”don’t be mad at Jorge about the stream cancelling” BRO THIS IS SO FUNNY I COULD NEVER BE ANGRY, THE ODYSSEY MUSICAL BEING AFFECTED BY A STORM? Beautiful
subscribing to a fic isn’t enough I need the author to blast a bat signal into the night sky whenever they update
a bright heart
I think the reason I like writing Faith fanfic over any other fandom is just because of how open ended the game can be. Every single choice can play a factor in how John is characterized. From the successful ability to save everyone vs the inability to even save yourself to even the simplest choices like Lisa or Garcia can affect who John is as a person. So yes, the exhausted pathetic wet dog of a man in "In Astaroth's Name, Amen", the sniveling coward feeling sorry for himself and completely helpless to his own misery in "Father Ward, Curse His Soul" and the snarky father trying his absolute goddamn best not to murder his husband in "Nuclear Family" are all the same John Ward. All because of a few slightly different choices
I think what I love/hate most about the Arcane ending is that everyone got what they needed but not what they wanted.
Jinx needed to end the cycle, she’s been wishing someone could finish the job the whole series, she just didn’t want to go out a hero.
Echo needed to be a savior to help his people, he just thought it would be as a leader and not as a soldier.
Mel needed to prove herself as a Medarda, she just never wanted the acarne skills or the cost of her mother.
Jayce and Viktor in beautiful turn needed to be seen and understood. They found their own truths and destiny in each other, yet it destroyed them.
Vi needed family. She wanted the family she had back, instead she’s given closure for her loses and the chance to build a new one with a person she loves.
Caitlyn needed respect. She got it, but she now understands just how much it costs and just how heavy that crown is.
All of their endings satisfy exactly what they’ve wanted this whole show, just in a way none of them wanted.
