sometimes i think when some of u talk about gorgug u forget zac isn't white
#aspen tag#it's not like a concrete thing i just get the vibe sometimes#like sometimes ppl phrase things abt his heritage and relationship to his rage#or how he fits with gnomish culture n stuff#in a way that kinda frames it as like..... passive#when there's obviously very deliberate themes being explored#or like. idk.#talk about him in a way that gives the impression they've never thought about it from the perspective of race#i'm having an autism moment or smth and the tone machine is like fully offline rn#but i guess i just don't get how someone could just. not consider it at all#it's not like it's a stretch it's very much like. baked into him#his parents don't understand his rage or how it's a part of him#their house isn't made for someone his size#he shies away from anger because he already knows the world wasn't made to fit him#he spends s1 looking for his bio parents-- people who'd be like him. who he could connect to with this part of himself#digby & wilma don't talk to the rest of their families because they thought adopting gorgug was a bad choice!#their parenting (well-meaning as it may be) is all about redirecting rage#and gorgug's teaching himself not just how to channel it constructively#but how to be comfortable with it at all#because the environment he's in doesn't offer security in expressing it. not for people like him#and so he's learned to control it and distance himself from it#in a way that he has to dismantle to fully engage with his barbarian class#it's just. it's there#i can't convince of a world where someone could look at him and just. not see it#idk how to end this. yeah 👍#d20
