i must confess that i absolutely devoured the seven/avina pov within the first 10 mins of its drop but i didn’t even read blake’s yet 
I truly do not gaf about them but seeing the reactions for it make me want to get into it today.
Also really liked these lines for some reason
10/10 recommend, Blake is hilarious because they are a weirdass blend of being actually quite good at reading people and having a complete lack of self awareness somehow 
That’s not really weird, tbh. People are quite notorious about turning blind eye on their own issues even if they can recognize them in others.
I don’t think Blake completely lacks self-awareness. If you choose to be more mature about Blake and Seven’s sniping, Blake thinks to himself that he should leave it alone but then doesn’t because it amuses him. So he knows he’s being an immature ass, but decides to do it anyway. I can kinda relate to it, honestly. That moment when you know you should keep your mouth shut because it’s the mature thing to do, but you’re like, “fuck it, I wanna do this!”.
You’re right. Maybe self awareness is not the right word but for example they consider Seven pathetic for how obsessed they are about MC and how they can’t handle being near them, then turn around and keep talking about how G has so much power over them and how they can’t stand being near them or they go crazy. Not to mention when they complain about MC trying to break some tension with a joke when they literally did the same twenty seconds earlier and it fell flat (with Rowan) 
After reading those povs, Avina wants to be “checking each other’s bowels” level so bad bro 
But fr their pushing and lack of boundaries cause that’s what “best friends do” is definitely going to be a pain in the future.
And I think them saying “don’t have to be a bad person to be bad for someone” in their pov is definitely foreshadowing to themselves being bad for Seven, not MC. They’re pretty unhinged. Parasocial level.
Frankly it’s terrifying. It’s fucking Misery level. These two clowns sleep together and are glued together 24/7 and for A is still not enough. No. They need to be linked telepathically.
I’d run for the hills if someone would keep asking and asking, how do you feel, what do you feel, why do you feel that.
No fr. I think it’s even getting to Seven. I was pretty neutral on them but after that pov, they’re pretty flawed too.
I can just tell already they’re not going to be neutral or chill about MC and Seven getting cozy again. The whole “protective” friend would be normal but because they’re like that…we know their execution is going to be borderline suffocating/overbearing.
When they said they were tempted to call 7’s mom whom they have no relationship with to help, smh. Sounded like they were about to tattletale when I read that.
Bro has no boundaries and can’t stop getting themselves involved in things they have no right to be in, help and fix are seriously getting blended with them.
Lowkey praying on their downfall because it’s equal opportunity. Everyone has to suffer in this trainwreck lol
Winning the contest will be a walk in the park, compared trying to make A. distance themselves from seven and viceversa.
Everyone has to suffer in this trainwreck lol
You sounds like the writer tbh.
I seriously wonder how much they truly “get” each other and how much is out of convenience, especially for 7. Avina and Seven both know they don’t know Seven as much as they claim to. Seven literally says Avina can’t hold a flame to MC in that aspect, so it’s kind of like an ick when Avina goes off on their high horse saying they do and “I did that” type thing.
In one aspect, they are perfect for another. They are both desilusional. 7 that he is so over MC, promise, despite not being able to be around them without saying or doing something stupid (the eyefucking on stage), and miss misery in thinking if they push the right buttons, the magical combination, seven mind will crack open, will forget MC and they will live happily ever after.
I don’t think Avina is that bad, but I think the disconnect in their perception of the friendship vs. Seven’s is juicy. I don’t think they’re parasocial and obsessive, because Seven does reciprocate their affection, if not with the mutual vulnerability that you’d want or expect from such a close friend — the problem is that they don’t realize the extent to which Seven is holding back. Avina knows they’re not getting all the information, but they still think they’re getting half the picture and in all actuality are getting maybe one-fifth of it.
I’m reminded of that moment in the staged scene POV when Avina is talking about how they probably looked awkward on camera and Seven was, like, “no, you always look great,” but was too busy focused on MC’s retreating figure to pay any significant attention to Avina. And Avina was still so happy about the compliment. Like, my child in Christ…
To be fair to Avina, they never really say or even think a single bad word about MC. Also honestly I haven’t seen them comparing their relationship with Seven to MC’s with them so far, mostly because they couldn’t even if they wanted to, as they know next to nothing about it since Seven is very tight lipped about it. They just know it was bad. Which it was 
I may be forgetting something though
Weren’t they talking about how they get when Seven is upset? Since that’s directly after “they don’t think they just move”? They can’t help but wanting to help. Not in general all they think about 24/7 is Seven. Wait did I read that wrong?
I don’t think they do it maliciously, but I do think they have some opinions their head. The not bad person, bad for someone, when they were analyzing Seven and Mc’s relationship despite knowing nothing and insinuating Mc being controlling (and doing the exact same or even actually being controlling? Like forcing them to talk to them and getting butt hurt when they don’t?)
HELP you’re kind of right No but really I think from what I’ve understood Seven was doing much better before BOTB and they were getting over the bad stuff. It’s being next to MC and their former band, being on TV, and trying to keep the thing with their mom private that’s doing their head in. I think that’s also why Avina is pretty surprised by how Seven is acting.
They for sure were doing better without the whole competition but I don’t know if they were that much better. In the drabbles and povs, it sounds like Seven is still pretty much a sad person, just not as sad? Like how they said Seven has days where they’re like clouded or something. Their need to help instinct been going crazy since meeting Seven. Avina = emotional support person, taken with Seven everywhere
Oh, there’s definitely a bit of idolatry going on there. You can see it in the way they can’t let anything be partly Seven’s fault, even in their innermost thoughts. In some roundabout way, it has to be MC even though, depending on how you play it, MC isn’t really entertaining Seven’s theatrics. Seven is the one obsessing over them, and that’s not something that can be blamed on MC after three years and near zero contact.
And to be fair, Seven wants Avina to be their best friend, but the closest they can manage is saying Avina is their “closest friend” which, y’know. That’s definitely similar! It’s certainly an approximation, even interchangeable in most instances, but Avina has been completely open and honest with Seven, in a way they never have been with anyone else (which def. fuels the intensity of their feelings), and Seven hasn’t necessarily given that full energy in return.
Avina is on Seven’s booty all the time, though I wonder why they are so secure about seven?
There’s nothing wrong with it, but there’s probably more context to it that we don’t see.
Blake’s POV was somewhat interesting. I liked how they were clocking Seven every chance they had in their thoughts and how accurate it was. I suppose they would know how to read someone they’ve essentially met before: themselves. Ironically, Blake doesn’t appear to consider themselves to be childish, but they do have childish tendencies, criticizing everyone and assuming that they’re better at this lifestyle than everyone else. The sentence that I found most interesting in this POV was “People will do you dirty the second they have the chance. Money and fame are the two most powerful things in the world. It doesn’t bring out the worst in people—it shows you who they are.”
If we take what Blake is thinking and apply it to Seven, it truly makes me wonder if Seven had some minor and subconscious internal resentment towards the MC prior to the vote and separation. According to the game, fans preferred the MC’s voice, and it’s reasonable to assume that Seven was aware of some of those comments.
Also, what I gathered from Blake’s POV is that they don’t have any respect for Seven because Seven reminds them of themselves when they were younger, wore their emotions on their faces, and had trouble controlling their emotions. Which, if true, I’m speculating, is understandable. The most emotion that Blake shows outwardly is to provoke others or get the truth out into the open; otherwise, they seem to have control over showing how they genuinely feel and put on a performance. I can understand not respecting someone who may remind you of yourself; you’re the same age, but this person still hasn’t learned emotional control. Instead, they serve as a continual reminder of who you once were. That’s just my interpretation of what I read.
Seven/Avina’s POV wasn’t what I expected. I didn’t anticipate Seven to be like the MC when it came to pleasing others. Aside from that, their friendship is definitely unbalanced and not reciprocal on both sides, especially concerning the stage of their relationship. Seven’s people-pleasing encourages Avina’s behavior and gives them the impression that there’s more to it, when in reality Seven either doesn’t mean it or is doing anything to ignore how they still feel about the MC. It’s all very disingenuous and solidifies my perception of Seven using Avina as a distraction to get over the MC, but it’s not working. I can’t fully determine if they’re aware of what they’re doing or if it’s subconscious.
Avina’s POV is very strange, and they appear to be in need of therapy. Avina claims to know Seven and be their best friend, but they also downplay the roles that the MC and now Blake have in Seven’s life. This is strange since they’re obsessed with Seven, but they don’t seem to comprehend (or want to understand) why Seven is intrigued with and pulled towards the MC. They’re doing the same thing that Seven is doing. Which leads more credence to the statement made by Amy, “Avina is Seven’s Seven.” Seven’s desire for space to deal with their own emotions hurts Avina, indicating that they likely lack boundaries. Additionally, their clinginess further supports this observation. Regarding Avina’s history, they need to learn to let others wallow in their own pain sometimes and give people space.
Avina is so focused on what they want from Seven and from their relationship that they disregard what Seven may desire. They want to be a good friend (and obviously more), but not at the expense of their individual desires pertaining to Seven. Another strange moment was Avina not understanding why Seven is closed off. They were told what transpired between Seven, MC, and the band from Seven’s POV, which paints the MC and their band in a negative light. They’ve been burned once, and they’re hoping not to be burned again. It’s not complicated, but because Avina has no personal connections or emotions to what transpired between Seven and the band, I suppose it’s difficult for them to really comprehend, especially if they believe they’re a better friend or potential lover than the MC.
The drama at home is Seven’s disagreement with Lucy, which is most likely over their father. When their father is involved, they appear to argue and hate their mother. I find it fascinating that Avina feels the secret will make people like Seven more. What would encourage people to like Seven more that involves their mother and father? Did Lucy only contact our mother because she’s fighting with Seven? I don’t think Lucy is sick anymore, but the secret doesn’t appear to be as horrifying as Seven feels. However, what Seven finds awful, Avina finds excellent, and in my opinion, they’re both unreliable narrators.
Theory: Lucy sought help from Seven’s father, which led to an argument and caused Seven to resent their mother. Maybe Lucy was in debt and needed money, but the only person she could approach who had the funds was Seven’s father, which resulted in the father getting involved in their lives again. It’s possible that Avina thinks others would like Seven more out of compassion for their circumstances. They did tell Seven to appeal to Blake’s good nature; if they had one, this would be along the same lines of thought as making people like Seven more.
Rowan’s point of view wasn’t particularly engaging to me, but it intrigued my curiosity about a friend with benefits relationship with Rowan. I wouldn’t mind if we could do that with Rowan to create a comparison between what we had with Seven in terms of friendship and affection. During the parallel, it would be interesting to see if the MC can prevent themselves from falling down the rabbit hole of turning their longtime friend into a lover, either by ending it before they both become too attached or by having that relationship in a healthy manner and learning what they did wrong in the relationship with Seven. If you choose, you can strengthen the relationship and turn it into something meaningful. I would find that interesting.
