The Blob Key

For today’s episode!!!

Buddy is not 'giving up' on immortality because he never desired it in the first place. Violet wanted him to live forever, and it was all based on her misconceptions having never been human herself. Buddy was in fact, critical of human immortality.

Buddy wants to be human, and it's not a sacrifice on his part. It is a sacrifice for the rest of the keys, who grant a wish which makes them eventually lose a sibling they've come to love, and lose their wish granting power, as it breaks the circle.

Chase has been the most beautiful experience of Buddy's life, and yes, he amplifies his desire for humanity manifold. But Buddy doesn't need to turn human to gain Chase's approval. Chase would love him anyway (have you met Chase? Of course he would)

Buddy wants to be human, and it's not an act of service towards Chase.

Buddy wants to be human. Because he was a human, and he misses it. Misses it as tenderly as the feel of rain on skin, misses it as magnamiously as the pump of a heartbeat. When asked for his real name, he says his human name.

Human eyes and Key eyes look different. Human eyes are drawn half black-half eye coloured, while keys have gemstones for eyes with only a small black dot for a pupil.

When we see Buddy's past as a human, we see his human eyes too, which are different from his current eyes

I need everyone to remember that "A murder, unfortunately" was the first time Chase knowingly saw keys in their human form. Yes, Buddy had different eyes from others, but for Chase to have assumed that it is because he's a key would be far too big of a stretch before now.

Even among keys, the way the eyes look is different because they're all cut of of different stones. Sil and others have gemstones which are cut into reflective facets, which amplifies the shiny nature of the stone and slightly obscures the pupil in the centre. On the other hand, Buddy and Vi's eyestones are more of a polished surface, thus their pupils are more visible giving them a more human look.

It was not the above four keys' eyes, but Violet's which helped Chase realize it. And no, it's not because Buddy and Violet have the same eye colour, they don't. Violet's eyes are multicoloured, similar to the colour of her underskirt. Buddy's eyes are blue. (Also, having the same eye colour does not make people related 😭😭)

It's because Chase knew by then that keys had stone eyes in human forms. And seeing Violet's eyes made him realize that not all stones look sparkly like Silver's. He noticed the same non-human gemstone quality of both their eyes, and thus reached the conclusion that Buddy is a key.
