Inanimate Insanity s4 ep2 thoughts (spoilers)

This ended up being really long

"I mean, MePhone's not the only one who created someone wanting them to be a certain way, only for the creation to defy them."

I was so happy when Marshmallow said this. The show finally acknowledged how it wasn't right for Fan and Test Tube to create Bot to essentially be Bow and take her place. Season 3 mostly just skimmed over the implications of Fan and Test Tube creating Bot, which I think was because AnimationEpic was trying to keep the season lighthearted, and discussing Bot's situation in more depth would go against that. Anyway, I also think it was significant that Marshmallow, Bow's best friend, was the one who brought it up. She would obviously have stronger feelings about this than most people, since she knows Bow personally.

It was also interesting how Fan jumped to defend himself and justify it, by saying that he and Test Tube have a great relationship with Bot, instead of considering Marshmallow's actual point, which was that he and MePhone have more in common than just hosting II. I think that Marshmallow bringing this up caused him to talk to Bot later about joining the competition, which he did to "prove" to himself that what he said to Marshmallow was true. His conversation with Marshmallow also made him think about Season 3, and how he and Bot didn't actually have a great relationship throughout the season. His actions also would've given Bot a negative first impression of him.

To start, he gets eliminated in the second episode of s3, so he and Bot didn't get a lot of time in the season to connect. Obviously, this isn't his fault, but it means that Bot wouldn't have gotten to know him in this season the way they got to know Test Tube and the other contestants.

In the scene in s3 ep8 where Bot confronts Test Tube about them being a robot and knowing that they couldn't be recovered if they died, Test Tube says something interesting. She says,

Her saying that she couldn't accept it BECAUSE Fan couldn't implies that she created Bot, at least partially, FOR Fan, and he's the main reason why Bot exists. She goes on to talk about how while she physically built Bot, Fan was the one who gave them Bow's personality. At this point, Bot probably thought of their interactions with Fan early in the season in a new light, since they now knew that he created them.

Also, during all of this, Fan had the option to stay at Indefinite Island and wait for Test Tube and Bot to show up after they were eliminated (unless they happened to both be in the final three) or get on the rowboat and go back to the hotel. He choose the second option, meaning that he chose to leave behind his problems and procrastinate despite knowing that Bot would eventually learn the truth. Even if Bot never realized they weren't really Bow, they would inevitably go to Hotel OJ and be confronted by people who knew the real Bow was a ghost, and that Bot COULDN'T be her.

When Test Tube got eliminated and she had the same choice, she chose to wait for Bot to be eliminated, so that she could have a chance to make up with them. She had also made mistakes, but unlike Fan, she was willing to partially take responsibility for what she did and get to know Bot as their true self, not as the person she wanted them to be. In Episode 14, Bot is scared of reuniting with Test Tube because they don't know if she will accept them for who they are.

However, during this episode, Bot gains the courage to talk to Test Tube again when they get eliminated, and the two of them have a nice moment.

Bot never got to have this moment with Fan. They knew that they and Test Tube were both brave enough to reunite with each other, so why didn't Fan also wait for them on the island? Bot probably expected him to also be there, since he and Test Tube are equally responsible for them.

However, Fan couldn't avoid his problems forever, because he got called back to the island to be part of the jury, and then this happened:

I think this scene in particular is what Fan was thinking of in season 4, and it's why he felt the need to prove that he and Bot are on good terms. He wants to prove that he can bounce back from this, partially to Marshmallow, but mostly to himself.

Back in s4 ep2, he is inspired by his conversation with Marshmallow and goes to ask Bot if they want to participate in the game. He feels insecure and hopes that this will help him feel better.

After asking Bot, they say that it wouldn't feel right to be in the competition without MePhone.

This could be interpreted as them missing MePhone, which I'm sure they do because they were close friends, but also as Bot not wanting to join specifically because Fan is hosting. Bot also recognizes that Fan feels very insecure about the whole situation and doesn't want to hurt his feelings, so they offer to help out instead of joining.

Fan even asks Bot directly if they think he's a good person. He thought that this conversation was going to help him feel better, but it just made him feel worse and made Bot feel confused. So then he just leaves to start the competition.

Overall, I think it was interesting how Fan reacted to Marshmallow bringing up Bot, and how he failed to justify it to himself and her. He still feels insecure and guilty about it, especially because of his past mistakes from s3. His attempts to make himself feel better about it don't really work, so he might just keep delaying having a proper conversation about it.

This is just my opinion on these scenes, so other people might feel differently about them.

I hope more episodes in Season 4 touch on this topic because it's really interesting to explore
