head in hands. Out all of the Nein's origin stories, Molly is the only one who really tried to "play the hero," a rogue vigilante risking his neck to save people he'd never even met, running off alone at night and gambling his own life every time. How Molly can't bear to watch others get hurt or taken advantage of, how he'll always let himself bleed first.

The way he only takes up "choir practice" after losing Lestera--the implication that he had no qualms about dying again after his first partner was gone. All the nights he could have ended up back in the grave until Yasha joined him--Molly always running to the rescue for others, but never expecting anyone else to do the same for him--

How Molly sacrificing himself twice for the Mighty Nein hurts all the more after seeing his "choir practice"--

#I feel like. as much as molly tries to act like hes selfish. a good part of it really is an act. he has this very strong sense of justice #and his own moral center #I remember very early in nein days taliesin said something like 'oh no. Molly is the closest thing to this campaign's Keyleth'#and 'moral compass'--#(and this reflects in some of his character flaws. like Molly believing he always knows whats best for Nott #and others when their ideals clash. The way Molly wants to save everyone--but to Yasha his whole choir practice also reads as very #much self destructive. Molly not giving a damn about himself and always taking too many risks. trying to save everyone and fix #everything on his own--)#he's only lived for two years. he woke up all alone in a shallow grave. he believes the world is inherently harsh and cruel #but he still believes people are worth saving regardless. even if it gets him killed again--#mr mollymauk.....i lov you so much--#character of all time to me
