i have one big pet peeve with dbh fanfiction. i'm very tolerant of it because its an understandable concession to make in order to like tell a more interesting story and include more of the game's characters. but like connor would NOT go back to the dpd and be a cop i know this in my heart. that boy does NOT enjoy the police. if you still want him to like investigate crimes it makes a lot more sense for him to be a private detective or something

While I’m still proud of Christmas 2038, which I wrote in 2018, if I wrote it today it would’ve been so different bc of what OP said here. Hank and Connor would not return to the dpd, no matter how much I enjoy the buddy cop investigating dynamic/trope. It’s not realistic for either of their characters post game.

And for Markus, though I like the journey I took him on, I wouldn’t write it with the peaceful ending anymore. I wanted to explore how the peaceful ending would actually work in a more grounded reality (basically it doesn’t, bc the enemy is always gonna fight dirty for the status quo). The peaceful ending was billed as the ‘good ending’ back then. I never went the revolution route - I sucked at the QTEs and Josh and North always died, which I couldn’t abide. But looking back, that’s bologna. They’re not protesting for better wages or against tax hikes, they’re fighting for their lives to be seen as people and to end slavery.

I’ll cut 2018 me a little slack, bc I was young and naive (and the game punished you for DEVIATING from what David Cage considered ‘good’), but older and wiser 2024 me would’ve written something very different.
