Alpaca finally finding a sweetheart in BonziBUDDY after over 20 episodes of her struggling with relationships and drugs. After he gets evicted, the same goes for Walrus.
Vinny feeling bad for Walrus, after Two Faced dumped him for Donkey Kong. He gave him a sausage to cheer him up, and also gave him a new apartment.
His old life was built from a relationship that ended just as swiftly, which caused his life's foundation came crashing down on him. But the sausage represented a new keystone, a new foundation in which he can rebuild his life up. A connection that brings two formerly bitter rivals together. A sausage... to begin anew.
After Vinny deleted BonziBUDDY, Walrus stepped in to act as a father for Levi. Although, Levi doesn't appreciate the change until Alpaca and Walrus got married and he showed up to their wedding, clearly accepting of his new father.
Sponge, despite having a very dull and flat-toned voice when speaking, sings in an expressive baritone, which is surprisingly easy on the ears. His song, "The Ballad of Sponge", is all about his rejection by everyone else, but his hope that one day, 'maybe I'll find my fame'. Double heartwarming when you realize thanks to all of this, Sponge is probably one of Vinny's most popular original characters. He did find his fame.
After Sponge gets a rather brutal rejection from Alpaca (she doesn't bother to show up), Vinny cheers him up by giving him his favorite food. Later, while caring for Pretzel, Vinny admits he really likes Sponge.
In the following stream, Vinny plays Sponge's song near the end, and allows him to get his applause instead of interrupting it.
Episode 50 shows that Sponge has become the island's spokesperson, and moreover this exchange:
Sponge: I strive to be a good person. Vinny: You are a good person, Sponge, you know that? You're a lovely person.
Amidst the changes brought about in episode 49, a game of Quirky Questions asks Jack & Jill, Alpaca, and Karl if they're afraid of the end. They're not.
The 50th episode could be seen as this, just knowing that Vineland Island is saved, Vinny is no longer under Jahn control, and the islanders that survived assimilation can live peaceful lives again. In fact, the 50th episode brings about the following heartwarming moments:
Vinesauce and Cling On finding love, and Vinny being okay with it, especially after the former losing Balegdah to the Jahns, and the latter breaking up with Small Face.
Jahn #2/Lumber Jahn starting a new life, putting behind the negative associations with his race.
Wario's return, albeit a little bit messed-up in the head, could be seen as this for Waluigi, provided they are in fact, brothers.
Several comments on how Episode 50 serves as a turning point for the destiny of Vineland Island's residents.The first Well, this is one no one could have predicted. After the build-up of the last few episodes, I think everyone was expecting this episode to feature the epic battle between the Jahns and the remaining villagers. However, we arrived on the island to find Vinny already out of the mind control, apparently with no memory of what happened in the last two episodes. I have to hand it to the writers: I don't think anyone could have predicted Mulder and Scully from The X-Files showing up to resolve the conflict off-screen. Though it may seem like a bit of an anti-climax to some, it perfectly sets the scene for the true tone of this episode: a more retrospective, emotional season finale. In regards to the Jahn Invasion, we got some rather hilarious exposition as to why they were there, as well as an assurance that everything is now okay (apparently it was only Captain Jahn who was controlling Vinny). And at least we have assurance that Wario is still alive, if perhaps a bit out of it at the moment. The scene where Vinesauce finally asks Cling On out is a beautiful conclusion to the romantic arc of the season. After all these months going after Two Faced, Vinesauce can finally find happiness in the girl who's had his back almost since the beginning. Having Jjjjjjesus turn up to try to steal Vinesauce's girl was hilarious, and Bowser's appearance was rather fitting. There were also some other emotional moments: we got a few moments to mourn the characters who fell during the Jahn invasion, and Vinny's final narration about the future of the island was genuinely moving. The episode also featured a four-part song between Vinesauce, Vlinny, Sponge, and the new character Vineschnoz, showcasing how far we've come. On that note, we got some intriguing notes about the future of the series. Vlinny seems to have officially become Vinny's rival, and he has officially been selected as the character who will be sent to space. There is also potential in seeing where the romance between Vinesauce and Cling On goes, how Hailey deals with the loss of her friend Levi, the intriguing mystery of Clown Lady's "locked" memories, and Lumberjahn's attempts to integrate himself into human society. Perhaps most intriguing, however, is the introduction of Vineschnoz, who previously appeared only briefly on the corrupted Vineland Island. I must say, his appearance in the real world is rather worrying, and I am eager to see what precisely it means.The second It's amazing how perfectly everything went, This was like an actual 50-part TV series. Vinny had every part of a story nailed down to a tee. There was the introduction of the characters. The acclimatisation of the viewers to the Vineland world.The emotional attachment of viewers to the game world through: Romances, Breakups, Real-time events, Childbirth, social/physical interaction between Vinny and the Miis. All characters were developed slowly until there was a real connection, with the only standout being Vinesauce who, as the protagonist, received slightly more attention.There was love and loss for the protagonist in his trials to become involved with Two-Faced. A gradual buildup of tension and conspiracy as events took a turn for the serious with the Jahn invasion. And a climactic final episode in which the Jahn invasion was prevented and Vinesauce became romantically involved with the fan-favourite Cling On, the island's true sweetheart all along. We found a new friend in Lumberjahn, who represents the atonement of his people for the damage they caused. While new friends were made, old friends were also lost, but they live on in the memories of Vineland's citizens, revered for their sacrifice in surviving the Jahn onslaught. ("Jahnslaught", if you will.) Faced with everything that has happened, the Vineland citizens have grown and matured into a community that no longer needs a God to survive, and rather than opt for deletion in the face of Vinny's imminent disappearance, they have embraced their first chance at independence, and are willing to tackle their own problems and solve their own conflicts. They are, however, not blind to the crucial role that their God Vinny has played in their growth both as a community and individuals — as a sign of gratitude, they have insisted that he still visit from time to time.The chief antagonist, Vlinny, has returned to his old, harmless self, as he feels the Jahn's corrupting influence leave his mind.In a TV series, the final image would be Vinesauce and Cling On, embracing on the beach, basking in the warm, tender glow of the setting sun as our final episode of this wild adventure on Vineland Island draws to a close. The screen would slowly fade to black, as the following words appear on-screen: My friends, the streams may be over, the adventure may have drawn to a close, and our sun may be setting, but the future of Vineland... looks brighter than ever.
In Episode 54, Alpaca and Walrus decide to have a baby. They do in Episode 55, the series finale.
From the David Bowie special, we have Walrus saying that Jocelyn will always be his little baby. It goes to show just how much he values his family (particularly after all that he's been through).
After Jocelyn grows up, she tells Vinny he's been a good friend to her family, despite all they've been through (particularly Vinny's past mistreatment of Walrus).
During the David Bowie special, Sponge lost Bowie, his best friend. This created a ton of sad fan art, but things began to look up when Sponge got together with Clown Lady.
This becomes even more heartwarming when you realise that the whole reason why Sponge is friends with Clown is because Clown is dead, and Sponge's depression-absorbing powers mean that he can see spirits of deceased islanders. Maybe Sponge isn't without his best friend, after all...]
Southbird's European game test is mostly just humorous, but two moments with Cling On manage to be heartwarming. First, when she's first visited, Southbird makes her happy by rubbing her head. Later, Southbird is sifting through the apartments and spots Cling On shivering in her apartment. What does he do? Immediately gives her an outfit with a sweater, which she loves.
