Thinking about thancred at 5am I guess
#owen plays ffxiv
#i love the characters arcs for so many of the ffxiv characters but
#Thancred’s is I just think he’s neat territory
#he’s introduced as the whole flirty subterfuge sort of character with a touch of womanizer. guy likes things in life and there’s this
#not quite smug but he’s a guy who knows himself
#but you get more into things and you uncover his relationship with Minfilia and his kinship with her and the duty he feels towards her
#but you know from the start that there’s a reason why he’s with the scions. why he has the neck tattoos
#please don’t make look them up along w the twins grandfather’s name
#but he was chosen for a reason and I dare say that thancred as a character is one especially shaped by those around him
#being a kid growing up on nothing and being taken in by all these people. these pseudo family units over his life
#he’s got this strong sense of duty towards Minfilia and Louis something don’t make me say it
#especially towards Minfilia who he had something of a hand in raising her
#as a way to repay her losing her family (by his own perceived lack of being able to stop the tradegy from occurring)
#if there’s one of several things I wanted more out of ARR in retrospect it’s more fleshing out the two of them
#which we do kinda get right at the end of the warriors of darkness bit and later in ShB
#definitely in ShB
#which that expac takes what we know of thancred and turns it into….all that happens l
#his complex relationship with ryne. his difficulties with coming to terms with minifilia’s fate in front of him through ryne
#who is very much her own character and her responses to thancred
#his hesistancy and closed off tendencies in the face of loss
#her perception of his dislike of her because she isn’t ‘his Minfilia’ and the conversation he had with the real Minfilia in Arang
#she just others herself so much. distances herself so much from her existence. comparing herself to the real Minfilia
#the whole of her saying the real Minfilia is just. YEAH
#no doubt her life is much better with thancred but there’s such this back and forth
#going on with him in his perception of her and his own inability to let go of the past
#those feelings of how he didn’t do enough for minifilia. the letting her down the feeling like he didn’t do enough for her l
#him and ryne are so….gosh they’re so wonderful
#thancred is such a nice character with how he’s…steeped in having/benefiting from someone to Follow
#someone to care for. someone to protect which feels so natural looking at his life
#it’s all through the lens of duty but never resentful duty
