WHY DID THE AUTHOR KILL YOU OFF?

DEATH AS REDEMPTION. some things cannot be forgiven. what a shame, then, that so many consider forgiveness to be the be-all, end-all of character redemptions. or that forgiveness in itself is the redemption. whatever sins you committed, whatever actions weigh your soul down, the author has decided that you cannot make up for it . . . and so they will not let you try. no, you will not even be allowed to try and put as much positivity into the world as possible. ( you cannot restore the balance, but surely you could do something? ) instead, there is only one thing to do: sacrifice yourself. you'll take a bullet meant for the hero, or tackle the villain off a cliff ( dooming you both ), or you'll use the last of your magic to get everyone else out safely.

when the heroes speak of your death, they will act as if you have undone all your wrongs, as if dying was the holiest gift you were capable of giving. i cannot help but wonder . . . how much more could you have done, if you had only been given the chance?

#BITING SNARLING GNAWING CHEWING SEETHING #i feel like. in universe this is the only kind of death anyone would Accept from him. which absolutely enrages me #like if he died pathetically or normally or even of old age. someone would come along to revive him #'your work's not done yet' kind of blah blah blah bullshit #because they can convince themselves that it's not what he would've wanted. they have an excuse to flog that dead horse #but if he died knowing that it was out of his hands? that he was shit scared of it but backed into a corner? that he didn't WANT to?#ofc that's precisely when every fucker would turn their back to mourn him. imposing hero status on a guy who just wanted to be a guy #idk if i'm making sense rn this is SO UPSETTING bc it's VERY PROBABLE #this is a man who created a tulpa who put himself into a safer universe bc he was so scared of dying. he wouldn't want this #which is precisely why it would be the way it happens. that's his curse. that's hellblazer #of course every self-righteous superhero in the dc universe would decide it was best For him. because that's his life #( character study. ) A WALKING PLAGUE OF A MAN.
