hey, just a fun little pattern I noticed in Secret Life...
Impulse keeps failing his tasks in the exact same ways he fails to win a season. He has a plan, he executes it pretty well, but is always brought down by another person screwing him over. Always so close, and yet somehow out of reach.
The first task he failed? He completed it, only to spill his secret to Tango right after. And Tango did nothing to stop him. He won, but couldn't go all the way.
The second task? He completed it, only for Skizz to call him out on it and sink the entire operation. He did it, and yet he still got nothing out of all that effort.
Compare this to all his final deaths in the series.
In 3rd Life, he was on a good path to victory, only for Bdubs to infamously kill him.
In Last Life he may have died way earlier but it has a similar pattern. He releases the Wither without getting hurt himself, and with a loyal ally behind him. Only to be shot by Scott who shouldn't have been able to kill him as a yellow name because Impulse wasn't specifically attacking him. A sort of betrayal by the rules of the universe.
In Double Life, he came third and was in a 2 on 1 fight against Pearl. Only to die because Bdubs axed him and dealt too much damage to them both to survive Pearl's attack. Betrayed by Bdubs yet again.
And finally, in Limited Life he came second, the closest ever to victory. He could have won that season, if he and Scott hadn't been betrayed by Martyn. So close, yet so far away.
Impulse's biggest enemy really is himself around other people. He just loses brain cells by the second. That, or the Watchers really like seeing this one man be betrayed, intentionally or not, over and over again.

”You can’t believe it, you can’t conceive it
And you can’t touch me, ‘cause I’m untouchable
And I know you hate it, and you can’t take it
You’ll never break me
‘Cause I’m Unbreakable.”

so i didn't get my job. my boss and my would-have-been boss brought me into their office today and said i did really well in the interview, the job was mine, until the last person really blew them away. i have to understand, she's really incredible, and i'll be so impressed with her when she starts next week. and it's important to remember, they really want to hang onto me because it's hard to find good people, and next time a role comes up i should apply for it because that might be the one! i'm a valued member of the team, i shouldn't lose hope. but of course with an extra permanent person on the team there won't be as many casual hours going anymore, just an unfortunate side effect of choosing someone over me. and don't worry, they'll announce it to everyone in the all staff meeting tomorrow that i'm not invited to so when i walk in at 9am everyone will know i was only second-best.
