i kind of want to talk about my view on The Chosen One after ava 11... this is very ramblely and i don't think i finish some of my thoughts so bear with me here

honestly, my opinion on Chosen hasn't changed much. (probably cause I always liked victim and figured he must've had a pretty good reason to be attacking him like that. and he sure did.) the thing is... Chosen was never completely innocent. there is absolutely no way you can frame it so that he was, but it is also important to see it from his perspective. Now, The Dark Lord very well could have been the one to kill Mitsi. But either way, Chosen watched it happen, did nothing, and even allowed TDL to high-five him afterwards. Even if he was hesitant. It was merely a speck of guilt in a sea of death. His guilt wasn't strong enough to act on. At the same time, this makes a lot of sense.

All he had known was fighting and suffering. He was created because Alan wanted a challenge. He instantly starts to fight Alan. Then gets enslaved by him for years. So when he gets free, it makes sense he still is aggressive... and he's with Dark. That's the only role model he has. Victim got better because he had people who were kind to both him AND others. When he loses them, that's when he falls apart again. Chosen had DARK. Dark was aggressive to him at first, but then friendly, but still aggressive towards everyone else. It's the ONLY friendliness he's ever been shown. Of course he goes along with him. He sees Dark as a good person at first even if he feels that it is wrong, he's never been given the chance to learn that it's NOT wrong, so he ignores that feeling of guilt, because it's his friend that he trusts. He only started to realize it was truly wrong GRADUALLY, after the high of becoming free wore off, after the days of him being used by Alan were left behind. He slowly began to see the weight of how bad it was that Dark was literally murdering others. Dark however never felt bad; it was just how he was made to be. So he still continued to go along with it even when he became clearly concerned. In fact, it's not until Dark is about to wipe out EVERYTHING that Chosen attacks him. It's not until it's on that large of a scale that he acts. And it took him YEARS to come to that decision. And in fact- Dark was WEAKER than Chosen without his bands, so Chosen could very well have stopped him at any point. But he didn't. Not until Dark had already made those bands to increase his power. Not until it was so far gone that he was about to wipe out everything. So... Chosen isn't innocent, no. But he absolutely cared about Dark. And that's why he went along with it all. Dark was all he'd ever had. It's only once he's gone that he can consider doing anything else.
