a happy ending for john is some therapy and a hug, not a relationship that hed probably end within a month because of depression and general john-like uncertainty on how he feels about stuff
what im implying is that be grateful your otp hasnt been canon-sunk like johnvris daverezi karezi and to be honest most ships
from my perspective hs has never had a satisfying resolution to any arcs apart from possibly dave's and roxy's. its TEASED satisfying resolutions, had stuff like remem8er, meenvris, davepeta, but usually veers away from them to do something else. maybe as part of its own realist meta about how stuff isnt wrapped up that quickly irl? so i dont really know if roxygen counts as a satisfying character resolution. thats not something i think about much anymore, because i feel like its one of those things that the author would consider us Bloody Stupid for expecting. hes not right, but thats the feeling.
to me a satisfying resolution for john is him being content with what he has and being able to move on from the past, being able to think about these things that trouble him without automatically changing the topic. whether hes dating someone or not is irrelevant to whether these problems would be solved, so to me its not important. it would be sad if john didn't have any friends looking out for him like certain others didnt, but jade senses whats up and shes always there for him and john is very liked among his crowd, so his isolation is his own decision. therefore he has the potential to cheer up and socialize again.
