cutest guy

sometimes I wonder what would happen if people spent their time like...volunteering to help kids read or something instead of sending anonymous hate about fandom ships. but idk. probably a bad idea. I'm just a guy, after all.

I have been rewatching secret life and once again I refuse to be normal about the fact that when the task had warden wrangling in it, TANGO WAS OUT THAT WEEK.

Secret life happened in the middle of decked out 2 being playable and there is something to me about that coincidence that just is so wild.

(I know that irl tango was on vacation and then sick but IN UNIVERSE)

Just I love the idea if Secretkeeper writing the hard tasks down, knowing they will get to Grian and Etho and idea of like one of the watcheres or Grian himself reading it and responding "well at least they have Tango, and he may roll the butler task" and Secretkeeper realising that shit, they indeed have Tango, who already had a success with bringing a warden up to the surface in a life series, and also has been working with wardens for months at this point and probably knows the most obscure things about them and how to best detain them and they have to do something about Tango, because they can't have him there.

So in a panic they last second replace a very confused Tango with Ren, but Etho is the one who gets to bring up the warden, and well, let's just say that he knows the creatures of the dungeon almost as well as the creator of it himself.

I just love the idea of conversation between secretkeeper and watchere going something like:

'what about Tango?'

'what about him?'

'he has his own game, full of those things, done without having to ascend'

and Secretkeeper afterwards just very quickly swapping Ren and Tango, last minute in a panic.

(in the voice of a guy that will defy fate to save you) i don't care

okay but I'm watching tangotek's pov of double life and there's something so deeply painful about the scene where the ranch burns down. like. jimmy and tango, they've had a rough start, they don't have much. they died, tango lost his stuff, jimmy is jimmy. but they've worked so hard to scrape up their little living together. it seems like nothing special to the rest of the players but to them, it's something. tango worked to make their little house nice. they ran around gathering animals and learning to be ranchers if they couldn't be miners or fighters. they've worked so, so hard. and now, it's all burning down. so much effort and investment so easily disposed of, just because of a few misplaced words about a panda. they try, they frantically try to save the life they built, the house they made to keep off the rain. to no avail. everything flammable on the house burns down. not even all the animals are spared scar came for revenge for his precious animals but he just passes on the suffering. no wonder tango is so, so enraged (and his flashback!!!). for the first time ever, jimmy is the one calming someone down in the dynamic. jimmy has to convince his soulmate not to run off and retaliate in a way that will cause both of them nothing but harm. but obviously it's not permanent--tango can only simmer down and plot when to flare up. tango is made of fire--the same fire that burned his ranchhouse, and his anger represents the continuation of the cycle of revenge that burned down his hard-earned, simple little home. the cycle of violence, of vengeance, that eventually destroys the entire server. everyone always says they're just going to get their justice and then let go, but then the person they revenged on wants payment in turn, and on and on and ON it goes, until there's no one left on the server.

Jimmy and Tango leave first.
