Okay, so the big moment is coming up.  Whila a bunch of us have been rooting for Oliver, destiny approaches.  Time to share a little truth from my perspective.

    Okay, we all know Oliver is gonna get shrunk.   We all know he’s gonna spend the rest of the story as “less.”  But if you are a fan of the character, keep in mind, no matter what his circumstance.  He didn’t lose.  
    First, in order to lose, you have to know you’re in conflict.  Any other circumstance is more like an assassination.  Do you say JFK “lost” to Oswald?  No.
    You know how you win a war?  The first step is declare fucking war!  If you take hostile action against someone with out them knowing you are hostile, you are an assassin, a murderer, something...you are not a winner and your victim is not a loser.
    Oliver has made mistakes.  That isn’t losing.
    Oh sure..the ‘Mega Cunts with their antisocial personality disorder laden brains will think “We won.”  But they lie to themselves better than they lie to men.  Ah, you say “he took the arm bands they came with a warning ‘belong to omega pi?’”  So the megs warned him and he still walked into their trap.
    Imagine a scenario.  I show you a picture of a house.  I say, “I will sell you a house just like this for $20,000.  Only one previous owner.”  The pic shows a brown and red house, with a nice porch.  On the back of the photo is written X square feet, X insulation...etc.  You say “Sure.” and give me the money.  I give you a copy of the photo.  “See,” I say, “just like this one.  Only one previous owner.”  You didn’t lose.  You were deceived. 
    I didn’t sell you a house, I sold you a photo: I lied.  The implied promise was I’d sell you a house with X sqft and X insulation.  It was the only term on the board.
     Now, keep in mind:the girls handing out the arm bands all “belong to omega pi.”  They aren’t being shrunk, humliated, tortured.  The aren’t having their lives destroyed.   The only terms on the board are their experiences of “belonging to Omega Pi” which are clearly benign.  What they are selling and what they are showing are two very different things.  In other words: they lie.
    Those of us who come from a rural area and have half a brain, might object that Duggernaut is treating Oliver like a “bumpkin”, but we all know the guy who is “smart, except when it comes to women.”  Oliver being that guy, does not make him a loser.  In fact, you could make an argument that Oliver is not that guy. 
    Oliver is a small town gentleman.  He as treated the ‘Megs as though they were honorable and worthy of trust and respect.  A mistake, but not his fault.  Do you suppose for one moment his so called mother ever said “Oliver, guard your self respect and dignity jealously?”  Ha!  Her supposed mothering was more like “playing house” when she wasn’t showing him off to her psycho friends.  He has no defense against that.  Especially when he’s being lied to and manipulated. 
    The base mistake he’s made is interacting with them like they were human.  These things are only shaped like beautiful women...inside...I’m not sure what they are....but it’s as ugly as it comes.   They may be human enough that they feel the need for justification....some “all men are guilty crap”....what has Oliver done compared to what they do?  Makes any justification they give themselves a great big, stinky lie.
    When Sersi grabs Oliver’s junk she’s telling him “I want you as a man.”  Could there be a bigger lie?  She grabs her own junk and tells herself she’s thinking of Oliver.  Un huh, what did she compare their victims to?  Oh yeah, a cigarette butt.  Can’t be both a cigarette butt and Oliver.   But, when you lie to others so easily...lying to  yourself is a breeze. 
    This, actually, illustrates one of the big lies the ‘Megs tell themselves; they are intimate with their victims.  It’s pretty  clear they are getting off on their victims pain and humiliation, the guys themselves are providing very little physical stimulation.   If it were otherwise, they wouldn’t need all those sex toys.  Look at Sersi’s fantasies about Oliver, all designed to humiliate him, not stimulate him.
    So, no matter how it goes, Oliver has not “lost.”  He’s been victimized, but that’s not the same thing.  For those of us who are rooting for Oliver, we know he’s not a loser and the ‘Mega’s lies and double entendres can’t make him one.   When some giant monster is pushing him around, he won’t be a loser then either.  Bullied, maybe, but not a loser. 

    I've described before how Duggernaut has created these fantastic good guys and bad guys for us.  And this is just to show that I'm still with Oliver all the way....Go Team Oliver!

Peace.

Alright then, it seems as if they may be a hint of dislike for the poor misunderstood young ladies of Omega Pi, a mere wisp of discontent. Let's see what the next few chapter holds and see if you're still of the same mind, tee hee...

Is Oliver finally putting it all together?  The Omega's special knockout beverage, that the two previous lucky recipients of three pink wrist bands have strangely disappeared.  When it came to naming a contact that he trusted the most, it wasn't his mother Oliver went with, it was Stan.  It should be interesting to see how he declines or pretends to drink the roofie juice during tonight’s special event.  I'd love to see him fake being unconscious so he can see what is really going on with these girls and their tributes as they begin to prep his body for the reaping...

Author's Response:

So soon. Yes he's trying to make some sense of it, but the reality is so far out of anything he could puzzle out. too little, too late? You shall see exactly what you ask for as the next chapter, oliver does indeed thwart the laced beverage... :)
