My Thoughts On I.I.I Episode 14

I absolutely loved the newest episode! My god all the references and other things! Interesting challenge but I loved it as well!

[Spoilers incoming!]

First off. I LOVED THAT BOT AND CABBY HAVE A FRIENDSHIP NOW!!! IT'S SO WHOLESOME AND ADORABLE!

I'm honestly a little surprised that they became friends in the first place but still, it's a very sweet friendship with Cabby letting go of file writing, in the very least for Bot, and also supporting Bot! It's just so sweet. I just can't believe that one of my oneshots kind of came true! (I wrote a Cabby & Bot oneshot on Ao3 a while back)

The ending scene too with Bot, Goo, Test Tube, and the creature was lovely! They finally met each other again :3

And Nickel and Balloon. Nickel and Balloon. Truly a breakup. I suppose Suitcase would've wanted this? I haven't watched S2 in a while but considering the artwork I've seen, I think Suitcase wouldn't have liked Nickel and Balloon being friends. It was on shaky ground in the first place and the past still affects them. Then again it's the past. Maybe Suitcase wanted the past to be left behind. I can't tell.

Silver Spoon's betrayal. I'll be honest. I wasn't expecting it. Not one bit. He is a trickster but I wasn't expecting him to, not exactly force, Yin-Yang to fall! Very unexpected for me.

Also I just remembered. Mephone's childhood. It's, odd seeing him happy about it. After all, we had an entire episode whose challenge was to recollect his memories. Does he not remember how bad his childhood was or was it actually a blissful ignorance? Or alternatively, he just doesn't want to remember. I'm willing to go with blissful ignorance but still it's rather odd.

Speaking of childhood, let's move onto Cabby! She didn't quite say what her parents were like. Overprotective of her? Worried for her due to her memory issues? That's what I'm picking up from it. It could be something else of course. Parents constantly arguing but I'm going with overprotective (got that from a oneshot I read). Always worried for Cabby back then, so they became overbearing.

I'll switch topics. The Floor! Not too much screen time, at least I think, but they were great at their job! Good to see them not being mistreated!

That's all I have to say for now. It was a fantastic episode and I loved it!

Thoughts on Episode 12 of I.I.I

I absolutely loved it!  With the Floor and the callbacks to S2, it was just fantastic ^^

[Spoilers incoming!]

Such as finally mentioning Lightbulb by name! The reaction from Paintbrush when Cabby painted (pun intended) Lightbulb in a bad light was amazing. It really showed how much of the two bonded back in S2 and how much she had an impact on them. 

Although, I do find it silly that Paintbrush was eliminated on the 12th episode again. Seriously, they were eliminated on the 12th flippin’ episode again!?! I was expecting them to stay in since I thought they were going to have an arc (no longer sure what the arc was about, more research required) but it’s sweet for them to realize that they belong in Hotel OJ with the rest of their other friends :3

And also the fact they said, “I’m coming home Baxter,” when they were getting eliminated was adorable :>

Also, I was genuinely shocked when Cabby just kind of, insulted Lightbulb. I literally had to pause the episode and take it in. Like, goodness. Cabby really thought she’d support Paintbrush by doing that? Really? Pretty much insulting their friend? I was really hoping their alliance would last but it really didn’t.

Speaking of Cabby, looks like she also now has an arc. Apparently, she thinks of herself as a forgetful person and has to write things down to remember. It was actually quite heartbreaking to see her put The Floor into a container but then “realize” that she didn’t complete the challenge at all but instead was spoon-fed the solution. It was nice to see her and Floor have a small moment though :]

Maybe she’ll change. I don’t know what exactly but maybe she’ll stop using her files as much. Maybe Cabby will see the show as just a fun thing to be in instead of seeing it as something to solve, figure out, and beat. Maybe she’ll start having legitimate friends instead of having people join her alliance to further herself into the game. Who knows, only time can tell.

The part where Bot figures out what to be called and their pronouns was just, so adorable and amazing and just akskhahdjkshkh

Honestly, it was just so sweet to see them realize that they can choose who they want to be and still be themselves. And the look on Paintbrush too when Bot decided who they wanted to be ^^

Anyways, I think those are all my thoughts on the new episode. It was really silly yet also sad to watch. I am looking forward to seeing The Floor as the new assistant though! Let’s hope they don’t get too mistreated like Toilet :>

Thoughts on I.I.I 13

Ah I was late to this one, I’ll admit and I don’t really have much to say but that’s okay.

[Spoilers as usual]

I really liked Cabby in this episode. I was kind of expecting her to stay quiet this time around due to everything that has happened in the past, I thought she would try to not interact lest she causes another rivalry or calamity of sorts. Glad that she was able to pull herself up though and get her, and Yin-Yang, out of elimination.

Ah and the Nickel and Balloon friendship breakup. The amount of people I’ve read saying that their friendship kind of felt out of the blue got to me so I wasn’t really surprised by this. I didn’t call it but I wasn’t shocked too much. Again playing like episode 13 again, if we had a Fantube divorce in s2, I guess we just had our Nickloon divorce in s3. Funny how things repeat itself.

Nothing much to say about Silver Spoon and Candle I’ll be honest. Their alliance is an interesting one. Just like what Silver said, formed an alliance then flipped sides only to flip sides again (I know that isn’t quite what he said). I liked their little interaction when Candle was eliminated though, I wonder what Silver was going to say.

Bot’s redesign was pretty neat. Like a butterfly which I liked. I can understand why they didn’t want to vote out Paintbrush but alliances are alliances and unless they don’t communicate, you kind of have to stick with them until the end.

All in all, that’s all I have to say. It was a good episode and I liked the development of Cabby in the episode. I’m expecting some Nickloon divorce jokes after this episode.
