"Ending" spoilers

[myfavouritejournalondw]

You know I wouldn't call myself a psychiatrist, but I'm pretty sure "unrelenting denial" isn't a good coping strategy. You saw how well that went for the council. Start adding air quotes to the word "endings" and we'll...

....that wasn't a suggestion mun.

I'm not giving up hope that this can be fixed and neither are you. And yes, that's an order.

That is a beautiful journal name!

[teethandambitions]

I would not hold your breath on that. I was given a wholely unsuitable "ending" and so it has remained for, oh, nearly two decades.

thank you!

[myfavouritejournalondw]

Considering the amount of people angry about this one, I'd like to think we have a chance. The people who made it are already back-peddling into damage control mode.

[teethandambitions]

Ah, then allow me to envy your good fortune.

Tell me, did you die?

[myfavouritejournalondw]

Yeah, in about every ending they gave us.

Considering that's the least of my worries might tell you something about the state of the ones we did get. I mean I'm not thrilled about being killed off, but they could have least not made me have to act like an idiot for it to happen.

[Three choices? How about choice number four? Fuck you.]

[only_one_m]

I'll bet you twenty units of your currency of choice that the ending of your last game wasn't as bad as the entirety of mine.

[myfavouritejournalondw]

Does yours have the possible deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, if not more thanks to overlooked plot holes?

[only_one_m]

Fewer deaths, but the plotholes might as well be the entire plot. The general consensus is that the entire game was an inexplicable yet deliberate character assassination targeted at me.

[myfavouritejournalondw]

Owch. Yeah, that's a whole different sort of bad. I didn't start losing my character until the end of the game when they needed me to make some stupid choice.

[snarkingscribe]

...man, I wish people had gotten up in arms about my endings.

Though I suppose being a secondary character in depressing setting to start with makes them fitting.

[myfavouritejournalondw]

Well it's not so much "my" endings as possibly dooming the rest of the galaxy and going against everything the previous games stood for.

And lots of plot holes. Apparently no one proofread the final copy.

[stilcalibrating]

Nice to see a friendly face around, Shepard. It's too bad those "endings" were that way, although, what did you say one? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt? Not sure how it ties in but it seemed fitting.

[myfavouritejournalondw]

Nice to see you too Garrus.

Yeah, that one's coming back to bite me. Though my mun seems set on ignoring it until it gets fixed. ...if it ever does.

[stilcalibrating]

I wouldn't hold my breath on it. Otherwise you'll be long dead before anything else is set in motion. I think acceptance and disappointment are better than living in denial the entire affair happened.

[myfavouritejournalondw]

If I can ever convince her of that you'll be the first to know.

But hey, unrelenting optimism in the face of horrible odds is kinda my thing by now.

[stilcalibrating]

Thanks, and as I recall there was a great deal of pessimism from the infamous Commander during some of those horrible odds.

Seconding - That is a beautiful journal.

[notromanceable]

Good to see someone's still fighting, Commander.

XD thank you. I quite like your journal name as well

[myfavouritejournalondw]

Someone has to. And I did said I'd see this out to the end.

Preferably an end without incredibly bad writing and plot holes big enough to lose a thresher maw in.

It is a sad truth. |D;

[notromanceable]

You know I've got your back, wherever this goes. I'm in this for the long haul.

Plot holes've got nothing on the shit we've seen.

surprised me when I found out

[myfavouritejournalondw]

Always glad to have you.

A shame they couldn't make good plot holes. How about the Reapers go away forever and everyone lives? I like that plot hole myself.

Me too. I still would have romanced Garrus, but maybe on a later playthrough... >:

[notromanceable]

Personally, I'd love to shove their giant asses into one of those holes. But maybe that's just me.

[fightforthelost]

[Who the hell does renegade Sheploo have to headbutt to get a happy ending? Oh well, he's sort of okay with it in a way as long as the galaxy is safe :I ]

Pulling rank on the muns doesn't work. Believe me, I've tried.

[myfavouritejournalondw]

[Which it is, until you start to think about all the fridge horror stuff and more plot holes.]

It was worth a shot. Find anything that does work? Or is getting them to listen to reason a lost cause?

[fightforthelost]

[And Gilligan's Planet.]

After what we've been through, I'm inclined to believe nothing's really a lost cause.

I'll check and see if a Carnifex works, and then I'll get back to you.

[myfavouritejournalondw]

[Oh yes.....gah, my head hurts.

She chuckles at that.]

Good point.

[fightforthelost]

[All I want is some closure for all my choices through ALL THREE GAMES and to see how my team ends up. I am pretty cool with the heroic sacrifice bit.]

For what it's worth, here.

[Beep boop have some omni-tool flashing and data incoming.]
