David is already established as having been controlling, and it is suggested that he had abandonment and trust issues. His father left when he was a kid, and it was just him and the women growing up. Again, I see no need to posit an incest angle with Keira to account for this, and as I said, it raises more questions than it answers.
What's wrong with raising more questions? It's called a plot twist. Also, David stepping into the role of an absent father figure would parallel Sterling's story poetically.
From a storytelling perspective, I think it would be an incredible waste of time to build up David's legacy and posthumous reveal, only to have it be some sort of elaborate deception. Especially when everything else he writes in that journal checks out to a tee.
After learning David had a small dick and got fucked in the ass by Drew, what "legacy" is there to protect? Isn't Sterling
supplanting his father, i.e. filling the "power vacuum"? How would making David a sympathetic, tragic character serve the story
better than utterly destroying his reputation?
What you're suggesting isn't impossible. It just strikes me as needlessly convoluted, especially when we probably only have a couple more chapters to go.
If the game is almost over, then I agree. But I'm
hoping we get a couple more chapters, which means we need more plot twists.
... Because I'm a critical thinker and don't automatically take everything at face value?
Why does she need a different reason?
What is there to "reconcile"? I'm not following the thought process. Revealing the affair while Drew is still around seems like a perfectly valid way to bring the plot to crisis, which is a good thing this late in the game IMO.
I don't know why you can't follow my thought process through a whole paragraph? Ophelia doesn't
need a different reason, but the story may. If Ophelia finds out about the affair this
soon then Drew is most likely out, which seems like a waste right after she showed up. If the game is wrapping up soon then yes, my point would be moot.
Sure, because nothing says sensitivity about mental illness like framing it as a punishment or curse for past misdeeds.
I'm trying to have a conversation in good faith but you're making a strawman argument here. Besides, you said yourself:
I hope you aren't going for "incest always produces freaks in just one generation" trope. It doesn't really work that way.
... No, incest doesn't
always cause defects, but it does
sometimes, doesn't it?
So far it's just your idea, not WWG's.
I'm glad you're here to tell me these things, after I already said so multiple times. I'm only offering mere speculation based on admittedly flimsy evidence. I'd be happy to be wrong, just to be surprised by the story.
You seem overly defensive about David and Lucia, why is
that?
