Hi VM anon here just to say i finished with the Briarwood arc and started the Conclave arc and NOSSA SENHORA, i'm already wrecked from all this. The Twins are always a joy to see, i like Scanlam a lot more now that i see where his arc may be going, impressive is the only word i can use for Percy, Grog is going tru something with that blade i guess, Pike is really the rock that stops the party going to hell and Keyleth is my absolute favorite character right now, even when she get spells wrong kk

(VM anon here) Actually, i change what i said about Percy. I think he is trying to hard to push things into a morally grey deal, but not in a interesting way like we are starting to see in the M9, and that just doesn’t fit well with a party with such a black-and-white mentality. I also didn’t like how the comments kept praise his edgy tired takes about crime being needed and using them to shit on the party members who didn’t go with it. (Sorry if this is irritating, i know you are a Percy fan).

(VM anon, sorry) Again, sorry for sending these non-stop (maybe i should just get a tumblr already dunno), But my biggest griefs about Percy is this new attitude he got in the Conclave arc after such a great Briarwood arc. Anyone from a country where organized crime is so big cannot say that they are in no way, shape or form important for society to work and i feel a particular kind of fury to characters that believe they do because of “things” that happened to family members of mine. Sorry 2.0.

Don’t apologize, i love it! It’s funny because people get mad at Percy for the same reasons on why i love Percy. “He doesn’t fit well in the party”, exactly! How is this fucker in the middle of that group of chaotic good people? I think that Taelisin always talked about how he’s such an angsty teenager thats just…a fucking asshole lmao. He’s right!

About M9, i personally don’t think that the things with M9 are getting morally grey, at least not their characters. The only situation that i saw that it was kind of like that it was the Mess that they did when Cad almost drowned? That was an interesting situation, even more the talk after it. But now? They are not morally grey, they just don’t….know what the fuck is going on lol. They’re all pretty much good people that would do the good thing. 

Ok, first of all, an advice that i’m sorry that i didn’t give you before: Don’t read the comments. Like. Ever. I can’t deny that Kiki sometimes annoyed me, but when i look at the comments i was like wtf. I started to look at the comments and then i stopped, because i realized that it didn’t help me with anything. I was taking negative energy from the comments and it ruined my perspective of the show, so i stopped and i started to enjoy the show again, alone, now without other voices involved. 

Now that i said that, i can continue. Percy? My boy is not a good person. He’s selfish, arrogant and entitled. I love him, but i don’t know if ill be his friend. Maybe with the Percy in the end, he has his shit together, kind of. But why do i love him? Storywise, he’s such a good character. Always-happy dynamics can be nice, but confrontations between characters are very interesting and are actually the things that allow stronger bonds. And i can’t think of big confrontations in VM without this dickhead involved. I was not surprised with his opinion about crime in society because first of all, he has a political background. Monarchy and things like that were always around him, so he’s not gonna be the first to come out and scream “revolution agaisnt the power!” because well, he always was part of the power. He’s insensitive with those things because he’s used to have them in his perspective of the world, his reaction was “well, it be like that”. And let’s not forget that his way was always “the end justifies the means”. This man accepted to make a weapon that he knew it was gonna kill millions of people, in the name of revenge. in the name of his family. in the name of what he needed, in his desesperation. Now, i find that deal that he wanted to make interesting because, would he fulfill it if he really realized the real consequences? If he had to deal with the consequences himself or at least see them in flesh? I don’t know. He’s very good at talking and deals, but decision maker? He needs to be controlled. I mean, this fucker made a deal with a demon (i love saying that but to be fair he didn’t knew that it was a demon or that it was real lol). 

You’re probably talking about the Kiki vs Percy situation. Oh boy, those are an interesting pair. They’re both young, they are put as the head of their people in a traumatic way, they’re impulsive as fuck and have very different opinions, like, always. It’s so fun and interesting for me. I honestly don’t remember on what side i was on that situation, but i was more in the Percy side for one thing: when i’m in a discussion, i analyze a lot, i tried to be cold to be in control of the fight. And Kiki, lovely Kiki with the heart full of fire, it’s so fucking confrontational. I remember that i was frustrated with her because i believe that if people see you fight with your own allies, that’s a weak point. I don’t like to antagonize someone that can be your worst headache tomorrow. I think that you have to be smart about stuff, even if you want to follow Kiki’s side, there’s nothing good in adding enemies in your list, especially in that situation. I think that even Marisha got frustrated with how Kiki acted in many situations, but she had to be loyal to the characterization. Again, i love their confrontations because they’re both can be so hardheaded but they’re still best friends. They both have a lot on their shoulders, but they need each other. 

I want to add one more thing, don’t think that Percy’s character development ended with the Briarwoods arc. He has a looong way to go yet. He has to deal with a lot of things about himself, and learn how to cope with them. That man is a mess still. He needs to developt complex relationships with everyone in the group and find his own place on it. Don’t forget that the group spend years thinking that Percy was the Responsible Adult when he was just a traumatized barely-legal kid with a demon inside of him, so he filled that role but now, that’s changing and he needs to adapt to it. His reaction on the fact that he’s not always in control anymore it’s actually pretty funny. 

I would love to hear more of your thoughts!
