First off: feel free to go ahead with this! We think it's a great idea, and it fits a lot of what Stephen was trying to do before the Aerie, especially given the fact that Judas turned his self-sacrificing tendencies against him in the simulation. Even though the Aerie is still fresh in people's minds, the simulation wasn't so long ago. So, Stephen going back to his roots will help him a lot.
Secondly: responses will be mixed. At first, it will be a matter of positive response, which might be a pleasant surprise for Stephen. That is, until this whole thing starts trending and drawing in more eyes. If you're familiar with Instagram or Twitter comments, you'll probably be able to imagine that the longer the quote-retweet-like function, reply function, and so forth continues to be used, there will be people coming in and making snide responses about Stephen's intentions, as well as the Cardinals as a whole. But on the flipside, there will be people realizing that this kind of response is unfair. And … people bandwagoning the hate to dunk on Stephen's efforts. Either way, it's going to get a lot of exposure. More than anything, it will get people talking—starting with a local trend in New Amsterdam and eventually becoming a global one. Hopefully Stephen knows how to mute notifications for his sanity (and don't worry, that is an available function!).
How Stephen responds is up to you. Will he defend himself on the internet? Block unruly commenters? Retweet the positive-or-neutral responses to try to encourage discussion? Will he be looping in other Displaced to try to get them in on the action? And if so, what will they be doing? You can have him loop people in via a post, or you can plot it elsewhere and have people reply here. Either way, we're curious to know both Stephen's reactions and if anyone else is on board!
One thought we had was that this could easily collide with three other Cardinals' plots: Yennefer with her cult, Homelander's outreach to discharged UNA soldiers, and Loki's St. Augustine-like Confessions book. While these plots don't necessarily need to intersect, we think that, given that they'd be all developing simultaneously in real time, it would be neat to see how you guys would view this growing movement. We're also happy to work with you on this.
If you have any other questions or would like to see this go a different way, we're happy to make modifications that make the plot more interesting for you.
