Love it! Murder, mayhem, mini heads. Your interaction with Lelila was so fun and inspiring.

Oo, not telling Le about the shards... Hmmm...

[@eloquentornot]

"Buckle up... your shoes" lol! Teal Disco is out of teal dye lol "Kill a player wearing their head" "bye" LOL even seeing that the second time, just the immediate leaving! XD Not telling Lee about getting the shards back... did the Witness tell Teal to keep it quiet? I guess there was the whole "not talking about it" thing... Pigstep for GPK! :D Lol BlazeFish getting the multiverse conventions he's part of mixed up! I just remembered, wasn't DiscoDuck used as part of EWF's excuse for being late to the season because FishCon was more of a party with him or something? Might have only been in Welder's videos iirc. lol also I wonder if DiscoDuck looks like the avian version you got the body of that one time, although that was more like a chicken... Something about Blue Fish telling BlazeFish about EWF, EWF not being the bad thing that could happen with the shards... GPK figuring out instantly that Teal has the shards back but not why he's keeping them a secret... have the multiverse-knowing people considered that Teal could be choosing to trust the Witness or whatever's going on there? Lol "we're not going to talk about" if GPK has any other heads in his bag but they're just mob heads! (although, withers and endermen seem to be in the lore that Kyp had...) GPK had the final shard the whole time!!! Lol earlier when you were like "wait he only had three shards? makes sense..." "If the Witness is still involved, then these shards are going to be very important to... let's just say the survival of the world?" IF the Witness is STILL involved? Hm... What can the Witness specifically do that means the shards are needed to save the world? Or is this a multiversal signifier or something, with how the Order has their own world hopping stuff also mentioned in this episode? If any Witness is acting odd in a world, that world's shards are needed? But this also sounds more specific than that... the Witness was the one who told Teal to gather the shards to make the Ember, right? And wants to change the world somehow, iirc maybe? So is it actually that the Witness needs to get the power of the shards to do something good after all??? Teal Disco needs saving from having got too into everything, and has to be given the shard at the right moment where it'll snap him out of it with the power of friendship rather than just give him the final part needed for the Ember's bad ending I guess????? Can't talk about what might be broken if it doesn't go well... but have already implied the world is at stake... how much more? Multiverse? What kinds of stories and connections between worlds could happen if... idk lol...???? :D Or, wait, is it that even if his trust is restored, it still breaks things? Enabling the Ember's completion in a risky situation is actually worth it to restore Teal's friendships??? Maybe something like... he's not expecting to get it, and is upset, and maybe the magic responds to and amplifies emotions and if he takes it by force it'd make an angry Ember of destruction, but if she trusts him at that dramatic moment, it breaks the tension, and even when the Ember is still completed and maybe used for big things, in the end the power of friendship saves the day? (The real Shards were the friends we made along the way, uniting into the most powerful Ember of all, the Magic of Friendship!!! lol) BlazeFish forwarded the sos messages to Shark because of a DnD moment in BlazeCon? So is that talking about the Blaze version of Shark? lol Bruno... Blaze Red? Evil Red? BurnedWinterRoses? RedWitherRoses? RedFireRoses? :D? So, this is leading to the final confrontation of the season... why do I feel like the bad guys win and the destruction of the world leads into starting anew for next season? lol A rodent in the new village? Interesting... Wait, GPK travelling the multiverse "doesn't sound like a great thing"??????? That could imply a whole new perspective on ALL of this??? Is he damaging worlds by exploring them? Making things more complicated by seeing patterns in how things happen and assuming he knows by now what's best for a timeline??? Not actually as wise as he thinks he is??? Implying it's a BAD thing that GPK learned from the Fish how to do multiverse stuff... maybe that's just about this one traveller potentially messing things up, but what if there's also something bad about the whole Fishverse situation? They're using tech to manipulate worlds and let impossible things happen, and EWF was able to make big problems with all that... although EWF also had extra tech from his time with the Nightmare King, too, right? Or was that just the mind stuff, I can't remember now? The Order of the Witness have their own multiverse stuff... and they might not all be good, like maybe EWF and the Herobrine Witness going to work for the Nightmare King were exceptions, but... what if NK was an evil Witness too, gone too far into technology to reach into other worlds via dreams etc and eventually wanting power over the worlds and... if the Ember has so much power, and it's destroyed other timelines before, but GPK still chose to give the final shard... because the Witness is involved? I feel like I'm missing something... It might have been better to just not mess with multiverses at all, but the fact that there are bad guys who can means that there should be heroes who can... but the Fishverse and Blazeverse just use their powers for gathering together to party where they shouldn't be physically able to, it sounds like... and maybe they do protect some things, but... after a certain point, does it get too complicated for the universes to keep up? And what caused the weirdness in time, for Cor from before season 1 to show up? 1984 Fishcon world... in the past the whole time somehow bending time backwards around it in curves maybe somehow? Or... what if... 1984... the famous dystopia story? Is that relevant here somehow maybe????? (...and you heard a rat in the village? (I haven't read 1984 but have heard bits and pieces about it)) Or maybe all this multiverse travel... is damaging the world, but not in the direction one might assume? Timelines? Time and space and reality, all made of the same stuff, things possible that shouldn't be, time itself not quite fitting together, dreams bleeding over into physical transportation, nightmares becoming real (all the withers that time in the ancient past maybe??? as well as NK?) and dreams coming true, what if the multiverse travel and teams of variations of the same person and all that fun and chaos is only possible because the world of the Edge of reality is destined to cause a break in time, giving the shard is necessary because the Ember will destroy the way things should have been, but in doing so, already has, and GPK and BlazeFish are just trying to minimise the damage (physically? or just emotionally for Teal??) along the way, but whatever might have been the "intended" path of the universes was already destroyed in a future that peeled everything back to try again and the only way to sustain what they built in the beautiful, incomprehensible, precious wreckage is to ensure that disaster happens more or less the same, looping around forever and maybe everything happens differently the first few times but eventually the loop is stable, a new universe of multiverses built on top of the only magic strong enough to sustain both the paradoxes and the worlds of people at stake... and the Witness, glitchy old Herobrine with too many memories maybe, could be seen as a villain or a hero, whether he's trying to turn things back to how they were in the "normal" universes or perpetuate this cycle to save those who now exist, depending on your perspective of it all... idk lol maybe all that brief implication of slightly negative judgement meant was that GPK should have stayed at home to take care of the piglins lol Looking forward to seeing what happens next! :D
