Together till the very end

Secret life - post session 6 ( Wither vs Warden)

After the gruelling hard task, Grian feels insecure about his place in the team with Cleo and Etho. As the yellow, he is a liability, especially knowing his track record. Cleo and Etho work together wonderfully, is there even a need keeping him around ?

grian, etho, and cleo are just....

sometimes love is three damaged people knee deep in lifetimes worth of loss and grief, painting their walls green together. maybe love is those three people thinking over a dinner table, "you wouldn't die for me, and there's no greater solace than that."

love, actually, goes like this. let me look at all the damage you've done, both now and before, and let me raise you this: every wound you have inflicted, i too have exacted. all the havoc you have wreaked sits in a mirror with all the desolation i will soon impose. because if all six of our hands are stained bone-deep with blood, and there are no others to compare, doesn't that make them just hands?

Love the little after death convo at the end of Cleo's finale episode. Talking with Grian about how they died. Saying that they knew they weren't going to win but still went out swinging. Saying she was proud of Grian for staying behind to at least try to either kill Gem, Scott, or Impulse or hurt them enough that Gem wouldn't win. Him actually taking out so many of their hearts. All of the Roomies holding onto their loyalty till the very end. Listening to Etho saying he wanted to die in his base, his home, from Scar's POV. Scar only managing to catch up when Etho was in his base.

i love the roomies because like. grian, a man known for jumping ship, basically invited himself into cleo and etho's relationship - and they accepted it. not in a "oh let's humour him when really we all know we don't trust each other" way, they genuinely included him in everything, cared for him, and all three of them stayed loyal to each other till the end. against all odds, despite the reputation each of them had made for themselves in previous games, they made something genuine between the three of them - something that withstood the distrust and bloodlust. something that said, "you're a part of us now" in the most human way possible.

(They hear Etho losing his last life)

Grian: Etho, my boy!

Cleo: Etho, you're my b-! (chokes up)

Cleo, turning to prepare arrows: Right. So they have chosen death.

(They didn't hear Etho as he ran from Scar, trying to get to safety. "I'm going home, everybody. I'm dying in my home.")

this session is making me so so sick. grian telling etho and cleo, "if we turn red today, i'm sticking by you. that's the deal. it's not over 'til it's over."

and this is grian, all-bets-off grian, who historically immediately loses his mind the moment the haze of being red clouds his vision. think of double life: he's red, and he sees red, and his feet are taking him to bigb's on a path he's traveled a thousand times before. he spends ages ready to drop that stalactite, and only after the blood is on his hands does he stop and realize what he's done. this is grian, known to all as someone with a fickle heart who will do what it takes to win, someone who just can't help himself. he slaughters his allies time and time again.

but here's the thing: never has he sworn himself to someone as vocally, as desperately as he has cleo and etho. or, he has. a long time ago, standing in desert sand, where not even in the fire of his final life could he willingly turn his fists to scar. no other team has wormed its way into his heart since scar. but finally, here and now, with these two people, he's given himself up again. he's healing. he loves these people so much and they've just worked his way into his chest and it wasn't even on purpose, but they're there now. and he's accepting it.

nothing terrifies him more than the thought of being the last one left with the people he loves. the desert and scar have taught him that loving anyone too deeply is nothing but a death wish. but in one sentence, he's sworn to etho and cleo that he's going to brave that again for them, if it comes down to it.

this isn't the desert, and he's tired of running from it.

just realized that the roomies and the heart foundation surviving the zombie apocalypse for so long most likely led to their early demise, because when the real ending came, the mounders and gem and the Scotts then automatically teamed up.

You know the phrase ‘those who live together, die together’ or something like that?

Tell me that isn’t Cleo, Etho and Grian. All in the same session, in the same 5-10 minutes they died and went to red. They really said “if you’re dying, we’re going down with you‼️‼️🏃🏃🏃‍♀️”

Okay, its been a couple months since my last Roomies post which means I need to ramble more (mainly because I consume the found family trope like its oxygen I need to survive), so here we go again!!!

The Roomies (Grian, Etho, and Cleo in Secret Life) are genuinely my favorite group out of all of the life series. They are the very definition of found family. They made the trope, actually. And what's worse is that they were doomed from the beginning.

Grian, known for abandoning people for the hell of it anytime it's convenient. The last time he was really loyal to someone was in Last Life with Scar, and after how that ended, I like to think that he was afraid to make any connections like that again. He messes with people for the sake of it. He is the embodiment of chaos itself.

Cleo, known for her violent and merciless nature. Throughout the series, she's constantly making a long list of people to kill when she gets the chance. It's not often she displays openness with people, especially knowing how the life series always ends. The last time she did, her family was splitting by the seams and there was nothing she could do to stop it. She refuses to not be in power again like that.

Etho, extremely serious and yet not at all. He'll lie when he needs to, he'll mess with whoever he wants, whenever he wants. He does his tasks, bumps into everyone and no one on the way. Known for being loyal, but loyal to who? All of the other seasons are done, he has no solid allies, besides BDubs.

And yet after the divorce arc, Cleo and Etho reunite, Etho allowing Cleo to stay when she was trying to escape Tango and the others. It's more for connivence at first, maybe helping out with a task here or there. They made a home and continue on.

Then Grian asks for a place to stay- just as Cleo had all those episodes ago- and they say yes. They know that there's a high likelihood of him killing them when the time comes to it. They look between each other, remembering all of their pasts and all of the blood shed, and they realize that they're just the same as the man standing at their door asking for shelter. Not a home, just a shelter. That's all this is for the three of them, it's a roommates-for-connivence situation.

But over time, they all get... closer. Maybe it's after the zombie apocalypse, where Grian's first thought after realizing is, "I need to warn Cleo and Etho" or where Etho purposefully wards the zombies away from his friends. Maybe it's after the traps set specifically to kill them. Maybe it's after Grian begs Etho and Cleo to do the "zombie dance," where Cleo tries her best despite not even knowing it existed.

There was never a specific moment where they decided they were no longer roommates and that they were family. It's rarely acknowledged until Grian is speaking with the two of them where he swears to never hurt them, even after all of them turn Red. Etho and Cleo, in return, agree.

When the end eventually comes, like they all knew it would, they stick together. They climb high up, high enough where they should be able to live in peace together for the rest of eternity. But they're found, just like the game is meant to go, and everyone knows there's going to be people who don't come down. Etho is one of the first.

There's no mistaking the cries that are shouted when Etho falls. Grian and Cleo watch intently, only wanting Etho to run faster. They don't hear his final words, they don't hear him say "I'm going home, everybody. I'm dying in my home." They don't get to be there, in his last moments, as he passes away in the home they made together. All Cleo and Grian can do is mourn for a short moment before trying to save themselves. Grian calls out, "No, Etho, my boy!!!" eyes straying to their home, staying there for a moment, not being able to know what happened there, other than his family being dead. Cleo begins to do something similar- "Etho, you're my bo..." She lets out a sob, her voice cracking, before she quickly distracts herself. She understands now what the goal of the game is, how everyone else is playing it. They're willing to do anything to avenge Etho, even if it means getting killed themselves.

Grian and Cleo- only two of their trio, a blank space left open where another should be- work together, barely leaving each others side. But eventually they're found, even with their trap doing so much damage. Cleo is the second to go, cornered and slaughtered.

Grian was the last to join The Roomies and the last to leave, and he made sure it counted. He fought not only for himself, but for his fallen family. He's only one person, but he fights with the strength of all three of them. Eventually, he's killed, just like the others, but at least he did what he could. He tried, and that was all that mattered.

I'd like to think that Etho and Cleo were waiting for him, then. Etho had waited for Cleo, both of them tearing up at the fact that they got to see each other again. They cheered from above, watching Grian fight off so many more than himself. And when Grian joined them, they opened their arms, the same that had held on so tight throughout the series. The three of them, The Roomies, they had named themselves, were only thankful that their last memories of each other's faces weren't the bloody versions from their deaths.

The three of them were so different. They had different personalities, different friends, different backgrounds. They knew that in the end, only one could win. And yet they were willing to die for each other, ready to murder the whole server in cold blood for even trying to hurt any of them. After trying so hard to not be attached, they couldn't help it.

Family isn't always the blood in your veins; sometimes its the blood on your hands. Sometimes it's the hand that holds yours, despite it being red-stained and calloused. Sometimes it's the ones that would be willing to spill more blood with you, for you, even if it was illogical. Sometimes it's the stupid animals that you named together, sometimes its the adventures that ended up causing pain but you can laugh through because you're not alone.
