Tear Jerker / Blackrock Chronicle

• Episodes 28 and 29 of Rythian's Tekkit series.
  • Also the Recap Episode. Let me tell you a story...
  • In the first episode of Rythian's next season, the castle has fallen into disrepair, and poor Rythian clearly sounds depressed.
  • Also, the silence that falls whenever he looks at something Zoey wrote is heartbreaking. In the fourth episode, he begins talking to himself, expressing his lack of trust in anyone and threatening to kill Duncan.
  • Season 2, Episode 5. Rythian comes upon the main computer to B.A.R.R.Y. just as Zoey types a message asking if he's there into it. They have a short conversation over Mush Net, and when Zoey says she has to go, Rythian says he has one more thing to tell her. He types 'i miss you', then erases it and replaces it with 'i need you' and erases that and replace it with 'i love you'. As soon as he sends the message, the computer overloads and explodes, without sending the message.
  • Season 2, Episode 17. It ends with Zoey crying out for Rythian seconds before the nuke goes off, unconsciously repeating the same thing he typed into Mushnet: I miss you/I need you. The bomb goes off before she can say I love you.
  • Rythian's entire Sanity Slip without Zoey is just heartbreaking.
• No matter how she acts Zoeya is clearly traumatised by her experiences. Something made painfully obvious with her unusually nervous reaction to gunfire and a Magical Crafting Table.
  Zoeya: Why's it not purple? I want it to be purple, I like purple, purple's safe.
  • Near the end of episode 4, Rythian has to tell Zoey not to get her hopes up about Blackrock, because she's convinced herself that Fishton will be sitting on a chair in their living room, because she thinks that Blackrock is perfectly intact.
  • Also, there's something sad about Ravs' reaction to seeing Rythian and Zoey again - he's convinced that they "died months ago" (referring to the nuke) and when he first sees Rythian, he asks "Am I hallucinating you again?" Also, when they first spot him, he's playing the lever game by himself. Something about that is saddening. It doesn't last long however.
    • Look at the placement of the cobwebs. It's in places that he's last seen his friends, and likely where he's been hallucinating them; Teep's chair across from the lever is most noticeably unused.
    • Zoeya's reaction to the Blackrock crater. She's obviously guilt tripping like crazy about her role in the building's destruction while Rythian tries desperately to simulate a reassuring hug. Minecraft Avatars have never seemed to limiting before.
