fucked up that dropping gillion off for his training was done as unceremoniously as it was btw. it wasn't some grand goodbye, they didn't do anything special that day for their little boy -- it was just gillion and his father. his sister, his mother, his grandfather, they weren't there. it was just gillion, his father, and a quiet, possibly several day long trip to the capital. it was just gillion and his father at the steps of the palace, just his father that saw the big smile on his face, heard the little boy's promises of telling them everything when he got home. no one had even bothered explaining what was going on to him. he had to figure it out on his own, when papa never came back.

#obviously gill has /loads/ of mommy AND daddy issues #but i think the simple fact that it was reed and reed alone that brought him to the palace #is why his daddy issues are SO prevalent #like hes called SO many people “papa” (as opposed to “mom”; which hes only /really/ used for aster and lunadeyus)#and its just. auauaaggdhghg #he doesnt necessarily think about falyn and reed as his own parents anymore; he asks edyn about their wellbeing like she isnt his sister #(referring to them as “The parents” rather than “Our parents”)#but hes so desperate for that parental connection. he always has been.#and it makes me. emotional.#i want to meet his parents. i want HIM to meet his parents.#i want him to have the opportunity to build a relationship with them #or to find some kind of closure; at the very least.#jrwi riptide #jrwi #jrwi show #just roll with it #gillion tidestrider #jrwi gillion
