Can Someone Who Has Patreon Post Screenshots Of The Directors Notes For Father Kevin Bc I Would Love

can someone who has patreon post screenshots of the directors notes for Father Kevin bc i would love to know what on earth they were trying to say in this one

hey btw, here my interpretation of ep249 (or at least how my skill see it) Lets remember that shes now more purplish(?) than her in first blood-gold clothes

i was a bit traumatized by this ep tho (yeah. a bit late, but i had some important things to do sorry)

and. ta-da. my rambles. only them and no more bc no one of my friends knows a thing abt wtnv and current eps

somewhere in the corner, three of my many sides are flexing, each for its own reason. 1st one hopes for a post-Kevin au (to be at least half-real), where Kevin at least refuses the smiling God and opens his eyes (lol) to what is happening and it dawns on him and he gets a little better, but still traumatized. 2nd side is flexing because, like.., well.... Kevin stopped smiling, the Prophet himself(!!!), even for a while, but renounced the main commandment of his God. Where has this been seen? and if it not that, if he doesnt want to save Night Vale from adversity, then at least deal with the reflection of his other ver. past (and spit at Mother Lauren, but this is from mymself back though. optional action) And my 3rd side is flexing from just Kevin. Yeah. Like, my type of fictional characters are miserable poor characters with a difficult traumatizing past. those ones, when in the end it is no longer the character himself who suffers from their past, but their fans. I want to hug suchcharacters, light kiss (platonicaly) them on the forehead, and sit next to this poor thing (yes, I know they will kill me, but everyone has their own flaws, I forgive em) So, we saw Kevin again, not even after an eternity, but only a couple of episodes. My pants are full of happiness. and then the eyes are full of tears. Kevin is clearly up to something, he is clearly serious in his intentions, he knows what he is doing And Cecil is still a brainwashed moron, but hes allowed, he's Cecil

Okay, I woke up and a bit refreshed my thoughts

So, this arc was too small. Such a long beginning for such a merged end. It would be possible to come to exactly the same result, but to pull the arch. Make a couple of fillers. Fillers about Kevin, where he feels a strange connection with his little self that he decided to have a (second?) son. Fillers where they show us more how the city changed under mother Lauren more. Fillers where they show Carlos that after leaving his laboratory and working on dov, he tried to do something to save, if not the city, then at least his husband. Fillers, where they mentioned side characters who also changed because of Mother Lauren. Fillers where there are more intermediate events than others. Despite the fact that I liked the ending and the arc itself, I also think that the potential of the arch was brazenly lost

momentary break from capital L Learning to type abstract thoughts about Cecil and Kevin and their relationship with their parents and the symbolism of a mother that absorbs everything and makes everything about her and still isn't satisfied, and the act of becoming your own father by circumstance and also perhaps by the will of some other kind of force

im also thinking about Cecils experience of becoming a father, versus Kevins becoming a father, and how Kevin remembers his father, and cecil does not. and yet. and yet !

im also thinking about closing the door, the door literally at the end of the episode, sort of like a closed circuit where things bounce back and forth between the same limited number of points. Which ? is sort of like what the DOW is, BUT ALSO. what is also a loose definition of a time loop when it happens again. something about Kevin being doomed to repeat the past, as is cecil. like fixed paths are fixed paths and it doesn't matter what you change type deal? which applies to both cecil and Kevin..... YOU KNOW and yet.. and yet..........

I guess not(?) the boy, in my pov, wanted to replace Kevin, but not to become smth off. He wanted to be Kevin, bc he couldn't imagine the idea of another being

When Kevin (that is adult) wanted him to.be smth else, to have fate different from his. I suppose that he got boy Kevin as his son bc he wanted to make sure, that another him would be and would have better person and better life than his own

I'm just. sorry, listen, they got me emotionally invested on the Boy only for this??? You're giving me a story about a kid who wants to be something more than what everyone demands of him, who's trying to escape what a bunch of different people with power over him are trying to force him to be and the conclusion to that arc is that he IS gonna become exactly what he fought tooth and nail not to be just because someone went "hey, I also didn't understand my father, you'll get it (:"???

I'm just... that's not it, that's very much not it. What.

I'm just saying that Kevin is such an important and powerful and meaningful character to I think MANY queer listeners who have survived religious (and other) abuse, and it would actually genuinely hurt my heart if his arc turned out to be:

"Once upon a time, there was a genuinely kind and selfless person who loved the people in his life enough to sacrifice himself to save them. But he wasn't strong enough, and found himself violently transformed into a tool of incredible violence, against his will.

"And the version of himself that still remembered what love and kindness were, that longed for human connection, survived within him. It persisted long after everything and everyone he had ever known had long since passed away. That version of him ached to live again, to be more than a twitch of the wrist in a body that no longer felt like his, to even remember his own name.

"That desire was so powerful that it manifested in the form of a young boy, one who hated everything he knew he would become and desperately tried to dismantle him.

"And finally, looking at his younger self, seeing it play out in this way, the older one finally regained enough pieces of his will. He consciously encountered a chance to change, to allow at least the young version of himself to be free again, to live happily in the real ways that a person can be happy, in ways that did not wrench the soul. He realized he had the choice to define his god with his beliefs, rather than the other way around. He took his younger self away from a god who wished to control him, and promised to raise him as his own.

"But in the end, the cycle could not be broken, because the violence within him was his, and he would not part with it. In the end, he chose to do harm. In the end, one day, he still chose to put the pot on the stove, and pour the boiling caramel into his own cupped palms."
