Happily ever after - a borderlands animatic

[@anamuasau2615]

Lilith as Garnet made me tear up, but Tiny Tina as Amethyst absolutely wrecked my shit.

[@blazedoge]

yea same except its hard to feel bad for lilith after well ya know she was the final betral that led to jack becoming himself, if anything i feel the worst for jack, being cursed with all that knowledge, feeling like he had to use his own daughter for something so terrible just to save the world

Wouldn't Jack also be kinda fitting? You know, seeing as how Lilith & co betrayed him which basically led to him becoming a maniac.

okay, so I decided to make 'once upon a time' lyric for these characters, because I had spare time and why not hope you like them Maya: Once upon a time, we fought Hyperion and their endless battle Fighting all the time, when our odds to win had been so narrow But we never gave in As we try to win All because I had some friends who had my back We destroy the warrior and killed Handsome Jack, so Here we are in the future Rhys: Once upon a time, I want to be the man who I admired Till the day I met him, an AI who was in my hardwire We became the two to rule but I know he was so far cruel and In the end, I had to let him go and so I learn my mistakes and now I’m a CEO, of Atlas Here we are in the future Lilith: Once upon a time, I arrived to Pandora to find Vault treasure The journey was so rough it gave all of us in a serious pressure But I had Roland And my heart was stolen He supported me to become who I am now And though he’s gone, he won’t be forgotten to this crowd, he knows that Here we are in the future Tina: Once upon a time, I was sold to be part of an experiment slaughter My parents got me out but had to say goodbye to their precious daughter I came out bad and alone through the waste on my own but I know now exactly who I want to be and it’s part of a new family
