#i say “i'll call this crystalline kaleidoscope” and proceed to only refer to it as an acronym onwards

[wheucto]

new BFDIA episode out already??

spoilers and stuff below

kevin macleod??? the royalty-free music guy??? in MY bfdi?

they really out here killing every new host. how many hosts are we going to go through by the end of this season? is this how BFDIA gets canceled?

also! this... place. my first thought when i saw this was "hive" (since bug episode), but that might not be the case. it looks vaguely crystalline, which seems like the best description. it also reminded me of a kaleidoscope, though it's not centered on anything... i'll call it "Crystalline Kaleidoscope" for now. oh, and it has vaguely crystalline noises.

the sequence was presented inside the normal episode, but i don't think it happens concurrently with it. i think it happens after the episode, or like... after coiny dies or something.

originally, i thought the CK was pin's conciousness, and then like... an afterlife or something. we haven't seen any other afterlives other than the trash compactor one, but it could be like... literally anything. like this. i'm not so sure about that right now, but it does seems like a very possible outcome.

but, pin and coiny died by different manners (coiny dies by poison, pin died by mud). also, pin remembers the trash compactor afterlife, which might mean that she's dead in this sequence (and coiny is by extension, or being visited through ghost sheniganery). at the end of the sequence, it becomes brighter, which either means he's recovered or waking up.

i think the most likely outcomes for where CK is are either an afterlife or some sort of telepathy.

and in the end of this sequence, pin's plan is for coiny to send her and him to the trash compactor afterlife ("there's one place where i can be my whole self again!...far, far away...to get there we will have to get compacted [note: compacted is said in TTS]." (i.e. trash compactor afterlife)). in this place, she will have all the things taken away from her (face, limbs, size), even if she will look strange - so it makes sense she wants to be here. but... why does she remember this? no one else did.

perhaps it's because she's dead, and when you're dead, you can remember any previous afterlives. however, spongy seemed confused in bfdia 9 when he entered the TCA. though, he might have never died in this particular way before, so not remembering the TCA would be understandable. maybe, instead, she's not dead but not quite alive either, allowing her to access knowledge she should only have while dead but still being alive is some form.

also also, i don't see why she has to die in this particular way. if there are multiple afterlives, then this is just one of many. perhaps she only specifically remembers TCA for some reason? but if so, why? i suppose we'll only find out in the next episode.

anyways. the mysterious "they" she talks about is interesting. my first thought was the creators of the show, which is pretty meta, but it could be anyone. i get the feeling that the "they" mentioned here is more of a group, but "they" could be a singular person aswell.

alright that's all i want to say in this post. mostly about CK lol
