#discussion!

I would like to know which one do you prefer - Resist, or Walk Away (or maybe the hidden one at the beginning of the game)? If you could also write down why exactly, it would be awesome. I’m just curious. And maybe some of you have interesting headcanons about what happens AFTER one of these endings.  So yeah, basically - let’s discuss a little.  Actually, I love all of these endings. Why? Because not a single one is actually what gamers call “the good one” or “the best one”. No. All of them are actually a fail of Hope County’s Sheriff Department and a win for Eden’s Gate. And I love it, because I was sick of all those happy endings. I love that the main point after finishing the game is “you killed hundreds of people, destroyed and burned most part of the county trying to save few of those you cared about, but in the end, all that violence ended in your lost”. It is cool. Many people say that it made the whole game pointless, but NO. It was to PROVE A POINT. To prove that going and shooting and killing everyone in your sight (because let’s be honest, we also killed civilians on some occasions, by accident or not) is not a good thing. But if I had to pick one, it’s Walk Away. Mostly because the world is still intact (even though the war is imminent, as car radio says - something about Korean and Russian nuclear tests). But because it proves another point - Jacob’s brainwashing WAS A BIG DEAL. It really affects people, it’s not something you can forget about. My headcanon is that Dep indeed kills every single person in the car, including Pratt (I’m sorry, my dear boy), and goes back to Joseph, blood covered, furious. And is trapped in Hope County once more. Fighting for nothing all over again.  (I also like to think that John and Jacob somehow didn’t die and are just in a really bad condition - but alive, and slowly coming back to life). So, how about you, people? I love this fandom and I would love to discuss with you some more! Reblog this post and write down what you think about Far Cry 5 endings.

It's not so much that I don't think it's possible to do, so much as I think the issue is that many people who try to make the one to one comparison... aren't usually effective at the delivery. If one is going to make the comparison, you have to actually understand how real world racism works and how it bleeds into every interaction from personal to political... And many writers often try to "simplify" it in a way that doesn't work for me (e.g. "both the oppressors and oppressed are WRONG!" narratives). I also worry about the comprehension of the target audiences, which will be affected by to the MC being of color. But that's me.

Anyway, your thoughts? 

omg CAN WE PLEASE THO. I’m dying ovah here. I don’t even know where to start! Are you terrified for WIll? Are you psychoanalyzing every single thing Hannibal does ‘cause it must be ~~all part of the plan~~???

I believe she's referring to her Bright's disease, related complications of which did eventually take her life, although it's true that I don't know when this particular piece was written. It may well be about the death of a family member, or perhaps a simple reflection on the fact that there hardly seems to be time to take a breath before the next blow strikes and one is on their back again, gasping and begging the sky to open up and swallow them already. It's a fact of life but the darkness varies.
