So I'm on a bit of a Ni No Kuni kick recently, and it seems like there's a small community of fans here on tumblr. So, has anybody else here ever lost themselves in thought about how Lucien was really just some guy? He wasn't a sage, or descended from one, or any kind of royalty. He was probably some peasant dude who decided "yeah sure I'll study magic and become a soldier to protect my country" and was dragged into a war of aggression because of it. Literally just some dude. He was a practical nobody from a village that doesn't exist anymore in a country that hasn't survived to the present day who became one of the most powerful, feared figures in the entire other world, partly because he was functionally powerless to do anything else before he got that power of hatred and despair level up. Anybody else think about that sometimes? Because I do

#i will die for my little meow meow lucien #free him he did no wrong #he was only driven to such madness by the cruelty of the world he lived in #a cruelty that he was powerless to change or abate #or so he thought #shadar is peak sociological storytelling #shadar may have shaped the world #but it was the world that made shadar #or something equally cheesy #ni no kuni #anyways nnk tumblr hit me up if you like pitiable villains with a point #i feel like being into nnk when i was a kid singlehandedly influenced my entire taste in blorbos to this day #also if i missed some crucial lucien lore element that only exists in dominion of the dark djinn then that sucks ig #because sadly i dont have the time to get into it
