Eh fuck it . TUA!Finnegan/Slight S4 rewrite bits under the cut.
- If we're going for Finnegan being a CIA agent, I imagine he got partnered with Five due to being a loose cannon continuous misconduct and disobeying orders from his higher ups, only for the two of them to cause even more hell for their workplace together. Bit of tomfoolery if you will. Bit of mischief. And no one can stop them cause you would have to be stupid.
Keeping Lydia and Orpheus as his siblings of course, just without the supernatural elements from this RP.
- Or since some fans say Canon Five willingly being in the CIA doesn't make sense for him after the shit he put up with during his job at Commish, I'd adopt Jump's headcanon of him taking a job in CSI instead. He can still end up investigating the Keepers, maybe be under cover in the CIA with the lead that members of their ranks are hiding within the agency and he somehow ends up roping Finn into it after confirming that he's uninvolved. Either way this would pre-establish a relationship of a sort between the two.
Actually make the Keepers more of a threat here, by extension. Maybe make a connection to Abigail if we wanna make her a villain too, or some sort of connection to the Commission?
- If we DO go down the route of Finn getting his own powers... Technokinesis, maybe slight technopathy? Keep the bit of him being a tactician, eventually acts as support/navigator/mission control-type beat for the family? Apparently there was plenty of Marigold left after the siblings got their powers back so.
- Less time spent in the subway (pre established relationship there's no need to waste 6 goddamn years as an excuse for romance), have them both accidentally stumble upon it, yada yada, use it to delve more into how the subway, and by extension the alternate timelines work, use it to explore Five's probably-repressed-at-this-rate trauma about everything he's been forced to deal through, without a break I may add so that it'd make sense for him to be hesitant (Not hiding it for months, just being hesitant) once he finds the notebook showing how to get back/properly navigate. He's tired, he's done so much to protect everyone and yet no one's ever thanked him or told him he could stop. Of course he's gonna be tempted to just grab Finn and run.
Just have them utilize the subway somehow, if you're gonna note to the audience that time flows differently outside subway-limbo then have the characters use that to their advantage to buy everyone more time, for example.
- Instead of...whatever the fuck canon does, Have Five slowly open up to Finn about everything during... I'll say a week, that they're there. How he's been fighting tooth and nail for his whole life without being spared a moment to rest just so he can protect his family, his fears, his regrets, maybe that he still sometimes misses Dolores.
And Finn would promise him: "One more time, and we won't have to do this ever again." That they'll quit their crappy jobs and get their own place together. And more importantly that Five won't have to deal with everything alone anymore. What good of a partner would Finn be otherwise?
- If we DO need to keep the concept of the Cleanse, then instead of the suicide pact, have everyone band together to fight against their supposed "fate", fight against Reginald and Abigail, and fuck canon everyone actually survives in the end because they had each other!
- Just make your season's final message be that you're not alone, you're never alone and there'll always be people who love you for who you are. Let there be a focus on love, not just romantic, platonic and familial. Have the story end with everyone having a family reunion in the park, I dunno!

I think another reason I'm getting the urge to move blogs is...harder to articulate, but I'll try. It'll most likely be long, though, so I'll put it under a cut.
As I mentioned, I am putting a ton of pressure on myself to be active and present on this blog. This is not caused by anything or anyone else. I'm just putting it on myself.
But there's also a feeling of...insecurity? about my place in the RPC. And again, this is on me. It's not the fault of my wonderful RP partners, who I absolutely adore. It's just...I feel like no one would notice if I did leave. By creating a new blog, I'm trying to give those who want to go, if they do, a chance. However, I genuinely love all of my mutuals and don't want anyone to unfollow/go. I think this is why I try to be as active as possible, responding to threads whenever I possibly can. Because I'm worried that if I didn't, people would forget me.
Again, not the fault of any of my RP partners. And moving blogs might not fix this, either. IDK. I just feel like I'm not a very....necessary presence here. Like...people rp with me, and I'm sure they do it because they want to. But it's still hard to convince myself of that. Even though I know it's most likely true, it's still difficult to believe.
But, I will try. Because I do want to enjoy RPing again. And that's hard to do when, whenever I log in here I feel inadequate and insecure. However, that's on me for not realizing and finding a way to deal with these feelings earlier on. I should have. But now that I do know, I will try to believe that people actually want to write with me. That my blog is necessary in the RPC. That I'm not just someone people write with out of pity or just to be nice.
Again, this is not due to any of my RP partners. It's just how I've been feeling. And I wanted to get it out. I'm not sure what to do about these feelings. But I will do whatever I can to work on them. To convince myself of good things, instead of bad. It can be tough, but it'll be worth it in the end.
If you've read all this, thanks. And I love you. I'm not saying this to get sympathy or anything. I just wanted to get it out there, so that I can deal with it somehow. Thanks again for reading. And ILY <3
