“Pyro’s family was abusive” definitely IS Correct and honestly explains a lot of things however. We cannot let Blue Guy escape unscathed. He is responsible for AT LEAST 70% of pyro’s issues lets be so fr rn. Girl probably had a fragile mental state coming into Oakhurst but Scott was the person who took a sledgehammer to it!!!
Wow i sure hope. Reblog if you believe in scaring ccs away from their own fandoms!!!!
Super fun moment from Shelby’s finale.
————
Scott: I—I worry about our likelihoods of getting out of this, Shelby
Shelby: Mm. Me too.
Scott: I mean, you’re fine. You can turn into a human now. Pyro’s gone.
Shelby: Oh. I didn’t even—I really actually didn’t even think about that. But what about you?
Scott: I don’t think—Well, I mean I don’t think me turning into a human end well*. I’m not sure what happens to a body that 1400+ years old when it’s mortal
Shelby: Mm.

He’s positioning them as a unit, a team. “Our likelihoods.” He recognizes that Shelby could probably turn back into a human and get out of the situation completely free. But he’s incredibly worried about himself, (although he’ll never admit it) so he ties his well-being to hers in order to make her more likely to stay and help him. Fun culty manipulator shit** lmao. but also:
I think Scott’s extreme paranoia is something that goes very understated when discussing his character. His manipulation is a core part of how he interacts with others, he’s downright abusive at times, etc. But it’s especially interesting when you look at where exactly this manipulation stems from. In a meta sense, it’s extremely apparent when looking at actual CC Scott’s reaction to people calling his vsmp character an abuser. (Like here) He needs to control the narrative at all times in order to present himself as Literally Nice*** because he is afraid of people seeing him as evil. Kind of embarrassing actually (not committing to the bit is loser behavior btw). This realllyyy bleeds through into his character—he’s Doing All That (manipulator shit) because he’s legitimately scared that people are going to kill him! Still, he needs to act like he’s cool and unbothered™ forever and ever.
The moral of the story is Scott Goldsmith is an absolute loser who needs everyone around him to think that he’s Good because he KNOWS that otherwise he might have to deal with the repercussions of being Evil. And he’s terrified of that. We should all point and laugh. Actually maybe we should scream and be tortured for the rest of eternity because he fucking got away with it.
Whatever. im sure this has all been said before. Level 1 Scott analysis.

* - mochi lorefulgood if you’re reading this is this the weird Scott grammar thing that he does. I feel like you’ve talked about this a lot.
** - Little does Scott know, he doesn’t need to do this at ALL. He could be like “yeah ive been manipulating you this entire time” and Shelby would say “but is it realllyyyy manipulating if I wanted to be your best friend slash daughter. We’re best friends right.” And he’d be like “actually no you’re right. We are best friends. Let’s frolick off into the sunset together ❤️”
*** - second mochi mention. Kind of embarrassing actually
Talking to a pair of roommates: “So who’s the one who built a heirarchal system around yourself in order to fuel your obsessive need for power & presents yourself to the other as the cool dad/gay best friend in order to keep them in line and who’s the one who does the other’s emotional labor & justifies their actions by warping your perception of this system through the lens of a family?”
when Cleo is mean to apo its kind of hot actually. But when sausage is mean to apo we need to kill this guy slowly and painfully.
We’re not talking enough about how they don’t live with drift. Going from the fact that Shelby thought seeing her at the market was notable enough to mention to Scott, I’d say shubbledrift sees eachother like once every two weeks??? That’s horrible!!!! Leave him!!!!
"I've never heard someone be the perpetrator and then claim victim so much" SCOTT GOLDSMITH WHEN I FUCKING GET U
Shelby I love you but your strange mind is so hard to defend in literally any exploration of post-canon. Like yeah dump him !!! But also who set this system family up 🤨
