HEY! HEY YOU! YOU UPDATED YOUR PAGE TWENTY-SIX MINUTES AGO! TUMBLR TOLD ME SO! GIVE ME YOUR PERCAHLIA BRAINROT!
Haha, gladly! Buckle in, because the brainrot has been going for weeks now and will not stop. Currently, I’m stuck on their journey to the Water Ashari, where Vex and Percy have the most heartfelt conversation about what they heard during their respective resurrection rituals. Percy basically says that in space of limbo he was stuck in while Orthax was feasting on his soul he could only hear pure noise and feel pain and he’s tried so hard to not put the experience into words but now he is putting it into words, for Vex, because she deserves the full truth of the offerings that called him back during his ritual. He tells her that he had: “great motivation to live a long life”, which just makes me want to go fucking feral because on a meta level Vex rolled true love’s natural 20 and Tal specifically said that he told Matt to text him because if they didn’t say what Percy wanted to hear, he just fully wouldn’t come back, good resurrection rolls be damned, but despite Pike’s plea for the gods to save him (which was something he explicitly wouldn’t have wanted), Vex told him she loved him and she needed him back, and Percy was called back anyways for her.
He was ready to let everything go: his sister, his home, his found family and all the friends he’d made, because he was done and he was tired and he felt like he’d completed his journey and earned his tragic end, and he even preemptively wrote what essentially functioned as a suicide note for the occasion. But he didn’t die, he came back anyways, and, almost 20 full episodes after the resurrection ritual and exactly 15 episodes after he and Vex first kissed in the snow, he admits to her in this quiet moment on the ship that he heard her. And it was the only thing he heard.
This contrasts directly with the ritual itself, where after being brought back he thanked Keyleth, saying: “I saw what you did, it was the only thing I saw”, referring to how Kiki severed him from Orthax, but he also explicitly states that he couldn’t hear her, he just saw her hand reach out. And when she hears it you can just see Laura play it brilliantly, because Vex looks so dejected as he says it in that scene post resurrection. She’s so full of this sudden grief at something she’s barely had but already lost, which was her confession of love to him because he just said he only saw Keyleth, and that means he doesn’t remember Vex’s plea for his life. But he did remember, and it was the only thing he remembered and the only thing that mattered. But he didn’t tell her not because of any time he needed to consider if he felt the same way, because he was already head over heels just like she was; he didn’t say anything because she just bore her heart in front of all their friends, all their family, and he didn’t want to put her on the spot like that.
“I never would have hoped... you’re far too wonderful for an idiot. I treasure every minute”. Percy knows and Vex knows that he was very well almost gone for good, and Vex saved his life by calling out to him the way she did. He never would have hoped she felt the same way, he never would have hoped the heart she was referring to when confronting Saundor was his, but he treasures every minute they have together because they both know what they could have lost, and after the Thordak, Raishan, and second Raishan fight, this is even more potent because they both either went to death saves or outright died and had to be revivified. And she treasures every moment right back. They’re so deeply in love, and they have such an immense respect for each other that as soon as Vex asks at the top of the scene what he heard during his resurrection Percy instantly catches on that she’s both probably curious about Scanlan’s ritual, but also still feeling insecure about him not mentioning her contribution, and the entire subsequent scene is basically him both working through the remnants of trauma from the experience but also laying it out in an considerate way for her, and apologizing for any pain he caused.
And then they get drunk and imply they’re going to have sex in a closing line. It’s peak Perc’ahlia and it makes me go insane

There are two conflicting sides inside Neuvillette as far as his psyche goes. To him, Scylla is himself in a past life he has many gaps to fill for over 400 years until he recovers his authority and his nature as a dragon makes him look at this world from a grander perspective and to its inhabitants as per the proportion and impact on the world they have. What concerns his draconic side, death doesn't move him. It's part of the natural cycle of this world and just as death happens, so a new life is bound to be born. He as an entity akin to a God of Life knows this better than anyone, as insulting as it would be addressing to him as anything remotely similar to what the Usurper brought with himself.
Given his special circumstances due to his authority over hydro, Neuvillette has a deep sentience over others' emotions. In his past life when he was exceedingly older, these emotions ceased to have any effect on him, his nerves were more steeled. Because of his understanding of the world and all living creatures within it, as Scylla he had learned to acknowledge these emotions without letting himself be affected by them unless exceptions occurred.
But it is not so the case for Neuvillette, both when he had yet to reclaim his authority over hydro and afterwards. While his draconic nature continues to permeate his being, a new variable was added the moment he was reborn as human: humanity. And because of this humanity he now has, all those emotions he senses from all manners of water are more intense than they would if he was a dragon as he originally was. Learning about humans by living among them accentuates the intensity with which he feels the emotions of others, because he understands them— unlike when he used to be Scylla, as his understanding was more limited and enshrouded with draconic pride and hatred towards anything related to the Usurper. Nevertheless, despite everything Scylla was no tyrant and united with humans for one same purpose, as Neuvillette has for 400 years.
Because he's used to feel the emotions of others and because of what they transmit to him, Neuvillette struggles with his own emotions. In addition to his struggle to belong, being a creature in between dragon and human, doubts plague him within his process of learning about himself concerning his nature, what he should do with his life and where he should belong. Feeling his own emotions and with a bigger intensity than he would as Scylla is a novelty even if he were to count with all the memories of his past life that makes more difficult to understand himself. Though his pride as a dragon still remains, it's not out of sense of pride and superior complex that he doesn't understand himself— but because no matter how hard he tries, he doesn't.
Even after he imparts judgement over the humans of Fontaine to rid them of the curse, and even after he makes peace with himself that in truth, he belongs to both realms (human and light/vishap/dragon), figuring himself out will be a consuming exercise that he will have to endure for more years to come. Until then, were he asked what or who he is, he would lay an answer every time.
He's just Neuvillette.

seriously can’t get over the transporter room scene. hemmer is addicted to light despite having no concept of light because his entire species is blind so he’s just like fuck it. molten rock is said to be bright, let me drill into this planet’s core for my new personal pillow pet. then when his boss asks him what’s happening, he corrects her not once but twice on the logistics (“You're transporting a piece of the planet's core?” “Mantle, to be precise.” and “It’s 1,000 degrees. It'll kill you.” “More like 10,000”). his boss has to shoot him and then carry him to sickbay like a parent would carry a tantruming child out of the grocery store.

okay i’m actually busy this evening so i need to do this properly later but just as i’ve been thinking about my output on this website i want to say that, as a white adult
a) please tell me if anything i reblog is harmful to any communities. i work to educate myself but given my privilege there is no doubt that some things slip through and i would like to know so i can educate myself further and not make similar mistakes in the future
b) this should go without saying but if you support bab or racism in any shape or form, unfollow me, block me, whatever. same goes if you’re a proshipper. output of this sort of content actively harms various communities and i do not wish to be associated with such.
c) if you are a minor, please unfollow/softblock me. nothing against y’all - some of the strongest voices in speaking out against racism on spnblr have been minors and you guys are very kind and bright. but the past day has got me thinking about my personal output on here, and i’ve realized i would rather not be responsible for some of the material you guys see. i was a fifteen year old on tumblr once, so i totally get it (and i certainly bent rules to see adult material at that age). however, since i’m in my mid twenties now, i simply do not want to contribute to the potential output of explicit material to minors who may follow me. also i know i’m bad at remembering to tag m/dni. thus i’d rather have a blanket rule. really no hard feelings i hope.
