"There's got to be another way."

Okay so here's the thing: I still really want a Dark redemption. Not because I want him to stop being evil! Not at all! It's an integral part of his character that he is destructive and smug about it. But because I'm attached to the idea of all the hollowheads working it out and being okay. I am very aware of how self-indulgent this is. Sue me /lh

Dark is looking very un-redeemable right now. I'm enjoying it! He's genuinely having so much fun being evil and causing pain and suffering. That's super interesting for a character in a series where most of the villains have a motivation for their actions, and especially interesting for a series where forgiveness has been an important part of resolutions.

However, it makes me wonder what exactly they're going to do with Dark. Obviously it's too early to tell for sure, but surely they wouldn't kill him again? After years and years of people saying they want him back, would they really make the season end in killing Dark?

AVA 13 IS LITERAL ??????????? WTF EVER
