Owain, Sophia and Rob Being Chaotic

R: "Their costumes were lighter than mine, because mine was so heavy(!)

S: "EH?!"

O: "You're a little-" *slaps* "it was quite the opposite, he was in his pyjamas and we were wearing half of New Zealand on our backs."

Have you ever noticed that pretty much everybody in Shakespeare's histories is an awful parent? Now you can rank them according to your tastes in (bad) parenting with my tier list maker:

I probably forgot somebody (please tell me if I did) and also all of the parent-adjacent characters are included according to my personal tastes (mostly because Falstaff does a LOT of (weird) parenting and deserved a spot and then pulled a bunch of other people along with him).

Here's mine:

i don’t think the trauma hits owain/odin until after anankos is killed.

he never knew peace. he was so unbelievably young when the war started, as there was war before there were risen, that chances are, the only little bit of peace he’d ever seen was in the few months before anankos showed up and begged him, severa, and inigo for help, so he donned a persona and fit himself into the role of a retainer—another soldier, another fighter, just with a more refined name.

and then he fought for leo. he fought for garon. he fought the war, and perhaps he killed anankos along the way, or perhaps he and selena hoisted laslow’s body in a casket and used their crystals as odin bid farewell to his lord turned king. and then he returns home—wherever home is, whether it be ylisse or nohr—and is met with… peace.

if he stays in nohr, it takes longer to set in. there are still skirmishes, still reparations, still things that must settle down and things that he must manage by leo’s side. but as peace settles a blanket over nohr, as odin no longer has things to worry about every moment of every day, is no longer worrying about battle after battle or training or building up public trust—well, first come the nightmares, then the flashbacks, then the triggers.

if he goes to ylisse, it’s faster. ylisse has settled, by now, almost irregardless of how much time passed in ylisse versus nohr. there are no battles to fight, no wars to win. owain barely counts as a prince in the ylisse he returns to, with his counterpart already born or maybe, if the time is far different, simply on the way. there is little for him to do, and so the images of risen haunt him—whispers of their magic in dark corners, their eyes in the reflections of stained-glass windows, their rotten stench in the stables.

he is fine. he is fine, he is happy, he is healthy, he is stable. but then when everything he has built himself up around crumbles—when there is no longer a cause to fight for, no longer people who need protecting—he collapses, completely and utterly.

The man of action.

i don’t really ship owain with anyone in either game he’s in but he’s such a good dad to ophelia that i can’t imagine him not having her, and i had the idea yesterday that it’s severa he approaches about wanting a kid bc after their time in fateslandia with inigo the three of them are bonded for life anyway and she’s the only one he trusts with something like that

i've been making a bunch of custom sprites for Awakening over the last while

i'm mostly just doing these just for me to play with BUT at some point i will make a mod people can use to add all of them to their game. as well as just releasing the sprite files themselves for other people to use in their mods.

in the meantime, several of them have already been added to Project Thabes, a very good awakening overhaul mod that I'd recommend checking out

"I'm chronicling the saga of OWAIN DARK, avenger of righteous justice! It's a tale of blood and honor and me being generally awesome."

OPEN: owain (whose last name is very much NOT Dark) is an eccentric swordsman and mage, who dabbles in writing mainly his own adventures. his carefully crafted persona is a coping mechanism but good luck getting him to admit that.

Day 2 of OC-tober: New OC! This is Owain, he's a DND Ranger I made for a campaign that started at the beginning of this year. He's from a little village in the wilderness and is not used to being in the city and working in the local adventuring guild.

i do need a clearer explanation for how owain has avoided getting married thus far why is your 32-year old heir maidenless‼️ the lesbian seduction incident was like a decade ago who gaf anymore 🙄

it IS a major part of my trevelyan lore that martyn and rowena are (in)famous for having eloped, breaking off martyn's engagement since childhood to a different noblewoman (of higher status than rowena's family, but with fading influence/diminishing wealth; rowena's dad was a social climbing prosperous merchant who managed to marry into a not-very-impressive title and it was not an accident that his daughter got the trevelyan heir's attention). this story was popular and widely romanticized in the early years of their marriage but has since, uh, gone sour.

i think it might have influenced their own mindsets enough early on to not pair off their kids when they were young (and would YOU hitch your daughter to the boy who everyone says is the spitting image of his father, the guy well-known for not following through on his arranged marriage. r turning out to be a mage also wouldn't have calmed any qualms lol.)

owain has a... difficult relationship with his father where martyn kind of occupies both extremes of being overinvested in His Son And Heir, and then going strangely hands off and kind of letting him do whatever because 'the boy must come to understand these things himself'. he's never been quite sure whether dad approves of the whole dragon hunting business or not, and even less sure whether he wants his approval. so martyn has gone back and forth on the You Need To Get Married thing, but w rowena's insistence i think they found a fiancee for him in his teens when they'd left the Possible Mage Age Range, this being the one valerie lesbian seduced later on.

(might move that incident one or two years earlier in the timeline?? i'm being overly finicky abt my own oc lore that only matters to me.)

valerie definitely coached him like. ok eventually the scandal WILL die down and mother will be insistent on finding you a wife again. the story has to be that you were madly in love with your fiancee and heartbroken by her betrayal and you can never give your heart to another or trust any woman ever again. every now and then you should pretend that you're trying to find her and take her back or rescue her from whatever backwater chantry they've got her ministering at now. it's the perfect compelling romantic story that also makes you completely unmarriageable.

owain probably remembered half of this advice at best. however he is fucking TERRIFIED by the idea of getting married or really having any committed romantic relationship for reasons he hasn't examined. so at the slightest hint that his parents want him to meet a noblewoman he will immediately find some epic fantasy saga adventure to embark on for the next six months. all together it works to help him maintain bachelorhood i guess
