resisting the urge to be annoying and ramble about how kieran's arc wouldn't really work if transplanted onto hop or wally without changing core parts of their own personalities + stories + motivations, essentially ( most likely unintentionally ) pigeonholing them as the " weaker rival " archetype despite how all three grow far beyond that.

#listen kieran's arc is extremely interesting but there are so many factors that play into it being wholly his ya know?#both hop and wally come from wildly different environments and upbringing than kieran that don't facilitate >>>#either of them going down similar pathes as kieran not to mention the clear difference in personalities and temperments #i'm all for a good au of course i just think saying that hop & wally should've been like kieran is missing the point of their own arcs #and failing to recognize what makes them interesting rivals in their own right #that and i think kieran deserves to have their arc as something that's uniquely theirs #idk i love hop kieran and wally a lot and they're all so interesting in their own ways despite all their similarities #i don't wanna seem like i'm telling ppl not to have their fun either which is why i'm not jumping immediately into making a big post abt it #tho if ppl poke me w/ a stick enough i'd be willing to make a more in-depth post about this #bc this is just the basics of my thoughts on this i could go into greater detail #but i'll stop here for now #mj.txt
