One thing that really gets me about Urianger comforting Minfilia in Amh Araeng is that when she says Thancred hates her, Urianger never actually says, no, he doesn't. He says instead, none of this is your fault, and the original Minfilia wouldn't hold anything against you, and in typical Urianger form he says some things about fate and faith, and his words are kind and beautiful--but he also completely sidesteps the question of how Thancred feels about her.

And I think this moment is very reflective of Urianger's relationship to Thancred and child!Minfilia as a whole. It reflects what we see when we first see all of them together in Il Mheg.

Urianger knows that the way Thancred behaves toward the girl is hurting her. He's spent enough time around the two of them to see that plainly. Theoretically, he could say something to Thancred about it; they're obviously close friends, and if Thancred was going to value anyone's opinion, it would be his. But he doesn't say anything, because he still feels guilty and responsible for all of it: about their Minfilia going to the First and what happened to her there, and thus for what both Thancred and child!Minfilia are going through now. Even though Thancred has never outright blamed him for it (however he may feel privately, which I think is hard to say), it seems like Urianger still feels like he has no right to say anything.

So he tries to compensate instead. He's kind to Minfilia, connects with her in his own way and gives her books, and by the time we see them together he's obviously become something of a familial figure to her. I would say that he and Thancred aren't so much raising her together as they're doing it... around one another. Thancred is gruff and cold and holds Minfilia at arm's length emotionally so that his protectiveness comes off harshly even when it's well-meant, and Urianger dotes on her and tries to make up for it all while avoiding the actual problem.

So that conversation in Amh Araeng is both touching and maddening to me, and it really drives home what's maddening about it when, upon overhearing it, the Warrior of Light turns to Thancred to ask him if he has anything to say to Minfilia--who has just said, out loud, that she thinks Thancred wishes she was dead--and Thancred just says, "Not today."

And so they both go on avoiding the actual problem, for just a little longer.

Nobody asked, but I made it to the top of Kugane Tower today. It has taken me six months because I suck at parkour. I'm too scared to try and jump to the lamppost.

My FFXIV Stuff

I decided to move it here:  izasffxiv.tumblr.com

So should you want to see random posts about my OC’s, perhaps one day, short stories about them all, then this is the place you now find them. I decided I wanted my sims stuff and my ffxiv stuff separate after a weekend of much pondering.

Yet another reason Ysayle should have lived is she ends up being such a major piece of foreshadowing for the truth about Hydaelyn. Ysayle summoning Shiva into herself is the first piece of evidence we get that a person can become a primal, which is the setup for the eventual reveals of Hydaelyn and Zodiark's true nature. For her to be there when we finally meet Hydaelyn in the aetherial sea? It would have been an amazing full circle moment.

Also I think that as a treat Ysayle should have gotten to mutter under breath, "Oh, but everyone made a fuss when I did it."

CAT! I've legitimately never acquired an EX mount while it was still current content. So I didn't expect to have a cat until after DT or, realistically, beyond that! Very grateful to the peeps I run with for these. Of course I won the roll the night I flubbed the most mechanics. I don't even know how I managed that!? I watched the guide video so many times today you have no idea haha. I think maybe I got too caught up trying to learn too many times and wasn't reacting fast enough. I'm sure the last couple things I'm hung up on will click for me the very last night.
