Your Honor, I miss them. A lot. (Not a ship post. I just really like their dynamic and would love to see them interact more)
(Close ups + a lyric analysis of a song I think fits their dynamic below)
They got that matching pfp potential 👀
Lyrics:
“This is just some trip that we are on. When the trip is over, we will think of this as someplace that we once belonged. When I find no comfort here, I’ll look again to find it in your arms. That is where I’ll dream a dream where I am you and you are me, and that’s where I know love.”
Song: “Endless Dream” by Conjure One
Tango and Jimmy barely knew each other before DL, but being soulbound, even if it was for shorter of a time than any other pair, connected them in a way that was so incredibly fulfilling for the both of them. Tango got to have a partner he could trust to not betray him, and Jimmy got to have a partner he could trust to trust him. And unlike a lot of the other pairs, they continue to refer to each other as “my rancher” and have a lot of affection based on DL that they refer back to. They each felt seen by the other, and even though they have their own friends in their own separate lives, they put a lot of value on that brief yet powerful mutual understanding.
Idk, man. I really like these two and would love to see more interactions with them.

Here is a dream Jimmy has had again and again: he is sitting in a cage.
It is, he thinks, probably not a particularly nice birdcage. No one’s bothered to gild it; maybe he should consider it lucky for the white polymer enameling that means the bars don’t rust, but in some ways, it’s more insulting that no one’s tried to dress up that it’s a cage. There is straw on the bottom, a water dish, a small plate of fruit. There are mirrors and colorful bells and perches hanging from the ceiling. There is a knife on the floor, half-hidden by the straw and so polished that it almost looks like a mirror.
As he starts to pull his hands away from the straw he’s been sat upon, recoiling from the knife for reasons he doesn’t know how to explain, he can see he’s not alone. There’s a bird in here with him, a little yellow canary. (Of course there is.) The bird mostly hops, rather than flying, but its wings aren’t clipped; it could fly if someone let it out of the cage. It has a lovely song, and it sings it over and over, as though it doesn’t know what else to do when it’s locked in.
That’s normally when Jimmy looks for the door, then. There’s a little black digital lock holding the cage shut. It’s on the wrong side of the bars and the bars are too close together for him to reach anyway. The first time he had the dream, he spent the whole time there, trying to figure out how to get at the lock. He couldn’t figure it out, though, not before he suddenly stopped being able to breathe.
The rest of the times he’s had the dream, he’s bothered to look outwards. There, he sees people; many of them are familiar, but most of them are strangers, blurry figures that are only distinctive in that all their eyes are looking at the cage. He yells for their attention, rattles the cage, rages, and sometimes, one of the familiar faces sees him. Tango and Joel at least tried the lock; they didn’t know the passcode any more than he did. Others talk to him, but don’t bother with the lock. Jimmy tries not to be angry. It’s not like it will open without the code.
No one else seems to see him at all, though. They’re too focused on the bird. His words steadily get more and more drowned out by the birdsong, even as the room starts to heat up and smoke starts to coil on the ground. By that point, not even the people who know Jimmy seem to be able to hear him over mesmerizing birdsong, and as he desperately tries to get someone’s attention, vision swimming in and out, desperately tries to reach the lock again, do anything, nothing happens.
And then, one time, they turn to look at him as the bird succumbs before he does to the smoke.
They still don’t get the door open in time.
But the last time Jimmy has the dream, it’s shown him what to do.
He picks up the knife.
And as he exits the mine with blood and yellow feathers on his hands, he does not regret it at all.

i love the comparison between what QSMP did to Philza and what Double Life & ESMP 2 has done to Joel
like
Philza: I am a STRAIGHT MAN in a PLATONIC relationship with Missa. PLATONIC husbands. *hides aggressively gay rp away* I kissed him.. BECAUSE of the CHALLENGE. TOTALLY didn't mean anything. Nope, my character is NOT simping.
Kristin: This is my husband Philza, and that's Philza's husband Missa, and that's Phil's boyfriend Fit, and that's his other boyfriend Etoiles
vs
Joel: Hey BABE *blows kiss at Jimmy* Oh hi Sausage, i'm here to drop off OUR CHILD *pats Hermes on the head* EEFOOOOOOOO WHY ARE YOU SOOOO OBSESSED WITH MEEE??? *neck kisses intensify*
Lizzie: ... babe, calm down please
