ok you know what? gwen assuming sam did something fucked up in order to consider joining the OIAR has got to be projection. she snaps back when he asks her why she joined and I just have to believe the reasons for each one of them joining aren't too savory. also, gwen doesn't want to talk about why she joins but she wants to climb the ladder? she Definitely is looking for something and that is Not a job. honestly maybe the non-puppeted by jonah version of elias bouchard might have burned down at the institute? might be a thing there???

wishing a very unhappy mothers day to one mary keay

You know, having characters as parts of a computer is pretty close to stuff that's already happened in TMA. For instance, when Gerry was stuck in a book without anything to do, he was a Keay, bored.

i looooove characters who are sacrificial lamb coded. characters who have never lived for themselves. characters born to be a tool, a weapon, a sacrifice, all of the above. a character raised by the heroes to save the world, at any expense, even their own health, even their own life. a character raised by the villains to end the world, at any expense, even their own health, even their own life. characters who are denied personhood so they can be used as tools instead. characters who never even had a chance to be people because they were shaped into something else from the moment they were born. characters who were born to die.
