i know i am a broken record on this point but like. no, not unless by "we" you mean literally every single character and creature in the entire neverafter. not that i can even begin to imagine how that would work. but otherwise this would just be the pc's getting authorial powers because they're the main characters, first of their respective stories and now of this show, and therefore becoming authors in their own right with all the horror that entails. these six specific characters might gain power over their lives, but the side and background characters who have fleshed out this world from the beginning will continue to be shuffled around against their will in whatever way best suits those with more narrative weight.
#and if youre gonna say well yeah but they would be a lot nicer about it than the authors were... i fear you have missed the point entirely#again and again i come back to:#if you take this world at its word when it tells us that characters are sentient then there is no moral way to preserve the story form.#hashtag narrative abolition now!#neverafter
