#let us not forgot the month long saga of 'FCG is a bad friend' posts for the crime of not talking about Ashton when they aren't around

[wolf-king-art]

actually i do something more to say! everyone lost their minds about how amazing ashton's "the gods can ask me for help" speech was and you know why he even got to that point, instead of abstaining, instead of deflecting, instead saying nothing? because FCG pushed that whole conversation to that point! because they didn't just drop it and respectfully back off, and go "oh sorry for bothering you".

he's not your shitty family or annoying friend, he's a pretend robot. they're fictional characters, they have to push each other! that's how the character growth happens! if he's not over-earnest to the point of annoying the other characters you don't GET that good moment for another character.

hell go way way earlier. FCG says something rude and dismissive about a drunk guy and ashton pushes back and gets another good speech where they get to lay out some of their personal beliefs and stuff. (followed by a week of hot takes about how FCG is judgemental and terrible and needs to be put in his place and isn't ashton the best, the kindest, the most moral) he's been doing this the whole entire time and everyone has hated him for it all along

like everytime i see a hot take about how annoying FCG is, how rude, how he's actually not good at therapy or helping people or being religious and boy, i sure hope someone corrects him! i sure hope another character (lets be real, Ashton) gives him a lecture! i sure hope he changes his ways and learns to be better! and i'm like. yeah, he probably will. that's where his fucking character arc is going. i know nobody cares about FCG's arc or believes they have one because they're just a bunch of unfunny bits in a trench coat to them, but it's been "FCG learns to be a person" this whole time
