i'm thinking about the sunchildren again bc enkanomiya ost is my go-to study music.
Like Ion for example was someone who was inept with telling people's fortunes, but on his grave, it's written "he failed to predict his own short life." Tbh, based on the one conversation we get to have with his Sunshadow, where he tells us that many people of Enkanomiya have such poor luck so he chooses to lie to them instead, I feel that Ion must have known about his death. He doesn't know the context of it or why this is the case, but in that short span of life, he may have just wanted to make people happy, even if it meant lying about their fortunes.
Or Rikoru who was manipulated to believe Aberaku was trying to kill him when it was the one who manipulated him that would be the cause of his death. Aberaku was trying to speak up against the Jibashiri using a child as a puppethead over the rest of Enkanomiya, but of course, the Jibashiri would jail him and tell Rikoru that Aberaku was wrong and that he's just trying to threaten Rikoru. Plus, Rikoru being the first sunchild -- it makes me wonder how did the Jibashiri manage him first, setting a basis of how to treat the Sunchildren before tending to the others. I just wish that there was more information regarding the Jibashiri to understand them more.
#will probably come back to this later to ramble more i just really love the sunchildren#im just sad bc idk anyone else who loves them the way i do#my heart breaks everytime i go through my notes and remember finding the kids to talk to#and then just...#bc up to that point EVERYONE around enkanomiya including hteir caretaker clymene#all agreed that the sunchildren were bad - they pinned all the bad things that happened on the sunchildren#even though THEY WERE BEING MANIPULATED BY THE JIBASHIRI#like where is the argument against the jibashiri? ig its easier to blame a kid than an authority figure who could kill you in an instant#but ... that makes me really sad#ion is probably one of my faves mostly because he reminds me of two of my ocs - sheila and estrella#like i wonder how much these kids are told of the past sunchildren before they come to power#did ion know that the past sunchildren used to be so deeply hated?#i think we only know the first and last sunchildren - rikoru and orepeusu respectively#so ion wouldve/may have heard of the hatred the people held for their power#WHICH MAKES THE WHOLE 'I WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY' IDEA HURT ALL THE MORE....#snow speaks#enkanomiya#yeah....i just....i wish i could talk more about it.... make ideas w someone#i have other peoples fics to help me but ow ow ow ow ow ow ow#also im pretty sure i read most of the ones i had saved.... so now im out
