blorbo ask! 26. when you first discovered your Blorbo, did you realize from that moment that they would become your Blorbo?
Isabeau? Absolutely, 100%
I'd actually saved the trailer for in stars and time that insertdisc5 posted on their tumblr back in 2023 but never had time to play it until recently, and I remember seeing him in the trailers going "oh he's gonna be my favorite isn't he", and then once I started playing the game I was talking with a friend about even they were like "I knew he was gonna be your favorite" kdjfhgkdfjghkgkr
but the moment he grew to blorbo status was his friendquest. I'd developed a little bit of a crush on him just from the perspective of playing under the gaze of viewing him as my/siffrin's love interest, and just assumed he was your average lovable himbo, but finding out he's actually petrified of being his true self and that the persona he puts on is just him "pretending" to be the person he always wanted to be there for him absolutely consumed me. I always joke that my type in blorbos is "soft-hearted scientists with aroken dream", and though he doesn't mention broken dreams or unachieved goals, you can tell that he's falling apart on the inside. he crumbles at being called a coward, he people pleases so hard that it swings into refusing to have difficult conversations altogether, and the way he talks about Change makes it seem like he's had to hurt a lot of people around him. Not directly, not intentionally, but he knows he's done it.
I want to shake him. Sweetheart to a dangerous fault, so self-depricating that he becomes his own joke, so smart he could outwit Odile if he wanted, but so scared to show his true light that he'd rather just keep pretending he doesn't know a thing.
I want him to be happy. I want to put him through the torment nexus. I want him to confront all of his lies. I want him to live a comfortable life. I want him to lose everything. I want him for my own.
