This little pumpkin has been floating around my blog for a while, but she’s never had a formal introduction. So, meet Gail VanderQuack! Despite her Granny’s ruthless training, she’s a firm pacifist who refuses to fight, believing that all problems can be solved with words! She’s a sweetheart, deeply empathetic and good at making connections with others, but also a bit of a scaredy cat, and not cut out for the hardcore adventuring the rest of her family excel at.
Beakley’s always said the two girls were twin sisters, and they’ve never had any reason to beleive otherwise. But as they uncover more of FOWL’s secrets, they catch wind of a decade old secret that’s been kept from them — one of them is Beakley’s biological granddaughter, and the other is a super soldier created by FOWL. The only question remaining, is which one is which?
my general feelings on the whole "happy ending vs sad ending" debate I occasionally see is mostly "nice dichotomy idiot, what lies outside it!" aka an ending should make sense to a show. It should fit the context that has been given before it. I think neither happy nor sad endings are inherently better than the other and I LOVE a bittersweet ending. All that being said for me, personally, I do think a massively tragic ending requires more of a buy in for me. Heavy Plot Contrivances to make a sad ending tend to annoy me at best while Heavy Plot Contrivances allowing for characters to have fun and be happy I'm like hell yeah let's go. Escape the dooming of the narrative <3.
