#for whatever its worth i enjoyed kingsley as a character i thought he was fun to watch for the one (1) episode he got.

(Pssst, time to change your ask button, too!)

Considering your posts re: Molly coming back, what do you think of Taliesin's decisions re: Kingsley?

oh shit thanks just changed it. anyways! i think kingsley is probably the best salvaging of that plot beat wrt to what i see as a major thematic core of c2 (living in memory means neglecting your present + you are all the people you used to be and the notion of a discrete and whole past self is an illusion because you are continuously changing, but that means you can also still change right now, today, and isn't that freeing). i am glad that they didn't just revive a totally unchanged mollymauk with no ramifications, i think that would pretty badly undermine the like. coherence of that piece.

that being said. kingsley is pretty messy isn't he lol. i would have to rewatch early campaign to have a better-formed opinion on how he interfaces with molly as a character but. well he only got one episode to exist. i think there's potential there for him to be just as good of a coda as molly's permadeath would've been, but not nearly enough time for that to actually be the case in practice

(i just finished c2 ama)
