Okay long post for sfawtde.....
I think everyone is still processing the ending of dawtde..
It's crazy. I can't stop thinking about it too.
It kinda feels like it would have a double meaning but it probably doesn't. Because.
The way Derek's and Avery's relationship is shown is reminding me of when I was quite at my lowest point.
Derek's mind is just, "I'll fix it myself, there's nothing much for me now. Leave."
Then there's Avery trying to stay with him. Even if he barely knew Der, he cared so much about him.
And he probably Derek probably knew that.
It genuinely hurts so much how they care for each other. They just met, for Avery. Same for d3rlord3. And der knows everything about Avery.. And they care. So much..
Avery went silent after Derek mentioned about how'd they both die. Derek knew how Avery would feel when he died. So he bothered enough to make a video for him. One last thing before the weight of the king and the amount of knowledge crushed him down.
I agree that Avery probably wouldn't have felt anything for Derek since he just met him. But take the consideration of how Derek acted to Avery.. The way he sounded it felt kinda...... Well. He'd have all the utmost reason to hate or like Avery with all the knowledge he has.
And he'd probably know that in a universe, they're together, just happy.
Like the case of "Right person, wrong timing".
Der's voice gave warmth. Avery kept asking if he was alright. Yelled and probably balled his eyes out in worry, knowing he got distracted by someone whom he cared for. That's literally going to sacrifice himself to save the world.
God it's doomed. It's all DOOMED!
