#thinkin about it. been A While since reisz did silvering. ppl outside of london might start calling them smth else. hmm. much to consider

[szilverer]

bleeding heart, stormy eyes, teethy smile. the clawed captain of the Starlight.

me: damn reisz might get another bout of depression after all this... the delight made the orphanage seem cute, they're feeling That Weight again, and worst of all, they're the type of person that could get addicted to the rose-coloured vision the shattered mask gives & want to live wearing it....

storm himself, god of the zee (??): gotchu fam. worry not. thunder euphoria be upon ye.

me, who only stopped by london to read letters: :0

man. it feels so good when rng gives me major character developments at the most fitting points... finally reached stormy-eyed for the first time right after my ghostie Finally started zailing around & begun getting enamored with the danger of piracy (due to all the explosions, the fire, the chase making them feel their heart beat i.e. feel alive. which is what they crave the most)

So! Evolution.

Evolution has not been treating them well and i love it so much for it lmao. In many aspects it has been like reliving Light Fingers which was. Mildly traumatizing by the end, yeah. I don't think saying goodbye to the Naturalist is gonna hurt as much, but they can't deny they started to care about the guy & they'll be affected by it.

I need to emphasize: Reisz is, deep down, incredibly lonely. Good ol' "lonely in a crowd" syndrome. Ever since LF they were left with a boosted sense of alienation, losing the (already little) ability they had to relate to the average londoner. It's not everyone who goes through something Like That after all. There's like 3 people they can talk about it but they only feel comfortable bothering one.

they foresaw this, ofc, it's exactly why they kept edward alive. alas it's not like escapism bullying him in the nightmare castle instead of going to veilgarden or a pub is gonna fix their alienation issues. prob made them worse actually.

So?? To meet a guy that's going through some fucked up otherworldly shit?? To feel like they're not the only one constantly tossed around by events beyond their control, someone that in in-game terms seems to be playing through an ambition. Someone they can relate to. This is important to them. This friendship– they like to think they're close enough to call it that at least, after all they've been through– is surprisingly important to them & they genuinely want to help this guy instead of feeling forced to do so.

Looking forward to see how this is gonna end 🤭
