ooc
i love you so fucking much holy shit /p you get it. you fucking get it. dsprite feeling like he was responsible at least in part for all of his friends dying, and literally sacrificing himself, his identity and his *humanity* to save them, only for them to just. overlook him in favour of the 'real' him. the one that didnt fuck everything up for them. does he feel like he deserves it? does he think that its some form of karma for the way he let them all down and let them die (or in roses - his *sisters* case - literally killing them?) fuck, would he even *tell* them what happened in his old timeline? or would he just make vague allusions and stupid jokes because maybe if he doesnt tell them, he can have a second chance with them (a second chance that he doesnt really deserve after lying to them). maybe he can eventually win them back. sure, hes never going to be the 'real dave' again, not while the other dave is around, but maybe he can be more than just the spare dead bird dave that should have stayed dead
or maybe he shouldnt even try and should just save himself the pain of when it inevitably fails. they deserve better than just the weird bargain bin dave, right?
idk ill never stop thinking about this orange motherfucker and im glad i managed to infect someone else with the Davesprite Thoughts

the flint coming out/silvers worst possible reaction convo is one of the few times we actually see flint like. uncomfortable? or nervous i guess? when silver says he doesn't think the pattern of flint's closest person/partner dying will apply to him because of recent events, flint's response ("it is .. natural for men new to power to assume that it has no limits. trust me - it does.") seems strange. he doesn't argue against seeking out his own tragedies as he did before, or deny the pattern, or tell silver to stop blaming him for the deaths of his partners. he tells silver he isn't as powerful as he might feel at that moment. he's defensive, thrown off-balance by the vulnerability of sharing his most guarded heart and secret, only for silver to throw it back in his face. this conversation is significant for a number of reasons, but one of which is that it highlights flint's devotion to silver (he tells silver he is Entitled to the truth) and silver's reticence to genuine connection with flint. he tells flint he's sorry, but then ruthlessly points out a pattern he sees as a potential danger to him. silver is STILL acting in his own self interest here, almost defensively, whereas flint has given himself entirely over to silver. what happens makes me think of this post - flint has such personal authenticity, he KNOWS what he stands for, he has cast his lot, his narrative is fixed, that he is able to give his truth to silver. whereas silver is still playing at both sides. his identity has coagulated into silver, but he's not Long John Silver yet. he doubts this war, he doubts flint and madi's motivations. why expose a weakness when there's no need? all he sees of flint's confession is a potential threat to him. and then there's flint's response in the face of silver coolly explaining why he will survive flint's self-inflicted tragedy, a weak attempt at silver's feelings of strength, a defensive response to what flint perceives to be an attack from silver.. which silver IMMEDIATELY overturns with his stunt with dobbs, using the men as pawns in his dance with flint, proving to flint that silver is strong, that silver will survive flint. that silver will hurt flint. and all flint has to offer is an uncertain but (to me) very genuine attempt at comfort in the face of silver's ironclad defense of his own strength. that even if they agree silver has such powerful influence over the men, flint can still stand with him, against him if they have to.

something that always so deeply strikes me is the fact that fob opens from under the cork tree openly exposing the fact that the narrator of the songs (pete, some unnamed person, however you interpret it) is unreliable from the outset- "we're only liars". Everything stated, then, can be interpreted as a lie, because it's outright said that the one speaking to you is a liar. it could be interpreted that the thoughts and feelings and advice from then on are unreliable- they're only liars, after all, but they're the best. they're only good for the latest trends, only good for the things that seem hip and relatable. to make these claims on an album that is then truly so vulnerable and revealing, so emotionally exploitive is the thing that is mainly striking. in that way, the narrator really Is a liar, and unreliable, for stating that they're a liar in the first place was a lie in itself. the album is filled with heart aching honesty, honesty that can then be questioned with the claim of lies, but honesty that is real and deep and wholly exposed regardless of what the narrator wants us to believe
