New actual short just dropped!

NOOOOO POOR RED

"what have I done?????"

TSC

They really need a hug right now, and I want to give them it

Deleted software! Au chapter 1 part 1: time to get outta here!

eeeeee first part of deleted software au!!

victim watching as alan gets a vpn and teleports haldway across the globe

WOO it has been kinda a long since the last time I did one of these

School is RUINING my ideal schedule, and I've been focusing more on Murder Drones, animating, and falling back into the Omori brainrot.

But, without further ado, AvA/M shower thoughts.

I wanted to be one of the first people to post about this, being that this reveals a LOT.

In the actual short that came out today, Reuben got married and had a kid. This short as a whole made me smile, being that Purple was seen with the color group for the first time since AvM 30, and was just silly as a whole. But, I also remembered something from a previous short.

Bob is Always There is a short from a few months ago that theorists such as myself overanalyzed when it came out. It was pretty mysterious, being we didn't really know what had happened off screen and what would happen in the future. Well, does this picture remind you of anything?

That's right, I'm here to say that we can confirm when this short takes place, and that it's not just some fluff.

It's all apart of something bigger.

Alan Becker connected 2 shorts, but made it so it wasn't obvious. Everything after this point in Bob is Always There we can assume will happen at some point in either the main animations or the actual shorts. I'm not going to cover all of it, but I'm really excited to see Purple reappear in the color gang's website.

Poly sticks again! Mostly just tsc x all + purp tho LOL

SEASON 3??????

Guys guys you have to see this ‼️‼️

MY CG HUMAN DESIGNS YEAAA!!!

This might won't blow up as much but Im just happy how they turned out (and that I finally finished it qjfbeh). It might be a while before I could design the rest of the hollowheads + King. These were so complicated that I almost gave up halfway wndbdhf
