The Reunion Of Pac And Cellbit A Few Days Ago Was Exactly As I Expected. An Anticlimactic Ending To A

The reunion of Pac and Cellbit a few days ago was exactly as I expected. An anticlimactic ending to a months old conflict. Which maintains both characters stagnant in terms of development, no new knowledge was gained in these past five/four months. However it seems that that sentiment wasn't really common, most people were just happy that they were ‘family’ again. ‘

Sometimes I feel that there is more interest in simply consuming the relationship between Cellbit and Pac, in a way that ‘saint-ifies’ Cellbit, than actually understanding what is going on and why. This makes Pac’s flaws exist in a vacuum, they are only allowed to exist and affect Pac’s actions when Cellbit and Pac are having a positive interaction. And it makes recollection of certain aspects of the story seem incredibly biased.

I definitely can’t see Pac and Cellbit’s ‘fervent family friendship” as much as seemingly other people do. Although Pac’s love, specifically familial love, for Cellbit is quite intense, as he is always missing him, wanting to help him and such and especially important he calls him family. Cellbit’s familiar love is completely nonexistent, (Romantic love is a completely different story as Cellbit did once imply he would be willing to cheat on Roier with Pac, but that was before Cellbit and Roier got together at all. And Cellbit did greet Pac by flirting with him at their last meeting.)  Cellbit seems to see Pac as more of a friend than a family member ( Need I remind you that the presence of a child within a group does not make a family?). This information gets quite clear when you decide to pay attention to how Cellbit titles his relationships, he always calls Roier, Richas and Pepito ( And I think Foolish and Jaiden as well but I cannot remember) his family, they even have their own clear, traditional family titles. Husband, Son, Son. The most recent example is his last stream, “No time is lost as long as it is spent with family” about them wasting time considering going to see a warden. I think he said once he sees bolas as a family but I don’t really have any proof of that beyond my own memory, and him non-jokingly calling Philza “Dad” during the tie-breakers in Purgatory. Cellbit has only called Pac his friend, he calls Pac his friend in the title of stream where he would save him from the Happy Pills, he calls Pac his friend when threatening to take Foolish’s access to the Ordem Theoritas if he continues to bother Pac and Mike. I’m not saying that Cellbit doesn’t care about the people whom he decides to title friend; The Regret Arc was done in order to save Felps, whom he titles as a friend ( A best friend however). But I do think that Pac is not that high on Cellbit’s hierarchy of importance.

I have my suspicions about their ‘clearly positive’ interactions. I sincerely do not know why Cellbit would call Pac queridinho when he feels proud of him. It's a nickname that carries such negative weight, it symbolizes power imbalance and it is used to cause intimidation. It makes me question if Cellbit reacting proudly to Pac's acts of independence are truly honest.

I think what I want to actually say is that although Cellbit and Pac's relationship is complex, I think people tend to cut it's rougher edges in order to create a more wholesome image.
