I was thinking about the Chosen One, as I'm always doing, and... I realized something really disheartening.
Chosen has never won a fight while fighting for the right side.
His first fight with Alan? Right before he can teach him the lesson he deserved, he's captured and enslaved by Avast! for years. His second fight with Alan? He comes out on top this time, but it was that victory and the subsequent rampages that made the Dark Lord, his only ally, go off the deep end.
His grudge match with Dark? He's holding the advantage most of the fight, but is immediately overwhelmed when Dark puts on the wristbands. Even when he goes full bash brothers mode with Alan, the high point of their character arcs where they mutually forgive each other and work together as an incredible team, they lose to the ViraBot army. To add insult to injury, that practically nullifies his earlier win against the singular ViraBot.
The Mercs? We don't even see the fight that preceded it - we begin in media res with Chosen full-bore fleeing. His fight with Victim in the Box? What fight? That was a torture session where Victim was holding all the cards from the very beginning.
It just really has to sting. Imagine being THE strongest person in your universe 99% of the time, and one day, you look back and realize that every single time you were fighting for the right cause, you completely and utterly lost. Your only victories came when you were still a villain. You are a being created for and defined by your world-shaking strength, and you are always being overtaken by villains who are careful strategists, making concerted efforts to never give you a chance to breathe until you're worn down and defeated.
It gets hard to feel like you're living up to the name "The Chosen One".
Hello everybody, I apologize for the terrible wait. I started this comic way back at the start of february, but school and other matters have kept me from finishing it. I finally mustered enough will to finish and post it today (it is currently half past midnight in my country), so I hope you enjoy it. Again, I’m so sorry I was gone for so long.
Unfortunately though, this is probably the last post I will make for the AvA fandom, as my hyperfixation has shifted to another fandom, and I have lost interest in this one. I still watch the series, but I will no longer draw fanart, so I advise anyone who follows me for AvA content to unfollow me. I’m sorry!
Some things regarding the comic: I have never played D&D before, so the gameplay I’m portraying here is probably completely wrong. I hope you understand the gist of it nonetheless. Also, I first wanted to make a comic with just red and a dragon (because I love dragons!!), but it quickly evolved into this.
See you guys around, and thank you all SO MUCH for all the support you have shown me on my previous posts. I never thought my silly comics would be viewed by so many people, thank you truly!
