#Flaws of dawn

[nothinggold13]

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010) is clearly the weakest of the Disney/Walden trilogy, but the part of it that single-handedly makes me the angriest as an adaptation of the book is at the end where Alberta Scrubb yells, “Jill Pole has come to visit!” because Jill Pole Would Not Do That.

On which note, obviously the part of Prince Caspian that makes me angriest is the massacre they committed against Peter’s character, but the second worst part is when Miraz is crowned King and we hear Telmarines declaring, “Tashbaan pledges its troops!” and “Etinsmoor pledges its troops!” because Tashbaan and Etinsmoor Would Not Do That Either.

Buddy Dawn you deserved better. You deserved to be raised in an environment that taught you to think for yourself. Or if not that

You deserved friends who would have care enough to try to help you form your own beliefs. or if not that,

You deserved friends who would have wanted you as a person, not a placeholder, not a replacement, a pawn, a means to an end. If not that,

You deserved friends who wouldn’t have killed you.

You deserved to live long enough to change, to challenge yourself.

You deserved friends.

You deserved love that was not conditional

You deserved love.

Buddy Dawn you deserved better.

He rocked him as a baby, he raised him, he called him his son, he hurt the woman who broke his heart in a way so devastating.

He loved him. He loved him so much and the woman who raised them, they're protector, the only person he trusted besides his other selves, snapped his neck.

He held him. He cradled his son, as he did when he was still a babe, and he laid him to rest all by himself.

He watched his son, who died, crying and in fear in the arms of the woman he trusted as a mother, turn to ash before him and he was truly alone.

Wasn’t in a good space so here’s a comfort character in his comfort zone

[willothewispwisteriadawn]

Chris takes are always a bit too polar to me to the point where I like slightly disagree with all of them. Like:

“Chris is a pure angel.”

Hm well, he is capable of shooting an innocent squirrel and can sacrifice Ash to save himself in the saw trap (which is a baaad situation I can empathize with but is not right or heroic). He can also lose his temper a few times and poke fun at people just to be annoying.

“Chris was just as much of a meanie as his friends. He’s a total asshole.”

That’s a little bit too intense, imo. The story doesn’t act like that. I think Chris is meant to somewhat offset the general meanness of the cast. The devs have spoken about this when explaining why he was removed from the prank. Chris’s intro card and app bio emphasize his affability, loyalty, and protectiveness towards his friends— which we see in-game a lot. Additionally, there’s the matter than all his truly bad moments are player-choice and can be avoided. So, while I think that Chris is a multi-sided character who may get infantilized as more innocent than he really is… I also think there’s sometimes not enough credit given to why fans do tend to view him as a good dude: that’s what’s emphasized about his character. Certain other characters hold asshole-qualities as emphasized traits. For example:

The game lists “irreverent” as a core personality trait of Jess in her intro card. Emily’s bio calls her a bitch, and Mike’s claims he has a streak of narcissism. And this is all shown in-game. One of Hill’s segments points out that Emily is a bitch and that Mike is an asshole. (Yes I know it’s Josh thinking that, but it’s also directed at the player). This is not a character-defining aspect of Chris, even though he has it in snippets. Like look at the difference in the overall emphasis of kind and mean qualities in these basic bios.

MY THESIS HERE— I tend to sit somewhere in the middle of these takes. It doesn’t make sense to deny that Chris can do some bad or jerky things. But I also don’t think people viewing him as an overall sweeter character within this cast is without a basis. He’s actively characterized as a loving friend, which we see on screen a lot.

PS: Btw, this is an analysis on what the story intended with Chris, and why I don’t think people reading him as nicer than most of the cast is a misreading. But one’s personal opinions on each of his actions gets subjective, certainly. Can’t argue with that. And there’s a point where you could just disagree with the tone the story puts on him. I’ve done that with characters in the past, but I largely agree with how the story handles Chris and think it does align with how he behaves.

2 [What was their first impression of each other?], 15 [What are their arguments most commonly about?] and 8 [Who kills the bugs in the house?] 🌸

2. Lamaty'i thought Khaliun was a big, strong, beautiful stoic woman. She was right, but she also gets to see Khaliun relax a bit!

Khaliun thought Wuk Lamat was impulsive but incredibly warm. She's right, but watching Lamaty'i grow into a leader is extremely rewarding.

15. Eventually, I do feel as though there's going to be tension between the age difference and their approaches to problems. They do disagree on how to handle Sphene and Alexandria in general, and I can't wait to see how the Post-Patches deal with the whole Soul business.

8. Wuk Lamat will until it's too fast for her. Then it ends up being a chase with both of them yelling.

Thanks for the ask!

mecha is a mid genre and g-witch was extremely mid overall but it was mid in a way I personally enjoyed
