The most recent session of Secret Life is so fascinating to me, because there's so much emphasis on this idea of heroes and villains in a series that's so full of murder. Like, everyone's doing it! What makes one person a villain for doing it and another a hero? Is it the cycle of violence, that the person in the wrong is whoever committed the crime first? Is murder excused when it's done for the sake of a task? Or for the sake of an ally rather than for yourself?
Scar: "So I'm just the villain of the red lives, the people who can kill me, the people who I was trying to kiss up to with the creeper farm. This is... secret keepers, why do you have it out for me?"
Gem: "All right, wow! I thought I'd have a lot more enemies, but actually I seem to be a bit of a hero on the server! Everyone likes me! Everyone has good things to say!"
Bdubs: "Want me to kill Scar? Okay, great, wonderful, that's going to be my mission for today! I'm going to be the hero of the server today!"
Gem and Scar both had tasks that involved hurting others on the server. So what's the difference? Everyone excuses Gem because it was just her task, but Scar's villainy was a task too. Do the others know that? Do they care? If Bdubs killed Scar, the narrative goes that he would be the hero of the server defeating the great evil villain. Task successful, I suppose.

Idk if you have talked about this (you probably already did) but I'm just curious, in your opinion what is the kids aren't alright about? Have you done any analysis on the song?
i probably Have analyzed it but i can't find it and its been so long so. will Happily ramble here about what i think its about <3 tbh this is the most beautiful ask i could ever get thank u <3
since you asked what i think tkaa is about, i'm not gonna do this in the normal way i analyze songs, which is a more line-by-line style to paint a picture of the whole story of the song, but instead just wanna like. ramble fksjdnf about it and what it means to me
i think the entire meaning of the song can be summed up by the line, "and in the end, i'd do it all again / i think you're my best friend", which really is to mean that i think that the overarching theme of the song is that life can be worth repeating and going through again for the people that you go through it with. connection and relationships give life incredible meaning, even with the bad things, even with sorrow and darkness, love makes it worth it- i'm yours, when it rains it pours, stay thirsty like before, as the song goes. when the storm comes, as the rain starts pouring and destruction closes in on you, wouldn't it be more comforting to have somebody beside you? facing the chaos with their hands in yours? wouldn't it be worth going through the storm again (stay thirsty like before) just to have those moments with the people you love?
and normally when i analyze songs, i very much try to stay away from analyzing them in a way that is very personal to pete/the members of the band just because... i don't wanna be presumptive! but, this song feels like one of the few that i Can't look at separate from pete and the band. no song feels more like a love letter to the band, and even to the fans, than the kids aren't alright. this band has known each other for over half their lives, they have been best friends and brothers for longer than they haven't been. every up and down each of them have gone through since they met each other, they have gone through together, they have seen their darkest sides and deepest depressions and through it all have Still chosen to love each other and stick together. as the rain has come and poured on them, as the storm that is life shipwrecked the band and sent them stranded in seemingly opposite directions, the love remained. the found each other again, because they were willing to do it all again for each other. their love and friendship is the purest embodiment of the song, and is the thesis of fall out boy as a band, to me. even through destruction and overbearing egos and inner turmoil each of them were experiencing that we are likely to never know the depths of- they Chose that their bonds were worth it, their bonds made life worth living and fighting for.
i feel that spirit, that life is worth fighting for if you have someone/something you love to Live for, is perfectly encapsulated by the lyrics, "and it's our time now if you want it to be / maul the world like the carnival bear set free"- if you want, life is ours for the taking regardless of the rest of the world. carnival bears were often mistreated and repressed, beaten down for acting in their nature, if one were set free they would finally truly be Free to be how they wish to be. in the context of the song, because we have each other, we can take the world on how We want, we can be who We want to be, Together. This is also something that i think is the thesis of fall out boy- the band of underdogs for underdogs, fighting for a space in the world to be safe and express themselves how they want to, and because they've found each other and an audience that Understands them, they can maul the world like the carnival bear set free. they are mauling the world, with every song released and show performed, they're taking on the world on their terms as a united band of best friends. and with their fans behind them, that spirit is embodied tenfold, making this song not only feel like a song for the band, about the band, but Also about the fans and for the fans.
before coming to any sweeping conclusion, i wanna talk about the bridge, because i feel like it is the last piece that does fully show what i think the song is about in totality. The bridge goes, "sometimes i just want to sit around and gaze at my shoes / and let your dirty sadness fill me up just like a balloon"- other than the carnival bear line, i believe this might be my favorite lyric of the song (which is saying a lot in a song of banger after banger line), as i feel the imagery it paints is just so heartaching and melancholy in such a beautiful way. there's a lot here in these lyrics, from how in the genius annotations pete annotated this line with a still of someone's shoes and a bunch of guitar pedals on the ground- something he would no doubt gaze down at when gazing down at his shoes while recording or performing, hammering home the meaning of this song being about/for the band and the fans. they share their sadness with each other, with the fans (to an extent), and the fans share their sadness back- music is always a reminder of the bond we all share in our heaviest moments, as is the guitar pedals being present when gazing down at your shoes in sorrow or guilt. another point i want to make is about "gaze at my shoes" perhaps being a play on words about "shoegaze" as a genre of music defined by guitar distortion and effects and a dreamy/ethereal feel- connecting the picture, the lyrics, the meaning of the band and fans always being there and music being a connection between us all, in a way. essentially, i feel this lyric is just a very melancholy, beautiful way to say sometimes its very easy to just wallow in your feelings, but having somebody with you to help take on your sadness, having these connections and these bonds, can make it lighter.
to try and find a way to summarize it, i really do just think the kids aren't alright is about love. in its purest form, it's about love. loving other people enough to live for them, finding the bonds and connections that give meaning to a meaningless existence, allowing yourself to feel pain in equal measure with pleasure. these are things that make life what it is, without these things life would be numb, meaningless nothingness. in the purest way, i believe the kids aren't alright is about what it is to be human and to love with reckless abandon, to be free to be and feel and love even if pain is present. Because pain doesn't diminish the love or light you can experience in life, and allowing yourself to believe anything less is to deny yourself a instrumental piece of the human experience.

The four soldiers of Dogwarts perfectly fit with the four seasons: an unhinged rant of a neurodivergent minor who has had too much sugar
anyways the title explains the idea of this post ^_^
Let's start with fall bc I miss Halloween.
BigB is fall. Fall is a beautiful time of the year, with warm colors and leaves falling and Halloween and time to be with friends. And yet, fall is harsh. It starts out with the warm of summer, and ends a dreary, cold and wet time. Plants do not grow in the later weeks of fall. In the same sense, BigB does not appear threatening. He appears kind and docile, not ready to join the fight (and not one to betray anyone). And yet, just as the fall fades to bitter chill, BigB is capable of much more danger then expected. With or without remorse, betrayal is a option on the table.
Etho is winter. Winter is harsh, bitter, and a constant struggle. Plants are almost unable to grow, snow storms and blizzards can take out many people, and wolves and foxes prowl the forest. And even with it's dangers, winter is a beloved time of year. It's the season of togetherness, with Christmas (and other holidays of this time) and Valentines day both falling during the harshest time of winter. In the same way, Etho is beloved and regarded as a danger. Weither or not they're actually dangerous is up for debate. Winter can pardon those it cares for, and in the same way, Etho is much more loyal then they'll ever let on
Martyn is spring. Yes I know there's the whole 'never made it to spring' deal but bear with me. Spring starts out bitter and wet, with frosts coming to kill off plants that sprout too early. But spring also is full of warmth and sunlight and the promise of a new beginning. And, storms are a common thing to happen during the spring, which can be quiet dangerous if you're not careful. Martyn rarely shows his more loyal side, hiding it behind an uncaring front. And this uncaringness isn't always a lie, but there is small amounts of loyalty still buried like a seed waiting out the frost.
And finally, Skizz is the summer. Spring is the most loved season, promising freedom and warm days with cool nights, skies filled with stars and days spent playing with friends. And yet, summer is storm season in many places, and god forbid that your soil grows dry only to have a heavy downpour. That's a quick way for a flood. And on top of everything else, summer is fleeting. It seems to pass before you even started to enjoy it. In the same way, Skizz promises nothing but loyalty and protection and fun, but a quick switch, that when flipped, shows another side. A side of bloodlust and a hunger for battle. A side that still (despite it all) holds an instinct driven urge to protect.
@thenopequeen here because I fully relate to the need for more of them
@dingdinghq i know you also miss them so here ya go :D

Impulse didn't quite know why he'd originally gone down to the beach with Skizz after their shifts at work, but he'd heard the whistles as soon as they'd stepped out onto the sand.
They sounded eerily like Tango, when their mer friend was curious about something they'd brought him. Impulse put a finger to his lips, motioning for Skizz to stay quiet. He didn't want to scare whatever it was away.
They made their way out onto the jetty of rock, Skizz using his phone to light their way, until Impulse saw it.
It was another merperson. It had to be.
Impulse couldn't see much more than the outline of a head and shoulders. He could tell their hair was white, with the way the moonlight bounced off of it, and he could see-- spines, maybe?
Whatever it was, they seemed to be looking for something, calling out with whistles and clicks now and again. Was there more than one? Tango was always more vocal when someone else was around.
Impulse's gaze was drawn away by Skizz crouching next to him, moving to shine the light over the water, "It's gotta be another merdude like Tango. Right?"
"Shhh-- Skizz, you gotta turn off the light or you're gonna scare it away--" Impulse reached out for the phone, hoping to point it away from the mer.
"Ugh, fine. But it's you're own fault if you trip and fall into the water and drown." Skizz huffed softly, putting his phone back into his pocket.
Impulse saw the mer flinch, disappearing with another high-pitched whistle.
"Skizz--" Impulse huffed, disappointed.
"Hey, it's not my fault!" Skizz huffed right back, before pointing out at something in the dark, tapping Impulse repeatedly on the leg, "Look! look look look look look-- there's another one!"
Impulse twisted, and sure enough, there was a different head poking up from the water.
But before he could do anything else, there was a splash and a flurry of movement, and there was nothing left except ripples.
He carefully scanned the gentle waves, looking for any more movement.
"I wasn't seeing things, right? There's two merpeople down there." Skizz stood up, folding his arms across his chest.
"Yeah, I saw them too. They know we're here though." Impulse frowned, edging further out onto the rocks. "I didn't see where they went. Can you?"
"No dude, they've completely disappeared!"
Impulse sighed. On one hand, it was probably a good thing that the mer were so wary of them, but on the other hand, Impulse was hoping to get some more information about where Tango might've been taken. Odds were, these were just random mer who'd gotten washed in on the tide. But hey, they might get lucky.
"I've got a recording of Tango on my phone from before he started talking." Skizz pulled his phone back out, flipping to his photos, "Maybe we can get them to come up?"
"That might work. Just be careful."
Skizz hit play, and there was an almost instantaneous reaction from the mer, an answering call coming from the darkness off the side of the jetty.
Impulse crouched, trying to see if they could get closer to the water, instead of being up on the rocks like they were. He pulled out his keys, because he had a flashlight on those and also he still hadn't gotten a new phone yet. Impulse used the light to see where he was going as he slid down to a shelf that was probably covered at high tide.
There was another series of chirps and warbles, and Impulse could see the vague shapes bobbing up and down at the edge of the sea.
Skizz shuffled down after him, and Impulse gave him a steadying hand as he looked over to where the figures were.
There were two of them, but it was hard to see anything but vague outlines in the dark. Impulse didn't want to turn his flashlight back on-- he didn't want to startle them any more than they probably were.
Skizz, apparently, had no such reservations, turning on his flashlight and shining it right in the mers' faces. Great going Skizz.
They were undoubtably the same kind of creature that Tango was. The one with white hair had a woven band holding it away from their face, and because of the light, Impulse could see the red-black heterochromia. A scar cut over their left eye-- the red one-- and instead of ear-fins like Tango, they looked like they had a frill of spines framing their head. Strangely enough, he looked like he was wearing some sort of ninja mask, with one webbed hand pressed over his mouth. Impulse could also see striped, spiney fins running down his arms. In fact, the mer was so still that the only movement Impulse could see was those spines flexing.
The second one had flinched away from the sudden flash of light, drawing Impulse's gaze away. He had dark hair, and big, dark eyes almost too large for his face. While the first mer seemed to be covered in spines and stripes, this one seemed to be coated in algae? He'd brought his hands up to shield his face from the light with an offended squawk, and all up his arms was covered in-- it had to be some sort of moss or algae or something, because it certainly wasn't scales. He looked so confused, almost like a kicked puppy.
"Hey-- hey, do you guys understand English?" Skizz asked, shifting closer.
Impulse pushed the light down, "Stop it, you're scaring them. How would you like to be flashed like that?"
"Do you wanna get pulled into the water cause we can't see where they are?" Skizz countered, "You know how jumpy Tango was at the start--"
"Speaking of, you can turn off the video now, I think. That one looks so confused." Impulse gestured over to the green mer, "I don't think mer have phones in the ocean, do you?"
"Right. Uhm. Hold on one second--" Skizz flicked off the video of Tango, and it was like a spell had been broken.
The spined mer lunged at Skizz with a violent hiss and a rattle of spines, coming at least halfway out of the water. Skizz tripped backwards, dropping his phone onto the rocks.
Impulse wished he had a pole or something to get between themselves and the mer, because those spines looked nasty.
"Woah woah woah hey--!" Skizz shouted, scrambling backwards. The mer's spines just barely missed his feet as he yanked them back.
Impulse had managed to retreat back up the rocks, getting out of reach before the mer could try to attack him too, "Hey-- woah calm down! We're friends. Friends--"
Impulse stayed put as the mer proceeded to talk at each other, clicking and chirping and whistling so fast that Impulse couldn't even hope to keep up, even if he did understand them.
The mer disappeared under the water, the green one pulling his friend down and out of sight. Skizz took the oppurtunity to snatch up his phone from where it'd fallen.
"Oh hey, it didn't break."
"Skizz-- get back here! Just because Tango's not venomous doesn't mean that these mer aren't!" Impulse shifted back so Skizz could climb back up too.
"I don't think they're going to come back up, dipple-dop." Skizz protested, but he backed away from the water anyway, "And I don't think they like us."
"Yah think?"
The only thing to be heard for a long moment was the lapping of water against the rocks. Impulse took a deep breath, waiting to see if the mer would reappear.
"Yeah, looks like they're gone. . ." Skizz muttered, "I know you miss Tango, I miss him as much as you do buddy, but these guys are wild. They probably think we're going to hurt them."
Impulse let out a sigh, "Yeah. . . I bet they don't understand what we're saying."
Skizz was proven wrong a moment later when both mer surfaced again, the spiney one rising head and shoulders above the water, while the other barely poked their eyes and ears out. They were further out than before, well away from the rocks.
"Oh, hello." Skizz sat forward, "They've gotta want something, right? They'd have run off otherwise."
Impulse was the next one to be proven wrong, when one of the mer called out in heavily accented English.
"How do you have that recording? Where is our--?"The next word was a warble-- "Where is--" That was the one series of clicks and whistle which Impulse recognized. It was one Tango had repeated to them countless times, trying to get them to say it right-- Tango's name.
What were the odds indeed?

Couple of boyfriends have a little chat
"This one's taken a real shining to you eh"
"Why are you talking like that??"
"What do you mean? I always talk like this"
"Whatever you say Etho, anyways shush you'll wake him up"
"Oh but when I'm tired you don't let me lie on your lap and stroke my hair"
"Pfft, are you really being jealous right now"
"I've barely seen you two apart this session, is he blackmailing you? or wait- are you blackmailing him?"
"Rude! it's nothing like that!"
"Oh?"
"...I promised I'd give him the world"
".........why?"
"it's different... I guess... softer... less pressure when he's around"
"Ouch Is that a dig on me?"
"You know that's not what I meant... Now that there's not much fear of immediate death this time around, we've just been talking y'know, just hanging out..."
"He followed me around the whole time last session! He's super suspicious!"
"I think that's just because you're paranoid Etho"
"Wha- paranoid? me? Bdubs you know I'm no-"
"Could also be because you're wary of how much he looks up to you, because you think you don't deserve it."
"..."
"It's funny, at the second session where he needed to be your best friend for a time? He was so nervous but also so excited. He asked me to show him where you were and he was buzzing the whole way.
That's when I knew that his task had something to do with you y'know, because he never would've approached you so boldly otherwise"
"Now you're just making me feel bad"
"He looks up to you Etho, with good reason too, you can't really deny that... and maybe you should feel bad when you left him with Lizzie."
"...aw did he tell on me?"
"No... but I could tell"
"..."
"..."
"I can't believe my boyfriend is hanging out with another man, I'm telling Cleo"
"wha- HEY!"
