#i need to rewatch scott's 3l

[painless-innit-colourful]

scott calls us "obsessed with flower husbands" in his sl ep1 then proceeds to bring up jimmy several times across the episode...... um, sir

#flower husbands truthing in the year 2023 #must make it clear i mean their ocs. but yes i am still examining these two under the microscope. i miss them #i need to rewatch scott's 3l #secret life smp #crim speaks #jimmy solidarity #scott smajor

Flower husbands relationship with martyn in 3rd life? Why did they hate him so much? Why did Martyn try to get Jimmy to leave Scott that one time? Why did Scott say him and Martyn were going to sleep together once they were both dead? Many questions that plague me at night

IM STILL ON MY SCOTT 3L REWATCH THE. THAT FOURTH QUESTION???? HELLO???

(^ edit: anon clarified, ask was referring to the “I wanna cuddle together before we die” comment from martyn)

#I’LL. KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR A LINE LIKE THAT ON MY REWATCH . because if he said that holy shit. i’ll lose it #anyways. martyn trying to split up jimmy and scott in episode 1 is a mix of concern and jealousy imo #jimmy and martyn were near inseparable in evo and this conflict builds from that (martyn directly brings up property police later— #in regards to this fight theyre having) #he’s upset jimmy doesnt want to come live with him instead and sees jimmy’s hesitance as a betrayal basically. and it snowballs from there #it’s. deeper than that. but im very tired. but it’s still deeper than that you have to trust me anon #you have to be able to marry the concepts of martyn splitting fh up for his own self interest AND martyn being genuinely concerned for jimm #this is how we will reach enlightenment anon #asks #I realize this is only one part of the question but yeah I’d need to revisit the rest of this on my rewatch #my original scott 3l notes did not account for martyn

hello 3l rewatcher/canary anon (i still think thats really funny) here again im actually rewatching all of jimmys life series and im on double life and i think he needs to get a restraining order against scott LEAVE HIM AND HIS GOATS ALONEEEEEE the way scott comes over and:

says hello

makes fun of him for making a deal for the goats instead of just taking them

says hes going to kill them (he doesnt but ITS ABOUT THE WAY HE ACTS its like the cake thing all over again. i hate him)

HASDHD You have probably already gotten to that point, but, Scott does end up doing something with the goats... And I'm quite certain Tango nor Jimmy ever found out that their goats WEREN'T dead which. Man

Scott in DL is sooo petty it's insane. His impostor ranch and him burying the goats and playing a large if not the biggest part in "kidnapping" Jimmy and constant remarks at them... Even when he helped put their ranch out he said smth like "see we helped you" like thanks!! Why are you expecting something in return!! The ranchers are anguished leave them be whhhgggg

still feel weird but one of these days im going to talk about how sure scott was of how 3L was going to end (Jimmy and all the other reds die, he’s freed from his war duties and lives peacefully out on his own; thinking of “once we both lose our husbands to the war we can be free”) and how this failed entirely and there’s multiple reasons for this one of which being that he cares way more than he thinks he does. Like the plan was for Jimmy to die and for Ren to die and for him to fuck off but in reality jimmy died and he went home and sat with the quiet and realized how lonely that shitty future was and finally understood jimmys inherent worth in his absence and didnt know how to honor the person he’d been cruel and distant towards the entire series so he threw himself into the war willingly as some way to make things right instead of trying to retire peacefully once his ties to the war were cut is that fucked up or what.

Anyways clip is relevant because last night I rewatched this scene and heard him say this which would have no impact on the average person but unfortunately any reminder of scotts 3l retirement plan is like 1000 knives to me. “They’re not gonna let you retire” she’s literally right his plan is copium at best and she’s pointing it out but he doubles down because he needs to believe this or else everything’s gonna feel horrifying knowing he can’t just play his card right and get out unscathed is thatttt fucked up or what

#that.blue.mf #That first paragraph isnt based on the clip its based on multiple clips im just tired rn. This is all rambling

Neighbour. Neighbour I'm losing my fucking mind. I'm doing a 3L rewatch and Jimmy's ep4 is bad enough with the way Scott doubles down on the belittling, but I hopped to Martyn's ep4 to cross-reference and it. It gets... I can't even say it. It gets WORSE.

So Scott and Martyn meet in hell (where they belong <3), right? They go on a whole road trip, chummy as anything. Martyn tells Scott he's his favourite person. He gives him diamonds. They keep each other safe. They won't stop Giggling. And once they come up to the Flower Valley, Martyn goes: "Do we leave a booby trap in [Jimmy's] base?"

And Scott, casual as ever, shoots back a "I don't want to kill him juuust yet."

Just yet. He doesn't want to kill Jimmy. Yet. Not just yet.

WHY DOES THIS KEEP FUCKING HAPPENING TO ME

The worst part is that this would register as “oh silly joke” to me if it wasn’t for the wider context (Scott’s reaction to Jimmy dying in dare to flare, Scott waiting for Jimmy to die). And tbf a lot of 3l!fh is like that, where in isolated instances it’s like oh whatever but then you step back and look at the whole picture and go “🤨🤨🤨🤨” and i dont. I DONT THINK SCOTT WANTS TO KILL JIMMY he wouldnt genuinely want to do that i just think making a joke like that when you’ve also got All That going on about jimmy and death is. funny. its um. well i uh ☝️illness taking me. hold on. the illness

This also pairs well with Scott’s reaction to Jimmy joking about killing him, where Scott takes it seriously and lays out exactly why Jimmy can’t kill him. This implies that Scott assumes Jimmy may want to kill him genuinely and I think this says more about how scott thinks of himself + how he prepares for bad outcomes than anything (he’s not at all upset about his husband possibly wanting to kill him. he just assumes that Might be a possibility, just in case, and then shrugs it off). So if Scott doesnt mind the thought of Jimmy possibly wanting to kill him, he might figure the comment here and there about not wanting him dead just yet is fair game. Because 3l!scott pre-jimmy death is very nonchalant about death in general actually… it’s likely more of a symptom of that. And tbf there is also the whole “i just came to watch jimmy die” comment he makes at Dare to Flare… AUGGGHHHH I hate thinking about Scott and his relationship to death as a concept and how this influences how he thinks/cares abt his clumsy husband sorry. Fuck i need to eat dinner so so bad so that i can focus and actually make a point

#its fine bree its okay it doesnt mean anythi FALLS DOWN FIVE STAIRWAYS #deranged.fh.posting #asks #i hate it here. whatever. whatever. scott can say whatever he wants i dont care. i dont care. #also. martyn tells scott he’s his favorite person you say . other illnesses activating i need to rewatch this martyn episode it seems #really funny that theyre besties for this episode in general but. yeah. sorry i also havent eaten today yet and my thoughts are NOT concise #everyone psychic read me to make it make sense. thanks
