#so i can find it again with tumblr's fucked up tagging system smfh

[lattehearted]

yall ever think about how much the a.wakening next gen kiddos love their parents and mourn them constantly and are so thrilled to have even a little bit of time with them again, even if their parents are much younger, even if they're years away from being born in this timeline

anyway under the cut are some lines from the trio and their (default) parents from the f.uture p.ast dlc that makes me absolutely feral. it gets very, VERY long but it's good insight for how i play my kids tbh

O.wain, L.issa, and S.tahl

O.wain: sobbing his lil heart out L.issa: You're such a brave boy, putting up a bold front. I'm really, really proud of you. So you go ahead and have a good cry in your mother's arms. You earned it. O.wain, still sobbing: Mother, I'm so, so sorry! I shouldn't have let you die! And I shouldn't have given up like I did at the bridge. You didn't save me just so I could throw my life away! I'm sorry Mother....I'm a horrible person... L.issa: Hey. Wipe your nose, mister. You're dribbling. You are certainly NOT a horrible person. You're my son. All that matters is that you're safe. Now... if you're done sobbing and sniffling, we've got work to do. These R.isen will be the ones crying when WE'RE done with them! ------------------------------------------------------- O.wain: I'll be all right, so go find someplace safe to hide! S.tahl: O.wain, I could never walk away from my own son when he needs me most. Let's fight together. We'll clear this battlefield of R.isen in no time! You're not going to tell me I came all the way from another world for nothing! O.wain: Are you sure? S.tahl: You're not the only one who needs to get his mind off his stomach O.wain: Ooh...Don't bring that up again... All right, Father! You win! Let's run those R.isen through! S.tahl: Heh. I'll race you.

I.nigo, O.livia, and L.on'qu

O.livia: I'll be right by your side doing what the other O.livia couldn't! I.nigo: Thank you, Mother. But I don't want you to put yourself in danger. Stay where it's safe. O.livia: What are you saying, I.nigo? I came here to watch over you! I.nigo: You are watching over me. You know, I often practice fighting and dancing near your grave... And when I do, I always feel you there gently pushing me along. O.livia: I.nigo... I.nigo: Since your passing, I've gotten much stronger. Watch and see. If I know you're watching, not even a hundred R.isen can stop me! O.livia, as he leaves: Huh? I.nigo, wait! ...Heh. He's really got his heart set on doing this alone. I know, son. You're scared of losing me again. But don't push me away. You might find out that I'm stronger than you remember too. ------------------------------------------------------- (i.nigo and l.on'qu's entire scene makes me weep so it's hard to narrow it down but) L.on'qu: I do not know how long I can remain in this world. But I wish to fight for you. I.nigo: I would be grateful. But please, promise you'll stay alive. Nothing frightens me more than losing you again because of me. L.on'qu: Why is that frightening? I.nigo: Because you and Mother already died once to protect me! I feel as though everything I love in this world is ruined on my account! L.on'qu: Is that how you feel? ...Hmm. You take after your father more than you realize. Your grief may even be greater. But we differ in at least one important way. You never let your grief turn you cold. Even in despair, you remain kind. Nothing could ever be ruined on your account, because you only bring people joy.

S.evera, C.ordelia, and G.regor

S.evera: No matter what world you come from, you never change. Everything is always about you - about how you feel, about what you can do. You think that because I'm your daughter, I'll turn out exactly like you. Not once have you ever stopped to ask ME how I feel. C.ordelia: What? S.evera, starting to cry: Y-You made me so angry... I h-hated you! C.ordelia: Oh! Baby, don't cry... Come here... S.evera, crying harder: Don't tell me what to do! C.ordelia: I don't even know where to begin. I am so sorry for all that I put you through. S.evera: ...F-Fine. I accept your apology. Now let go of me. C.ordelia: Better now? S.evera, bright red and sniffling: Of course I'm better now! ...Your nose is running. I guess sometimes we do feel the same. ...I missed you. C.ordelia: ...I missed you too! S.evera, bright red: All right, PLEASE stop hugging me! This is a battlefield! ------------------------------------------------------- G.regor: Either way, G.regor is sorry Other G.regor died and left you all by yourself. It must have been very hard on you. S.evera: Darned right it was! What kind of father does that to his daughter?! My life has been horrible ever since I lost you! G.regor: S.evera... S.evera: I loved you so much, I decided to be a mercenary like you when I took the field. You were my model of strength! When you died, you robbed me of more than just a father. Don't you get that? G.regor, tearing up: Yes, G.regor get it very much. You are making G.regor want to shed the tears now. G.regor is very proud you followed in father's footsteps. Your father would also have been proud. S.evera: I...I don't need you to tell me that. G.regor: Of course not. Well... G.regor has come to keep you safe, so that is what G.regor will do. Is no way those R.isen will hurt his precious little girl! S.evera: Well, you just make sure not to slow me down. And... thanks, Daddy. I don't want to admit it, but I've always dreamed of fighting by your side like this.
