Honestly I have a lot of mixed feelings about the Gardners whole deal and the Peace Ending. Mostly cause the Peace Ending involves a tactic that’s just…really loaded for me. It’s very much less of a peace talk and more of a…coercion. The humans will die unless they submit and the only reason why they get a slightly better deal is cause Sym is there.

I don’t think it’s a bad idea to have an ending like that, I like that there’s no golden ending. But also I think it’s important to acknowledge that what the Gardeners did is an…actual colonization tactic. I know it’s weird to call it that cause the humans are colonizing Vertrumna but the Gardeners imposed strict rules (no reproduction, a halt in industry and so on)  and as much as I understand why the made those demands (the industry one in particular) this does not exist in a vacuum where real colonizers didn’t make those same demands to their colonies (usually by force, Something we know the Gardeners Do due to the Epilogue talking about how they dispose of particularly rebellious humans) 

Even though the demands were made more “reasonable” there still not great, it’s an “accept or die” situation. Which again is just…very loaded in meaning.

(I���m being unspecific since I’m most familiar with stuff from my home country and I’m a very private person, it’s an Asian country if you want some tiny specifics on the background here.)

I don’t think the game…necessarily intended this though, I obviously can’t read into the exact intent of the game. But I don’t think they necessarily meant for all that implication to be loaded into the Gardeners. Or atleast not in this way.

I don’t know, but that’s the main reason I cannot enjoy the peace ending that much…it is so reminiscent of Real World Colonization Tactics that it just immediately brings my mood down.

a family!!!

[ ID: Digital drawing of Xiao Xingchen, A-Qing, and Song Lan. There is one main image with all 3 of them together stacked vertically (Song Lan, A-Qing, then Xiao Xingchen) and separate images of each character by themselves. Xiao Xingchen is facing the right with his back towards the viewer. His whisk is in his left hand, and his sword is in his right hand; they are both held such that the hair of the whisk and the blade of the sword are dragging behind him. His sleeves have white flower and cloud patterns. A-Qing is in mid jump and holding her bamboo staff diagonally behind her. She has grass blades and gingko leaves on her sleeves. Song Lan has one knee on the ground obscured by his hanfu. He is holding his sword horizontally in front of his face. All three have very large flowy sleeves. ]
