ik ghosties are still rooting for a kidnapping but i love bad being proactive much more. for a long time, i found him a bit too passive (a lot of theorizing but no big leaps), so his current arc is really rewarding as a viewer. (and i know bad originally had a plot thought out if he won the election and had since been trying to get the ball rolling with conflict).
my issue with kidnappings is that it forces characters to have things happen TO them, instead of them pushing along the plot. and i know thats harsh on my part, a lot of characters get kidnapped by their own actions (like breaking the rules) but i still find it a bit unsatisfying? like they break a server rule (so it feels predictable) and then they get taken, and then they either discover part of their past or they have their memories wiped. and its fun to watch w other characters, but its just not something i want for MY streamer. im always going to have higher standards.
so having q!bad be VERY federation independent is really nice. i love that he knows his backstory. he knows what big traumatic event has shaped him, he knows what he is, he remembers who he was before the island. hes not getting whisked away by the federation, hes taking THEIR workers. it feels like cc!bad already has this fleshed out character with his own personal arcs (his mental decline, grim reaper) and when the greater lore intersects with him, it feels like HE is the one shaping the story, not having the story shape him.
#eh thats my opinion tho#its not exclusively qbad whos like this but also i cant think of another character who so strongly stands with soo much personal lore#and personal lore completely unrelated to any past rps#maybe fit?#badboyhalo#critical#? not rly but ye
