“Peter.”
The boy can’t even look Tony in the eye. Not because he’s afraid, but because he’s tired. Defeated. The most he does is glance at his mentor like a sad, curious puppy.
Tony can only smile.
“You’re doing great,” he tells him.
Peter looks surprised to hear that, as he raises his head a little and actually gazes at the man.
“I know you don’t believe it with how much you’ve been dealing with,” Tony details. “You might think you’re failing, but I see your effort. You’re a hero both at school and at home… and well, everywhere. And I’m proud of you.”
It’s like Peter hasn’t heard these words in forever.
Because his eyes grow deep, his lips quiver, he begins shaking. Tony can tell there’s a lot of pain in there, as Peter covers his mouth once he starts sobbing, so he doesn’t make much noise.
Tony kneels in front of the kid, opening his arms. Peter immediately launches himself towards him, hugging him so desperately, and sobbing so much that it must hurt. Tony hates imagining how long Peter must have kept it to himself. How long has he felt like a failure?
Peter is so much more than “good enough”.
He’s doing great, amazing, even.
And the kid needs to remember that more often.
Tony will make sure of that.

Ultimately it's very funny to me the "character xyz did nothing wrong actually!" fans of every character that gets any degree of hate. OK. Sure. Have you considered though that it's vastly more entertaining and interesting if they *did* do something wrong though?
Said it before I think to sun and sage, and this isn't to pick specifically on Caithe fans, but-- blah blah, never ask a man his salary a woman her age or a Caithe-did-nothing-wrong fan what happened to the centaur settlement in the Silverwastes in 1304 AE! She did help do a massacre there. That's pretty bad overall.
And yet I really like Caithe! I think she's fun and interesting and she's nice to get to know throughout the game. I think these two ideas of "Caithe Did Something Pretty Bad" and "I Like Her" can coexist. Like it's great that she doesn't massacre villages anymore overall but also I think it lends more to her character that she actively participated in this brutal act than if we pretend that she's got mega girl power but only when it's convenient to some morally upstanding end, and otherwise she was just completely at Faolain's dastardly whims. Somehow!
Something about how every character needs to be morally upright and can-do-no-wrong for us to like them, and if they're not they must repent and atone and seek the ultimate forgiveness-- overall it's all very christian in nature and boring and it sucks. You reinvented catholicism is what you did. You made Rytlock confess his sins eat a cracker and atone. You shouldn't do that, he's more interesting without doing that. Personally I think Rytlock should get another divorce and kill another son. And Eir should have also had more secrets she kept, and Caithe should steal a full baker's dozen of dragon eggs from me, and Braham should actually be even worse at handling grief and take it all out on the Commander. These are all what's known as conflict in a story. And they make it sooooo fun. It's almost 2 am, are you rocking with me⁉️

Hello! Out of pure curiousity, have you seen Sarcastic Chorus new Stolitz analysis video?
I-figured-i'd-ask-just-to-hear-other-people's-opinions-but-if-not-
What's your favorite Blitz moment?
Hi! I hadn't seen it—it's honestly been years since I've watched any videos from that channel—but I decided to check it out after I got this ask.
I only made it about 17 minutes in before I decided to close it because it just wasn't doing it for me.
Overall, the analysis was good. It was in-depth, connected the dots from different episodes, and delved into some of the problems in their "relationship" in a way that was thought-provoking. But... in my opinion, up to where I watched, it only painted half a picture and was more biased than I would like.
Personally, I don't have the energy to engage with any meta or analysis that only delves into the mistakes of one of the characters while portraying the other as a victim. That's the same reason why I've personally stopped watching Danny Mota's reaction videos, for example. I simply choose not to dedicate my time and mental energy to online content that posits either Blitz or Stolas as (however unwittingly) selfish, self-centered and completely powerful in the "relationship", and the other as a blameless victim who didn't deserve the way he was treated. I simply have bigger problems in my life and better things to spend my free time on.
My personal opinion (which I think is very clear if you look through my blog 😂) is that both Blitz and Stolas are traumatised and messed up characters, who are flawed in ways that are extremely human and relatable to the audience. And I'm not going to go more in-depth into my thoughts on them, because I'd rather do that when making my own meta posts out of excitement than as a commentary on someone else's review that annoyed me a little bit. But, yeah, my overall opinion on the part of the video that I watched was: not strictly incorrect, but biased, and framed in a way that doesn't make me want to dedicate more of my time to it.
As for my favourite Blitz moment... I have too many 😂 I really can't pick favourites. His whole existence is my favourite <333
