Hold on I need to be mentally ill about Veterans Duo for a minute here.

When I was rewatching Phil's lore from Birdhouse to the end of the Ender King Possession Arc, I realized that every single time. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Something happens, Fit is the FIRST person Phil confides in.

He does it when he tells him about the Birdhouse.

He does it when Rose makes her first appearance in the back of Lullah's garden.

He does it when Ender King makes his first appearance with the amethyst in the bunker and the whole setup in Missa's shark tank. Fit is the first and only non-egg he name-drops Ender King to.

Not part of the lore I'm talking about, but he does it when he checks the bunker during the Election Banquet to see that Chayanne & Lullah are at home sleeping like he told them to be, thus confirming the Chayanne & Lullah at the Banquet are imposters. Fit is the first person he shows the picture of the real ones sleeping.

And every fucking time, Fit unconditionally believes him, drops everything he's doing to find Phil and listen to him and reassure him. Every time Phil apologizes or downplays his own distress, Fit rebuffs and insists he's right and it's okay and what he's feeling is real, at least to him, and that's important. Phil isn't burdening him.

When Phil tells him about the Birdhouse? He believes him. When they see if the Birdhouse is still where it should be and it's not? Fit still believes him. He says he's not the type to hallucinate and make things up.

When Rose's flowers and horse skull portrait are gone when Phil brings him and Pac back there to see it? Fit still believes him. He even says Phil wouldn't lie about something like this. An almost exact repeat of what he said about the Birdhouse.

When it becomes apparent that only Phil could see the amethyst and other items from Ender King, and when they disappear completely? Fit believes him. And he doesn't question or downplay anything to do with Ender King. He accepts what Phil is saying, period.

The trust between them is SO STRONG. The fact that Phil is very much the type you have to twist his arm to make him confess what's stressing him out because he chronically tries to shoulder it all himself to avoid burdening anyone because he's insistent that he has to be strong enough to handle things on his own (something deeply rooted in him due to his Hardcore nature). And yet. Without fail, he will confide in Fit immediately. And without fail, Fit comes running, listens fully, validates it all, and promises to do what he can to help.

Veterans Duo makes me fucking insane man.

It's been a year and qsmp has long passed, but I still find something to love about lore that happened there. It might be obvious, but I am once again here to praise Phil and Fit for their amazing writing.

I think what I love the most about their lores is how they both incorporated their play styles which made lore™ segments feel more natural. Recently I picked up a habit of watching Phil's recent hardcore streams and yeah, he does love collecting ores and rare stuff, going as far as to preserve seemingly unimportant rose that spawned in a cave. And Phil in 2023,I'm sure, was the same and he was well aware of this habits. Thus he implemented it into his lore, not even needing to act most of the time. Let me remind you the whole code monster plot originally started because Phil stole rare and forbidden stuff out of a dungeon. This is the greed they talk about in Bible/j And later, when he decided he wanted to do lore, he already had an amazing set up for the Ender King possession arc. This is genius and simply lovely.

Now to Fit. Even 2 years later I'm still convinced that his lore is one of the most overlooked one out there despite being amazing. Admittedly, I haven't watched a lot of his 2b2t vids and found out about him through qsmp, but I think my point will still stand. I remember writing about it back in the day, but his cinematic about his first meeting with Madagio is filled with body language that I'm sure he had in 2b2t. You can't just run around mindlessly, you have to be careful, to really chose your step wisely. And this kind of caution is again, very VERY natural for Fit. Even before starting his lore he appeared to be very careful of who and what he tells. He was always prepared to play along and cause chaos, but he always was careful about revealing important stuff willy-nilly. Later, he found his own very small circle of people ge trusted with almost everything: Ramon, Phil, Pac and Tubbo. Again, this combination of chaos and caution always felt very natural to me.

I wish we could've seen Fit tell Phil about Madagio and his past, but it is what it is I guess

Yeah, Robby posted about veterans duo again.. Fork found in kitchen lmao

happy fat fuck friday! rejoice, up-to-interpretation veteransduo fluff fic of phil post q1 regaining the weight he lost during purgatory and fit being a good friend about it.

1.3k words, locked to combat ai scraping. sorry!

im not formatting this shit properly i have a convention i have to get ready for

Drag Path (TØP) reminds me of Philza and Fit.

Whenever the ‘devil’ or ‘devil’s eyes’ is mentioned, i see it correlate to one of three things. Cucurucho, Madiago, or Ender King. Whoever’s perspective you see it from.

“I dug my heels into the gravel, as evidence for you to unravel.” This could imply either of them. But, boots, such as Fit’s, dig into the gravel. Guess who collects evidence? Unravels it? Studies and collects as much as physically possible? Philza. And, a man like Fit would be smart enough to drag his heels in gravel. Knowing that, Phil would catch on. That Phil would inspect and know it’s him. Only Philza would know it’s him.

“When i see the devil’s eyes, i’ll look away, and smile wide. You found me. Cause then I’ll know you’re also there. Cause proof is in the adversare. You found me.” They always find each-other. Philza and Fit always cross paths. They find each-other. No matter what. They find each-other without trying. (@isa-ghost has made a whole fic about this, which, i suggest you read. (hi isa sorry for @‘ing you but the people need to know)) They are drawn to eachother. They are drawn to find eachother.

“Would you.. please, please hurry?” This could mean Phil or Fit asking for help. Crying out for the other. Maybe it could mean Phil crying out for Fit to save him from Cucurucho or the Enderking’s hands. Or, It’s Fit crying for help from Cucurucho or Madiago’s grasp, perhaps? Or; maybe, you can see it in Purgatory’s eyes. Phil crying for Fit to hurry. Or; Vice versa. (Fit, however doesn’t cry. So; he’d shout.)

“A drag path, etched in the surface. As evidence, i left there on purpose. A sad sack, laying on the surface.” Fit drags his heels. Making a path only Phil would know to follow. Philza would be the only one to ever know to follow. Fit would only ever trust Philza to follow.

“Can you find me?” This can go either way. This can be Philza saying; that when he’s possessed, deep inside, can Fit find the real him? Can he find him? Or, perhaps, Phil’s motionless body. (After Enderking endeavors). Can Fit find him there?

Or perhaps, in purgatory when Philza loses himself, Can Fit find him? Can Fit find the real him? Can Fit find him?

Or, It can be Fit saying, “Can you find me?” While he is being held in Madiago’s grasp. Can Phil find out? Can Phil find him? Will they cross paths in 2b2t?

Can either of them find each-other?

- yes. They can. They always do. That’s the secret. That’s why they’re so special. They find each-other. No matter if accidental or purposeful.

I’ll reiterate things, and touch where I haven’t, or go over more things.

“A sad sack, laying on the surface.” This can imply Phil’s dead bodies in Purgatory. This can imply Fit’s own (rarer) dead bodies. A sad sack, if I know correct, is usually a body in a bag. So, it fits well for Phil more.

Philza *is* the sad sack on the surface. Can Fit find him? Can he? Yes. He can.

“I dug my heels into the gravel, as evidence for you to unravel.” Can also be Phil digging his own heels, and Fit following. Fit also is a man who collects evidence and inspects it. (Me saying Phil does this first, is a reference to the Eggs going missing. He was quick to instantly gogogogo and get evidence.)

Phil drags his heels. Fit follows. He unravels it. (REFERENCE: Fit asks Phil about the ender on his shoulders. Fit knows something is off. He knows something is up. He unravels it bit by bit. He follows the evidence.)

“Can you find me? (Can you find me?)”

Both of them want to know the answer to that question. Will they be able to find each-other? Will they meet again? Will they be able to find the other in places of emergency?

In a way, I see them as asking eachother the same question. “Can you find me?” The question seems like it can be easily answered. “Yes, I can.” But, it isn’t an easy answer.

Can he find him? Can he find the other? That’s your true question. When one is hidden away. With no way to get to them or find them, can they find the other? When they are off the radar. When they are hidden from all life itself.

“Can you find me?”

But, they both know the answer. Yes. They can. They always do. They. Always. Do.

They both can mean any lyric. You can see it from every perspective.

“And then the sun begins to rise. We made it through the darkest night. You found me.” Phil and Fit finally being able to hug eachother. Being able to chat. This can mean both out of character, and in character. Perhaps, after QSMP purgatory. Or, maybe, after everything was said and done, and they could just smile. After everything, after every tragedy, every battle; every fail or mishap,

They never left each-other. They always found each-other. They found each-other.

They made it through the darkest nights. Purgatory, losing the eggs, the island switch, the Ender King saga—Etc.

They made it.

And, in my eyes, They’re soulmates. Whether you view it as platonic or romantic. They are CANON soulmates to me; your honor!

I hope this makes sense. Take my sleepy rambling. I believe this took me…. Thirty minutes to write. As I am ending at exactly… 2am!
