Oh thank god it's over, waiting each day has been giving me more anxiety than anything else in my life right now lol

But to start with! Knew Wally's damn fingerprints were all over this whole mess, of course he was. That whole Day 6 beginning chat felt way too much like him bleeding into Amir because of his steady fall into pain/anger/apathy. The way he spoke reminded me way too much of how Wally likes to speak through people to make them feel hopeless.

I personally love conflict and problems. Big fan of shit hitting the fan and it hit crazy with this one, with Amir/Wally immediately coming in with all of Drifter's history with Wally. Was it cruel?

Oh, Absolutely! But this makes sense to me, as I mentioned in my previous post that Amir could be a callous and ignore others when they try to tell him things. Amir is also mentioned to have a temper and he's been proven to internalize and bottle things up before blowing up. Of course Wally would bring out the worst in Amir and exaggerate those awful feelings in him, I imagine it would be the same if he were to possess/speak through any of the Hex. Bring out their worst qualities to a ten.

And I will say, just because a person is getting better, doesn't mean they can't backslide. I don't think it's fair to expect perfection from Amir, especially because of the time loop where it feels like he's not Going Anywhere. How exhausting must that be on a person's conscious.

Really, really loved the line from Amir saying, "If being cared for by you means to be condemned to this never-ceasing loop for all eternity? Then I would like to never be considered a friend to you, Wanderer."

Because wow. Wonder if Drifter had any similar thoughts about a child king. Puts a great emphasis on the power imbalance here with the Hex and Drifter.

Of course, the situations are different. The loop with 1999 isn't just about Drifter, it's about an entire group of people, a city, a timeline. There's more to it and I think Drifter would gladly welcome the day the loop ends. Besides, Drifter wants to talk and one of the options is them saying if Amir doesn't want to be in the time loop, they can talk about it.

Not to say it was fair what he did, cause God Damn. Ouch. How he treated everyone and Drifter especially was fucked. I do want to say, the biggest thing I think that this quest suffers from is a lack of time which I find a lot of more recent Warframe quests suffer from. I wish there was a longer build up and a more thorough resolution, but looking through the lens of Drifter as a character in the world of Warframe and not as an OC, I think it's interesting how Drifter refuses to admit to their own problems.

They do it in other previous chats, I don't think they're very enthusiastic about diving too deep about their own issues and feelings. Putting out events of their life as stories and facts is different. A lot of the times, when Drifter gets really into their own trauma, they have to be pushed into it a little and even then they still get the option to refuse.

And with this situation with Amir, after what seems to be a brush with Wally, why bring up their own feelings and hurts in a delicate situation. If everything feels fine then 1999 is safe and Wally can't hurt them anymore. No need to go further than that. Drifter's "job" is to "fix things", not offload more of their own problems.

I might be reading too into things though lol.

I guess to bring all my thoughts to a close; one, I still very much like Amir. I'm actually big on Arthur, Eleanor, and Quincy as my favorite from the Hex, but I love all of the cast and I'm not going to blame Amir for struggling and lashing out in a situation where you as Drifter at the very least have the capability to leave and change and make things different and have power over someone who feels his very existence is currently futile and implies he'd rather end it.

Two, overall I really enjoyed this FnF Campaign, but I do wish there was more to it. I think it would've felt a bit better if it were longer and had more time to sit and cook. I also do feel bad for those who romanced Amir cause I haven't seen anyone posting about special interactions with him and that does suck. Especially cause this was an Amir centered adventure.

Also, I'm a little sad Amir revealed he doesn't actually like being the FM! He seemed so enthusiastic about it in previous chats.
