Gone Ahead 7.2

siiigh oh John.... Began my second attempt at reading Pale this summer and have been really invested! I don’t talk about my feelings on wildbow’s webserials on here very often but I’ve just been so totally gripped by the John Stiles & Lucy throughline in this book I have to talk a little about it 😫

arc 13 spoilers & ramblings below

One of my biggest worries my first time reading Pale was that I was soooo very invested in where it was going + the potential for a familiar relationship that it was a little scary to continue. Was worried it would be brushed aside/not focused on (can’t always trust wildbow to focus on the same things I value, alas) and that was too heartbreaking to consider. Luckily (and torturously!!) this was not the case!! Really crazy stuff and really impactful, it’s almost on the level of how I feel about Taylor in Worm where I’ll just cry any time I think too long about it 🥲

I’m crazy enough about it right now that I even made a playlist to be sad to, so for the smattering of Pale fans on here uhhh here’s my super mopey John/Lucy playlist. I am currently insane about them & grieving!!!!!!!

Spoilers up to Pale arc 3

If I had a nickel every time I got attached to a blonde, traumatized Otherverse guy whose very nature predisposes him towards conflict, paranoia, and violence but despite it tries to be a weapon for the protection and wellbeing of his friends and loved ones, is surprisingly a sweetheart, and is pretty much Just a Dude beneath the Otherness...

John Stiles has done nothing but hold the protags at gunpoint, shoot various antagonists, and sing awfully, but I love him dearly.

It's very funny to me that John Stiles and Victoria both quote Sun Tzu The Dog of War and the Antares, both of whom desire to move beyond Wars hold
