#if you dont take into account that albus is just as traumatized by barlowe as shanoa is you are wrong about him ok #and so many of his illogical actions can be traced back to how he responded to his trauma #and i literally discussed this EXACT TOPIC in the ooe section of my video #like. you can criticize his actions but to imply that albus never cared about shanoa *as a person* is fucking stupid and youre going to die #like. are we ignoring the line from pre-amnesia shanoa in that flashback that implied she wouldve done exactly the same thing for him #are we ignoring that so much of what happens after albus's death is driven by shanoas own agency #albus never knew the whole truth. shanoa chose to find it. shanoa chose to raid the castle. shanoa chose to use dominus anyway despite #albus's wishes because she saw saving humanity as more important.#albus had no part in any of those decisions #'ooooeh albus had a big brother complex and cared more about protecting shanoas innocence than her life' im going to kill you #he gave up the only home he ever had he made himself the enemy to everyone who ever cared about him he gave up his life twice #and yes he could have told her. but loyalty towards barlowe had been so engrained in the both of them #even when he found out barlowe lied he was like 'no he would never do that to me' at first. like genuinely #hes scared of the idea of control being taken from him; because it already had been #and his attempts to actually have any control over the situation got the autonomy OVER HIS BODY stolen from him via possession #idk banging my head against the wall. the game is more nuanced about this idea than you think #i am an albus defender till i die. goodnight
