why’d i choose this fic to start doing the faceclaim gif at the beginning of every chapter? alba baptista has a limited amount of gifs and it’s becoming very frustrating

can’t belive finley maybank, son of el bridges and jj maybank, will never be canonically real

          okay, so i’ve settled somewhat in regards to jj’s death. i still absolutely hate it and wish it never happened but the fact that they killed off a beloved character, in a way, sets the foundations for the final season.
          
          it started off as a little boat show with a group of best friends searching for a treasure but as it went on, the stakes got higher. it wasn’t a silly little adventure for lost gold anymore. the characters have had plot armour for the four seasons. john b falls off the lighthouse and only gets a broken arm. sarah literally died, her heart stopped, and she came back to life, even without proper medical care. big john had a head injury, fell unconscious into water and somehow made it onto an island and survived. for someone to permanently die brings about that realisation that “shit, this is real, this has consequence” for the characters which can bring about development and plot that wouldn’t be used before.
          
          do i wish they didn’t kill him off? yes. but if it wasn’t him, i wouldn’t want it to be any of the others either. i like it when stories have consequences, i’ll say it time and time again. sure, they don’t need to be super realistic but if a show based in non-fiction doesn’t have any semblance of it in it, then it just ruins the immersion for me. 
          
          jj maybank, you will be loved and missed. x
          
          

oh, also, despite the fact that it’s gonna take ages to get through all the seasons in DMC, all of el’s backstory and everything up to season 3 has been planned before anything about season 4 came out.
          
          and maybe that slightly hints at her backstory but i just wanted to get it out there that i wrote el’s backstory first.

idk, i’m definitely in the deep of my feelings and still haven’t processed everything and my health issues playing up and causing me continuous physical pain doesn’t help so maybe i’ll give it a bit. 
          
          i still aim to release the first chapter in the next week or two. probably more likely two though

          so i think i might just write to the end of season 3, might include the first episode of season four just because it ties things off pretty well as an epilogue. i’ve got time to think it through but this was not the right decision to make in this show.
          
          i love consequences of actions, it provides the realism that i think is refreshing in any type of show or movie but this was not it.
          
          maybe it’s the pates’ way of punishing me for coming up with an oc who has a similar backstory to jj but actually developed properly.

first 8 minutes of obx part 2 released and all i want to do is hug jj
