I want to see stories about the coward, the sellout, the person who knows what they have to do to save their soul and then just... doesn't It seems to be something that we're genuinely afraid to ask about and confront

I genuinely don't believe the problem is that people are ignorant about the difference between good and evil, or that they're haunted by psycho demons that make them do awful things I think it's just that doing bad things is *easy*

Thank you! That's a good kernel to contemplate as I ponder some npcs in a campaign I'm building. Failed redemption arcs are crushing. So tragic yet more realistic than the archetypes of good and evil.

can I plug that The Last of Us is 100% this and it's one big reason I love it?

Basically, the eternal self-inflicted drama of everyone on /r/nofap.

Maybe I just read it right after watching The Lord of the Rings, but Joseph Conrad's novel Nostromo had the strongest 'Frodo deciding that he'll keep the One Ring, actually' energy I've encountered outside of Mordor.

I took a whole class on Nostromo as a college freshman and skipped more sessions than I attended and NOW I regret it. Could no one have framed it that way for me at the time??

The best thing about Frodo Baggins is that he shows you don't have to be strong to do the right thing. Problem is, espec genre fantasy, that is SO rare as to always draw into question whether it's still in-genre.

My favorite part of Frodo's character is his ultimate failure, and Gollum's success (tho not for why Tolkien wrote it that way). Imagine how dumb it would've been if he just did it, or beat Gollum in a 1v1 and then tossed the ring. That is what happens in much of popular fantasy.
