I like to call this set "Clown and Friends". On account of it just being about Clown. And friends. Rather than any particular server. Not making them separate posts 'cause I'm lazy. Anyway

"so this is dark souls music. i played this while minute was confronting me and leo about the betrayal. this is the song that plays when you fight the final boss of dark souls 1. gwyn, lord of cinder. and it's sad. it's sad because you fight this husk of a being that used to be a god, but now is reduced to nothing but a mindless and weakened opponent for you to fight"

"i did go this hard on the symbolism. because here let me play you the song that i did for the fight where we kill minute. this is 2 games later, dark souls 3."

"this is epic, right? we're fighting pentar, and we're fighting jumper, and we're fighting minute, we're fighting everybody on the team. they're in their element. we're like barely scraping by. we're trying our best in this fight."

"and this, this is where the fight turns around, and minute just starts to run, slowness..nothing he can do. and it just plays this, the very same theme that played when he got betrayed, and it's just sadness.."

"and what helps is that in the scene itself, you can feel the desperation. he can't get away. he's got slowness, he's got weakness, he's got everything holding him back from being able to make any sort of plan. so minute died to the same theme that he got betrayed to in my video."

"'your character apologized to minute in season 6, what was your mindset there too?' i...i think i missed it. the montage i made of minute and i just messing around and having fun as friends.. you gotta keep in mind that's us out of content. that's us not expecting to get any content out of it, it's just joking around as friends, and just having a good time grinding together. and i betrayed him because i liked mapicc's plan. i liked the way the season finale was going in season 5."

"but there was something lost there, there was something i didn't realize that would be lost there. and i noticed this in season 6 is that minute was like touching me with a 6 foot pole, right. that was it for him, that completely ruined, soured the relationship that we had. and i didn't care because i didn't have a team for most of season 6. i didn't think i needed one. but i needed that season without a team to realize that i need a team to have a good season."

"i was feeling regretful because i had genuinely fun times with minute. and leo for that matter obviously, but leo was just..doing his own thing."

me: yeah whatever i don’t feel shit

me 5 minutes later: the only time minute has ever truly understood his teammates was when they betrayed him, and that was the lesson that made him understand for the final time what kind of cutthroat server lifesteal really is and that attempting to save it is a sisyphean task, but that realisation came too late and there is nothing that can fix the chasm the other PMC’s betrayal wrought in their trust and relationship and they can never go back to a time before that betrayal

Pili: Well, you've always been evil, let's be honest.
