god the assassinduo divorce this time around is much worse. i dont think a simple conversation will help this time!!!! esp since ewroon doesnt want to talk to ash!!!! which is totally fair on his end bc ash DID share that the heart he gave to DC was fake so. kinda condemned him to death even more then he already was.
don was ultimately the source of this bc he decided it was a bright idea to want to kill ewroon and brought it up with ash, the guy who got out of horrific torture and almost being fully brainwashed abt it. the guy who saw him, katie, and ewroon working together to save him. like ash was NOTT in the proper headspace for that.... like his broken leg JUST healed and thats only bc of ash's insane healing factor
i wouldn't be shocked if some of the shit the federation did to ash WORKED. and that affected his decision-making. like even if the process wasn't completed, he WAS on the verge of succumbing to it. that definitely has some ramifications.
genuinely am not ready for ewroons death and ash's reaction to it. like if my train of though abt the brainwashing actually working at least somewhat is true and reflects in how ash reacts bc if he IS... i dont think anyone will truly care enough to help him with it. either way he is gonna spiral. both probably towards self-destruction but in very different ways... haha..... always bet on assassinduo, amirite?
also holy yap. just dropped an essay in ur inbox. oopsies!!!
finally getting around to answering asks, most of which being from the ashwron divorce and since i got so many iโll probably just answer them all in one, aka this ask.
but anyway, i think don and katie do have a right to distrust ewron especially considering all heโs done to katie, however ash mentioned something about don being overprotective of katie to the point it feels coddling, and i heavily agree with that. at times it views as don not seeing katie as capable enough to handle her own problems. that isnโt to say ash doesnโt coddle her too. he does, and the coddling of katie for don and ash is like, on opposite sides of the spectrum. ashs form of belittlement is excluding katie from most of the regimes activities and also not taking her seriously because he loves her too much to ever really put her harms way, even if sheโd want it. thereโs also ewronโs talk about him being weak and that affecting his dynamic with katie, but we all know that conversation holds no weight because ashwron have absolutely fallen in love with the island and itโs residents. the โkill everyoneโ plan is not happening lol. overall itโs ashs fencesitting that killed their relationship, but everyone knows that. his fencesitting stems from a desperation to keep any resemblance of a family that he has together, no matter how they feel about it, but that doesnโt change the effect.
one of the reasons i love siblingtrio so much is that theyโre not good for eachother. they truly do give off the vibe of โi donโt really like you sometimes but youโre familyโ they were doomed from the start especially considering katieโs relationship w nuclearfamily and how sheโll always put them above ash and don (why wouldnโt she?) and both brothers acknowledge this fact. yet don and ash are so desperate to make it work and donโt even realize theyโre just pushing katie even further apart from them. even so you can still see where every character in siblingtrio is coming from with their conceptions and i adoreee the nuance in that. itโs so much more fun when things arenโt a clear black and white.
however itโs a little unfair to face ash with this dilemma when he just got freed from two weeks of torture. my stance on the topic of how ash treated ewron is: not only has ash always been mentally unstable, even more so after his kidnapping, but heโs an alcoholic drug addict who self harms via cutting himself, starving himself, and punching walls. he is actively suicidal. he was not in the correct mental state to make such a huge decision. and also, heโs taken ewronโs statement of having him pretend to have little to no relations with ewron, which he said during their conversation during the movie night, though many people misinterpreted this lol. he just wants his family to get along. he saw them do it when they were rescuing him, so why not now?
on the note of rescuing him though; that shit was too easy. it was definitely planned. the feds absolutely did something to him and probably wanted katie don and ewron to break in especially considering the mysterious message katie got. all iโm saying is i expect a switch to be flipped during purgatory lol
with ewronโs death and ashโs reaction, that man is going to be devastated. the diamond knifeโข will be making an appearance just you watch. ewron was such a huge pillar of ashs mental stability and managed to calm him down and talk him out of suicide. him learning that niewron not only hates him but isnโt even *his* ewron? yeah thereโs no hope haha
but yes!! always bet on assassinduo! they never die and if they did iโd still be here
