Having complicated thoughts on Brozone leaving. Half of me is like "HOW COULD THEY LEAVE BRANCH he was a babyyy and he suffered so much"
On the other hand, pretty sure they were kids too. Teens at most. And they left him with an adult they trust, their Grandma. And they clearly didn't know about her getting eaten. Yeah, Branch absolutely doesn't have to forgive them, but they didn't technically do anything wrong either. The only one who promised to come back was Floyd.
I really wish the movie had addressed their parent(s) at least a little, just a smidgen. Cause, like... I understand JD wanting to run away from the responsibility of 4 brothers. I'm a middle child, but my mom moved multiple states away to take care of her siblings and left me with my dad and younger brother. Both of whom are autistic, and my dad has an insane host of health problems. So I've become mom 2.0 because I love them both and want to take care of them. But it can be VERY overwhelming, and if my dad couldn't help at all I might've caved and ran too. And I'm in my twenties. JD had to be like. 16???
That turned into a rant, and I lost my train of thought. Moving on, none of the brothers are really at fault. If anyone is at fault, it's the missing parent(s) or even Grandma. We don't know if she was the primary caretaker, or if she was too old to wrangle them all, or what. So she might not even be really at fault either. Would it have been nice for the brothers to come back and visit? YES! But JD did, and the tree was empty and he had no reason to believe anyone survived. He probably grieved Branch, and with how his colors have dulled a bit, JD may have even gone gray. It could be from age tho, we dunno. But then he got a postcard from Bruce, and probably heard rumors of Floyd's solo career. So he knew he at least had 2 brothers alive and well, so he kept living his life.
I've 100% lost the track, uh. No more thoughts lol

i'm still stuck on the purgatories so here's a list of purgatory 2 moments simply off the top of my head that deserve to be remembered:
aimsey ducking all of axolotl team alone in a cave with literally half a heart
goose gang fucking descending on the raccoon base and absolutely wrecking shop
ethan crankgameplays clutching up for team panda during the capture the flag game by being the only one hanging out in the center and periodically checking the chests, earning them a shitton of flags and clutching multiple rounds
crow team's egg taking 0 damage
pac doxxing goose gang's egg in the last second
shelby shubble as the last member of her team online writing a letter to aimsey and sharing the world's most devastating ten minutes before her team was eliminated with one of the eye creatures (coco? i forgot lol)
badboyhalo absolutely fucking DEMOLISHING the battleship event on like 2 hours of sleep and a dream
wuant(?) stealing a tv from the battleship event and then playing portuguese ice age on it for the crows lmfao
tubbo djing for his team while waiting for the time for a goose gambit
theguill CRASHING THROUGH THE FUCKING CEILING of the raccoon team's hidey hole like the fucking kool aid man in a last effort to save his team and 4v1 or 5v1 ing team raccoon; he lost but that was such an epic fucking moment
theguill and etoiles pvping and each hyping the other's skills the entire time
seapeekay escaping cellbit and baghera and then stealing their boats and rocketing past to tease them about it; that shit was iconic
kenny going mad with power collecting sand on literally day 1
the english speaking squirrels taking actual physical notes on portuguese phrases (i think)

I don’t usually make posts like this, but I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-intellectual junk lately, and I really think we need to put the word “pretentious” up on a shelf until people learn what it actually means.
It doesn’t describe someone who likes artsy-fartsy deep meaning media. People who are pretentious are fake. They’re posers trying to be sophisticated and unique, not like other girls. They pretend to only like stuff they think will make them sound cool when they talk about it. They want to act like they know something you don’t, and they want attention for it.
By definition, if you genuinely enjoy something, you can’t be pretentious. If it resonates with you, and you analyze it, and you don’t care what people think, that’s the polar opposite, actually. If you love obscure experimental prog music, if you watch underground high concept indie films through English teacher eyes, if you spend hours in a modern art museum reading each piece as a vessel for storytelling, if your backpack’s full of poetry books that inspire you, if you play underrated games that were someone’s passion project, if you have an interest in studying the classics or the masters, you are not pretentious.
Of course, some people just don’t like some stuff, and that’s fine, but that’s not what this is about. Don’t let anti-intellectuals shame you for enjoying things just because your interests are inaccessible to them, because they refuse to be brave and put effort into critical thinking. You’re not stuck up for refusing to overlook the craft of artists.
