I really love bfdia because nothing justifies me wasting my time making the following comparison: Taylor Swift's "Mirrorball" and the characters Pencil, Book, Pin, Needle, and Leafy, (this song was made for them) and I'm going to show you paragraph by paragraph of the song and why each verse relates to these girls!
I'll show you every version of yourself tonight
I'll get you out on the floor
And when I break it's in a million pieces
When no one is around, my dear
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
This is sooo Pencil, like, she IS the type of charather that hates to be alone, but she would never say that, with freesmart, or the exitors, (or any OTHER group) she's a Fun leader, someone who got everything under Control, the "mature" one, the star in the middle, the one that gets more attention even if It is a bad form of It, but now she is alone in tpot, and she is shattered, she needs and craves for help but refuses to say It, she refuses to Tell the others she had wronged them, she is afraid of taking responsibility for what she had done wrong, but most of all she is afraid of actually looking at herself, she is afraid of the darkness that is inside of her
She "shines" to the others, but shatterers when she's alone
I know they said the end is near
The end of freesmart, get It? But there is someone Else who i want to dedicate this verse too...
Needle! bcs bfdia is ending, i imagine that she is very anxious about it
But I'm still on my tallest tiptoes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
I can change everything about me to fit in
still on Needle! I think this one can be hers and also Pins, but ill get to her later...
Needle, she always wanted to belong to a group, or at least had no choice but to be in one.
in BFDIA she is in a interesting Arc, like the others she wants to Win, but unlike TB and Book who wants to do It for someone else or a group, she wants to do It for herself. And thats a very interesting turn for her charather, given the fact that she has a trace of being Very loyal to her friends and constantly does her best so her team could win, but a great part of why she sacrifices so much is that she wants to belong, to feel included.
Well, she is not playing solely for that purpose anymore, i believe that her conversation with pencil setled It down for her, paraphasing It "you dont need to do all alone, the groups are a way so we can make real connections" ( and It proves to me that pencil is not mean Just have a hard time showing her emotions to ppl that she cares abt)
A better way to conclude this thinking of Pencil for Needle, could be "you dont need to be in a group to have friends, or to continiously make sacrifices to show them that you care" but that IS smth both needs to learm
I can change everything about me to fit in
You are not like the regulars
Drunk as they watch my shattered edges glisten
When no one is around, my dear
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
PIN, and i had to divide bcs... That's How my mind Works
In BFDI she's bossy, have Little to no patience at all, is hot headed, and literaly have no one who she would call them friends, she is alone most of the time
In BFDIA she makes the friendship that changes her, she actually got to meet coiny better, and make a real connections with him, for her, he is not like the others, he's different, mostly because he actually cares about her, and have a Lot of simililaties with her personally, they have so much in common, he Iis not like the others, who exclude her, calls her by names and direspects her when she calls for their attention
I can change everything about me to fit in
This frase is out of order because that is PIN in TPOT, she Just so different from who she was before,( and It IS not out of charather) because we know, by the way she talks and acts that she is not completely well, she is trying to be kind, trying to be great, to be a good friend, she is working to be better, and to fit in, in every group she's in, she takes Care to not be too bosy or too hot headed, she's now Very anxious because she's taking more caution of her actions and reactions.
I know they said the end is near
But I'm still on my tallest tiptoes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
And they called off the circus
When they sent home the horses
I'm still on that tightrope
I'm still trying everything to get you laughing at me
LEAFY, she is a Very unique charather, in Season one she's the only one who cares about not killing others and taking Care of the others, she's someone who sacrifices too much and as a reward expects too much, thats why when Firey let her down she does not think twice, she steals dream island, and thats what made everyone hate her, they Chase her down, make sure nobody recovers her, exclude her from society in general, only in BFB she comes back to talk with them again, but firey is the only one who havent gotten away from the past, he hadnt moved on, and neither did she, they are both on the circus, Leafy is still trying to make firey look at her, and he is still waiting for the show to end.
I'm still a believer but I don't know why
I've never been a natural
Alll i do is try, try, try...
I'm still on that trapeze
I'm still trying everything
To keep you looking at me
Book is also someone who have morals, she tries to play a Fair game and does her best to be as right as possible, she does not Care about winning, she cares about playing a good game right and Fair, and most of ALL, she wants to make her friends proud of her, and like Needle, she wants and believes that she can be part of their group, she wants to be more than Just an alternate, she wants that, even more than winning, and i believe, more than playing right, she wants their friendship, but as we know, she does not get that, ir at least, she was never told she already had that, and thats why she goes away from them in BFB.
But in BFDIA she is still trying to make Pencil, and the freesmartes to look at her.
I Also could dedicate this to Ice cube given the fact that since Season one she always wanted to be friends with the girls, but they always left her behind.
I'll show you every version of yourself
ALL of them, because charathers are at its core mirrors of the watchers and the creators, they inspire us as much as they taught us a Lesson about ourselves.
What do you guys think about it?
