#its just... he as a player has a pattern so im like. not too enthused about it

What gives me hope for shadowgast is that Jester still hasn't shown any romantic interest in Caleb at all. So the chances of it not being Vaxmore all over again are a little better... but I agree with how you're feeling about it

dude... I. tbh in my head I had it like: Astrid is the second choice for Caleb and if THAT doesn't work out then Essek is a possibility and even then, best chance for mlm is like a SUGGESTION of post-campaign romance. (I'm sorry if I'm being extremely negative about this, I just like to prepare myself for worst case/ mediocre scenarios and all that.)

like that's the romance endgame I'd resigned myself to for Caleb, since I realized that he's been wingmaning for FJ so... like. he's stopped persuing jester (I hope). unless he pulls a googly and tries to gun for wj again. single jes is my favourite outcome rn (if only CR were brave enough to do beauyashter *sigh....) I still don't think shadowgast has much of a chance tbh I'm not gonna pit my hopes up only to be let down, I'd rather expect nothing and be content with getting nothing or gods forbid, being pleasantly surprised if shadowgast DOES end up happening somehow.
