Secret Meeting At The Park

Secret meeting at the park

I remember this game, because I started playing when I was 16, probably, and I'm surprised that it turned into a short animated series.

I remembered about it less than a month ago, when Pinterest showed me one fanart with Frank, which was practically the first one that made me remember about this game. And that's why I saw more fanarts, mostly with Jake x Frank, so that's why I'm here.

“New Year Kiss"

Another year.

They made it. It was a difficult road for Jack.

A road full of decisions, fears, truth, pain and tears.

He still felt the feeling of helplessness, pain, rage and happiness at the very end.

After so many years, however, he tried to forget about what happened, enjoy what he gained and remember that the decisions he made were right.

If he allowed revenge to happen, he would go crazy. Then he wouldn't be himself anymore.

He would disappoint his family, whom he loved.

His evil deeds were hidden in Rapture as a secret from the surface.

And not only his.

He spared those whom he couldn't kill when it was probably right for him to do it.

Even if Tenenbaum felt that revenge was the right thing to do in these cases and wouldn't turn her back on him if he did it.

He couldn't forgive Frank all these wrongs right away.

His wounds needed time to heal.

They were not easy to heal or hide.

They still existed. In his mind and also in his nightmares.

They couldn't leave that easily.

However, another year came and new challenges he wanted to face up.

He decided to be strong for his family.

He let them to help himself. And he let himself to help them.

Even those who were new to his life.

It was a difficult task. He had to find the strength to overcome his past.

Jack made Frank realize by forgiving him that he had made a lot of mistakes himself.

He became a monster because of fate, which gave him pain, lack of support, loneliness and no love.

They couldn't go back and fix it.

But Jack saw Frank trying to fix himself and trying his best to make him and his family forgive him for all the pain he had created.

He also showed his support, feelings and attempt to forget this pain, which, however, was difficult to reject.

He never told this to Frank, but later forgave him everything.

It gave him relief forever.

He was ready to forget most of the pain.

And the kiss Frank had created earlier was like one of the happy memories of his life.

There was only one problem that had existed for him almost his entire life.

Frank's change and that kiss caused him to see an Atlas in front of him that never really existed. The one he trusted before.

Previously, he could easily see Frank in the appearance of Atlas, who wasn't actually Atlas.

But now he couldn't forget about Atlas.

Neither in appearance, nor in behavior. Only the voice was always different.

He forgot about Frank, but he saw Atlas.

This change always caused him pain.

Atlas never existed, but he saw him always before himself.

Atlas caused him hope, but also pain.

He could still see it.

Like at one point, he felt like he couldn't manage to push the knife away as he when stabbed his back.

But after that he saw his real face.

He would gladly shoot at Fontaine face.

The nightmares always made him aware of the terrible pain and the fact that he should have eyes around of his head.

They also made him realize that he still should not trust Frank, about whom he also hid the truth from the surface.

Frank. Fontaine. Atlas.

He always saw these three personalities in him.

Both of them were fake, they didn't exist. But both of them were real, connected and still trying to repair themselves.

Because of that kiss, Atlas came back.

Atlas who wanted to save his life.

Atlas, whom he had come to love earlier.

It was Frank who became him.

And by changing, he caused Atlas to come back.

However, his mind had to have only the truth.

It was just Frank.

Atlas has always been dead.

Tenenbaum didn't understand it like he did.

She didn't leave them alone without knowing the truth.

And when the time came and she had to come to terms with it all, she left Jack and his family to their fate once she was sure they were happy and safe together.

She let Jack live as he always wanted. Just like he dreamed about it.

Just like the girls dreamed about it.

Just like Frank dreamed about it.

She also allowed herself to live the way she dreamed of it.

Without pain, it's hard to forgive all that remains with the ruins of Rapture.

She returned to new home. On the surface.

Still wanting to believe that Sinclair was out there somewhere, safe and sound.

Just like everyone who was important in her life.

Couldn't the world can be less monstrous?

If it were up to her. It would make their fate less painful...

This would be a big cost.

Rapture was just the beginning.

-----------------------------

This may have been partly the case.

There is only one ending, but it would be nice to see no bloodshed.

Not everyone feels the desire for revenge. Some people want to give themselves time and forgive those who hurted them.

It could have been the same in this case.

I once wrote a private fiction (I write only for myself because of my bad english grammar) in which Frank lives on the surface but pays for his actions.

Then it is written in such a way that after many years he changes due to time and Jack who visits him in the prison.

(But more canonically accurate I see there when Frank living alone and grow old like Lamb after BioShock 2, but there's is a little difference between these two lives)

When I was writing this idea, I wrote a description of the years of Jack's life, mostly, and the moment when Frank returns to his life as a completely different person, but permanently under the name Atlas on the surface.

Regretting every harm and every mistake made.

Jack then risks everything, but his decision to let Atlas be in his life was the right one.

There is then trust, repairing the past and beginning love between them.

And so it continues until the end of their days.

There may be a bit of sadness at the end due to the years and the death of the characters, but I don't regret writing it.

Atlas died first and Jack didn't want to say goodbye.

Of course. It could also be that Frank takes revenge while he's free, but that don't sit well with me.

I prefer to think about a happy ending and I think that a different ending in which we wouldn't have killed Frank means that he is different after x years, that he has changed.

I prefer the idea that he is this monstrous character in the canon and future events and time change him rather than the fact that Atlas and Fontaine are two separate characters.

It's not a bad idea, because I have him as two separate characters in two ideas and a few renders for the future, but I prefer what I described above.

It seems to me that Tenenbaum would like to change the fate of everyone and if she could, she would sacrifice her life for the fate of those she loves. If only they were happy.

Someone doesn't have to agree with me, but everyone has a different opinion. And that's exactly what I have in my mind.

Now BioShock 2.

I won't forgive the creators for what they did to Sinclair (When I think about Tenenbaum who will never know about his death, my heart bleeds) and that Lamb could be left alive.

While it doesn't hurt that much, it would be a lot better if Sinclair could live his life on the surface like Tenenbaum, Jack, little girls, Eleanor, Delta, C.M Porter and others.

It's just fiction and you can change everything, but even if I can do it with text, fics and arts, you won't change the canon.

It often seems to me that I get too into what I write, but I can't do much about the fact that I'm sensitive to everything >_>

I completely see them as happy future husbands

Created probably six or five years ago. Then, I was using a 3D render program named keyshot, not knowing about many useful functions

“Magic Time”

„Love burial at Sea”

Historians be like: Oh my god, they were roommates!

Story:

He kept away from everyone. Even though he felt lonely, he didn't want to trust anyone. Getting to know someone made him fearful.

He didn't trust, but in the end he broke that rule.

A certain man appeared before his eyes, just as he decided to take a lonely walk among the darkness of the ocean in the city of Rapture, where there wasn't a soul around him in this late evening that he could sense.

He watched the many buildings and neon signs behind big, glass tunnels. Starting to smoke another cigarette in his hand, listening to the various announcements coming from the speakers, advertisements about various products and plasmids, but he focused mostly on the atmosphere of the music and the beautiful voices that echoed in the underwater tunnels.

He reflected that he had no specific purpose in his life, watching different types of fishes swim in their intended direction, knowing more about their purpose than he did.

He didn't expected anyone to break his loneliness.

This silence, this gloom, was hushed by a melodic and charismatic accent he had never heard in his life.

Most of the time, though, he was silent. He could listen to this Irishman for hours.

He let Atlas step into his life, not knowing that the secret behind that relationship could hurt him and push him into the darkness of the past.

A friendship that turned into love. A love he didn't expected. He didn't think he'd let it exist.

Atlas changed that. He couldn't refuse him, and above all his feelings, which Atlas had changed in his heart.

I had the DLC title in my mind. I had an idea for a fic earlier, but then I thought, "Why not make an art out of it?" Aand here I am.

This is only part of the story because I wanted to create a description for this art and fic at the same time (I always create them for my all fics).

Please forgive me for any lapses in words or even in the atmosphere I wanted to create.

I wanted to show already grown relationship between them in the render, but we know how Jack is like. He's shy.

This is the moment when some time has passed since their meeting, and Atlas is still fighting for his "freedom" and for the people who hated Andrew Ryan and his government.

As for the background. I described how in the tunnels this music and commercials (and not only) play, when Jack is there all alone. I tried to describe everything as best as possible (translating it from my language to english), but if someone can't quite understand what I mean, this video shows exactly how I wanted it all to be heard through speakers, by the main character and the people who read it: click

Just beautiful. I can feel the vibe listening to this. It helps me relax, sleep, but most of all, it helped me write my own Jatlas fics, which I finished and also helps me with creating renders.
