listen, i absolutely get ramon not wanting to talk to sunny & feeling hurt/betrayed by her helping tubbo
like, i'd hazard he might even feel more betrayed by them than tubbo himself—bc sunny & ramon probably talked about what family meant to him (during their sleepovers or something) and ramon has no insight into why they'd do that whereas tubbo, for all his actions have hurt ramon, very clearly has the emotional capacity of a wet paper plate and issues running deeper than marianas trench
but that makes it all the more heart wrenching that he won't hear her out (and you can see in the backgrounds of vods her multiple attempts over several days to get his attention just to be rebuffed) bc i bet if she could explain herself even a little things could be so different
it reminds of the situation from the other week where sunny wasn't talking with em and tubbo tried to explain that, even if you're mad at them, suddenly stopping talking to someone you love could make them feel awful and worse than you intended
and that is what's happening to sunny. it's miserable to see bc she was already so isolated and ramon, as her big brother, is someone she put a lot of trust in to be there for her and listen to her and it must feel to her like that was an empty promise to have him not even hearing her out.
and it's particularly tragic bc sunny didn't even want to mess with fit and pac. yes, she was "tempted" to aid tubbo in his quest, but I really don't think it was bc she was actually worried about being left behind when she agreed. i think she could tell tubbo was scared and hurting and not ready to accept the change and didn't want him to be alone. she didn't really have another option and every adult can see that but ramon is young and blinded by his hurt
and now sunny is left feeling abandoned and forgotten and replaced and it's exactly what their pa said would happen; self fulfilling prophecy :(

This post by @aurorabyler about the similarities between the songs Being Different, The First Lie, and The First I love You got me thinking.
Because it's not just that, it's not just the melodies. It's the fact that I adjusted the tempos a little bit, and that's all it took for the songs to sync up perfectly.
And they're so beautiful together. They really do complete each other. Literally I was speechless when I finally found the right spot in Being Different to sync with the other songs, because I couldn't believe how they were all just identical.
It's overwhelmingly clear that these tracks directly, intentionally, and specifically reference each other. That all of these scenes that the melody appears in are tied to themes of miscommunication/lies, love, subversion of expectations, and queerness/atypical relationships.
...you know what, fuck it, here comes the analysis. Seven characters, four scenes, three tracks, one melody. The four themes I mentioned are typically present throughout the entirety of each scene, but I think they can also serve as a sort of formula- a narrative each scene follows.
When Nancy and Jonathan hook up for the first time:
Miscommunication/lies: They'd been refusing to acknowledge the true nature of their relationship.
Love: They admit their feelings for each other.
Subversion of expectations: Their feelings are requited.
Queerness/atypical relationships: The popular girl fell for the outcast!
When Robin comes out to Steve:
Miscommunication/lies: Robin has been hiding her sexuality, and Steve mistakenly believes he has a chance with her.
Love: Steve has feelings for Robin. Robin admits that she had a crush on Tammy Thompson.
Subversion of expectations: Steve was not expecting this news, but he doesn't get upset.
Queerness/atypical relationships: Robin is a lesbian. Steve wholeheartedly accepts her and still treasures their platonic relationship!
When El kisses Mike:
Miscommunication/lies: El had previously broken up with Mike over the fact that he kept lying to her and making up excuses to avoid her.
Love: El remembers hearing Mike say that he loves her back in the cabin.
Subversion of expectations: She reveals that she heard him say this, and, in return, confesses her own love for Mike. She kisses him and tries to mend their relationship.
Queerness/atypical relationships: Mike doesn't kiss her back or seem to return her sentiment. He stands there, watches her leave, and looks confused. Despite what it may look like on the surface, they are not romantically in love! And maybe he's not as straight as he thought he was...
When Will delivers his veiled confession to Mike:
Miscommunication/lies: Will lies about the painting and uses El's name to cover up his own feelings.
Love: Will is in love with Mike. He wants to confess how much he's struggled without him, and how deeply he values Mike in his life.
Subversion of expectations: Since he uses El's name, his attempt to verbalize his feelings falls short of its original purpose.
Queerness/atypical relationships: Will is gay and in love with his best friend... But maybe this love isn't actually unrequited!
Seven characters, four scenes, three tracks, one melody.
Okay. I'm tempted to believe that maybe the Duffel Bags really are mad geniuses now, because holy shit.
