#im glad i lived

In 2011, I played the Honest Hearts dlc for Fallout New Vegas. What captured my attention was what they tried to convey in the scenery of Zion, the Grand Staircase, and Bryce canyon. I knew of Zion and spent a lot of time in the California desert growing up. But something captivated me. Something about the beauty of this area spoke to me in my core. I never forgot it. For the scenery only, Honest Hearts was always my favorite dlc.

For years after, lots of friends tried to get me on a trip to Zion. It never felt accessible. I carried a full schedule of post apocalyptic events and cons, I ran a camp for a few years, and organized an event of our own. Finally, my wife and their best friend wanted to get together and camp. Zion was where they chose to go.

Standing in the park filled me with emotion, and I teared up and cried at the base of The Narrows. This was it. This is Zion. A place formed over millions of years. One of the most beautiful places on earth and I lived to see it.

When I was in the visitors center, seeing the park rangers young and old filled me with such deep sadness. I had wanted to be a park ranger in high school. For a lot of reasons, I gave up on that dream. I still remind myself there's ways I could work in or with the park service. But seeing them there made me wonder how my life would have been different.

Y'all, I hate to say it, but no, Nandermo did not "go canon", in an "alternate universe" or through "implications" or otherwise. They were making fun of us. That was the point of all the little nudges and open questions that were quickly squashed. That was the point of the hypnosis ending. The point of that hypnosis was quite literally "Here, let's give the perfect fake wish-fulfillment ending to parts of our fanbase" (which is why there were three. They're fake. That's the point. The point is that they are supposed to be fantasies to appeal to people's hopes for the show).

Having Nandor and Guillermo as a classic sitcom couple set to a laugh track in a universe where none of the other characters exist was a jab at shippers who wanted Nandermo to be canon and cared more about that than the other characters or the premise of the show. They were making fun of "and they lived happily ever after" type fanwork. They were making fun of people who, in their eyes, ignored the irreverence and violence and black comedy of the show in order to make fluffy slash content. They were explicitly saying: "This is how we see you, and this is how we see what you want from this show, and we are telling you that it won't happen and we in fact have contempt for the very concept."

Why do you think they kept baiting the ship until the literal last lines of the show? They were making fun of us. They were saying "Ha! You still thought this would happen? After years of us saying it won't, to your face? Idiots." It's a comedy show, and they were making shippers the butt of the joke. They've been doing it for seasons now.

This is literally what Supernatural did back in the day. And nobody said that they made Destiel canon when they had an in-universe/alternate-universe stage play where the actors "explore Destiel". Fans back then recognized that it was a joke at their expense. That's what this is. Same as what happened in BBC Sherlock that one time, where in-universe conspiracy theorists said that Sherlock was in love with Moriarty (a ship the creators deliberately baited, mind you, same as they have here), specifically for the purpose of laughing at and making fun of that theory.

I'm so sorry, guys. I know you wanted to hope. I know you wanted to believe that the things the writers said at that con weren't true, but they were. I know because I wanted to hope too, even when I knew full well it wouldn't happen. They've been plain about how they feel about the ship for years. They saw it as a joke, one that drew in viewers, but was objectionable at its core. And they've followed through on that by baiting and jabbing up until the very end.
