Back when S3 ep45 came out and foster and L got married, i think alot of us expected lena to show up and ruin everything . So when things went smoothly, i assmued they had finally earned their happyending. Then the last few episodes came out, and something felt off to me. Foster seemed softer and slower than usual, and thumbnails still said gf instead of fiance/wife. Looking backthose detail very clever?
When the final ep dropped and we found out that foster and L had divorced and that the person we had been hearing since ep 46 was actually new gf? Iwas honestly shoked! I think a lot of us were sad, and i was even mad for a while. But after thinking about it, i came to appreciate the ending more beacuse it felt realistic. It made me realize that sometimes love itself isnt enough to keep a relationship going. So
1 when did u decide that divorce would be the ending? Was that always the plan,or did ot come to u later?
2was keeping the thumbnail as gf intentional?
3 were there any clues or hints that you planted most people missed?
4what made u feel that this was the right ending for the story?
5 were u trying to say something about love, growth or relationships through that ending ?
1. I talked about it on the discord as a joke for at least months before it happened. I think that was a good thing so people forgot about it haha. But it definitely wasn’t impulsive. I knew that was gonna wrap things up. That’s why I actually cried (I didn’t real cry a lot during recording) while doing the wedding vow episode. I knew it was the end.
2. Definitely intentional! Sometimes i had funny hinty bits. Like s2 where i kept referring to 37 as a number and then 37 was the ep Sebastian croaked.
3. About the switchup with Listener? I don’t think so, apart from the thumbnails. I was very careful with my wording in 46-50 so maybe there were more hints but none that come to mind!
4. Like you said yourself, love is very strong but love often isn’t infinite like they say in the songs. Reality is that everything weighs and has a price. It’s gotta be tough to look at the person you love and just flash to seeing them bleeding, unconscious, injured, traumatised… it ruins every good moment you get eventually. I’m glad they parted mutually.
5. Basically what I said in 4 :) i wanted to be gritty and realistic, as much as it hurt. Foster and L are both happier getting to start over again and deserve a partner to heal with, not drown with just to call it love
Thank you for the questions!! ♥️
