king of the bobolings

This conversation is interesting cause Vrissy is insanely in the know. Like, not just in the know about The Game (which makes sense considering. her parents and all) but also the way Ly'lac already "knew" her and whatnot. We learn that AA already knew all of this shit was happening too, roughly, more or less, whatever. Good for her. So Ly'lac killed the Narwhal cause he asked to die. Seems to be something she does often, though once again her death spells aren't working quite right. Vrissy learns about Nymph culture and it's pretty interesting. She does seem actually pretty interested in Ly'lac and this whole world. The Uninymph was taken captive and forced to stay alive because if he died, the world would end. And so, now that the Game has begun, the world will end, so Ly'lac killed him. Cool. There's the faintest hint of a love triangle a-brewin'. Vrissy seems to be getting it for TC, and TC has it for Ly'lac, and Ly'lac has it for Vriska...good lord. I also find it funny Ly'lac says calling TC "bobo" is *their* thing, when...Swiss also calls him Bobo. Seems TC doesn't share that sentiment? Vrissy freaks out and starts going into damage control mode to try and make a new player entry order since TC's out like a light. Which is concerning, that she says he doesn't wake up...they're totally killing my son. It's fun to see Vrissy actually like...do...shit?? And be an active participant?? Anyways there's the upd8 I'd talk more about this if I wasn't at home visiting family!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We learn that Vrissy hit up TC after TC sent his messages to Ly'lac allllll the way back at the start of Act 2. Which is interesting. The way TC talks about his chats with Vrissy imply that the common theory of "the omegas are in TC's huge ass house" isn't actually the case...also them parroting the "Yeah I knew that"...Bowlac is actually a gem i think this is crazy. Here's a huge ass drop revealed in an insanely casual manner. TC's guardian is...indeed, The Exemplar. What The Hell. Ly'lac also hints about her chat with the Narwhal...apparently, that wasn't their first time meeting each other...also, in the panel, Ly'lac seems to be riding on the Narwhal's horn. Huh. TC implies he's supposed to be playing Server player and then...passes out. This is highly concerning as Act 2 has constantly been having satyrs across the planet just randomly falling asleep...I fear for my sweet TC's life. And then it's awesome world again because TC learned from Dirk and has his own autoresponder...that's...actually way less smart than Hal was. Cause there likely isn't a whole ass clone in it. BOBOT (love that name oh my god) confirms that yes, TC fell asleep, and that some drone units are all on standby...? Interestingly enough it comes with a disclaimer outright stating it doesn't have a soul in it and that what it says shouldn't be taken as "conversation". Interesting difference between TC and Dirk... Anyways that's the upd8. Considering the music track drop that we didn't get to hear odds are the big Strife Flash for 8/01 (yes i still think that's happening) will use that as the music which is fun. I hope TC doesn't die. If TC dies I'll die.

So let's lay out what I've gotten on Swiss from my previous analysis posts. 1. Swiss heavily ties his personal worth to his academic standings (today's Upd8 just has him outright admit this is the case) 2. Swiss thinks he is fundamentally a bad person, which is why he freaks out so bad about getting punished at all I don't remember the rest if there were any. Whatever. However, this upd8 lends further evidence towards Swiss sort of...being at odds with Satyrical society, funnily enough. We had little bits of this here and there, the way he treats his fellow classmates and him thinking bombing nymph spawning grounds "too extreme". But here we have him directly agonizing against the rules of this society he claims to love so much, particularly on Satanimals. Which like, I agree with him, that thing has to die, but it's...the way he's all "Oh I'd love to fucking kill this thing but I legally can't but the world would be so much better if they didn't exist even if the Exemplar likes them so much" is so fascinating. And don't think I missed the symbolism in this thing that, we could argue, represents what he dislikes about satyr society literally smashing through his dorm which he curated and designed to reflect what he likes most about satyr society. So his dorm is wrecked, he is going to totally kill that Satanimal cause we see the blood later, and like...it's literally already starting to come crashing down for Swiss. I've always predicted that Swiss would probably collapse in on himself once the game started, as the society he devoted himself to and had such big plans for will be pelted into ash by meteors, but the collapse may be coming a lot sooner than we all think. He'll kill it, and then REALLY freak the fuck out cause he just broke the law or whatever, and then he's going to have to play and it's...it's just going to be really really bad for Swiss. The fun Swiss days are over, I think. Unless you find Swiss being tortured like this fun which I imagine is like, 90% of people? I do also wanna comment on what I think is a big Swiss theme, which is Control. Having it and losing it. He tries to exercise as much control over anything he can. His friends, his classmates, his bees. And this upd8 is just kinda blowing all of that up. Swiss even loses control over himself upon seeing his poor dead bees. I think there's something classpect-y in here, but I'll leave it to more educated scholars on those matters. I'm trying to get out of the classpecting sauce but...I can't deny that it keeps trying to pull me back in and it's very tempting. Anyways. That's it. Let's hope next analysis will be TC. Or even AA...or CT...hell, I'll take Harry if I have to. I'm so tired. Bye bye.

And the little gif was cute too. I have more to say on Swiss, taking this new evidence in with my previous analysis only strengthens all of it I feel, but I'm like, tired, and I want to take a nap, so I might go do that now. Or you'll see a Swiss analysis in like, 15 minutes or so...? Whatever. Pretty funny upd8. No TC reveal. It completely invalidated my Upd8 theory post from this morning so I'll never make something like that ever again.
