I do believe I shall make a thread of dumb Shadowbringers doodles

the curse of knowing some things but not all

can I go home

the good news is we smell like rose petals the bad news is everything else

it's okay we can always buy another nectarine

This is basically what happened in Garlemald, right?

WoL: Zenos just asked if I want to “fell the mighty before their time and display their carcasses in our homes”?

Varis: He’s asking if you want to cut down Starlight trees.

WoL: Oh, that makes more sense.

Gaius and Varis

Trying to think of a proper annotated post about how "Gaius being mad about watching Varis get murdered in front of him isn't really a 'gotcha' on how much he has/hasn't changed or is/isn't a terrible person still."

Gist is that watching someone you've known for decades--probably watched grow up, worked alongside, or even mentored (given the 10 year age diff), feel some sense of kinship to and obligation for, even if they are themselves terrible and have fallen off the deep end, especially after living your whole lives in the same crappy abusive system that you're only just starting to see how mucked up it was on purpose--get murdered in front of you while powerless to stop it (like how he was powerless to stop Lahabrea casting Ultima) is going to be upsetting, regardless of how else you're feeling about everything going on and how much you might be changing, or have changed already.

And it's another step on the road toward further changes cuz now what, when the plan to expedite stopping all these terrible things by going to the top and using your familiarity to try and reason with the Emperor has been thwarted by a murderhobo who's picked up Ascian powers of his own?

Human emotions are complicated enough when we have to deal with death in our own real lives (hopefully not often, or responsible for others, or unable to prevent those around us). There's difficult relationships all over.

Amp it up in fiction for some morally dubious characters in wild situations for the drama, and it's getting more complex.

And I've touched on Gaius's reaction before too, in a paragraph in another post response. So maybe I don't need to repeat too much more there.

That doesn’t mean it was an immediate or easy road, which Werlyt is a more recent and visible part of. Nor that he’s less of a patriot who wants to fix what’s wrong with his homeland (especially after finding out how they’ve all been toys of the Ascians for the better part of a century). Nor discounts the fact that he would have known and fought beside Varis as a soldier and fellow Legatus, and probably respected him. It doesn’t negate his respect for the position of Emperor, which defined much of Gaius’ younger life and why his custom weapon is named Heirsbane. I don’t see being upset by Varis’ assassination in front of his face as a contradiction to his growth; if anything, it may have hastened some of his change, with the Empire in utter disarray and the nobles and Legati tearing the place apart for sheer greed and power for awhile.

For some reason Varis ordered a whole truckload.

Some Galvus dump

Finished Shadowbringers some time ago and read Eorzea Academy. I can't stop thinking about Galvus Family in modern setting. I hope someday there's parent meeting and Varis appear in school...

Kid Zenos because I can
