after reading all the comments, i just wanna say that i still believe what she’s doing is wrong, as she’s being too obsessive. i know she’s been stuck for 7 years but it doesn’t give her reason to be forcing them into her alliance. she was always mean, yes. but she’s way more jerk-ish and hard to watch (just my opinion). i still like pencil, but if she doesn’t change her approach to properly talk with book and icy, she’ll just continue becoming worse.
Yeah, i know that she was kind of hard to watch this episode but i think they're setting up some good character development for her, book and ice cube, that's why they're currently setting her up like this.
yes! that is the point! she is obsessive and needy towards book and ice cube because she has been without them for years and spent most of those years with david and bracelety, one of which can hardly communicate and the other of which is hyperfixated on one of her friends. this not painted as good behavior by the other characters in the show. book and ice cube want to stay away from her, price tag is actively keeping them away from her in tpot 14. pencil's also not that much meaner than before, recall that she calls ice cube garbage compared to match in... vomitaco, i believe? and kicks her from the alliance in insectophobe's nightmare 3 because she made an 'ugly face', which she reacts the same way to in bfdia 11 and tpot 14. reminder that ice cube is one of pencil's former friends, and pencil is desperately trying to get them back to friendship status. and she calls match needy in idfb 1, despite being way more needy in this episode. and she yells at ruby for pressing the wrong button in bfdia 5c, even though pressing the right button killed pencil. or how she refers to ruby and ice cube as bubble and match substitutes in bfdia 11, even though ruby's not even a substitute and she says she should value icy more in bfdia 6. think about it: if she acts this way towards people she cares about, then i see no reason why she would be any nicer to her enemies. pencil's just not a good person is the thing, expecting her to not be as rude as she is in tpot 14 is misreading her character
Bro if she’s been in the EXIT for 7 years, was opening doors for 4 years, and literally has no friends now, she’s definitely gonna go insane over her only ‘friends’ left Plus, who asked Price Tag? They’re just being annoying. (ok I changed it to ‘they’, please don’t hurt me)
Here's why I actually like this new Pencil, and my reasoning for her actions. She's been in the EXIT for *ALMOST 7 CANONICAL YEARS* and has not gotten to see her friends. I mean, Match was in there but they split up 4 years ago to do the whole escape Four thing, so it honestly makes sense why she's so obsessive over her old teammates. After all, Pencil has only gotten 1 episode with all the BFB debuters (though they probably got to know each other prior to BFB, but still, I don't think Pencil would be particularly fond of them). And she's put onto CloudYAY, which has GB (who she hates), who's competing with Donut for leadership, Pillow (who's just a murderer), and other characters that she doesn't know well. It makes sense that she'd be obsessive with getting back with her old friends and be so "mean" (which might be also her being competitive; Pencil has always been a very competitive contestant and being the first eliminated in BFB, she wouldn't want it to happen again). I think this whole new setup of her finally being out of the EXIT and not realizing her old teammates have moved on could prove to be interesting for her, considering Book and Icy never properly had a resolution, yet they both hate Pencil.
Pencils new personality, It’s probably because she made it and match didn’t, isolating her, she wants to cling on to book an ice cube to feel like she still has a friend in the game but that’s not the case
why are people acting like pencil's sadism is brand new, she has always been like this but now thanks to the exit it's more noticeable (and debatably worse)
This is the one thing I HATE about the community sometimes. Like, is every character in a show suppose to be a GREEN INNOCENT NICE AND NOT VIOLENT CHARACTER? Like, CloudyYay became my favorite team because of how much chaos and non-existant chemistry, they are in constant arugement but they always win because they still manage to pull through. Like, people just hate character growth, Match got out in BFB when she was clearly gonna have an arc about Bubble. Like people just hate mean characters, but it doesn't make sense since Flower won BFB. (Albeit, it was kinda rigged.)
The reason why pencil become obsessed with ice cube and book because she didn't see them for seven years she start to miss them after 4 years stack in the exit
I actually really like the direction this is going in, Pencil wanting to start freesmart again, but Icy and Book wanting to move on, making Pencil have kind of an exetensial(?) crisis or something like that. Could be an insanely interesting arc if done right.
Hear me out- my prediction is that Match, Bubble, and Ruby are gonna all become friends again, then Pencil will eventually realize the error in her ways somehow, then Bubble and Ruby will have to talk to Book and Icy to get them to give Pencil another chance. A side quest could be to have Book and Icy make up fully for events if BFB, but I doubt that because Book and Gaty had no parting words. Then in the finale of TPOT, Freesmart is a big group of friends again, however they are less toxic than in BFDIA!
Extreme disagree. It’s pretty clear to me that Pencil is very codependent on her alliance. She doesn’t say it, but she NEEDS her alliance. She’s always been the leader of such since day one. Being the leader of Freesmart is her identity. But then, she pushes them away by letting that power get to her head, eventually getting eliminated as her hubris. In the EXIT, we see that she’s DESPERATE to return to be with her alliance, but she fails. When Match is eliminated, she composes herself, and we see her take on the role as the leader of the EXITors. But once their mission to escape ends, she’s back to being alone. Now she’s in TPOT, where nobody from her alliance is competing besides the alternates she treated so poorly. It’s all she has, and she’ll try to get them back no matter what.
Thats why i love Pencil, people never let her be mean before shes eliminated... thats so annoying, she just needs time to set her mind, shes not used to be alone like that in the competition.
This is the first time we've seen the alliance together since pre-split, in canon chronology. Alongside the post-credits scene, it looks like we're getting an intriguing new Freesmart arc, and I'm absolutely here for it.
EXACTLY i voted for pencil to join because i wanted to see her do something like this with book and icy. i will say i wasnt expecting her to be this obsessive but it makes sense and i do like it. it wouldve been weirder if she never tried to get them back or if they accepted.
It’s called an arc bro. She’s gonna eventually either realise that what she’s doing is wrong and try to recover herself or one of them will point out what she’s doing and she’ll be fine. Just trust it
I think that she’s just gone insane over the exit, and tbh it’s kinda interesting. This isn’t really out of character, she’s always been more on the rude/mean side and after she basically lost everything she’s trying to cling on to her remaining relstionships. It’s not flat out unlikable its a cool twist to her character
i think it’s that after being trapped in the exit for 6 years, pencil just wanted things to go back to normal, and well.. freesmart is what makes her feel normal. she’s been so busy trying to bring that back, that she doesn’t realise that book and ice cube moved on and don’t want to associate themselves with freesmart anymore
Pencil was always a brat from the start though? What did you guys expect to get when she came back exactly? Plus she's been inside Four for so long there's no way she wouldn't have gotten at least a little crazy, makeing her worse, and she was always toxic and bossy as well, no wonder her ex friends have told her a thousand times they don't wanna have to do with her yet she ignores them.
Well, My theory is that Four sent the craziness and obsessive fumes to Pencil, and she smelled though them just the moment before the TPOT 13's Debut Ceremony.
Pencil is one competitive player, which leads to be like bossy and mean that she can extend to kill for at least her team to win, she was mean at the very beginning of BFDI. Being isolated for months or years absolutely throws your mental health, it’s obvious she missed her friends but probably the EXIT affected her too much to the point that she acts like her BFB 1 self and more of that, i do prefer she became her calmer and more leaderable person in TPOT 11, but this is what Pencil is, "mean" however, she is just highly competitive as I said.
i think you may be mischaracterizing pencil, since she was never an angel to begin with, and she still fits pretty much in character for me. besides, its a competition, so they have no time to be mr nice guy anyway. it also shows a new side of her and how she deals without having an alliance(not so good)
Pencil has been stuck In the exit for YEARS. She just wants to be friends with Icy and Book again, there was a large scene where their friendship got ruined in the events of BFDIA which we haven't seen yet, and we've seen that Pencil can get tired of Match as times. Besides, she's always been a "girly-girl" anyway, Cary even said so. Conclusion: Don't ever dare to diss my girl Pencil again, or there will be consequences.
Tbh i dont mind it,i feel like they did this to show what being in the exit for so long does to her,it also shows how desperate she is for an alliance/how much she misses the alliance
Gonna also say that her WHOLE character is being a “ brat “ ?? I have no idea what you expected honestly, yes I’d like a redemption but she’s a girly girl??? I really don’t think you should judge her for being BETTER than before. Of course we have our own opinions but if you don’t like her, don’t vote her to be safe. 🥰
Shes been stuck in a school for 7 whole years without seeing sunlight and shes never seen people other than the exitors and four in 7 years, you can sometimes see eyebags under her eyes because of how long shes been in a classroom for. Shes losing all of her sanity. Plus, I dont think she would remember something book said 7 years ago. Im not a pencil fan but its true.
Y’all forgot why she was eliminated in the first place, this is what you get. At least if it had been Match, she was going through a redemption arc before her elimination in BFB, so she would’ve probably ended up a little better than Pencil. Would’ve been a shame she would never see Bubble or Ruby again.
the writing has matured over the years, so how they wrote pencil back then will be way different from how she will be now. characterizing her from writing thats like about 6 years old is lame, and we should think about what changed with pencil compared to her bfb self
“In literature, the definition of character development is how the reader can observe the character changing step by step throughout the narrative. They can identify development by noticing how the character's traits change as the story progresses. The plot in the narrative plays a key role in character development.”
Honestly i dont see anything wrong with this they are clearly setting up an arc for her book and ice cube (maybe price tag) yes what shes doing is messed up she probably dosent realize that because of her 7 years in the exit i could go on but i dont want this comment to be long
She just wants her old friends back just like Pen, and also she inst mean, shes just competetive and is doing very well at being so. All they gotta do is to have an ACTUAL talk so we can actually see what they are thinking, im hoping that later on we can finally get all of freesmart together again and with this new episode it feels like it could actually happen 🥹 after 7 years..
I mean if they were to have book and ice cube think like people in real life might think, id say free-smart probably if it did come back would not have book and ice cube, people change and people move on
@@johndough7006 When you say " im hoping that later on we can finally get all of freesmart together again and with this new episode it feels like it could actually happen 🥹 after 7 years.. " It is happening in BFDIA
The reason people voted Pencil to join was because of how she acted in BFDIA, and people didn't take into account how she acted in BFB and in the EXIT.
Pencil is a character that has problems Because ever since freesmart formed in bfdia 5 All she wanted was to be with them And if anyone wanted to join freesmart They were denied Only contestants that were part of freesmart when freesmart was formed are her friends and she wants them to be their only friends Anyone else if either an acquaintance or an enemy Such as golfball, pencil can’t move on from her enemy golfball
Being trapped inside an infinite world, and also forced to do math for 7 years seems reasonable. Heck I'd go insane after half a year. All you have is Match and now she didn't even join
First of all, she has no friends, and you think she wont try to gain them back??? And also shes been in the EXIT for SEVEN. WHOLE. YEARS. Imagine if you were her, would you just be friendless? Its called an arc buddy.
@@shohamyayloldid you expect her not to be? book and ice cube are the only people she has a past with, you think she's not going to try and reconnect with them even though they hate her guts?
I can tell she tries to be? she can clearly tell they hate her, but she doesn’t do anything. Maybe make new friends instead being a maniac psychopath that clings onto people who hate her guts?
I don’t think she went insane, because liy is fine, in my opinion I think pencil just wants to get back with her alliance, but she can’t accept that book and ice cube moved on from freesmart
old bfb was unhinged af, and if you see what he was like in the one episode he was around for, you can definitely see this exact attitude. being a violent horrible person is unsurprising. due to this violence, nobody likes pencil, which makes her (i think idk i forgor don't get too heated over it) want to try and only make alliances with people she already knows, as alliances guarantee more success.
I respect ur opinion but let's be honest for a second, what would bracelety even do during her time on the show anyway. I feel like pencil joining tpot is a good way to wrap up the free-smart arc
@@C.K.RobbinsWrittenInInkLLC How?Like,that arc should be done like,a time ago for Book and Ice Cube,Bracelety didn't got a lot of time to prove herself,also Bracelety can make an arc with Ice cube.
The arc kinda just stopped on bfb 1 and we haven't seen book and ice cube intract with the pencil and match since, with this we can get an actuall conclusion
Pencil is my second favorite character I would do the same thing if I was locked in a room for 6 years she doesn’t have any friends yet and she’s very competitive I don’t mind her acting like this it probably won’t last for long people will probably vote her out the next time her team loses😒
@@Whitexsz People voted flower to come back in season 1 and then voted her out when she was up for elimination I know it was a while ago but it can still happen (hopefully not)
I don't think pencils been acting mean, more of being sassy and snarky. plus pencil might (just barely) have an arc about letting go of the past, but that's just my most likely wrong prediction. but honestly, I personally enjoy the way pencil has been acting in TPOT 14! also the video was really funny : )
She dont git no friends rn, and shes been in EXIT for almost 7 years, and she needs them I cant blame her if shes “obsessive” over her alliance, probably cause she needs them
This is why I’m glad I’m not the only one who hates pencil, she’s bratty, mean, and annoying. And not the entertaining funny kind like Lollipop ( my favorite character ) after 4 seasons of lessons and torture, she still hasn’t learned her lesson. Like match. And pencil being obsessed with Book and IC is what will make her leave immediately. At least Liy learned HER lesson.
I mean pencil has always had her alliance by her side match bubble ruby now that there gone I feel like that leads pencil to be more competitive in the exit she was like that because they all needed to work together now that there in a competition she can be competitive I do think she should just talk to book and ice cube but after being stuck in a room for 7 years spending years and years just opening door it would drive nearly anyone crazy
Fans being shocked when the mean character is back to being mean again. Ya'll wanted her and got her why are you surprised that she's still the same person 😭 also imagine disabling likes and dislikes bc you couldn't take criticism lmao
Fr also why is Liy suddenly like "OMGEH A DOOR!? YOU KNOW WHAT THAT REMINDS ME OF!? THE EXIT MY BEST MOMENT IN THE SERIES. OMG PLEASE APPRECIATE THE EXIT"
It’s so annoying how everybody wanted pencil back and the writer of tpot just make her annoying again.Like nobody would have voted for her if they didn’t start liking her so why would they even make her so likeable just to ruin her character AGAIN
I respect your opinion, but personally I understand how she's flawed. I still really much like her character, and obviously she's not gonna be the same Pencil as in BFDIA. I personally enjoy characters with flaws, since it makes them more interesting, and it could set up a good arc (if it isn't dragged on or cut off abruptly)
@@Sanjay.2133I 100% agree! I definitely don’t want this arc to be cut short like the puffball arc, that crap was cut short two times and then went nowhere. Justice for Fries 😔
I wish Dora or Bracelety would have joined TPOT Dora: She might survive a few eliminations and she placed 4th in the rejoin, also in BFB she was very helpful Bracelety: Ice Cube slightly frowned (instead of slightly smiling) when she got out in BFB 4, so potentially they would become friends
I think my biggest issue with this is that it came out of nowhere, she is acting nothing like her past self or in tpot 11. I would like it better if this insanity had a bit more buildup in tpot 11
she's "all of a sudden a filthy brat" because you're thinking of BFDIA Pencil who is Pencil from at least 8 years in the past of the BFDI timeline, Pencil has been a mean person since BFB 1 she hasn't changed you're just not seperating BFDIA and TPOT.
im gonna keep it real chief, this kinda blows. if you've not seen your friends for a long time, you wouldn't realize that they've moved on from you. not to mention, it wasn't just a day or two. it was 3 years.
She just keeps forcing Book and Ice Cube when they already moved on! Also, Match is better than Pencil now! And GB spoke facts in 1:40 ur a king for calling my girl a queen!
I think it’s to parallel the match storyline there setting up, both of them ended up burning bridges, and while match will try to organically repair them, pencil’s just pouring more gasoline on the fire and hoping for the best
Yea definitely. I think for Pencil- she’s not like this usually, I think that she acts the way she does simply because she’s in the competition. The competition may make people act a certain way (Almost like Inanimate Insanity, I guess) and this is why Match is shown to be less insane in the end credits than Pencil in this episode. I think Pencil does care abt old Freesmart members, she just is going about it terribly wrong. Also, the way she acts in the EXIT supports this even more. She was acting completely different in the EXIT than she is now. Now it’s weird because I can’t really think of another character to help support this, Pencil is really the only one, but maybe it’s all just in Pencil’s head that she needs to act differently because of the competition.
@@yes57373 I know, I’m trying to say that when match was originally having her arc she couldn’t finish it during the season because people voted her out. I think her conclusion was really nice but I definitely think it was meant to happen a lot sooner
as much as i dont like this portrayal of pencil, i do think its a very interesting way the writers are going with. i do like the contrast shown between pencil and match in tpot 14,, how match is shown to be hesitant to talk to her friends again while pencil is literally going all at it. i have horrible match and pencil brainrot so im just going to yap😭😭😭 its interesting to see pencil being so dependent on getting her alliance back when shes perfectly capable of doing challenges by herself. its also a little strange because she seems to get annoyed whenever match was with her (like too needy) or wants to hang out with her (like in the pointypointy episode… dont get me started… and idfb, and even in the exit when she joined a different group) - ITS JUST SO WEIRD TO ME! match is so loyal to pencil but pencil just takes that for granted and is going insane because she has no one who really likes her anymore (like anyone to depend on), sure many of the fans like her but I can’t think of many characters in the show who like her besides her alliance in the past (maybe ruby?? but they havent seen each other in YEARS same with bubble). Thats why shes so desperate to get her alliance back! AM I MAKING SENSE? I dont think I am but it ok😁 we can even see in her doodles in the exit that she constantly draws her alliance , she misses her time in bfdia with her buddies - when they were all besties - match is no where in her drawings.. only and ERASED doodle. i dont think pencil likes match very much or is embarrassed by her dependency on her. which is INTERESTING!!! Bc pencil is the one being needy now. IM SORRY THIS IS ALL YAP I LOVE TALKING ABOUT THESE TWO SM! as much as im a matchil shipper. its not a healthy ship.. toxic yuri or something🩷🩷🩷
I find the writing between both characters to be so confusing especially with pencil she is so inconsistent with her character like comparing tpot 11 pencil and tpot 14 pencil is completely different I still love her though
YES!!! I love her to!!! Shes so capable of doing things herself so this new direction for her is so weird, but to me its a little understandable? just the way theyre doing it doesnt make too much sense, BUT ITS OK!!! i just hope people say she didnt get derailed again bc i dont think she ever did, if that makes sense in any way😢😢 But for Match, I feel as if her writing isnt so confusing - but then again we havent seen much of her feelings towards bubble in FOREVER! we just know she felt really bad about it! her writing seems very consistent to me!!
after reading all the comments, i just wanna say that i still believe what she’s doing is wrong, as she’s being too obsessive.
i know she’s been stuck for 7 years but it doesn’t give her reason to be forcing them into her alliance.
she was always mean, yes. but she’s way more jerk-ish and hard to watch (just my opinion).
i still like pencil, but if she doesn’t change her approach to properly talk with book and icy, she’ll just continue becoming worse.
Yeah, i know that she was kind of hard to watch this episode but i think they're setting up some good character development for her, book and ice cube, that's why they're currently setting her up like this.
I miss flower s1 persona so yall c1nt even Handle pencil nor steve cobs not even Flower s1 nog even thropy ii like
yes! that is the point! she is obsessive and needy towards book and ice cube because she has been without them for years and spent most of those years with david and bracelety, one of which can hardly communicate and the other of which is hyperfixated on one of her friends. this not painted as good behavior by the other characters in the show. book and ice cube want to stay away from her, price tag is actively keeping them away from her in tpot 14.
pencil's also not that much meaner than before, recall that she calls ice cube garbage compared to match in... vomitaco, i believe? and kicks her from the alliance in insectophobe's nightmare 3 because she made an 'ugly face', which she reacts the same way to in bfdia 11 and tpot 14. reminder that ice cube is one of pencil's former friends, and pencil is desperately trying to get them back to friendship status. and she calls match needy in idfb 1, despite being way more needy in this episode. and she yells at ruby for pressing the wrong button in bfdia 5c, even though pressing the right button killed pencil. or how she refers to ruby and ice cube as bubble and match substitutes in bfdia 11, even though ruby's not even a substitute and she says she should value icy more in bfdia 6. think about it: if she acts this way towards people she cares about, then i see no reason why she would be any nicer to her enemies. pencil's just not a good person is the thing, expecting her to not be as rude as she is in tpot 14 is misreading her character
I think she's like this because she missed them so much she wanted to hang out with them
Just let the arc happen bro, no need to criticize pencil’s behavior until it’s over
Bro if she’s been in the EXIT for 7 years, was opening doors for 4 years, and literally has no friends now, she’s definitely gonna go insane over her only ‘friends’ left
Plus, who asked Price Tag? They’re just being annoying. (ok I changed it to ‘they’, please don’t hurt me)

Pencils new personality, It’s probably because she made it and match didn’t, isolating her, she wants to cling on to book an ice cube to feel like she still has a friend in the game but that’s not the case
This does not justify her actions but I’m just giving my two. Cents

she was trapped in the exit for years and yall think itd make more sense for her to just be completely unnafected? and not go insane from that? wild

Plus she's been inside Four for so long there's no way she wouldn't have gotten at least a little crazy, makeing her worse, and she was always toxic and bossy as well, no wonder her ex friends have told her a thousand times they don't wanna have to do with her yet she ignores them.
she doesnt have any friends.. she just wants some old friends kk?
shes always been mean and bratty. thats her personality
EXACTLY GOSH???
yeah but she doesnt always seem so forcing and crazy
she already knew book and icey was not in the alliance anymore
Well, My theory is that Four sent the craziness and obsessive fumes to Pencil, and she smelled though them just the moment before the TPOT 13's Debut Ceremony.
fym why is she so mean have you even watched the show?! it’s totally in character.
Pencil is one competitive player, which leads to be like bossy and mean that she can extend to kill for at least her team to win, she was mean at the very beginning of BFDI.
Being isolated for months or years absolutely throws your mental health, it’s obvious she missed her friends but probably the EXIT affected her too much to the point that she acts like her BFB 1 self and more of that, i do prefer she became her calmer and more leaderable person in TPOT 11, but this is what Pencil is, "mean" however, she is just highly competitive as I said.
0:58 murderer lookin ahh
bro look like bro will sold my soul and eight ounce of blood😭
i think you may be mischaracterizing pencil, since she was never an angel to begin with, and she still fits pretty much in character for me. besides, its a competition, so they have no time to be mr nice guy anyway. it also shows a new side of her and how she deals without having an alliance(not so good)
Pencil has been stuck In the exit for YEARS. She just wants to be friends with Icy and Book again, there was a large scene where their friendship got ruined in the events of BFDIA which we haven't seen yet, and we've seen that Pencil can get tired of Match as times. Besides, she's always been a "girly-girl" anyway, Cary even said so.
Conclusion: Don't ever dare to diss my girl Pencil again, or there will be consequences.
Nah, it’s fine. I’m just forced to play a part in tpot and act out scenes that can ruin my friendships and I’m losing sanity over it.
Tbh i dont mind it,i feel like they did this to show what being in the exit for so long does to her,it also shows how desperate she is for an alliance/how much she misses the alliance
tpot please continue down this path. she's so insane i love her
REAL.
Pencil literally has been inside of a number for like 7 years how do you except her to not be insane
exactly what i just now said-
Being violent and dangerous is good for your team, if you want to win.
Yall forgetting pencil was also mean back in bfdi. It’s not fully unexpected
Thats what being trapped for 7 years does to you
she's been trapped in eternal algebra for 6 years, what did you expect?
even though match isnt going insane it seems
match isn’t going insane cuz she was alone..
Also she’s stuck w bubble and ruby who actually like her
She wants the alliance back so much
But her personallity is making her crazy
It wasnt algebra she started lile this in bfb 1
Shes is trying too hard t but remember she’s been in the EXIT for 7 years,also she has no friends so she is very desperate
1:47 wtf you mean new ship unlocked 😭 he got choked once
She litteraly kills him in that scene the shippers should calm down
Shippers confuse me so much
Yep
Interaction = Ship
i just felt like shippers would see this as a ship HAHAHA
Bro am I weird for shipping marker and pencil
Gonna also say that her WHOLE character is being a “ brat “ ?? I have no idea what you expected honestly, yes I’d like a redemption but she’s a girly girl??? I really don’t think you should judge her for being BETTER than before. Of course we have our own opinions but if you don’t like her, don’t vote her to be safe. 🥰
(Crap just read ur comment so uh it kinda destroys some of my claims..)
her being a girl doesnt explain why shes so obsessed with icey and book
@@Flashylighterdo you even understand what they meant by saying “girly girl” in their sentence
@wubtasticallywubtastic maybe
@@Flashylighter oil up
Shes been stuck in a school for 7 whole years without seeing sunlight and shes never seen people other than the exitors and four in 7 years, you can sometimes see eyebags under her eyes because of how long shes been in a classroom for. Shes losing all of her sanity. Plus, I dont think she would remember something book said 7 years ago. Im not a pencil fan but its true.
Actually, Book said what she did 8 years ago now
@ilplolthereturn7525 bfb out 7 years ago it's 6 years before November 3
well liy went through the same thing and she didn’t go insane
@PaperMaskOnYT pencil was in the exit for longer
@@ilplolthereturn7525 only few mounts
Y’all forgot why she was eliminated in the first place, this is what you get. At least if it had been Match, she was going through a redemption arc before her elimination in BFB, so she would’ve probably ended up a little better than Pencil. Would’ve been a shame she would never see Bubble or Ruby again.
match did see ruby and bubble at the end of the episode
@ I’m saying that wouldn’t have happened if Match had been let into TPOT
the writing has matured over the years, so how they wrote pencil back then will be way different from how she will be now. characterizing her from writing thats like about 6 years old is lame, and we should think about what changed with pencil compared to her bfb self

Also pencil:Match was too needy

@@PuppySpark HHNGG- anyway.
Honestly i dont see anything wrong with this they are clearly setting up an arc for her book and ice cube (maybe price tag) yes what shes doing is messed up she probably dosent realize that because of her 7 years in the exit i could go on but i dont want this comment to be long
She just wants her old friends back just like Pen, and also she inst mean, shes just competetive and is doing very well at being so. All they gotta do is to have an ACTUAL talk so we can actually see what they are thinking, im hoping that later on we can finally get all of freesmart together again and with this new episode it feels like it could actually happen 🥹 after 7 years..

I mean if they were to have book and ice cube think like people in real life might think, id say free-smart probably if it did come back would not have book and ice cube, people change and people move on

It is happening in BFDIA
agreed, i hope she changes her approach and not force them to join her alliance
Being stuck in a class for 6/7 years doing math and opening doors and staying WITH MATCH, she has all the right to act like this
Match is so annoying
IM PRETTY SHE IS GETTING SET UP FOR AN (maybe redemption?) ARC
GIVE HER A CHANCE 😭
I like this Pencil, I hope they'll manage to become friends again at the end of the arc with Pencil learning to be kinder to her friends and alliance
Yes, I think Match, Bubble, and Ruby will play part in it too.
And that folks is why roboty is undeniably the best character in the Bfdi Cinematic Universe.
I deny that roboty is the best.
Firey better
The reason people voted Pencil to join was because of how she acted in BFDIA, and people didn't take into account how she acted in BFB and in the EXIT.
actually im pretty sure most people voted bc of how she acted in the exit
And guess what happened in Tpot 15
She nearly Thanos snapped the entire universe💀
@omarkn7506that was ones fault
@@LooeyDaBalloonstill her fault for not listening to golf ball
Pencil is a character that has problems
Because ever since freesmart formed in bfdia 5
All she wanted was to be with them
And if anyone wanted to join freesmart
They were denied
Only contestants that were part of freesmart when freesmart was formed are her friends and she wants them to be their only friends
Anyone else if either an acquaintance or an enemy
Such as golfball, pencil can’t move on from her enemy golfball
Being trapped inside an infinite world, and also forced to do math for 7 years seems reasonable. Heck I'd go insane after half a year. All you have is Match and now she didn't even join
Better yet match is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo annoying 😑
@@roofheadhow is she annoying? she already learnt a lot from bubble.
@@KNCcommenter shes sooooo annoying
@roofhead how so?

Pencil has pretty much tore her alliance apart and she's now trying to put it back together while on the verge of insanity.
Liy and the others being stuck for just as long as pencil: 🗿🗿
fair but liy isn't going through and arc, shes just fine, pencil was stuck and lost all of the people she knows
Honesty this made me like her even more I love how chaotic she was in this episode
First of all, she has no friends, and you think she wont try to gain them back??? And also shes been in the EXIT for SEVEN. WHOLE. YEARS. Imagine if you were her, would you just be friendless? Its called an arc buddy.
ok but she’s too clingy.. she never acted like this.
@@shohamyayloldid you expect her not to be? book and ice cube are the only people she has a past with, you think she's not going to try and reconnect with them even though they hate her guts?
I can tell she tries to be? she can clearly tell they hate her, but she doesn’t do anything. Maybe make new friends instead being a maniac psychopath that clings onto people who hate her guts?
1:41 Coin, Firey, Teardrop and Eraser slap fight
Why did they vote in pencil SHE BARELY KNOWS ANYONE. I think it wouldve been better to have duos of people join as two people joined anyway
I only agree with the fact that she knows nobody as when price tag called her “newbie” she was like “who even are YOU?”
Pencil went crazy after opening doors for 4 years
I don’t think she went insane, because liy is fine, in my opinion I think pencil just wants to get back with her alliance, but she can’t accept that book and ice cube moved on from freesmart
PENCIL I STILL LOVE YOU{i love insane evil women}
Me too
Me three
C'mon, Pencil and Lollipop should be enjoying their friend fall!
1:57 I’m pretty sure he’s not a child but it’s first degree murder
old bfb was unhinged af, and if you see what he was like in the one episode he was around for, you can definitely see this exact attitude. being a violent horrible person is unsurprising. due to this violence, nobody likes pencil, which makes her (i think idk i forgor don't get too heated over it) want to try and only make alliances with people she already knows, as alliances guarantee more success.
"He"
this is why bracelety should have joined tpot over pencil in my opinion
I respect ur opinion but let's be honest for a second, what would bracelety even do during her time on the show anyway. I feel like pencil joining tpot is a good way to wrap up the free-smart arc
@@C.K.RobbinsWrittenInInkLLC How?Like,that arc should be done like,a time ago for Book and Ice Cube,Bracelety didn't got a lot of time to prove herself,also Bracelety can make an arc with Ice cube.
The arc kinda just stopped on bfb 1 and we haven't seen book and ice cube intract with the pencil and match since, with this we can get an actuall conclusion
Man she's so desperate for that alliance that she would mess with time for it
i feel like she is going insane for being in the exit for too long and not having match...
0:25 I LOVE THIS PART.
pencil is best when shes a absolute menace, idk what your talking about
Pencil is my second favorite character I would do the same thing if I was locked in a room for 6 years she doesn’t have any friends yet and she’s very competitive I don’t mind her acting like this it probably won’t last for long people will probably vote her out the next time her team loses😒
Why would they vote pencil to rejoin and then just vote her out when they have the chance?
@@Whitexsz People voted flower to come back in season 1 and then voted her out when she was up for elimination I know it was a while ago but it can still happen (hopefully not)
I don't think pencils been acting mean, more of being sassy and snarky. plus pencil might (just barely) have an arc about letting go of the past, but that's just my most likely wrong prediction. but honestly, I personally enjoy the way pencil has been acting in TPOT 14!
also the video was really funny : )
She dont git no friends rn, and shes been in EXIT for almost 7 years, and she needs them
I cant blame her if shes “obsessive” over her alliance, probably cause she needs them
She had become dependent on Freesmart to the point of barely being able to function properly without it.
@ lol true, she needs the alliance for her mental stability
I mean of course she's gonna be really rude, isn't that a logical reaction to being imprisoned for 7 years?
OPs explanation is “i hate penciw she is wude an dey awe dewaiwing hew i dont wike it”
it’s not that deep lmao, i just don’t like how she’s making icy and book uncomfortable, and i still like her 😂😂
Bro, pencil has always been rude, have yall never watched bfdi/bfdia/bfb?
Meanwhile Liy after being imprisoned for 7 years: 🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
Well it's a good thing she still hasn't been up for elimination
This is why I’m glad I’m not the only one who hates pencil, she’s bratty, mean, and annoying. And not the entertaining funny kind like Lollipop ( my favorite character ) after 4 seasons of lessons and torture, she still hasn’t learned her lesson. Like match. And pencil being obsessed with Book and IC is what will make her leave immediately. At least Liy learned HER lesson.
1:53 ‘’this is child abuse’’ had me on The floor😭
It would have been but marker is not a child
Being childish ≠ being a child
@ uh okay.? I didn’t make the video, I just found it funny
@@BiggestRubyBfdiFan you don't have to have made the video to know that
@ uh okay?
I mean pencil has always had her alliance by her side match bubble ruby now that there gone I feel like that leads pencil to be more competitive in the exit she was like that because they all needed to work together now that there in a competition she can be competitive I do think she should just talk to book and ice cube but after being stuck in a room for 7 years spending years and years just opening door it would drive nearly anyone crazy
she needs medication to calm her down
gonna be honest I love pencil just the way she is I love her recent TPOT
I had a suspicion that pencil might be in danger, but I’m gonna have to hear it from more people
not a single member of this fanbase can perform proper character analysis. not a single one of you
Shame on you
Ur right
literally
That scene where they f*ck up GB's plan pisses me off 😭 like ya'll would have actually won really quickly if you actually listened to her
Fr The eight ball arc was bad
Now this donut arc is worse
At least winner somehow is immune to lava
but then we wouldnt have gotten those peak fight scenes at the end
Fans being shocked when the mean character is back to being mean again.
Ya'll wanted her and got her why are you surprised that she's still the same person 😭
also imagine disabling likes and dislikes bc you couldn't take criticism lmao
Fr also why is Liy suddenly like
"OMGEH A DOOR!? YOU KNOW WHAT THAT REMINDS ME OF!? THE EXIT MY BEST MOMENT IN THE SERIES. OMG PLEASE APPRECIATE THE EXIT"
sorry, i didn’t realise i didn’t enable likes. it should be on now
I kinda like her being crazy
i'm like 90% sure how she is acting is on purpose for her to get a redemption arc
It's not her fault it's technically four fault for locking her up in mental asylum
Yeah but she was that mean since bfdia 14
@@GameCoinFactoryNo
It’s so annoying how everybody wanted pencil back and the writer of tpot just make her annoying again.Like nobody would have voted for her if they didn’t start liking her so why would they even make her so likeable just to ruin her character AGAIN
I respect your opinion, but personally I understand how she's flawed. I still really much like her character, and obviously she's not gonna be the same Pencil as in BFDIA. I personally enjoy characters with flaws, since it makes them more interesting, and it could set up a good arc (if it isn't dragged on or cut off abruptly)
@@Sanjay.2133I 100% agree! I definitely don’t want this arc to be cut short like the puffball arc, that crap was cut short two times and then went nowhere.
Justice for Fries 😔
1:53 marker deserved better ngl
1:51 "child abuse???" yall I think this is ragebait
i was just tryna make the video fun, geez
I wish Dora or Bracelety would have joined TPOT
Dora:
She might survive a few eliminations and she placed 4th in the rejoin, also in BFB she was very helpful
Bracelety:
Ice Cube slightly frowned (instead of slightly smiling) when she got out in BFB 4, so potentially they would become friends
I agree, I think Dora is really underrated, it's sad that she didn't make it, but NOOOO, people want mentally unstable people
Pencil is turning crazy
I think my biggest issue with this is that it came out of nowhere, she is acting nothing like her past self or in tpot 11. I would like it better if this insanity had a bit more buildup in tpot 11
she's "all of a sudden a filthy brat" because you're thinking of BFDIA Pencil who is Pencil from at least 8 years in the past of the BFDI timeline, Pencil has been a mean person since BFB 1 she hasn't changed you're just not seperating BFDIA and TPOT.
very true, i hope she changes soon
Since? Pencil was mean since mid BFDI
Tpot 11?
She went insane.
im gonna keep it real chief, this kinda blows. if you've not seen your friends for a long time, you wouldn't realize that they've moved on from you. not to mention, it wasn't just a day or two. it was 3 years.
Wasn't even 3. It was 7 whole years
She just keeps forcing Book and Ice Cube when they already moved on! Also, Match is better than Pencil now! And GB spoke facts in 1:40 ur a king for calling my girl a queen!
yeah, because she didn't know that they moved on, because they've been separated for 3 years.
mean girl archetype is mean, surprising news
Honestly, I want them to come back together, but I think Pencil is just trying too hard
I think it’s to parallel the match storyline there setting up, both of them ended up burning bridges, and while match will try to organically repair them, pencil’s just pouring more gasoline on the fire and hoping for the best
Yea definitely. I think for Pencil- she’s not like this usually, I think that she acts the way she does simply because she’s in the competition. The competition may make people act a certain way (Almost like Inanimate Insanity, I guess) and this is why Match is shown to be less insane in the end credits than Pencil in this episode. I think Pencil does care abt old Freesmart members, she just is going about it terribly wrong. Also, the way she acts in the EXIT supports this even more. She was acting completely different in the EXIT than she is now.
Now it’s weird because I can’t really think of another character to help support this, Pencil is really the only one, but maybe it’s all just in Pencil’s head that she needs to act differently because of the competition.
Bad idea though, matches storyline got cut short because of that and I think repeating it will make the same thing happen
@@girlpower_gacha no not really..
@@girlpower_gacha have you seen the tpot 14 ending? Theres clearly something going on there
@@yes57373 I know, I’m trying to say that when match was originally having her arc she couldn’t finish it during the season because people voted her out. I think her conclusion was really nice but I definitely think it was meant to happen a lot sooner
as much as i dont like this portrayal of pencil, i do think its a very interesting way the writers are going with. i do like the contrast shown between pencil and match in tpot 14,, how match is shown to be hesitant to talk to her friends again while pencil is literally going all at it. i have horrible match and pencil brainrot so im just going to yap😭😭😭 its interesting to see pencil being so dependent on getting her alliance back when shes perfectly capable of doing challenges by herself. its also a little strange because she seems to get annoyed whenever match was with her (like too needy) or wants to hang out with her (like in the pointypointy episode… dont get me started… and idfb, and even in the exit when she joined a different group) - ITS JUST SO WEIRD TO ME! match is so loyal to pencil but pencil just takes that for granted and is going insane because she has no one who really likes her anymore (like anyone to depend on), sure many of the fans like her but I can’t think of many characters in the show who like her besides her alliance in the past (maybe ruby?? but they havent seen each other in YEARS same with bubble). Thats why shes so desperate to get her alliance back! AM I MAKING SENSE? I dont think I am but it ok😁 we can even see in her doodles in the exit that she constantly draws her alliance , she misses her time in bfdia with her buddies - when they were all besties - match is no where in her drawings.. only and ERASED doodle. i dont think pencil likes match very much or is embarrassed by her dependency on her. which is INTERESTING!!! Bc pencil is the one being needy now. IM SORRY THIS IS ALL YAP I LOVE TALKING ABOUT THESE TWO SM! as much as im a matchil shipper. its not a healthy ship.. toxic yuri or something🩷🩷🩷
I find the writing between both characters to be so confusing especially with pencil she is so inconsistent with her character like comparing tpot 11 pencil and tpot 14 pencil is completely different I still love her though
YES!!! I love her to!!! Shes so capable of doing things herself so this new direction for her is so weird, but to me its a little understandable? just the way theyre doing it doesnt make too much sense, BUT ITS OK!!! i just hope people say she didnt get derailed again bc i dont think she ever did, if that makes sense in any way😢😢 But for Match, I feel as if her writing isnt so confusing - but then again we havent seen much of her feelings towards bubble in FOREVER! we just know she felt really bad about it! her writing seems very consistent to me!!
