Remembers Tali exists and starts wailing and crying
#rat rambles#oc posting#eternal gales#Ive been on the new game+ brainstorming grind but I am now taking a brief tali interlude because song that makes me think of her popped up#just aughhhh. her clinging on so hard to the vague fuzzy memories of different members of her family and longing to have had them in her#life and just. the fact that her grandpa never made any attempts to stay in contact. the fact that aris spent years actively avoiding her.#like I love those two very dearly but Man were they Not there for tali like at All. and they Could have been. tali :(#like no they did not know that tali was going through the fucking horrors but her grandpa at least could have made an effort#like he knows his ex wife is. not the best at maintaining safe environments for children. he could have made an educated guess.#Im sure he would love to see tali again and would love to be in her life but he always saw it as her grandmas choice#which to be clear she is also to blame for. so much of the shit tali went through even if she never directly harmed tali#like woman dont bring your grandchild to a place that you Know is supernaturally unstable and dangerous. c'mon.#well shes dead now so even if she wanted to ruinite tali with the rest of her family she never will. bummer.#aris should be greatful the worst of her bad sister quota grind was when she was like 14 aka pre comic#shes not necessarily the best sister ever within the actual comic but at least shes actually trying for most of it#and I do tend to go a smidge easy on her since she and tali are like. a year apart.#unfortunately that's just the concequence of the fact that their ages were decided before I made them siblings#I have considered aging one of them up or down a smidge in the past but its too important to their backstory that theyre close in age#if I do ever change their ages itll be because of a general cast wide age up but I dont plan on doing that for now#Ive definitely considered it and am trying to be open to the idea of tweaking some ages at some point but idk#Im pretty happy with their ages atm I just had a bit where I wasnt super sure if I wanted to keep committing to them#I think I am tho I just needed to get used to seeing them from the lense of an adult instead of a teen whos projecting#which I did a while ago its done wonders for helping me develop tali and aris especially better#it Is kind of sad not rly having any ocs atm that I can rly project onto but theres positives to it too#mainly that I feel like it helps me not wallow in my own issues too much which can be nice#I rly needed the space to explore different aspects of myself as a teenager but nowadays Im trying to not get lost in my own head as much#I more or less know who I am and what my issues are and I dont rly care as much abt analysing myself nowadays#so I find myself more drawn to writing characters that are very different from me bonus points if they fucking suck <3
