What the hell

What the hell happened?

Like, THRQ was literally the BEST season to exist out of all, besides the first

It was so good

And then it's just been all downhill ever since The Point of No Return

The nearer we get to the ending, the more my hope dwindles

I know we're getting a good ending, but I feel as if it won't be good at all

These past few episodes feel less than half-assed, not even sub-par. They've been... almost as bad as THQ2

What the hell happened here?

I blame Uni-Chan. Nothing has gone right since their episode

Let's start with "It's Your Fault"
That one was alright. It was funny and Uni's habit of hiding behind people finally got addressed, and I low key kinda ship Lord Celeste and Jon. It was amusing
So this episode was alright. I didn't see the garbage that was about to be flung at me in the face

"Summer Begins"
I was having an absolute trash day when this came out, and watching this episode only made it worse. The acting was bad, it was like no one cared anymore, and it just came out of nowhere. I know the ending is coming and things need to be wrapped up, but they don't have to. Uni could've spent the time to think things out for a bit and finally put a good pin on the story. Out of everyone, I felt like Jon was really the only one trying

"The Quest is Over"
Did you mean 10 minutes of Uni bitching?
Yeah, the apocalypse arrived. Why? Nothing is being explained to us, nothing at all. In fact, I skipped through this episode and literally every moment I got to was just Uni whining as everyone died out of nowhere

This feels like a fever dream
And any moment, I'll wake up to a better season finale

The ending is coming, and I don't know what to think about it
But I'm disappointed in... everything

THQ had the best ending episode. Things lined up well and genuine emotion and passion was behind it. I can still remember it all to this day, and I sometimes even go back to watch it when I'm feeling nostalgic
THQ2, while the ending was out of nowhere and took forever to get to, wasn't horrible. It was fine for what it was, and it brought me relief in watching it knowing that the season would finally be over and the third would come up

THRQ...

Why?

It had so so so much hope. Each episode was genuinely good, but these last few episodes have just felt... absolutely terrible. It's like Uni doesn't care anymore, like no one cares anymore...

Well, almost no one

Let me take a moment to bring appreciation towards Jon. I wrote this when talking about the absolute disappointment we've all been receiving in THRQ's final episodes

Dear Jon,
Thank you for being the real MVP of the THQ series. Thank you for making Donchard canon. Thank you for making each Wiliker appearance mean something. Thank you for making every appearance of side characters such as Robert, Diliker, and the Duck Builder more interesting than just a "Hello. I'm Here. Goodbye." Thank you for making things fun but still being serious when it is called for. Thank you for adding spice to an otherwise dry story. Without you, it wouldn't be the same. Thank you for caring, and thank you for putting in the effort to show it.
Sincerely, a fan

These are the final episodes, Uni, and you know it. So why are you rushing so so much? Why didn't you have it be laughed off by the d gang when mentioning in passing conversation about how DDawn died in the snow, finally getting what he deserves, instead of having him come back as Mr. Snob only for Uni-Chan to kill him? Why did the whole wish sequence even happen when I'm pretty sure two of the runes, the rule of destruction and the rule of dreams, had been destroyed? Why didn't you have the d gang be a little more involved for the end as a great juxtaposition with the finale of THQ and the finale of THRQ, where in THQ the crew fought against Duni and the D gang while in THRQ the d gang fought with the crew against Duni? Why did you show everyone getting on the ship, have it be blown up, and then let it be mentioned that no one was on there? Why did you let the raccoon hero die in vain? Why did you let THQ2 run for about 2 years and have this one be less than a year (THRQ ep 1 came out on July 9)? Why are you shoving so much dry content down our throats that you seemingly don't care about? These are the finale episodes, Uni, so why aren't you taking the time to make them great?

You're letting us down, Uni. And I don't understand the people who comment "great episode Uni, I'm crying so hard right now" when I myself feel the episode was a disgrace, a spit in the eye, and I feel nothing but disappointment, frustration, and betrayal. I don't understand how people can walk away from these episodes feeling fulfilled or on the edge with "cliffhangers". In fact, I completely forgot all day that THRQ would be updated because I had a feeling the episode was going to be garbage, so I busied myself with playing video games until I realized it had been two hours since it was last uploaded

I feel so betrayed. And despite what Uni may say, I can't shake the feeling that next episode, the ending episode, will be nothing. It won't be satisfying. And despite what Uni said, I feel as if barely any answers to questions will be given, and those that are will not suffice

I've followed this series for years. Seeing it all ending up in a large dumpster fire, it makes me wish I could go back to the time the ending episode of THQ came out and have it all end there. Despite the great memories, despite the passion I had for this fandom, despite the great friends I've made, despite the stories I've written and enjoyed, it feels like it was all for naught if what I've spent ceaselessly pining after for closure will end in an episode that makes me cry, not because it was emotional, but because I held the tiniest shred of hope in me that we would be given a good, actually decent and great, ending

Prove me wrong, Uni, I beg of you
But seeing what these past few episodes have been, and feeling the bitter disappointment I feel inside, I feel like you won't

If anyone wants to, if Uni doesn't give us our GOOD happy ending, I will urge you ALL to write the ending you imagined, starting from whatever point you want
I might as well do that too if I find the time

Here's to a good ending
And here's to the hope Uni doesn't tarnish it
