i hope every trans girl in the world feels so so so loved.

this includes the girls who have just started their transition, the girls who have been transitioning for years, the old girls, the young girls, the sex workers, the ones who are struggling and the ones who are trying to help, the ones who aren't just a girl, the ones who are only sometimes girls, the ones who aren't really girls but are close enough, the ones who aren't really human, the ones who might might not be just one person, the ones who keep their girlhood secret, and the ones who don't yet know they're girls.

every single one of you.

i love you.

CanNOT stop thinking about how Adolin lost:

His leg

His father

His best friend

Maybe his aunt/step-mother

Maybe his wife

The most important thing to Ros is being useful to others. She needs to be needed more than anything, and she will give her entire being in pursuit of this singular goal. She's also an emotionally driven person, which means that appeals to logic simply do not work on her. This is how you ended up with a Ros who is regularly offering up her life to others. She certainly has good reason to view her life as acceptable collateral to get things done; her twice over death is what finally got Clown to duel Pili, after all. If she thinks the best way to be useful to Bad is to let him kill her, then she will gladly allow it. Aimsey and Bad deal with the consequences of her mindset the most frequently because they often play devil's advocate with her belief system, but they rely on logic based arguments when they do. You cannot appeal to logic with someone who thinks with their heart. The reason Clown can convince her in a single afternoon what neither Aimsey nor Bad can over a period of weeks is because he appeals to her emotions. 

The key is not just giving her tasks to do, but to make her believe she is the only one who can fulfill those duties. You can't point to the castle alone as a reason she is needed when Bad has built a cathedral double the size of it twenty chunks away. However if you give her a task in secret, well now she's the only person who can complete that task, isn't she? Clown can't ask someone else to help him train if the only person he trusts with the task is Ros. Now she has to stay alive to help him train, because there isn't anyone else that can do it. And if you found a secret society alongside her...

What's interesting about the League of Secret Alchemists and the way it functions to give Ros reasons to live is that it isn't just Clown and his similarly emotion based reasoning that works. Sneeg also effectively communicates his need for her to live, despite being a more logic based individual. He does this by utilizing emotionally charged language to make logic based points. Above all else, Ros cares about the Kingdom, but you can't convince her of her importance by telling her the castle she built is the most significant symbol of the Kingdom. Instead you tell her that she IS the Kingdom. Now there's an association in her head that harm done to her is harm done to the Kingdom itself.

When she helps him in some way with one of his projects he praises her in an over-exaggerated way that resonates with her (calling her "my hero" for having amethyst on hand for the calibrated sensors). And because Sneeg is such an intensely private person, by drawing her into the fold of who gets to know about it and help him with it, he is making her an integral part of the process, irreplaceable to him and thus to herself as well. It's so effective he can even do this with projects that are primarily about protecting her without it triggering her guilt complex. In his desire to contribute to the Kingdom��synonymous, in Sneeg's mind, with Ros—he is giving her another way to feel needed by her closest companions.

YES YES ALL OF THAT THANK YOU FOR PUTTING IT INTO WORDS AND FINDING THE SCENES I think those were exactly the scenes I was thinking about but failing to recall in specifics (the "you seem more fragile" scene and the owl scene) and I hadn't even fully consciously connected it to his own comments about not being able to be broken mentally, just kinda a vague subconscious sense that his perspective on this was somehow effected by him not being entirely "human", or at least seeing himself as not fully human

also. also when you say that he feels like he shouldn't care about witnessing horrific things, not after everything he's forced others to go through as the king... do- do you think he feels at all- like. guilty. that he could do all that and then like. if he did so much harm to others, what right does he have feeling bad about "less horrific" things happening to him? if he's done worse to others, he can't just. need comfort. after all that. like. on top of it making him feel so much smaller than he once was, being such a blatant demonstration of all he's lost, and a terrifying reminder of how vulnerable he is now, how little he can do, and now, how little he can cope with and even fully comprehend.

and just. john and his fear of being small, and weak, and useless. because his mind is all he has, if he can't control it, if he can't use that to keep himself... augh

he's already had to give up on lies and threats and manipulation to force control of a situation to protect himself, and now he's having to grapple with the fact that he is small and vulnerable and scared, and that he has to accept and process that, because lying to himself and Arthur about it hasn't worked

I kinda get the vibe from John that he considers most of what has happened to them over the course of the podcast to be Arthur's trauma, not his own. As if the fact that he's not the one to physically take the punches thrown at them, physically gouging out people's eyes to survive, that Arthur is taking the brunt of most of it, somehow cancels out the trauma of helplessly witnessing it all, unable to stop or directly influence it in any way, while having just as much risk to his life as to Arthur's.

Like, he understand the Dark World, and having to keep secrets from Arthur, and loosing Noel as bad things that happened to him, and that he has to deal with and process, but I get the impression that he hasn't really extended the same logic to very many of the other traumas that they've both mutually experienced, that Arthur experienced directly and he had to watch

not sure if I could find evidence to support this or not, as I haven't had the chance to look yet, but it's a thought I've had during a few different scenes
