Some scattered thoughts on Aeormatons and their apparently universal tendency to rush headlong into danger, under a cut for reasons of spoilers

Episode 56 made it abundantly clear that both FCG and FRIDA are Like That, what with FRIDA willingly allowing themselves to get swallowed by a monster and Deanna mentioning that she feels like they have a death wish. What's interesting is how FRIDA and FCG came by this tendency appears to be the same and different at once.

FCG's constant attempts at martyrdom reads to me like it's his way of coping with the guilt of having murdered his former adventuring party. He seems to believe on some level that he can make up for killing those people (+ any others he may have killed in the past he can't remember) by dying for a different group of people.

FRIDA, in contrast seems to rush into danger because it's there that they feel the most alive. They said as much to Chetney after he mauled them as a werewolf; the danger was fun to them. FCG is attempting to martyr themself on the nearest suitable alter, while FRIDA is an adrenaline junky (as much as someone without an adrenal system can be so).

But in both cases it seems to also come from viewing their lives as fundamentally less valuable than the lives of everyone else around them. Because they both woke up in a world where automatons are tools without any particular sentience; where any creature made out of metal like they are isn't a person, but a thing. Because they both feel deeply driven by a purpose that puts them in service to others, FCG to nurture, FRIDA to protect. I can see how those would combine to create an attitude of: "It's okay if I die, as long as I am fulfilling my purpose and taking care of those who are more important than me."

I'm incredibly curious to know how FRIDA and FCG's relationship with each other is going to affect their mutual tendency to rush headlong into danger. Because now they both have someone in their life who is like them, and who is so obviously a person, a deeply special one at that, and that might affect how they view the value of their own lives

DROPPING YOU GUYS A SMALL LITTLE THANK YOU HERE! Spent the entirety of today in bed and eating snacks haha

Wish I had read more historical literature stuff. I need some etiquette scripts.

I slept from about 04:45 to 07:30

So about 2 hours

Want some quiet time and watch Netflix while I eat breakfast before I do big socializing

But the thing is we are here specifically to have quality time with my grandmother

And the kitchen is the core place people spend time here

So can't exactly just sit on my phone

I don't think there is actually a polite way to not want to socialise yet

Also don't know if it's socially acceptable to want to just have a day to wander around and explore by myself, when we haven't done 'enough' bonding yet

But at some point I'm going to have to? Don't need my dad to say whether it's the plan or not

I'm just going to have to get up regardless

how do people live with their families

Idk. Just that conflict of interests between feeling like I'm supposed to 'be here' for Dadi Vs I need to do my own thing and explore. just here as a tourist Vs here as a helper.

I think also doesn't help that because the normal family home is rural, I'm accustomed to feeling like if I'm at a family home then I can't leave

But there's a bus stop right outside here.

[disaster-zagreus]

I have been drawing Hades game fanart for one (1) year and I've never done an art summary like this before, so this was a lot of fun! Definitely spent late summer and early fall with Dragon Age on the ol' mental real estate, only for that to be forcefully evicted when Hades 2 was announced. So, oops, all december......

[soulcluster-moved]
