Dr. Tsundere *Read right to left. *"A room you can't leave unless you do xx"（〇〇しないと出られない部屋）is common trope in Japanese fandom, but I don't know how well known it is abroad. Hope you enjoy this ridiculous setting!

hrghh another long and difficult day... TUMBLR!! fetch me a photo of The Fictional Character .....

[chynandri]

I really enjoy ratio’s hair but just in these images where I feel it looks the most ‘correct’. A lot of the characters got the typical cropped or layered hairstyles but he’s just got these, what I would describe as, long luscious locks that are wonderfully wavy. And it’s got a certain roundness and poofiness to it that unfortunately doesn’t seem to always make it into official art. Anyway this has been a ratio appreciation post

One thing that really gets me about Urianger comforting Minfilia in Amh Araeng is that when she says Thancred hates her, Urianger never actually says, no, he doesn't. He says instead, none of this is your fault, and the original Minfilia wouldn't hold anything against you, and in typical Urianger form he says some things about fate and faith, and his words are kind and beautiful--but he also completely sidesteps the question of how Thancred feels about her.

And I think this moment is very reflective of Urianger's relationship to Thancred and child!Minfilia as a whole. It reflects what we see when we first see all of them together in Il Mheg.

Urianger knows that the way Thancred behaves toward the girl is hurting her. He's spent enough time around the two of them to see that plainly. Theoretically, he could say something to Thancred about it; they're obviously close friends, and if Thancred was going to value anyone's opinion, it would be his. But he doesn't say anything, because he still feels guilty and responsible for all of it: about their Minfilia going to the First and what happened to her there, and thus for what both Thancred and child!Minfilia are going through now. Even though Thancred has never outright blamed him for it (however he may feel privately, which I think is hard to say), it seems like Urianger still feels like he has no right to say anything.

So he tries to compensate instead. He's kind to Minfilia, connects with her in his own way and gives her books, and by the time we see them together he's obviously become something of a familial figure to her. I would say that he and Thancred aren't so much raising her together as they're doing it... around one another. Thancred is gruff and cold and holds Minfilia at arm's length emotionally so that his protectiveness comes off harshly even when it's well-meant, and Urianger dotes on her and tries to make up for it all while avoiding the actual problem.

So that conversation in Amh Araeng is both touching and maddening to me, and it really drives home what's maddening about it when, upon overhearing it, the Warrior of Light turns to Thancred to ask him if he has anything to say to Minfilia--who has just said, out loud, that she thinks Thancred wishes she was dead--and Thancred just says, "Not today."

And so they both go on avoiding the actual problem, for just a little longer.

Skeb style comm for @ spritz_z on twitter! I wanted to play up Thancred's flirtatious side with this, I feel like that'd never go away no matter how old he gets or how in love he is 🥰 Thank you for commissioning me!
