“i would sooner see [the crystarium] razed than conquered” remains one of my favorite and deeply under-appreciated g’raha lines

[freakbeastcentral]

g’raha tia people magazine’s sexiest man alive !!!!

[freakbeastcentral]

i am staunchly anti-the belief that g'raha gets flanderized and flattened post shb bc that is very much fandom perception muddying and overtaking canon BUT. i think he should have more opportunities to be a bitch again

[freakbeastcentral]

i really do love how g’raha eschews the role of monarch both functionally and narratively but there is something so funny about the wol—especially knight-themed wols—pledging their fealty and their sword to like. the democratically elected provincial governor

thank you @graviton-lance for the idea

[freakbeastcentral]

i do dislike when people read the exarch’s deliberate propagation of a Myth and a Prophecy of a warrior of darkness as a romantic gesture and Nothing Else like that isn’t a crazy ass thing to do

[freakbeastcentral]

i don’t technically disagree with the idea that g’raha teeters on the edge of villainy but not in the sense that there would be an eventual tipping point to send him over the edge (at least. not atm who knows) but rather in the sense that if he truly wanted to go down that path he 1. would have done so by now and 2. absolutely 100% has the capacity to do so. the distinction being “if he truly wanted to”. which he does not

ultimate g’raha tia playing the long game moment isn’t shadowbringers btw it’s that he studied, wrote a thesis, and successfully qualified for a PhD so he could have access to books he wasn’t allowed to read
