#is actually backed up by Valya's fears in the book BUT I would have taken that better if there was more nuance about Isseya's motives

welp. fix it fic in my notes draft on my phone 😭😭😭
#the quest was. fine.#I am still very happy that they were included as much as they were but#as someone who fell in love with the book#and the complicated MESSY dynamics and multilayered people it portrayed#it rang hollow to me ;-;#there were a few (easily missed) nods to Isseya's choice (or lack thereof) and the impossibility of the situation#but the much more prominent messaging was that Isseya was evil and bad and that *she* had Blighted the griffons#it really came across like she was some sort of mad scientist experimenting on them#not that she wanted to SAVE shrike#not that she swore she would never do it again and then was FORCED TO#or how it literally destroyed her from the inside out both physically and psychologically ;-;#and nothing about her being garahel's brother WHICH#is actually backed up by Valya's fears in the book BUT I would have taken that better if there was more nuance about Isseya's motives#I would have loved to see them lean on Valya more to be the voice of Isseya the PERSON and her life and thoughts#in counter to Davrin's Isseya the MONSTER perspective#like I said it was fine. it wasn't technically *untrue* to the book. it just rang hollow to me ;-;#and I hope that doesn't become pervasive in the fandom bc I can't take that for her ;-; she deserved to rest#I'm not even mad at the idea that this happened to her! but I wish they'd done more about *her* and less about how she was evil#anyway. that's why we have fic#I will fix this for you isseya ;-; and valya#fr if they did anyone dirty it was valya ;-;#but really kind of shortchanged both of them#mer plays dav#pt: incoherent screaming#veilguard spoilers#da4 spoilers
