I said it once and now I can't stop thinking about everyone in Limited Life just being kids on a playground

They all have different curfews, and their clock runs out when they need to go home

Scott found a puddle and is making a very pretty mud-castle

Pearl and BigB are playing spies, sneaking up on everyone and watching them through the bushes. Pearl brought her cat from home, and BigB keeps finding and carrying around frogs

The TIES are trying to make a shelter for some bugs they found (probably slugs or caterpillars or smth). They have lost track of every bug they found (except for one, which Joel stomped on), and are constantly searching for more

Entertainment mountain is a giant boulder that the Clockers are playing house on. Cleo was declared Mom because she is the tallest out of the entertainers, and because she keeps yelling at Scar to put his shirt back on

Scar has a bunch of erasers and bracelets and stuff from the school store that he keeps trying to trade with everyone

The Bad Boys claimed the playground as their territory. They all have kiddie sunglasses. Joel's are too big for him and slip down his nose.

Cleo declares a game of The Floor is Lava every time the Bad Boys annoy her.

Boogeyman curse is a game of tag

The Bad Boys made Bad Boys Bread Bridge out of everyone's lunchboxes. They hopped on the lunchboxes during The Floor is Lava so Joel could tag one of the Clockers

Skizz and Bdubs' fight was an actual fistfight. Skizz tapped Bdubs once and was declared winner

Everyone was so nice this season

When Skizz was boogey'd twice, people rallied around him to protect him. People stuck to their day one allies with no betrayals (minus one exception). The very first peaceful full-server event happened with Skizz and Bdubs' fight. People gave up their time so their allies could live just a little longer. There wasn't any pretending over alliances, when people turned against each other, they announced it loudly and proudly. There weren't that many kill steals, and most of the ones that happened were done on accident. Almost all of the boogeymen apologized to their victims. Skizz complimented everyone, which inspired Scott, BigB, and Pearl's compliment trio in the last episode.

And then there was Martyn, who purposefully stole other people's kills whenever he got the chance. Martyn, who wandered off from his teammate every single episode. Martyn, who rigged his own birthday party in hopes of getting a kill. Martyn, who trapped the Clockers' base while allied with them, Martyn, who turned against his day one ally in order to win. He certainly wasn't the only ruthless player, but he behaved that way most often.

The rule-breaker wins in the game of the honest. The green killer wins in the game of reds. The loyal wins in the game of traitors. The lonely wins in the game of lovers. The cutthroat wins in the game of the civil.

Working on a thing and realized that in their first scenes in the two seasons, Ron and Terry are making their step-kids food. Ron (unsuccessfully) tries to make Terry a bowl of oatmeal, and Terry's packed a lunch for Scary to take to detention.

The Stampler/Marlowes making food to show their love hits especially hard when you remember how Willy left Ron at an unreasonably young age to cook for himself

Every time I hear or read the phrase "No you don't" I immediately hear the voice of Scary Marlowe from the episode where she ran a dnd campaign and stopped anyone from doing anything

Just finished Cleo's episode and I am going absolutely feral!!! She was the last green, I'm so proud of her! Everything with fighting off/running from/hiding from the infected was so tense, my heart was pounding, I was on the edge of my seat.

And the relationship dynamics this episode! Teaming up with the Heart Foundation, putting aside all the differences they've had. She teamed with BigB!!! We got widows alliance! Again! After they insisted it couldn't happen again! "I don't think Etho's going to hurt me, but I don't think he's going to protect me either." And, hello, "Honestly, I kind of want [the person who kills me] to be Martyn" excuse me?!?!?!

I feel insane. I need to lie down. I need to run a mile to burn off energy. I have everyone else's povs to watch. I need to sleep for a thousand years

Scott and Cleo in session one: No, we can't team up again, we become too OP and it's not fair to everyone else

Scott and Cleo in session seven, watching an army of zombies grow with the explicit purpose of hunting them down: Maybe being a little unfair is justified

I did this last time, so why not again?

My predictions and hopes for the new life series:

The winner is the person who "breaks/goes against" the rules

Someone is killed by an explosion meant for someone else

Bdubs forms a strong relationship that ends in tragedy

Grian shrieks like an unholy demon

Ren delivers an overly-dramatic monologue

Etho being "scared" of Cleo

5am Pearl

ZombieCleo sets something on fire

Scar abs

Along the lines of "Hermie Unworthy is Pamona the Panther", I think it'd be really funny if Hermie has gone to every single school, challenged himself acting-wise until there were no more hills to conquer at that school, and then moved on to the next one. He pulls out his wallet and it unfurls to reveal no fewer than 10 different student id cards.

Nothing could ever prove that Taylor is Glenn's grandkid more than Taylor showing up sans clothes in the dream-world for the sole purpose of threatening Willy Stampler. They are literally related

It makes me so gleefully happy that Taylor made Willy so confused and uncomfortable by just... caring about his mom and wanting her to be happy

Taylor knows three (3) things and they are: anime, do the coolest protagonist shit, and love his mom

After this episode I have so many thoughts and feelings about the Oak-(Swallows)-Garcia men/boys that I absolutely need to write down:

Henry saw his father's example of how to treat people, and decided he wanted to be nothing like it, so he became kind and compassionate and deeply, deeply caring. And he tried to pass this onto his sons because he wanted the hurt that he went through as a child to end with him.

But Henry didn't have any good examples of how to be a parent. His father was dismissive and cruel, and his mother apathetic and afraid. He had no one to show him how to teach and guide his sons, and he was afraid of over-managing their lives the way his father had, so he erred on the side of giving them ample space to figure things out on their own and supporting them as best he can.

So the twins are told from birth that they are loved unconditionally, that no matter what they will be forgiven. They are told this so much it practically becomes white noise to them. Even if they burn down their classroom, or destroy the tree in the front yard, or start a cult in a city in another realm, their dad might get mad for a bit, but he won't really do anything about it, and it'll all be okay, he'll laugh it off and tell them how much he loves them. They're having fun, it's not like they've done anything that serious!

Until suddenly, they have done something very serious. They have done something so horrible that it very nearly ended the world entirely. What did they expect would happen afterward, do you think? I imagine that they thought -that Lark at the very least thought- that Henry would be furious with them. If there was anything for Henry to be really mad at them about, to never forgive them for, it has to be this, right?

But... he's not. Henry doesn't blame them, and when they blame themselves he says that he forgives them? This doesn't make sense to them, and we can know that this doesn't make sense to them, because Lark's spent the past few weeks hating Henry because of Walter's injury, something Henry was only indirectly involved in. We don't even know if Lark ever forgave Henry, so what reason would he have to assume his father would ever forgive him for doing something infinitely worse?

The twins are scared, because they think they should be hated, and they don't understand the unconditional love and forgiveness that their father is offering them. So Lark does what many scared and confused people do: he lashes out at what he doesn't understand. Every time Henry tells him he's not to blame for what happened, or that he loves him, or that he forgives him, Lark rejects it.

Sparrow takes a different approach. He's already been told that he needs to be a "love wolf", but he's only really taken in that lesson in a "letter of the law" kind of way. So he tries to be nice. He says the nice things, marries the nice woman, and he says the "right" things when he gets angry to try and absolve himself of all blame. He's trying to emulate his father's approach to life, but he doesn't actually understand it, so his actions are hollow, and quite often ingenuine. And he blames himself for the Doodler's release just as much as Lark does, so he also feels that he's fundamentally unlovable. He marries a woman who cheats on him because why should it matter that she maybe doesn't love him when no one ever will?

If you believe yourself to be unlovable because of something you've done, you don't believe in unconditional love, so it is impossible for you to give unconditional love.

This is the environment Normal is raised in, with a mother incapable of sharing her own opinions out of a dedication to centrism, and two father figures who believe themselves to be fundamentally unlovable and are therefore incapable of extending unconditional love to anyone else. There are conditions that he needs to meet in order to be loved by his dad, and he doesn't meet them. He probably hasn't for awhile, but he only really realized it recently when Sparrow just told him outright.

And the incredible thing about Normal? This doesn't break him. He holds onto his identity even though he's hurt and upset that his father isn't proud of him. Normal saw his father's example of how to treat people and decided he wanted to be nothing like it, so he apologizes for yelling at Taylor, and he stands up for himself, and he still loves his family even though they've hurt him. Just like his grandfather did, Normal was raised in an environment that tried to stifle him and separate him from other people, and instead chose to love himself and others as much as he possibly can.

And this difference between the generations is illustrated so well through Lark/Normal looking into the Doodler's mind:

Lark sees inside the Doodler's mind, sees that it wants to be loved, sees that it's hurt people without meaning to, fucking sees himself in it, and decides that it deserves to die.

Normal sees inside the Doodler's mind, sees that it wants to be loved, sees how things always go wrong when it tries to reach out for that love, sees himself in the Doodler, and he decides that the Doodler needs help.

(And you just know that if Henry had been the one to see inside its head instead of Lark, he would've done the exact same thing. Normal is such a good character to carry on Henry's legacy, it makes me want to fucking cry.)
