#like her saying to lil c that she'll be proud and to be careful? OK SORORITY

Not to be another anon NFB ask or anything but I'm glad there's like one person in the fandom that appreciates Megan Wolfe. She leads most of the broadcast and developes from messing up "welcome back" to becoming news anchor through the most unexpected means and had to be brought down with Channel 1 and devolve to mindless entertainment. I don't see people talk about her enough aside from her angry bits (albeit funny) which is so criminal so thank you for your service

(nfb asks, anon or not, are always more than welcome, this game lives rent free in my mind anyway lmao)

BUT YES, IT'S ALWAYS LOVE AND APPRECIATE MEGAN O'CLOCK IN THIS BLOG, BABY

but yeah, as you said, i love joking about her as much as the next guy and i'll always find a way to mention TAKE A HIKE, BRUSH BOY--because god, she's so freaking funny--but SHE'S SUCH A GOOD CHARACTER. she starts out as this young newbie who's wildly ambitious and willing to network and align herself with the people who will boost her up that corporate ladder (advance, even sophia rymmington), but at the same time she loves what she does and understands the responsibilities she holds and she comes to regret a lot of the things that got her there in the later game, but finds that her hands are tied after all.

(and there's something to be said about how she doesn't react the same way jeremy does in that situation, not only because she has seen how much damage that did to her friend, but because she doesn't have the...freedom to do so? she owes a lot more to advance than jeremy ever did. i also think that it has something to do with her being a woman, which kinda parallels with julia's position a bit. food for thought).

and yeah, she's so flawed, and i love all those flaws in her! she's fun and friendly, she's a bit of a diva, she's hardworking, she's a bit of a kissass, it's great! we see her grow--both in her career and as a person--and you can always see how much she cares. one of my favorite scenes is in the 20 week war during the clement laments sequence, when peter is like "and you know what? you get more like him every day", and she stares him down and goes "i will take that as a compliment", like AUGH IT KILLS ME (even more so if jeremy is dead).

and of course, how the different finales affect her character can vary in such interesting ways. the jeremy dies/alan dies branch, especially if you play the tape, absolutely destroys me. when she says “We were journalists. The gatekeepers of truth. And now? Now we’re this shit-show. The great misdirection played nightly, so bright and fun and shiny that you can’t see what’s happening right in front of your face. Well, that’s on us. That’s on me.”? LIKE HELLO WHAT A CHARACTER ARC. it's great and I will never stop hyping her up.

and also, like....she's really hot. that's purely a bonus, but man, she's really hot lmao.

anyway, megan wolfe appreciation hours are 24/7 baby i love my babygirl so much.
