This. This is it. This is why no matter whatever duo comes along, Veterans will always be my number one favorite. Veterans, Wallflower duo, whatever name you wanna use.
They may not have been the types to see each other every day, but nearly every time they were both online, either Fit would go to Phil's or Phil would go to Fit's. They were always finding each other, always spending some time together even if it was just for a little bit before Fit had to leave, or Phil needed to get a quest done.
And as great as all of this is. Showing how close Phil and Fit were with the possession and hardcore lore arcs. I can't say I care about that nearly as much as every single time before it, or the other things that happened outside of it.
I didn't watch Fit, so I don't know who he told about his secret room, but a point that he made to do was to tell Phil about it. He gave him a timeframe that he would be asleep for, letting Phil know WHERE he was supposed to be, so if something happened to him, PHIL COULD KNOW AND HOPEFULLY FIND HIM.
I think some people forget this a lot because both the memory of Forever is sour, but also a lot was happening during the happy pills arc. People who look back on this typically remember that Phil worked with Bad and Cellbit to turn both Pac and Forever back to normal, and how bad the interaction between Pac and Fit felt.
But the most important part of that time for me is when Phil first learnt that this was happening. When Forever pulled him off to the side to talk to him, and Phil and Fit might have shared a look, there may have been a message I can't remember, but Fit spent that entire conversation sneaking around, being unseen but nearby and listening, so he could grasp the situation fully and so that he could be there to back Phil up if he needed to. All I can remember is Forever finally leaving, finally getting far enough away, and just the sound of Fit falling down from the tree and Phil asking him if he heard all of that.
Even more so, just a couple of days after the egg event STARTED. When the code monster, who we all called "God" at the time (I still do to be honest), launched after Phil, and he ran all the way back to spawn barely injured, and the second Fit was told what was going on, he didn't even think about consequences or anything. It was only "My friend is being attacked. God or not, I'm going to help him".
THEY GOT WARNED TO DO SOMETHING FOR GOD, AND THEN THEY WENT ON A FUCKING ADVENTURE WITH BADBOYHALO AND ALL OF THEIR CHILDREN
THATS NOT EVEN TOUCHING MOMENTS OUTSIDE OF QSMP. THEY WERE AT EACH OTHERS SIDES THE ENTIRE TIME DURING JSMP, AND THEY KEEP MEETING UP ANYTIME THEYRE BOTH ON THE REALM TOGETHER
But on qsmp specifically... Whether there are gods involved, whether they're going to rob materials from a plane, whether they're going on an adventure to rob some ships, fight off possession, sleep for week to find memories, find out how to save their friends, whatever.
No matter what, in the end, it's always them. Ride or die, but dying isn't something either of them are willing to do.
They know each other like the back of their own hands. A deadly combination, one that had to be separated forcefully in purgatory because they would have been too good together in a life or death match.
My favorite underrated duo of qsmp. The only other underrated group I think of all the time is Fit, Phil, and Bad, they can literally take up space in my brain for eternity, I do not care
