OUGH HES SUCH A COMPLEX CHARACTER. I LOVE HIM.
Damien’s subtly, melancholically told character arc will never let me go! All these specific climactic changes in his development, they make themselves present in the Darkiplier he is controlling (as much as you can call it control). It just makes so much sense, especially after DAMIEN, and I love how much it makes my heart crackle.
His leader-to-rebel arc.
His pawn-to-prisoner arc.
His peaceful-to-vengeful arc.
His “We’ll go through this together“-to-“We don’t need the others” arc.
His sweet-to-intimidating arc.
His inviting-to-deprecatory arc.
His optimist-to-mysterious-pessimist arc.
His “We can do it”-to-“I am so tired of this” arc.
The way he cares less and so much more at the same time.
The way he is misunderstood.
The remaining constant is his want for justice. His honesty. His will to make things right.
THIS MAN WON’T GIVE ME A BREAK.
