Hi. Hello. I dont know how to start this. Lets just jump right into it.

To recap; Months ago Coiny was stuck for 3 months under the lava with Pin's slowly deteriorating corpse which he rebuilt over and over and over again because he thought they would be stuck in there. He was freed and tried to kill Book with a drill because for all he knows Book fucking killed his wife. Lets get into this

hello boy. anyway

The entire scene where Coiny finds out he's been eliminated. makes me. sad.

Possibly taking out anger on FSB. Or maybe thats just the Firey rivalry speaking. Maybe both

High emotional reaction to being told he's eliminated. Yes, I know, he made it really far, he does get upset when eliminated. But not to the point where he throws himself to the ground and punches the floor.

First time seeing him cry btw. Albeit in a very cartoonish way but still!

THE FRAME ABOVE btw. Last time we saw him do this and the falling to his knees bit was in BFDIA 19 when he found out he missed the Cake at Stake ceremony.

There is a 50% chance this was all him playing up his emotions towards getting eliminated, but to me this is so much more genuine compared to him faking it all in BFDIA 19 & 20.

Also the way we see him literally being dragged away by Pin soon after means he straight up just collapsed afterwards. He's not in the on his knees pose anymore he's just. prone. on the ground. like

HE'S NOT OKAY!!!!!!

THIS GUY AND WOAH BUNCH DUDE. This exact reason is why I want Needle to win. If she wins it would make so much more sense for him to be so obsessed with WOAH Bunch. He keeps this mindset no matter what happens, because to him this is also a win for him. His best season.

This scene. this entire fucking scene. WATCH HIM.

The distress.

"There's too many people.." Said while glancing around and looking frightened, and in the background while Pin is talking, his face goes blank. Not seconds later--

"GRRR! Coiny, bazooka her!!"

He barely glances over and answers "What?" like he DIDN'T HEAR HER. He zones out/disassociates IMMEDAITELY AFTER expressing fear and discomfort.

He has never, EVER reacted like this in a large crowd or in a confined space. Not until after the lava. AND THIS CONTINUES.

It zooms out from Pin and Pencil and he's hitting the pose again

The ceiling starts decending and-- DID YOU SEE HOW HARD HE JUMPED??? THAT SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF HIM MORE THAN IT DID ANYBODY ELSE. The moment he thinks of anything after Yellow Face catches everyone's attention, that is when he starts moving again. I know Coiny has always been easily distracted but NOT TO THIS DEGREE. SOMETHING IS HAPPENING IN THAT LITTLE HEAD OF HIS. And then he delivers another speech which. This friggin theater kid can he stop. AND THEN.

First of all, girl he does not understand your rhymes. Why has she been rhyming so much lately. It's cute. Anyways.

The amount of times he's said "Huh?" or "What? in this episode alone, and in the past few episodes alone for that matter is. It's telling thats for sure.

HE GETS SO SCARED OF HER YELLING AT HIM LIKE THAT. AND WINCES. Like ok yeah. normal reaction to being shouted at. But he didn't do this earlier, nor did he do it the several other instances of her yelling at him. Not even earlier when he blew a raspberry at her and she literally threatened him WHY DO I KEEP MAKING TYPOS anyways.

im just. INM TWEAKING i literally can't stop thinking about him this episode UUUGHHH...

TL;DR: Coiny 100% is claustrophobic thanks to his time spent for 3 months in the lava and 2 months in that cash register, and He Is Not Okay, likely still reeling after the whole... Lava thing. He's been spacy and dissociative much more lately. And it isn't just this episode too! In BFDIA 20 if you watch him he isn't paying attention most of the time.
