sorry I'm whinging about these dungeons again bc I just hate them
#saint.txt
#spoilers
#major spoilers
#ishgardposting
#estinienposting
#sorry I started thinking again abt how utterly fucked up it is that dragoons are deliberately retraumatized over and over and over again
#until they have instinctual reactions to the sound of a dragon roar bc their helmets are specifically designed to make that noise
#as the wind passes over them during a jump or fall
#and how utterly fucked up that is in the context of esti.nien being who he is and and what he has been forced to live through
#and how much the process of the dragonsong war completely and utterly abused him
#and how he's a literal child soldier and how this trauma means nothing to his character in the grand scheme of things bc his HW writing
#never manages to live up to its potential bc he's just so flat and fails to fulfill even his role as the ishgardian foil to nid.hogg
#bc as written he is not actually an angry character in a way that's actually a character flaw
#which made me remember this conversation and how much I hate the aery / sohm al and what they represent dvhbbjhgdf
#and like it's particularly disappointing bc even if we have to keep both they *do* have actual potential but they just don't.
#both of the dungeons are fucking horrific events in the course of the war. this is never engaged with seriously bc the Horde have no nuance
#They are just enemies for you to kill and the morality of immediately slaughtering dragons in their own sacred spaces and homes
#esp. after you have literally just learned they are sentient and have lives and are not responsible for the war you're fighting
#is never engaged with and is glossed over bc the Horde are mindless animals to kill and esti.nien as a man is always right
#it just annoys me so much bc all the pieces are literally right there.
