I promised rambling about Tango in the death games, so here is my rambling about Tango in the death games. (also disclaimer I have not seen his 3rd Life series so details on that might be off, but I’m gonna not go as in-depth on that one anyway) (another disclaimer, I have not gone back and rewatched anything for this it is off the top of my head so if there is anything I get wrong that would be why)

(@skitter-kitter @hira-a @casual-carcass you guys told me I should post this hello <33)

TLDR: Every round of the game, Tango tries to do something meaningful, something that will have an impact on the world, and every time, he fails. He is doomed to die by the hands of his allies and he is doomed to die alone and he is doomed to have no one care about his death.

Impact

Every season, Tango does something to make things interesting, but they never have a lasting impact, or at least not one that makes people remember him. In 3rd Life, he makes Dare To Flare, and it kills two people but in the series as a whole there is no huge...impact in the story overall.

In Last Life, he does You Bet Your Life and it lasts all of about two episodes. Not even, really. He very very briefly has the most lives and then someone goes red and his game ends and he gives them all away. You Bet Your Life fades into memory, but it also sets a precedent for Tango for the rest of the season: the most impactful things he does are give away lives (against his will).

Finally, in Double Life, he brings a Warden to the surface, which is an impressive feat even if he wasn’t on a hardcore server. Except...no one even dies from it, and it gets stuck in his base, and then in the river, and then it dies. Nothing happens with it except brief, quickly-forgotten chaos. Like always, it doesn’t matter to anyone except Tango. They remember it, at least, but there’s no lasting impact.

Sensing a theme, here? He’ll do something and it’ll matter in the moment but never again; it’ll be forgotten as soon as it’s over.

Death

Every single season, Tango has gotten killed by his allies. In 3rd Life, Impulse kills him when Bdubs sets the firing squad against him. In Last Life, Bdubs quite literally stabs him in the back. In Double Life, it’s a little different because his health is linked with his ally, but...I mean, Jimmy still kills him twice, technically. And even if they weren’t officially allies with Joel and Etho, they were at least neutral/friendly when they killed them. Tango will have allies, and maybe he’ll even have a strong alliance with someone, but that doesn’t matter when he’s still going to end up alone and dead by the hand of someone he trusted.

Let’s go back to the meaninglessness for a moment. When he permadies in 3rd Life, it’s during a war that he barely has a stake in and no one even really notices or cares that he’s gone. He’s just a casualty.

In Last Life...when Bdubs kills him, it isn’t forgettable, but his rage doesn’t...go anywhere. He can’t do anything with it because there are more important things to worry about, so it doesn’t matter, really. And then he blows himself up. And then he blows himself up again. It’s nobody’s fault but his own. They were stupid mistakes that could’ve been avoided and weren’t but that doesn’t matter anymore because he’s dead. His episode ends with seven minutes of black screen; it was so that the viewers didn’t immediately catch on that he’d died that session, but all it really does is make his death seem even emptier.

And then in Double Life, his first death is an accident, an explosion that could’ve maybe been avoided. His second death, he dies in what looks like the crossfire of a fight that isn't his, except they ARE gunning for his blood but no one knows it. And then when he dies permanently...he’s alone. It’s not even his fault, it’s Jimmy’s (though it arguably isn’t Jimmy’s fault, either; it’s yet another stupid death that could’ve been avoided if they’d just been a little more careful). It’s a stupid death and he gives us another black screen except this time, he laughs about it at the very end. It’s not funny.

Remembrance

We already talked about how none of Tango’s attempts at something meaningful get remembered, except the Warden. We already talked about how his final death in 3rd Life was just...quiet. Barely noticeable. His final death in Last Life is pretty much the opposite of that - he even gets a grave! But it’s not...it’s not a grave for him, really; Grian built it. Grian, who was mourning Mumbo. Grian, who wrote “peace love and plants” on the sign. It has Tango’s name. It’s not his.

And then in Double Life...I said that the Warden was remembered, even if it didn’t have an impact. It got a grave. Tango (and Jimmy) mourned it, while he could. It’s...a little funny how it’ll be more remembered than Tango was. Again, he got a grave, technically. Kind of. His soulmate gets a grave, so close enough. Tango’s name isn’t anywhere on it, and he’s barely mentioned in anyone’s small eulogies. (Edit: he does have a grave, but it’s unmarked and not or barely mentioned.) He died alone. It’s not his fault. He’s barely remembered. Anyone who would care is already dead.

I don’t know how to end this. I’ll just...fade to black.

~NOW CASTING NATIONWIDE, LONG DISTANCE COUPLES FOR MAJOR CABLE NETWORK~

(Everyone selected will be paid for their time)

My name is Christian, I’m a casting associate at Sharkbait Casting. Our team is currently in the process of casting a new documentary-style series about long distance relationships for a major cable network!

On the program we’ll be trying to help couples who are in long distance relationships that have never met or haven’t seen each other for an extended period of time. The goal of the show is to remove any barriers keeping you two apart, and hopefully capture the sparks that fly when you two are reunited/ finally meet in person for the first time.

If you or someone you know could use our help apply directly through our casting crane online application (https://onlinerelationships.castingcrane.com/) or email us at [email protected]

I am also more than happy to answer any questions, just shoot me a DM. Genuinely always happy to chat, so don't be a stranger!

So like most people on here I had been watching Watcher since they started their channel, and like most others I was surprised/concerned at the announcement that they're starting a streaming service. After checking out the site and looking close at their YouTube, this feels destined to fail.

I'll go through my thoughts.

They don't currently post enough to justify the paywall

Over the past year, they have posted between 4 to 9 videos a month. That is a decent amount for most YouTube channels, but for a streaming service that is way to low. For $5.99 a month, getting only 4 episodes is not a good deal when other services give you more for less.

What makes this problem worse it that...

They only produce one show at a time

Whenever Watcher releases a shows, they only have that show running. During a series of Mystery Files, they only upload Mystery Files. During a series of Too Many Spirits, they only upload Too Many Spirits. Now this isn't the case all the time, when they have smaller productions they usually release a similar size production along with it.

If we go back to the issue of only getting 4 episodes, this means that you can be paying $5.99 a month to access 4 episodes of a show that you don't enjoy.

These two issues would be less detrimental if it wasn't for the fact that...

They backpedalled removing their YouTube back catalogue

Lets be real, not only were they originally going to remove their YouTube content, It was the only way I could see this being worth the price.

Yes, they say that they aren't removing it, but if you read the full article it say's that "The company originally told Variety that Watcher would eventually remove all of its videos from YouTube".

Their original plan WAS to make all their content exclusive to streaming, the problem was that everyone new this was a scummy idea and they gaslit their audience into thinking they weren't doing that. But that now leaves them with a streaming service where all they offer is 4 episodes of a show per month and a back catalogue that is free on a more well known platform.

The big question I have is...

How are they going to make more content

This is something that I feel should be addressed, they are a small production studio who are trying to "creating television-caliber, unscripted series in the digital space" (direct quote from their YouTube Description). They need more content per month to make this service worth while, how are they going to do that?

Will they push out multiple small budget, easy to film, YouTube like content that bring up the overall upload count which may cause them and their employees to crunch and burn out.

Or are they going to produce several higher budget, TV-calibre shows that would each be more expensive than they can afford to make.

Not sure if this was coherent but thanks for reading anyway.

(sidenote)

While I agree that Steven is getting a huge bulk of the anger that should also be applied to Shane and Ryan, I also have to acknowledge that the first announced show after saying they need money being his travel show is not helping.

attractive things they do

— w. vice rizzwardens and ruggie

⤷ how the littlest actions they execute can make your heart skip a beat

cw: wee bit of favouritism put into trey’s, passive reader...c:

TREY CLOVER

telling you to focus when you’re caught staring at him.

trey's perceptive—and that normally drags you down to a disadvantage in your stance. when your eyes carelessly stray to any revealed parts of his body, to his bare neck, from his toned forearms and his veiny hands that flexed under each stroke of the pen while he jots down the next set of formulas to help you with your forthcoming exams, he breathes a small chuckle and reminds you to keep your eyes on the work, not him. are you absolutely sure you're not going to bomb those exams on the spot?

placing his hand on your forehead to check if you have a fever.

the whirling butterflies you get in your stomach just from the supposed unromantic proximity is downright laughable. and your mind's in a mess—what's with trey and his tendency to lean in unnecessarily close when he does this? until the tip of your noses are touching too? he finds it amusing how the innocence of such an act can drive you bereft of speech. you on the other hand, wonder how such things can be categorised as 'innocent' without a second thought. he playfully delivers a soft flick to your forehead after that.

smiling at you when you get excited over the littlest things.

his knowing smile goes missed when you squeal in delight. was it an announcement for the next sequel of a series you've been recently binging? your favourite artists revealing a comeback in the most unexpected timing? regardless, trey has his eyes set entirely on you while you're still on cloud 9. your moment of ecstasy gradually dies down once you notice the small smirk that graces his lips, earning a rapid rush of blood to your ears.

RUGGIE BUCCHI

placing a quick peck on your cheek when he passes by in the hallway.

when ruggie would speed to his next class in a hurry, sometimes he would see you from the corner of his eyes. the unaware, unsuspecting you who wouldn’t even hear his footsteps that blends in within the rest of the noise approaching closer from behind. when he whistles your name out in the open to capture your attention, the swift feeling of smooth, velvety lips come in contact upon your cheek. and being the devious hyena he is—he slips away as quickly as how he came by. the echoing snickers that leaves his lips has you cupping your cheeks in embarrassment.

calmly protecting you from harm.

one moment, you’re being picked on by a group of huddled pests that throw unscripted threats to your vulnerable self. the next, a silhouette appears infront of you, unhurried, as it speaks out an incantation before the perpetrators hit the ground the next second. you’re not sure how it happened, the pace of how things went flew by in a flash, but ruggie just turns back smugly and reassures you that you’re all good. there’s no mistaking it, you were charmed.

reminding you to take care of yourself.

your heart is filled with fondness to the brim when ruggie makes sure that you won’t neglect your own health when he’s gone. he’ll make sure you have every necessity checked off the list, from 10 whole packs of rice crackers and countless bottled water enough to fill a whole carriage he purchased from the nearest (and cheapest) convenience store he could find. he doesn’t leave without a fleeting peck to the lips, before patting your head and spurting off to his next destination.

JADE LEECH

calling you sweet pet names when he catches you off guard.

you’re aware that jade’s an utter meanie when it comes to grasping opportunities to elicit a reaction from you at best. when he catches you in his field of sight, unguarded, not bothering a single soul, he’ll call out to you! but, not by your name, an endearing pet name that he picked out all for you. “my dearest, would you allow me to accompany you to wherever for today?” he talks, coyly. you knew better than to let yourself stutter out the next few words you wanted to say.

staying unfazed when you get mad at him.

you wish you were wiser when it comes to disputes between you and him, but the bubbling anger gets too hard to take control of that you wouldn’t dare to see yourself the next moment when you burst. despite your outburst—which to jade—was none other than expected, his expression remains unaltered. he rather relishes in the way your body cowers back in response to his longing stare, feeling fairly shy after creating such a scene. but he just brushes it off and reminds you to take it slow, that this childish bickering between you two is doing none of you good. he’ll make sure to brew you some steaming tea (and talk about how adorable you were).

pushing your hair behind your ear.

mid-conversation, he doesn’t seem to care, jade’ll nonchalantly tuck your hair back behind your ear when he notices it getting a tad too untidy. your breath hitches, and before you knew it, it didn’t even seem casual in the least. with different-coloured eyes burning right into yours, he doesn’t overlook the way your fingers twitch and how your ramblings came to a screeching halt. he backs himself once again, insisting you to continue from where you stopped. if that’s the way you’re going to react, he might as well do this as much as he can, yes?

JAMIL VIPER

placing his hand on your waist to gently push you aside.

the sudden pressure that plants itself on your waist startles you. you were just peeling some vegetables until spindly fingers came to rest at your side, a hand that belonged to jamil, and smoothly maneuvered you aside while he whispers a low ‘excuse me’ as he opens the nearest cabinet right above both of your heads. the closeness that came out of the blue between your body and his leaves you lightheaded. he knows, very well, and when he’s done, he reminds you to not hurt yourself when handling the peeler.

casually helps out with anything you’re struggling with.

jamil’s observant and simultaneously befuddled. he’s just...helping you with the laundry? but, it was just a small stutter. how exactly could he catch onto you that quick? nevertheless, he rather takes immense pleasure in the way you scratch the back of your head so bashfully when casually questioned of your inability to carry out such ordinary things. he titters, just a bit, when you compliment him back on how amazingly capable he is. please, don’t start acting any more like kalim now.

sternly calls for your name when you get distracted.

you mentally curse yourself out for neglecting such a trivial task of yours. whether you’re conversing with others, a little too heart-to-heart that you’re even starting to pay less mind to a particular someone, he’ll sternly call out your name, silently nodding his head towards the direction where you both were supposed to head to, blankness and impatience that swirls in the very same eyes that look your figure up and down. forget who you were talking to, you were running to him the next instant.

ROOK HUNT

insists you to rest your head on his shoulder.

your sleep schedule can be described as nothing other than disastrous—and for rook, is sorely distraught! please, work yourself no more, he needs you to take your beauty rest until he deems you ready for the day, priming you by telling you to lay your pretty little head on his shoulder. he doesn’t mind in the least, anything for his beloved, anything to see you sheepish by the sudden body contact.

is able to detect your lies and see right through you.

a hunter takes many things into account. a human’s scent, eye movements, and...body language. he stares at you, slit-eyed as his mouth curls into a mischievous curve. forget about lying, he adores the way your eyes direct to the ground beneath you. “oh, my beloved, don’t act so shy now.” right, he isn’t the strange one here, is he? you yourself believe that it’s you, for thinking that such words that leave his mouth makes you weak in the knees.

gets captivated by your weirdest habits.

pour the milk before cereal first? liking ice cream only when it’s melted so you can drink it? rook is more than fascinated, much to your surprise (or not?). he heartens you, telling you about how you’re the apple of his eyes and how he’s so out-and-out allured to such new habits that catches his eyes. if you get too shy to carry out this so-called habit, he tells you once again that he would never be judgemental over things that are out of your control, and he finds you so, so beautiful.

LILIA VANROUGE

teasingly licks his lips after kissing you.

‘to have a good taste’ is what he said. no, there’s no other hidden motives like wanting to see you flustered, is there? your bewildered gaze follows the tip of his tongue, cunningly sliding across his bottom lip, maintaining eye contact—maintaining and dominating it at that, your eyes being fidgety as it is. his sly front immediately breaks down when he can sense the heat rushing to your cheeks, you didn’t even realise it was there in the first place. can he...kiss you again to see him do it one more time?

quietly reassures you in stressful situations.

he’s a mixture of cheeky and serious when he does it. but no worries, such unruly animals can only act so brash before getting disciplined by its rightful owner. lilia tells you all sorts of quiet affirmations, squeezing your shoulders and mutters words of encouragement and that you’re a smart little one, are you not? now, don’t sully such an image that has so much concealed potential, show him that you’re way past being taken advantage of.

blows into your ear when you least expect it.

you let out a small gasp when you feel something, a tiny gust of wind brushing through the baby hairs of your ear. lilia only chuckles at such a lovable reaction, he doesn’t care about what you were previously doing in the least, he’ll run his hands up and down your arm, transmitting uncontrollable shivers that course through your body from head to toe. oh, he’s scheming to make sure to take out that flirtatious act so much more, the more you tell him not to do it, it only tugs the playful strings in his heart that makes him want to do it even more.
