#Actually I just want more necron content in general I'm begging

[detachhunter]

I am inconsolable and in tears as I think about this again, but it's fine. I'm fine. It's fine, I promise. I'm lying.

Spoilers for The Twice-Dead King: Ruin below. This is an appreciation post about Djoseras and I'm hurting.

Djoseras is only a supporting character in the TDK novels, but I really want to argue that he is perhaps the MOST IMPORTANT character outside of our boy, Oltyx, who is, of course, the protagonist. Now, he's not present for the most part, usually a referred to character and his actual "on screen" time is very limited. However, there are just scenes that shape Djoseras' character so immensely, giving him a level of character depth usually not reserved or expected for side characters, and though it's mostly through Oltyx's perception of him (so, skewed or otherwise), his brother is just. So important.

So, shout out to Djoseras who taught Oltyx the hard lessons even if he himself found discomfort in what he was teaching him.

Shout out to Djoseras who protected Oltyx by skewing a significant event that ultimately led to his brother being exiled instead of executed.

Shout out to Djoseras who went back to comfort Oltyx who was so scared of going through the furnaces of biotransference.

Shout out to Djoseras who who inscribed upon his immortals all their names and deeds upon their necrodermis to show who they were/are.

Shout out to Djoseras who feigned ignorance just so he could talk to his brother before his departing to the capital to trying making Unnas see reason about the incoming Imperial Crusade that would see all of Ithakas destroyed.

Shout out to Djoseras who stayed behind to give Oltyx the time he needed to flee and take what survivors he could with him before Antikef fell.

Shout out to Djoseras who, despite everything, will always love his brother and wishes nothing more than for him to thrive.

Please, remember him.
