Malevolent Part 60 & DC al Coda
omg it's over, and John is ALIVE, and Arthur is ALIVE, and Lilith is ALIVE, and so many other people are alive that I thought could still be killed by Kayne, and even Kayne is alive.
and that thing with Faroe in the end
I am of the opinion that the ending was perfect in every way. When Arthur and the manager were talking about the Faroe whose Arthur died, the one who was alone, I did briefly think that they could technically bring her over to the world Arthur was in, but I thought it would go against the whole "finding a way to move forward without letting go" theme of part 59. But I'm not upset that she's there now.
It was such a good feeling after rooting for Arthur and John for who knows how long, for them to actually make it to the end. I expected a tragic ending. I was certain one or both of them would die, and I was waiting for either Lilith or the manager to die as well. I thought there was a chance Harlan would do the tragic end where Asathoth and everything dies to make some heartfelt point, and I was certain if they succeeded that would mean killing Kayne.
Getting the 'good' ending is good for my soul, and the fact that there are still a bunch of unsolved mysteries makes it feel like the story continues, even if the podcast won't, it makes me a little less sad that it's over.
I loved these characters, the world, and this story, and will probably continue to think about it and continue to make fanart for it when I have time in the future.
