Hello everyone. DeathlyJazzHands55 here. I've decided that, instead of responding to comments, I'm just going to do one big notice/update chapter so that everyone knows where I stand on a few things, because it's come to my attention that some things need to be addressed. I am warning you now, I will not be pulling any punches in terms of the things I say here, because a lot of what I have to say is not pleasant. Fair warning to everyone, I am very pissed off. Most of it has to do with what I'm about to say here. There will be spoilers for something, so if you don't want spoilers, then please ignore this post, and move on. You have been warned.

Now, for those who have decided to stick around, it's time that I get into what it is I want to say, starting with a question I've been getting. That being:

Why will Camila not die in Season 2?

As I said to another commenter (I will not name names but you know who you are), the reason why I don't want to kill Camila in this version of the story is because, after a recent rewatch of The Owl House, I grew attached to her character. While in this she is not the same person at all, even in the slightest aside from name and appearance, killing her feels like a cheap way to force Luz to leave The Human Realm. If there's one thing that I hate about writing, it's that sometimes authors will force plot points to happen because they have no way of progressing the plot further without having to brute force things. I've been guilty of this in the past, hell even with All For Luz, but that doesn't make it feel any better when I do it. I won't say what that forcing of plot points was, but keen eyed readers might be able to deduce what that forced plot point is/was.

Now, I know what some of you might be asking: But Jazzhands, what reason will Luz have to leave the Human Realm if not for not having any reason to stick around due to her family being dead? To that, I say: Read and Find Out. I am not going to give away what I have planned to answer a question. Especially one as vital as that. However, there is something that I should note, and maybe I haven't made it apparent enough here as I should have, but Luz hates Camila. Like, utterly loathes her. She has very good reasons to, but I haven't had a reason to fully dive into that yet. Ironically enough, next chapter will explore that.

Also, something that I've noticed, and it is kinda important from here on out, though I did mention it when Season 2 first started, but that being said, a handful of you dear readers have gone in assuming that Season 2 of the Redux will be anything like the original Season 2. This is despite the fact that I said all the back in the first installment of Season 2 to throw out everything you knew about the original Season 2, because it would not apply. Like, at all. The way I see it, none of you took that information to heart. At all. You are looking at this version of season 2 with the assumption that anything from the original season 2 would be replicated here. But that is not the case. The same with Luz's character.

I have no idea where this assumption came from, that anything from the original season 2 of All For Luz (2022) was going to happen here. That includes plot points (with the sole exception of The Battle of Gravesfield), which means that Camila's death was not going to happen. Onto the next question.

Will/Will Luz not Kill All Might when she goes to The Mutant Realm?

Now, as I have said this time and again, and I will continue to say it until it gets drilled into everyone who asks about it's head; Under no circumstances, will Luz kill All Might. I will not be saying why because it is spoilers. From here on out, if anyone asks me this again, I will be blocking them. Period. If you think that's petty or rude, well, I did say I was going to be rude in this, and here's the plain truth: I get annoyed very easily. To the point where a lot of people have said I have anger issues. They're probably right but I digress. The one thing I hate more than anything is answering the same question over and over again. Especially when it's the same people asking that question that I've already answered. So, from here on out, if I have already answered a question that has been asked, and I say as such to tell you where to look, and you still ask later down the line, expect to blocked with no warning.

Is this harsh? Yes. Do I particularly care? No. Why? Because honestly, at this point, I'm beyond the point of caring when it comes to things like that. Now, as for what those questions are that I will be blocking about if asked, here are those questions and there answers:

Q: Will Luz be awakening All For One?

A:Yes.

Q: Will Luz Kill All Might?

A: No, No, A thousand fucking times, No!

Q: Will Luz become a full fledged villain when she gets to The Boiling Isles?

A: Yes and No. Yes, in terms of the fact that she will stop giving a fuck about certain things, morals included. No, because of reasons at the end of Season 2, of which I will not be discussing, so don't ask me.

Q: Will Camila go to The Vestige Realm?

A: No, because that requires her to die. As I've said, I will not be killing Camila. That, and, as I've said before, for Luz to have anyone in her vestige realm, she has to be the one to kill them and then she has to take her Quirk. This will not change. Not even after her Quirk awakens. This is to stop me from having to write more characters than I have to. If you have a problem with that/don't like that, then damn, that's tough, because I don't care.

Q:Will Julia show up in The Vestige Realm?

A: For the same reasons as above for why Camila won't be, no, she will not. Again, Luz has to be the one to kill them, then take their Quirk. Last I checked, Julia was killed by Derreck, not Luz. Not to mention that Luz does not have String or Vines. So, why then, would Julia be in the Vestige Realm? It's a pretty simple answer, really. Especially if you've been paying attention, which I'm beginning to think that a lot of those who ask these questions haven't.

Now that I've said my peace in regards to those questions, it's time to address one final thing that has been itching at me since I've seen it happen, and quite frankly, it's starting to piss me off. I am not going to be nice about it, either. So if you get offended easily, or don't know how to interpret what I'm going to say, look at it from my perspective. If you don't know what that means, you will in a moment. With that being said:

While I do not mind criticism, in fact, I encourage it otherwise I would not be where I am today in terms of my writing skill, what I do mind are people telling me what they think needs to happen in my story. First of all, I should not be the one who has to tell you how rude that is, no matter how unintentional that rudeness is. It makes you look entitled and disrespectful. I hate seeing it, and every time I see it, it makes me feel like those individuals are invalidating my writing. I put a lot of time, effort, and passion into this story. Time, effort, and passion I could be pouring into something else while I leave this to rot in eternal stagnation if I so choose. There have been a couple of times where I've actually considered that, due to a lot of people jumping to conclusions about certain things (I'm not going to name names, but you know who you are, and frankly I'm tired of it).

I do not care how well-intentioned it is, or if "you're just trying to help" when the reality is that you are not. At best, you're invalidating my process of writing and at worst, you're dragging my hard work through the mud by saying that [Insert something here] has to happen otherwise the story sucks and is "too dark" or what have you. If you truly feel that way, then damn, that sucks. I'm sorry you feel that way. But don't pretend to speak for others when you are not. It makes you look more important than you are in this context.

At the end of the day, we all have our opinions when it comes to All For Luz. Unfortunately, or fortunately, the only real opinion that matters is my own, because I'm the one writing this. If that makes me sound like a jackass, then so be it. I am sick and tired of people trying to leverage their opinion and making it seem like fact when you know nothing about what I have planned. The simple truth is that you can't assume what I plan to do, and say "this feels out of character" for a character that you don't fully know the arc of in the context of this story.

This is my work. This is my story. How I choose to write this story and the consequences that follow is entirely up to me, and I'm tired of pretending that it's not. I am open to suggestions, and I am open to opinions. Don't think for a second that's not what I'm saying. But when you're "opinion" is a vaguely worded demand don't be shocked that I start tweaking out and blowing a gasket on you. If that wasn't your intention, then learn to word things better, because otherwise that's how I'm going to take it. No hate toward you, or anything like that. But as I've said time and again, I am very defensive over my writing. If this doesn't prove that, then I don't know what will.

Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to go back to working on the next chapter. If what I've said here today has made you drop the story, then goodbye. If not, and you're going to stick around, then I'll see you in the next chapter. Have a good day.
