She's been waiting a long time for this.

(My absolute favorite commission from ImZeroAfterDark on Twitter!)

(Alternate facial expression for Deputy Hudson under the cut.)

Here's to hoping that posting this will give me motivation to finish the accompanying fic

Redrew Joey Hudson's tattoo because there wasn't a good version anywhere online

And my bestie @sledge-in-space needed it :3

Imma yap about john now.

If you haven't seen the post with Joseph about the backstory I'll tell ya again. Basically in this au, they stay together and get adopted by a family that moves to hope country. Jacob left for the military and john was going through some things.. drinking and drugs. He needed someone there for him, to help him get better. But Joseph left too as he needed to fix hisself too (i didn't actually get into that when explaining Joseph but might do it later). John was alone for a good ten years before Jacob came back and in those years, he bettered hisself and found hisself working at spread eagle at falls end as a bar tender. He actually enjoyed doing his work, getting to know people better. BUT GODDAMN SHARKY CAN'T PAY HIS TAB (bro is never paying his tab). When Joseph comes back, john wants nothing to do with him. NOTHING. he'll help for his niece but that's all. After, he wants nothing to do with that man

He did not have to go this hard with the interior design of his torture dungeon but he did it anyway.

John Seed is a comfort character for some people. Folks like to ship him with their deputies or craft redemption arcs for him.

There's nothing wrong with that, obviously.

But I just can't wrap my head around it.

There's nothing comforting about the way John Seed treated Joey Hudson. I don't understand why the ordeal she went through doesn't seem to matter to fans of his.

She was bait for the rookie deputy and nothing more, because she wasn't going to give in and join the cult.

He terrorized Joey and the rest of Fall's End, stooping to the lowest, most inhumane levels to get his way. Some even theorize that he hurt the "sinners" in his care just because he wanted to, for malicious, sadistic reasons that didn't have anything to do with the cult. At worst, some people go as far as to speculate that he raped Joey.

It's easy to see why someone might come to that conclusion. The way he acts is deplorable and he makes everything feel extremely personal, sometimes in ways that can be interpreted as sexually charged. He'll do anything in order to get his way because "no" is antithetical to him. He regularly flies off the handle, so much so that Joseph is threatening to cast him out. All the touching and getting right up in the player's face is so uncomfortable and obsessive (which is the point, but I digress).

So why does he get to be redeemed and venerated by fans? Don't his actions warrant consequences?

Are people willing to let him off the hook because he's attractive? Because he had a horrible, abusive childhood? Obviously he's got a lot more lore than most of the cast. Is that something people are interested in exploring for him over other characters?

I'm not trying to come after anyone personally. There's nothing wrong with liking villains and Jacob, Faith, and Joseph have also done terrible things to innocent people.

Which is like, fine. It's a video game.

And I know that John, like Joey, is a victim of Ubisoft's choppy, inconsistent writing and storytelling. Things got changed and swapped and cut during development that got us to where we are, with the story we have. Flaws and all, not like it was ever going to be perfect.

But in my opinion, I feel like the adoration for John does a huge disservice to Joey. People make thirsty edits of him while she's literally tied up behind him. It's tasteless and makes the optics of her situation look even creepier.

Her pain has largely been ignored for as long as the game has existed. I can't for the life of me figure out why.
