#I made a crack once that I bet Sam would the brothers Mat Tal’ysen and Lyam

[revvethasmythh]

I've believed Veth had four brothers for the longest time and have been baffled to see other people shocked by four boys in the origins comic. I just rewatched a scene where she mentions them and she sure does say THREE older brothers. Idk if there's another scene that I got four from, or I singlehandedly manifested a fourth brother or what. The greater and more pressing mystery for me though is what the fuck her parents were like

You manifested the fourth brother 😭 And like re: the brothers I wouldn’t be baffled by it and I’d just assume maybe Sam DID mean to say she had four (though, yeah, in the ep she specifies three brothers) except that only SOME panels have four and some panels have three so I’m just sitting here like. Samuel. Give me a definitive answer, how many ARE there

ALSO YES WHAT WERE HER PARENTS LIKE. If I have one disappointment with the comic, it’s that we never got to see her parents at all, because WHAT must that dynamic be like? The only reference we get is that one of Veth’s brothers says, “Mom will be pissed if [Veth] comes home crying again,” which doesn’t really tell us much except that her mom (Ashlee, lest we ever forget that is canonically her mom’s name) is aware (? presumably?) that the boys are bullying her. It’s possible she was unaware of the severity of the bullying and Veth was either too afraid of her brothers to risk retribution from them by snitching or she DID tell her mom, who wrote it off as an overreaction because Veth was scared of everything anyway. And her father (*sigh* T’ravys) is never mentioned at all! But Veth clearly has no fond memories of her home life full stop, from her POV it was all shit, so I have to assume either her parents weren’t gems themselves or simply never appropriately intervened to help her. Perhaps both! I don’t know! Sam, please give us a full breakdown of her parents and their relationships with Veth because what the FUCK
