like. man!!!! it's all about "you can stop at any time" and it's about "it's okay, just keep going from here" and it's about "sometimes you have to do things that aren't smart"!!!!! god!!!!!!!
#cha:emma#c:neosynthesis#i've just been saying character thesis statements left and right entirely off the cuff for two sessions#we can't be SURPRISED i've gotten myself into an almost entirely doomed situation#emma very sincerely and honestly told ryan exactly what she realized and exactly what she learned:#you can literally stop whenever you want!!!! and of course it ISN'T that simple - emma decided that just stopping wasn't enough#and she needed to execute a 6-month long con and steal a bunch of data and crash a plane. and i give it about a 75% chance#that she will die getting shot by a dozen bullets immediately next session because of it - but on the other hand it IS that simple!#if you look around and find you are doing harm. oh my god you can stop at any time! it doesn't change what you did and doesn't mean#that good will come of it. but you can STOP!#(god it's kinda fucked up that ryan is dead. not the point of this post but. ugh. he could have listened :( )#and 'just keep going from here' is the same sentiment in a different package!#ash apologized for not getting back in time and there isn't time to convince her and kenny of 'don't blame yourself it had to be this way'#emma KNOWS it sucks and they're all going to be upset and they're all going to blame themselves. she knows in a way she's doing something#terrible to all three of them. but they have to keep going from here!#take the guilt and the pain and the anger and keep going from here because here is the only place you are!#and you can't always be smart about it. triffany trusted emma to have a plan but um. she doesn't! bc if she was always did the smart thing.#well. she'd have let the plane go! she may be a genius but she's NOT always a head-first character she's a heart-first character.#would triffany and i have a better chance of both staying alive if we stuck together? yes. but if there's even a CHANCE triffany can make i#without emma--how can she NOT take that chance? same as how she never seriously considered the idea of offering kenny along with herself#in trade even tho i think it might have been smart. it was an uncrossable line!#crashing a plane wasn't smart either! but there are more important things.#man. i HOPE she makes it out of this i'm going to try really really hard.#but if she does get turbo killed immediately at least i will be quite satisfied with how that went down.
