Psst. Hey. What do you think Kabru's opinion on Laios' issues with his parents would be?

Gosh, I can barely manage to form my own concrete opinion on Laios' feelings about his parents, much less ascertain Kabru's, haha! After all, Laios says the source of his strained feelings towards his parents is how they treated Falin after her powers manifested, but then again, Falin still regularly writes to them and Laios himself says she wasn't particularly phased by her parents or the village's treatment of her (which is additionally confirmed in the AB). I can't help but wonder how much of Laios' resentment actually stems from how they treat Falin, or if he uses it as a justification to hide how deeply it hurt for him to feel like an outsider. I think this is best supported by how he says he couldn't stand how the village treated Falin, and yet, somewhat paradoxically, says this is the reason why he leaves her behind, which was worse for her than anything the village had done. As with all things, the truth likely lies somewhere in the middle.

Personally, I can't help but feel a lot of the tension between Laios and his father comes from the two of them seeing in each other the parts they don't like about themselves. Ryoko Kui leaves just enough breadcrumbs in the supplemental material to imply Laios' father also has trouble connecting with and taking an interest in the people around him, finding solace in hunting and his dogs, and that could be why he appears to be so standoffish with his family. It's probably especially frustrating for him when Laios falls up short of his expectations because he himself has already run this circuit. I think it's intentional that Laios' father seems to be an alternate version of Laios if he'd never tried to become adventurer, although it's hard to say if Laios had ever picked up on that himself. If they were to ever understand the similarities between them, I think it would go a long way to mend their rift.

As to how Kabru would feel about it, I'm sure he'd recognize how deeply complicated and tangled Laios' feelings would be, considering his own complicated relationship with Milsiril. Coming to terms with your parents' flaws is such a tough pill to swallow, and lord knows it's 10x more complicated with everything going on between Kabru and Milsiril, but Kabru at least seems to have already reached a place where he's made his peace with it, the same as with Falin (which, ugh, Kabru, you are a much stronger person than I am lol). I do feel that he'd want to help Laios mend his relationship with his parents if it's something Laios expressed an interest in doing someday. If nothing else, I feel that Laios' opinion of his father would likely soften over time after having experienced a few stressful years of leadership himself. (I also think Laios' father would more easily come to terms with his own mistakes as a father after seeing Laios surrounded by people who love and accept him for being himself.)

The worst thing about getting into a fandom long after the source material has ended is that you literally cannot look for fanfiction EVER because it’s ALL SPOILERS

Funkycule fun fact #2884782: because penilians are hypercarnivores, they have evolved out of the ability to taste sweet things. Due to this, the penilian equivalent of candy is typically based on saltiness. Pringles are like candy to penilians

Ngl I’ve spent a lot of C3 really hoping we would ever get more specific engagement with Laudna’s years alone. I’d been holding out for some explanations or character work around that in-game. And it’s…I’m gonna go with Mildly Annoying that it now feels like that got ignored/glossed over in the campaign cause they were planning to explore it in the novel. I don’t…love it, I’ll say that.

Idk man but as a person whose primary source of outsized flinch responses was an environment where everything had to be sunny and fluffy and harmonious all the time at least on the surface (and this meant you were never allowed to make anyone uncomfortable by questioning the status quo, or processing grief or complexity except in the most rigidly policed and specified ways, or pointing out injustice), the idea that anything vaguely upsetting isn’t fit for public discussion or consumption and should be relegated to shameful dark corners plastered with the equivalent of long term nuclear waste warnings because Think Of The Trauma Victims feels uh. Fucked up

One Week Social Media Detox Update !!

day 8 no tiktok no ig:

this is mostly an update on yesterday, day 7, bc it marks a full week w/ no short form media but i got locked out of tumblr before i could post (ehh idc)

tldr; it's not so bad! ive found other ways to fill the time and im trying to be mindful of how much time i spend on the apps i /am/ allowed to go on bc the point for me is to just not be on my phone as much (screen times below the cut)

some alternatives to tiktok and ig: playing solitaire, playing mahjong on my phone (this was a life saver when i went to urgent care), video games, board games, journaling (theres prob more but ive been sick so there hasnt been much change on the creative side of things yet, or on going outside)

the hardest thing about the detox is that my girlfriend is not on a detox (and im not gonna force her to be on one) so hearing all of the tiktoks in the background makes me want to look over every once in a while. i forgive myself when i do. its an addiction, after all.

trying to congratulate myself for making it this far! i havent been tempted to redownload either app yet (: excited for this weekend and next week !!

* its actually been about 2-3hrs spent on my phone in the last couple days but the day i took my gf to urgent care i spent like 8hrs on my phone playing mahjong and watching yt videos😭😭😭 whoops ((but i didnt break any app limits!))
