thought about ryoga shindai too much
#no one gets him like i do#do you understand that he grew up being taught to repress his feelings and to distrust people outside the guild and devote himself entirely#to his duty? do you get that he isn't capable of making connections due to his isolation and devotion?#do you get that he's awkward due to it being drilled into him that he must remain stoic and cold?#do you get that him wanting reika not to be a swordsman stems from her being the only solid connection he has in the world and he doesn't#want anything bad to happen to her? do you get that they have codependency issues that were built up as a method of control?#do you understand that ryoga craves kindness? but he cannot say it so openly that he cannot stray completely from his teachings and from th#way he has been brought up? no it is far too complicated and the poison runs deep but he's trying and he's healing and god does he want#reika to be able to heal and live peacefully#she's his sister so he wants her to be safe but she wants him to be safe too bc they're family and they're all each other has had for a lon#time but they are going to branch out and become less dependent and learn what it means to be their own people it's just going to take time#i have a lot of thoughts about this like ik they get watered down to just have complexes but i really feel it's far deeper than that#i also feel ryoga has some biases to reflect upon but that's another story#kr saber lb#kr lb#umbrella.thoughts#umbrella.posts
