Finale!

[state-of-franklin]

Still not over when Anakin said he hated Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan said he loved anakin that they both were admitting they weren’t perfect. Anakin screamed loudly enough for Obi to hear that he had let loose, that he wasn’t the Jedi that Obi-Wan hoped he would be. That he had trained him to be. This was is true and open admission to his fall, his acceptance of it, and defiance of the man he saw as what he should have been. Meanwhile, Obi Wan yells back he loved him. That he isn’t perfect. That the order couldn’t take away the fact that he cared for Anakin, like Qui Gon had taught him, but knew his duty. Obi Wan admitted his own recklessness, his despair at seeing yet another person he loved, die, and realizing he has to live with this new burden on his back for the rest of his life. They both needed each other desperately in those moments, but everything was too far gone by then. The rift was made, and they’re yelling across the chasm everything they never got to say face to face.

behold. my heir

uuuu lore ramble beneath read more ... kicks pebble

their lore isn't really set in stone but here's a bunch of little tidbit ideas

- they were the Ancestor's Final Atrocity, being an attempt to contain the very heart of darkness with a body made of flesh scraps sewn together (it uses the very thread that used to hold its body together in order to sort of mind control others it's smth i will explain later in the post)

- in a way it was successful in creating an imperfect reflection containing an offshoot of the hod intended to defeat the heart (fight fire with fire type deal)

- the letter was to give it instruction before the ancestor did something really funny

- it is the reason why dd is cyclical in nature because with every playthrough it becomes attached to the relationships and the hamlet and the people there and it knows that once it defeats itself there will be no reason for them to stay

- in a sense the Heir becomes attached to the hardships it watches them go through and since it's mostly organic material it develops emotion in a very flawed sense to the point of obsessing over the heroes

- every time the hod is defeated the heir gets consumed with this mental spiral that causes it to impulsively revive the hod and restart the cycle

- every reset also resets its own capacity to feel for the heroes and every time this happens they slowly fall back in love with them rinse repeat

- the teal(?) strings are my way of incorporating dd1's gameplay loop into the character. they act as puppet strings that allow the heir to sort of control a hero's rational thoughts which causes them to act a certain way without being aware they're being controlled by an outside force

- the heir can see the heroes' actions because it's an offshoot of the hod but it cant see everything everything because of the actual hod limiting its power

- they are heavily clothed because they dont want anybody to see its actual form (insecure baby)

- most of the time when they give instruction it's a written request, but in direct conversation it speaks directly to the mind and from an outside perspective it just looks like the hero is holding a one sided conversation but to the hero they think they're talking normally

- it very rarely speaks with its actual voice because it sounds like the overlap of every single creature used to build its physical body. including things that do not have vocal cords complex enough to support human speech so its actual voice is very difficult to listen to

more lore coming never
