Long story short, I was animating and like an idiot ran out of computer storage midway through animating. I ended up exporting and closing the project but of course it didnt let me.

Its not just the fact that I lost 2 hours of progress that pissed me off but the file storage is still around the same as it would be if it hadnt corrupted (30kb from around the 8 ish seconds of animatio i added. was 29kb before) and even symbols I had created within the last few minutes were intact but the project file itself is unable to properly load itself. Is there a way to recover the data still stored in the file?

Were they made in another software or just done with tricks?

(Practically unproofread but I thought it was entertaining so I’ll post it here!)

>was an abusive host!

He hadn’t done anything that hasn’t been done by someone else. Trapping people in the EXIT, literally not even that bad compared to any LOL variant.

>His character arc is contradictory! Why would he kill them if he’s a fan of the show?

Did we not watch the same BFDI? death is a constant in the series and people constantly kill eachother and shrug it off (blocky killing ice cube, bubble constantly being popped, etc.) but of course four would just randomly kill prople because he’d assume it was something you could just do to the contestants without repercussions. (Especially with the newer BFDIA episodes.)

-likely not this deep but if you wanna overanalyze it you can theorize four had developed a paradoxical relationship-

>he’s inconsistent from tpot 20 to BFB 1

He’s lived in isolation for the past 8 years being a surpreme being above everything around him only being accompanied by a passive companion that wouldn’t dare to oppose him in any way, of course he’s not gonna be as humane

>his character shifts suddenly

No. The contrast between pre-split  bfb and post split bfb in terms of personality is literally just something stemmed from a lack of media literacy, rewatching the series even just once emphasizes how it’s not just a sudden shift. Episode 1, he only recovers the contestants as a sort of show off. Episode 2, he literally need a crowd of people for him to recover ONE person and turns the rest into a challenge. After this four gets trapped inside of donut but eventually escapes and after this is a drastic change in personality. In BFB 10 at 4:48 shortly after getting out you can see he pretty much recovers an entire group without hesitation and is overall much more friendlier to the contestants afterwards. This friendliness stems from the power imbalance from his perspective lessening causing him to become a lot more humane which is a pattern we will continue to see. Four after this kills much less frequently as he no longer sees the contestants as lower being but something alot more competent though he still holds a position of power.

And then there’s the split where Fours power, everything he’d friended on ended up dissapearing as another figure with just as much power enters. Some people call Four whiny in this scene but that’s because he’s stuck. He learned from earlier in the season that unnecessary cruelty can cause the contestants to turn on him but without them there’s not much he can do against two. Of course in post split he’s seen as whiny because despite being easily able to he’s stopping himself from just using his powers to command everyone to do what he wants but dosent know how to communicate any other way because as mentioned before he had been above everything for so long he literally dosent know how to do things any other way. Hes overly nice but will randomly switch to being violent and cruel for short times is because while he is the same character he’s trying to change as he dosent want to lose what’s left of his show, it obviously means a lot to him and hes more clingy of it because he no longer has the security of “well if something happens I can easily just fix it.”but despite his efforts he still gets his show taken anyway so he just leaves. People say he dosent deserve his redemption but he has not don’t anything cruel that isn’t regular in the show and accepting it with others but villainizing four for it is simply double standards.

>why didn’t four just kill pencil

The entire reason pencil is like this is due to Fours reckless use of power. Four at this point tries talking to pencil because his character has DEVELOPED to a point where he’s confident solve conflicts without excessive use of power which is why four even when his energy is being drained tries to reason with pencil
