what I like about the portrayal of juazz’s friendship is that despite all the deep love and care they obviously have for each other, there’s also this realistic miscommunication and misconception of each other’s circumstances.

it just feels very natural given they both have very troubled backgrounds and already had enough on their plates with their own struggles, while growing up codependently in an unstable environment.

jugo has learned to survive by hiding his thoughts and emotions, instead dutifully following orders to survive poverty, his parents’ absence and the (sexual) abuse by his uncle, which prevents him from ever developing his own agency.

bazz, on the other hand, initially comes from a noble family and is naturally very prideful. after losing both his parents and his home to ywach’s troupes, however, he primarily expresses his hurt through a burning anger (pun intended).

while they silently agree to join the sternritter to kill ywach, they’re actually on different terms regarding their feelings of ywach himself as bazz truly resents ywach for robbing him of his home. but jugo doesn’t have an actual reason to hate him. on the contrary, ywach, in a way, has saved him from further abuse when he killed his uncle. jugo just follows along for bazz’s sake, but of course, they never explicitly talk about this.

bazz’s revenge plan consists of joining ywach’s forces with the final goal of killing him, however it’s important that he’s the hero in this scenario, that he is the one who gets chosen and takes revenge for his family - he never thinks of the possibility that jugo might be the chosen one. meanwhile jugo still has this misconception that it would be enough for bazz if one of them joins the sternritter, which is why he’s confused and saddened when he sees the displeased look on bazz face.

it’s clear that they both feel betrayed in their own ways, jugo because he recognizes jealousy in bazz’s expression and bazz because his best friend abandons him for ywach’s sake. yet they both continue to secretly care for each other.

jugo ignores his ongoing provocations, protects him from other sternritter and constantly carries a part of bazz with him (his old emblem to be exact). while in between all his anger, bazz tells him that he’d accept no one besides jugo as ywach’s successor or that he’d still believe him, if jugo told him he hadnt know about the recent auswählen process thus reassuring him that he hadnt betrayed bazz.

they don’t communicate well and grieve fundamentally different, yet after all these years, the love is still there.

If you have bodily autonomy, then there is always a chance that you will do something to your body that you will regret. This is not an argument for taking that autonomy away.

“The old magic persists thanks to it’s unfathomable power.”

No, the old magic persists because the new magic can’t run the legacy spells I need to do my job, and keeps trying to install spirits I don’t want or need onto my orb.
