‘i just dont think hes as bad as people make him out to be’
thank you sm for providing the clips🙏 i am so deranged about extortionduo i wish they had more than a couple streams together
LITERALLY!!!! like just from their interactions in this stream its SO obvious theyre parallels of eachother with quackity especially seeing himself as tina. hes acting in his mind how hed 'want' to be treated or rather hes trying to force her into the corrupt habits that preveal in the smp. from the moment they meet he starts on getting her to work for free and then tries to set her up for president- not for the good but for the money and power. he makes her steal and blackmail bad and the moment she decides that this ISNT a good idea because she feels bad about him being upset. he throws a massive fit.
and the whole time during him preparing her for presidency and making the deal with bad shes holding a picture of schlatt that she occasionally looks back at. and of course hes doing this out of a misconstrued sense of help and self preservation. hes learned its BETTER to be corrupt and give up morals especially for weaker people like them.
and tina is everything he used to be. shes happy, new- naive- in the sense that she doesnt know how the server is actually run. and a mindset like that it dangerous because you get hurt. not to mention how she easily clicks with karl and sapnap, preferring to hang out at kinoko kingdom. so theres added resentment for that.
and im still in the process of going through tinas vods but for my current understanding theyre standing on the aftermath of war and violence. all the major battles have happened, history is history and shes joined a relatively peaceful country highly uninvolved with the greater smp. throughout it all she retains that softness, the kindess despite the circumstances. hmmm hmmmmmmm many many thoughts
(quackity talking to bad) ‘you know why? because you getting anything at all is like so easy for you but for tina to get like cool armor like that thats not as easy’
hmmm hmmmmm
'tina if you werent ready for this lifestyle of negotiating million dollar deals you shouldve said so.'
'we were EXTORTING him! we were BLACKMAILING him! you never said it would be blackmail, you said everything would be okay. that we would promise people no taxes.'
OUGH.
‘and tina being the next president i just wanted her to get the best deal possible. how is that a bad thing.’
STOP PROJECTING YOUR TRAUMA!!!!
quackity: theyve been doing business deals behind my back.
tina: HEY KARL. karl. karl you'll never believe it, you'll never believe it karl.
karl: what?
tina: quackitys gone mad.
bad: with power.
karl: i wont believe it?
tina: well maybe i dont know ive never- he seems so good yknow. he seems so good. he promised me great things, he said id be the president!
quackity: yea! and then you cut me out of a business deal that i put together.
tina: I DIDNT CUT YOU OUT! i said-
quackity: yes you did. yes you did. i put a business deal together that you cut me out of.
tina: it was a JOKE and you were EXTORTING someone. i would never cut you out.
quackity: YES FOR A BETTER DEAL FOR YOU. literally it was for a better deal for you. i had your best interests in mind and then you cut me out of the deal.

well i guess this conflict is the reason she doesnt join las nevadas lol i mean theyre uhhh idk how to say but like. inherently opposed figures. if that makes sense. id think quackity sees himself in her- naive optimism and a genuine want for change and decides that it needs to be beaten out immediately. by teaching her money means all, making her steal an extort from bad bc hes ‘weaker’ <- more lenient. and when she starts using what he taught her against him? he flips
