i love how you get to see cassia’s prefrontal cortex develop in real time in wayward. she literally goes from “everything my brother has ever done since birth is a calculated manipulation designed to make me feel bad and bring shame on our family” to “wait maybe my brother stole my toys when he was seven because he was, uh…seven” in the span of 500 pages

#witherward #wayward #cassia sims #not to cassia post AGAIN #but i think this is also important context re: why she doesn’t forgive gedeon #arguably the most important thing cassia realises in wayward is that a lot of her resentment towards alana and ollivan is misdirected anger #because she feels like she lacks agency in her life #it takes a long time for her to realise that blaming ollivan doesn’t change anything and actually makes things worse #so the fact that cassia resolutely does not forgive gedeon in witherward is important #because it means she recognises gedeon actively chose to do something wrong #vs him being pushed into a role by his family or society #this is why i think cassia hallucinated ollivan and not gedeon btw #because she seems to be ashamed and upset about the argument #which would fit more with ollivan (who she knows now was never really to blame for what she resented him for)#as opposed to gedeon who actually wronged her and deserves to be yelled at lmao #oh hannah mathewson. i love you
