Eren/ville’s abandonment issues are why he’s going to have a hard time when the next adventure hits

[lilas]

1000% I definitely agree with you that he has a fear of abandonment.

He calls childhood friends “childhood/long standing acquaintances”. He prefers (or preferred) traveling alone, and thus doesn’t need to rely on people. And he kept his fear and anxiety during the later half of Dawntrail bottled up tight, even choosing to walk off by himself and be alone during Living Memory.

Cahciua says he was dour and withdrawn as a child, but if he’s used to be left behind well, any child would struggle to make close connections.

Your point about his father being absent is a good one. It was pointed out to me by friends that Shetona men are nomadic and are encouraged to have multiple families, but I don’t think that means just abandoning one family in favor of another???

Much to ponder.

So funny to me that Erenville tries to keep his wants and desires hidden when we know him (I think that’s changing a bit though—growth!!) but he’a so obvious about it as a kid lmao.

That was my wondering too, like was she even in the city with him LOL. Knowing her she might have been actively participating and probably told him to stay at the palace.

Appalachian Gothic is distinct from just the blanket Southern Gothic description; Holler Gothic is not Swamp Gothic, y’all.

Southern Gothic generally conjures images of swamps and Spanish moss and old plantation houses in disrepair while their inhabitants refuse to admit the sins of their fathers and grandfathers upon those they enslaved. Southern Gothic is fallen grandeur and secrets.

Appalachian Gothic is ancient mountains and forests, old cabins in the middle of a sea of trees, Things That Are Not Deer moving across backroads, the ghosts of coal miners and the ghosts of the original natives each haunting the hills. Appalachian Gothic is lonely darkness and biding time.

The memes are funny but tbh I can’t bring myself to find actual humor in this considering it’s actually so sad when you consider the fact that this was just like?? So fast?? Like do people realize how fast it is to find the guy in one week (assuming Mangione is even the right guy). Like that’s fast. Like that’s proof that the “justice system” can be fast - but only where white multimillionaire CEOs are concerned

Actually I have growing thoughts about this.

Cachiua is a great character but she was not a great mother. I think she struggled at times to have a typical “mother/child” relationship with Erenville. This is why, in a highly emotional context for both of them, they defaulted to the mentor/mentee relationship they have to express their emotions in a shared language.

And when Cahciua would leave Erenville would get “fussy” about it, but it never stopped Cahciua from leaving him, and she never let him come on her adventures. And I just… think it caused Erenville to try not to want anything? Or try not to express this want?

She says he was always “fussy” when she left, but wouldn’t any child get upset if their closest guardian left them for extended periods of time? Wouldn’t the absence eat them up inside? Wouldn’t anyone try to hide those emotions if they were teased or called fussy?

…anyway.

So funny to me that Erenville tries to keep his wants and desires hidden when we know him (I think that’s changing a bit though—growth!!) but he’a so obvious about it as a kid lmao.
