By Killing Her Mum In A Mercy Kill, She's Doing Exactly What The Ghoul Did To Roger. She's Learnt From

By killing her mum in a mercy kill, she's doing exactly what the Ghoul did to Roger. She's learnt from him. She has turned into him. When she said, "I'll never be you," maybe that's not true. And in that moment, when she shoots her mum, it means so many things. It means 'I'm coming with you.' It means. 'I f*cking hate you, but I have turned into you, you were right.' It means she's letting go of her golden centre. I want the audience at the end of the show to wonder if their hero is still a good person. I don't know who she's gonna be in season two, but this is what happens when you break the unbreakable. I don't know who she's about to become. [...] I'd be down to play it either way. - Ella Purnell (x)

I fucked up my ipad storage for this one and I had to screenshot the drawing because fuckass csp won't let me save it but I ended up liking this so so so much, I'm very proud of myself

You know what I like?

The Ghoul talking about honest exchanges and in the flashbacks all we see is Cooper having dishonest exchanges. Be it with his wife, lying to his daughter about someone’s comments regarding alimony.

Not only is she a reflection of him when he was good and kind, she is morally strong enough to question the status quo as he was back then.

I think he’ll fall for Lucy because she is nothing but unfailingly honest and up front. She is his honest exchange.

my favorite aspect of vaultghoul is how they started off with such an intense power imbalance, but lucy managed to flip it on its head by single-handedly taking out that facility and helping him. in one swift move she showed him that her ideals aren't just cotton candy. that she can be strong AND good. he may have played a hero once upon a time, but she's the real deal.

you can see that's precisely what's on his mind when he meanders in there and pops in one of his old movies. the exact movie that marked a moral shift for his heroic character.

The audience, they wanna see that even a good man such as yourself can be driven too far.

and he was. he was driven so far into doing what it took to survive that he forgot what it takes to be human. lucy is his reminder.
