I have FINISHED bdubs' limited life POV and here are my takeaways:
the clockers have truly the best team lore to ever evolve in this game. their family was complicated and sometimes scar and bdubs said "let's shoot mom" but at the end of it all they loved each other so much :((((((
the structure of this game was not my favorite. the last two episodes especially were so chaotic and exhausting to watch, with the multi-layer skynets and people taking constant pot shots and tnt minecarts dropping left and right. I think the season really suffered from all of the lives given by the 24-hour conceit. there was no tension and everyone was losing lives like it meant nothing.
bdubs decided to contribute to other people's plots bc he wasn't uploading his own POV and it was.... meh. he spent most of his time helping cleo and scar with their own tasks and didn't take the initiative to start any plots of his own. the one thruline he did push was a delicious toxic dynamic with Etho where his misplaced undying loyalty would inevitably end with him being killed/betrayed by etho
and then he ended the season on cleo saying etho killed bdubs (which didn't even happen) but wrapped up his plotline with a nice bow!
this list is devolving into ethubs derangement it's just. bdubs decided this. he decided he was going to ally with the clockers but have this weird thing with etho on the side and he would kind of undermine etho but would get in between etho and scar once scar started swinging and he would play up his slavish loyalty knowing all the time that etho (hopefully!) would try to kill him
he's a freak. he loves this dynamic. he loves misplaced loyalty. he loves etho using him. he loves being used

i didnt get my dl ethubs thesis out in time for 3ls4 which is so sad but ive been so busy this week and i still dont even know how id want to organize my thoughts on the matter. but in the most deranged chronically online way possible, not writing up that post makes me feel like im going into the next season without closure from the last which i know is SO DUMB!!!! and yet
#im excited!!!!!!! for sure!!!!!!!!#but in like a nauseous anxious way#yo i wish my body could let me experience excitement without making me feel physically ill#anyway#i think part of that post idea bombing comes from being afraid of being embarrassingly sincere#while also not saying anything new#because really like.#weve all talked about etho clinging desperately to last life#and we’ve talked about how they both tried to ruin each others soulbounds si they could be together again#and weve talked extensively about how their inability to communicate will always keep them just out of reach of each other#like none of this is new#but have we talked about ethos grief in ll coming out as ‘i thought he would get a life back and we would be together’#and how he titled the first dl episode ‘stuck together forever’ with bdubs on the thumbnail#as if its not exactly what he wanted and still wants#and have we talked about chasing wind?#i have seen all the things that are done under the sun#all of them are meaningless#a chasing after the wind#with impulse on the thumbnail#what are you chasing#what were you thinking when you said that you used to be good at these things#what are you fighting for#is it a happy marriage?#man.
