So in the Pre-sequel Jack had Felicity assimilated into the constructor, which essentially killed her and basically generates all future Loaderbots, which in turn is his undoing when one of those Loaderbots goes rogue, starts helping the Tales crew and saves Rhys from the AI version of Jack up on Helios which eventually leads to his death when Rhys rips his cybernetics out.

So I'd like to think that for every Loaderbot that turns against it's programming there's a little bit of Felicity's original code that made its way in there as a final act of rebellion. I think there'd be some poetic justice in that.

HJ: "Can I see Angel?"

Felicity: "No."

HJ: "Can I please see Angel?"

Felicity: "No."

HJ: "Do you say anything other than no?"

Felicity: "Try asking again."

HJ: "CAN I PLEASE SEE ANGEL?!"

Felicity, activating an army of robots: "No."

Omg I found out Felicity rampant actually fucking respawns now, I DON'T HAVE TO REPLAY THE GAME TO GET TO HER TO TRY AND GET THE DOPPLE GANGER SKIN 😭 BEFORE YOU COULD ONLY GET IT DURING THE STORY MISSION BUT SHE RESPAWNS FINALLY OMG.

How long has this been a thing 😭

[blazeball]

i;m going to play tps now

[timothylawrence]

I think Felicity's arc in TPS is one of the few arcs that genuinely make me really sad to the point the idea of a replay is really unlikely.

S3 alternatives/rewrite ideas: What if the truth about the video came out and August got exposed? What if Hillerska investigations looked different?

My preferred s3 outcome would've been August being actually punished and his actions having tangible consequences so let's think about that! Also 'fixing' a whole lot of other storylines and plot holes that are connected to that so here we go!

Disclaimer: This post is not looking for explanations or defenses in favor of s3 plots so please only interact if you're open and willing to fantasise and theorise and spin this imaginative story further and have fun with it

I also wanna link to this post by @raincitygirl76 that kind of addresses this whole bit and has some really valid points in my opinion.

This post by @resipsaloquitace also mentions some important plot holes I'm addressing here.

The background: Wilhelm has admitted to being in the video with Simon in front of live cameras and phones for everyone to hear and it's probably being spread like wildfire on the internet already. After the first shocked reactions, I imagine the second one would be "who the hell posted that video?"

The fact that apparently no one in all of Sweden or the rest of the world (because we know this 'scandal' has been international news and the crown prince of Sweden coming out wouldn't be any different) has seemed to ask the question of "who did it?" and tried to figure it out is just completely unrealistic. People care! We know they do, the way Wille's scandals were treated before are proof of that! And he wasn't even the heir to the throne yet during one of them! Imagine how much bigger it would be now that somebody did this humiliating thing to their Crown Prince! Wouldn't you want to know as a normal citizen and think there should be justice and consequences for that person?

The conspiracy theories would probably run rampant on social media and if Felice can figure it out after only a few days, then millions of people on the internet will be able to do the same. And millions of people are damn better detectives than just Felice. Not to mention there would probably be journalists diving deeper into this and articles discussing it, wanting to be the one to drop the ultimate exposing story.

Now that that's established, let's get to the alternatives/rewrite part of it: What would a realistic and accurate punishment look like?How would that exposé come along and what would happen when August is found out?

What about Sara's report? What if that actually meant something and the police is now involved and it's tricky and not so easy to brush under the rug? In one way or another, legally or publically, August won't get away with it. Sara is a witness after all. So even if August wouldn't get charged and be registered as a sex offender, there should at least be an effort made and a logical reason be found for that instead of ignoring what happened in the s2 finale because it's inconvenient now. The settlement in the show was too simple and easy for me and I feel like an entire writer's room should've been smart enough and come up with something.

We're talking about a crime committed against the crown prince first and foremost, that won't be taken lightly by the police, it's a matter of the country and if you will, also about politics. They have no political power but we're still talking about the son of the Head of State. They could consider this child pornography and a hate crime committed against the projected future Head of State and August essentially barely gets a slap on the wrist?

And also no mention of his estate Årnäs and Rousseau, the horse he bought? Oh and Alexander who was made the scape goat in the entire thing and then was completely dismissed in s3 like that never happened? I'm definitely open for suggestions how all that could be handled differently and all of these elements that were introduced in the s2 finale could be brought up and tied together in a more cohesive, satisfying way.

Of course this also asks the question - how does it affect August's storyline this season? Is he anxious and terrified of the truth coming out beforehand now that he can no longer control it and it's only a matter of time? And what about him after the truth came out? Will he actually learn from the consequences? Could he realise being rich and of noble birth does not protect you and lets you get away with things? Could it even be a good thing for his character and he could finally understand the real damage he has caused to Wilhelm and especially Simon and try and make up for it? Maybe he could heal even when the world is against him and his perfect image is shattered. Maybe that's exactly what he needs, to reconstruct himself. He doesn't need this facade anymore and has to figure himself out in the future without the pressure and significance he put on titles and performance now that it's no longer important.

Or if you just want to see him be punished and suffer the consequences with no healing in sight, this plot could still work. He will be stripped of his estate and the money, his name will have no worth anymore and be associated with shame and Wille and Simon can get actual justice for the crime committed against them and his place in the royal family will be taken away and they never have to deal with him interfering with their lives again.

And how does the royal court handle it before and after? How do their plans change of making August the back up now that that's no longer a viable option? Would the public question their involvement, would they be accused of covering it up and would the trust in the royal family go down? What kind of constitutional crisis could potentially arise from that? The show didn't dare get into that but let's get into that! Are they trying damage control, bring Simon and Wille into the spotlight to focus on their new progressive, modern royal couple or are they trying to keep them on the down low away from the press? What things might have to change and what will they do to keep Wilhelm in this position? What are they willing to do?

Another part are the Hillerska investigations that were a badly executed and unnecessary added drama plot in my opinion but if we keep it in this rewrite, they could be instead about the video logically. Simon and Wille were filmed in Wille's Hillerska dorm room and the person that filmed them must have been another student so that means the school is responsible and that could be really embarrassing for them.

Would the students be investigated? Would the whole day/the time the video was filmed be investigated? Would the society party be relevant and brought up again? Would the exclusive society that hinged on secrecy be exposed for what it is, promoting elitist, classist behavior and using it to consume drugs and alcohol? It would've been a good way to bring the Society back and also tie it to the s1 storylines since we had no mention of it again after that and it felt like a weirdly dropped plothole.

I bet there is a lot of attention and scrutiny Hillerska would receive after all that. How could they let this recording happen, the school doesn't seem to be safe etc. I think it would've been a logical step and feel more cohesive if the school's reputation was smeared because of the things we know have happened within the show's narrative and make it about that instead of making up a past event that has never been relevant before and was semi-retconning multiple character arcs and was put there as a shocking plot twist for drama.

This is a lot and I'm just putting these questions out there, maybe there's not an answer to all of it or there are a lot more questions to be put and it could be spun even further. And also maybe there isn't a case closed kind of solution to some of them but more an open 'what could happen after the show?' kind of implied ending (the future of Hillerska and the monarchy in the stars for example). And if anyone wants to add ideas or suggestions to this 'rewrite' (or actually rewrite it) I'm all ears!

[alliluyevas]

I do very much like Claudie’s design and outfits so I’m not just like a rampant hater for the new dolls hgdfg. I don’t think I would buy her because I do not want to be spending that kind of money on dolls rn but I really like her! (I bought Felicity as an adult when they did the anniversary limited edition rerelease but I’ve literally wanted a Felicity since I was eight so that justified it)

[bookcub]

reading planning perfect by haley neil and oh i should adore this book but unfortunately it's just so so for me.

ya contemporary with aspec rep? love it. jewish mc? fantastic. mc with anxiety. absolutely love to see it. long distance friendship turned romance??? absolutely my jam.

but i have to tell you, felicity is infuriating. and i realize that's part of her arc is getting the perspective she needs. and maybe it's because she reminds me of parts of myself that were very rampant in younger me(and sometimes gear back up now) but i get so mad at her (and her mom and grandmother!!!).

like i realize she loves planning things but her mom should not be allowing her to do this much. that is irresponsible. felicity has way too much investment in this wedding and her version of what a wedding should be is interfering with what her mom and finance want.

she wants perfect perfect perfect and perfect is unattainable and subjective.

anyways, im really frustrated with the fact that the adults in her life are not setting proper boundaries with her because it clearly has had a negative impact and continues to. im excited for the conclusion of this story as i anticipate it wi be what i want.

Hi this is @felicity-rampant's main acct. I don't think you understood just how much I appreciate the work you've done. I have a small bnb group that I bm and we just recently finished the last campaign in the main book. All of my players want more content, but I don't have the time or energy to rework the whole game or write more campaigns. Your rework might literally save this little group of friends that I've been fighting to keep together. I love you. You're a fucking hero.

Hey, thanks for telling me, it really means a lot you reaching out to me like this.

I'm glad I and my work could be of service, and I hope you and your group enjoy it!

I'll be honoured if it would allow you and your group to enjoy the game for long to come.

Drink that which in me still bleeds, a frisson of felicity that ignites the moment your skin brushes mine. Ecstasy, rampant electricity; a proclivity for the way in which you eat me. A masochistic monotony. Victorious ivory venor- rending innocence from my vein. Sinking ever deep.

Two days without proper sleep.
