If I had a nickel for every mazmus soldier who was forced to be a climber by their older male family member that had a gift which helps with climbing but was reluctant to use it, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's wierd that it happened twice.

Arthur was made a climber to uphold his fathers legacy and reputation, where Argie was made a climber because grandpa couldn't do it himself so passed the responsibility to him. Both become the best climbers in their squad and try to escape the pressures and expectations of said family, even if (in the case of Arthur), that family is dead.

Both are messed up ways to raise your child, and we see that it still affects them even without seeing the family member who assigned them the squad role with the highest death rate.

Also intresting how both have gifts that assist with their climbing, and both are reluctant to use it, Argie during his tryout and Arthur in wyldflowers...

When I'm having a good day but then I remember:

The reason why Bayna turned away when Splat was doing the gift activation (aka jumping off the cliff) cause it reminded him too much of Asher falling from the giant.

... :(

Heavy is the crown: Arthur and legacy

(puns! anyway lmao)

You know, I was thinking about the Tales from Cazilor, which I’ve been doing a lot as of late.

And like, it’s so obvious that Arthur’s character is about recognition. This kid grew up in his father’s shadow and it’s so obvious that this is what fucked him up.

He refuses to use his gift even though it has manifested and it’d apparently be useful for a climber according to Wyldflower scene 3. He does not bring up his father but the other recruits do and they blame who he is on that family tree.

Like, Arthur’s quest is about being himself and not his father’s son or a prodigy who had everything handed to him. About being seen for himself and to have his strengths acknowledged as what they are: the results of his own work. We don’t know if his father raised him, but I was just thinking about it. How impossible must it be to live when people brush off your accomplishments because, of course you’re the best, you’re X’ son, or Of course you did it, your gift’s awakened.

Arthur is essentially shooting himself in the foot just to prove that he can do it anyway and he pushes everyone away so that no one can ever tell him he didn’t earn the glory.

(and, really, gifted kids problems, but when all your mistakes are more seen than your successes, when all your efforts are seen as normal and dismissed but your failures are pinned to you like you’re the failure, it sucks. Ways to ruin a child, I promise.) (And “I don’t get sleep”’s lyrics include a very angry “Were you even trying?!” and the entire song is about running yourself ragged over not being enough, like, this isn't subtle or hard to decipher but it's pretty well executed.)

So, all in all, Captain Oldevitch telling him during the first album’s 3rd scene: “Toltag’s reign” that “your squad's all you got in times like this” and Apollo doubling down is surely a double edged sword. Either it marks a separation between Arthur and his father and allows him a space where he doesn’t have to be his father’s son, or it brings him again in a situation where he’s forced to share his victory with others, where he risks getting lost and not properly acknowledged. Probably both, and he needs to accept that he has new people now and they care for him (because they do, and he cares for them so much in return, I’m going insane).
