#the Jabberwalker effectively gives them a complete reboot

[sir-adamus]

the argument over the Jabberwalker was interesting

Light wanted it destroyed because he’s a tantrum throwing toddler and didn’t like it, Dark refused to punish it for their fuck up in creating it flawed

neither of them attempted to fix it

those two idiots, the first of the Tree’s creations, are completely unaware of what the Tree does, that it helps Afterans improve themselves through ascension

and they created two flawed beings to do their jobs for them; the Cat, to find hurt Afterans to help their problems and ascend, but couldn’t ascend themselves because there was no one to send them for repair. and the Jabberwalker, a broken mess of a death system (meant to clear away the parts of the Ever After that had run its course) that they just left running instead of making adjustments (and because it’s the only threat to the Cat, it was never going to be able to Ascend and have the major issues it has fixed)

and why would they consider that their creations are in need of repair? they’re meant to do the jobs that Light and Dark do, ergo they shouldn’t need repair. because that would mean Light and Dark would need repair, and that would mean admitting they have flaws or are at fault for anything and we know from how they responded to Salem that they’d never fucking do that
