Thinking about the morning crew. How they are all so smart when separate; Tubbo is book-smart, Fit is street-smart, and Pac is people-smart. But when they come together they are so hilariously stupid.
But it's not that they don't lend anything to each other, because while their intelligence may take a backseat, their empathy takes a front seat, and they all express it in different ways.
Fit is the grounding point for Pac and Tubbo. He's sturdy and sure, he's a rock, and he shows his care for them by being there to keep them safe and rein them in when needed. He is the hardest to move; the least outwardly affected by grievance, and can almost always be relied upon to think clearly under pressure. As a victim of a horrifically unstable past, he shows his love by keeping others stable.
Tubbo is a large part of Fit and Pac's motivations. Young and new, he hasn't seen nearly as much of the horrors of the island that the other two have, nor does he have a traumatic past (as far as he knows). He's the driving force behind most of their crazy schemes and plots because he has a zest for the world that the other two have lost. His energy is contagious, and he shows his love by allowing the other two to be young and naïve and free again.
Pac is a safe place for Fit and Tubbo. He's the heart, the emotional core of the morning crew, always there to lift the other two up; be it through genuine comfort, gentle lighthearted teasing, or a bit of flirting here and there (looking at Fit). He will always put others before himself, even when it detriments him, and with Fit and Tubbo it's no different; he'll go out of his way to see them happy time and time again. He'd take a knife to the gut to see the people he cared about smile, and shows his love by doing so.
And they still all help each other out of these habits when they become an issue: Fit will be reminded that bottling up his feelings isn't good for him, Tubbo will be warned when he's putting himself in danger and checked in on when things go wrong, Pac will be firmly reminded of how important he is, how much he matters, and that he doesn't have to sacrifice himself for others every time.
Everyone always talks about how the morning crew's smarts completely vanish when they're together, but never about the fact that their empathy and care completely soar.
