Cleo's stream today is very funny, she has pointed out the obvious fact that she and Bdubs have had conversations about Twitter and Tumblr as far back as the trouble she had on Tumblr back in 2020 or so, and that Bdubs is very aware of the existence of internet content beyond what is tagged to his attention. She agreed wholeheartedly that him pretending he doesn't is very funny, though.
Now I've got the image in my head of Bdubs trolling Hermittwt the way a dad plays hide and seek with a little kid. "Oh NO! Is there something hiding BEHIND THE DOOR? Maybe I'll go over there and TAKE A LOOK! Or... is there something IN THE CUPBOARD?" and meanwhile the fandom is standing behind the curtains, making a visible fandom-shaped lump in the fabric and giggling loudly.
one thing that ALWAYS gets me about desert duo is the transition from conditional to unconditional loyalty. Throughout the first segment of their allyship, it's all jokes about ”oh i can't wait till im out of this'“ from grian. It is mutually understood that this isn't going to last, but then…. It does. Scar turns red and comes back with flowers and “can we still be friends?” And Grian stays even though Scar could literally kill him on a whim, and after Grian loses his first life he stands at the base of monopoly mountain and says to himself ”I don’t know why, but I can’t let him die.” and hhhhhhh no one talk to me i‘m emotional
