#he accepts it

[breathdeeplyintothevoid]

Throughout the book, Grace accepts that he's going to die over and over again despite desperately wanting to live.

At the start of the book he accepts it believing that it was his choice to save humanity, only to have that belief proven wrong.

At the end of the book he accepts that he's going to die knowing for a fact that it is his choice to save his friend.

Fenris’ Temper

So, with Fenris, a lot of the fandom focuses on how angry he can get in conversation and cutscenes. However. There’s good reason for it, and it’s nowhere near as bad as the fandom makes it out to be. His anger in cutscenes is a direct response to him being triggered by his trauma. In conversations, it’s a different thing.

When Fenris is angry in conversations, invariably, it’s because another companion crossed a boundary they shouldn’t have. And most of the time he simply snarls, instead of outright lashing out. When he lashes out, mostly at Anders but occasionally at Merrill, it’s usually because they crossed a boundary in a far too personal manner. (Anders does this with a lot of people) But most of the time, Fenris is simply snarling in response to his boundaries being violated.

And this is important, because Fenris is a man who is only now, in the time of the game, figuring out his boundaries, and starting to live and grow, instead of just surviving. He’s spent the grand majority of his life that he can remember as a slave who wasn’t allowed to express anything that his master would disagree with. So when we see Fenris in-game, we’re seeing someone who is figuring out that it’s okay for him to express emotions like anger, or happiness, or love. And he’s doing a lot of personal growth over the course of the game.

He’s learning to read, he’s figuring out his likes and dislikes, he’s making friends for the first time in memory. He walks away from a romance with Hawke because he doesn’t feel like he’s personally ready for a romantic relationship. And if Hawke is willing to wait, he will come back when he feels ready.

So of course when his boundaries are crossed, he’s going to defend them with all the snarling of a mother bear. Because he’s spent his life not even having boundaries to defend. And Fenris is so determined to hold onto every freedom he gets. And the freedom to be upset is a big one. So no. I don’t blame Fenris when he gets upset, because while he might not always say great things when he is, every time he’s angry, it’s for good reason. - Mod Alistair

One last thing and then I will shut up about this episode (probably). The look Owen gives TK and Carlos during the reunion scene? He’s relieved, he’s happy to see that his son is relatively okay, but he doesn’t run over. He stays where he is because he can see that TK has all he needs right now with Carlos there to support him and hold him, and I just think that’s neat.

I don’t know if this is more applicable to us or Shinsou after that last chapter😂😅

Today I realized I’ve been doing an absolute Richard Gansey iii™️ thing, where I met a new person, learned his name, and then decided to call him Felix which is no where near his actual name.

(And every time someone says his real name I have zero clue who they’re talking about)

A raven sits hunched on the edge of a rooftop, glaring down at Talon with all six of its unsettling red eyes. It is watching to see if its master's newest pawn is doing a he has been ordered. Let us hope that that is the case, for the Grand General does not take kindly to insubordination.

Obedience or death. That was the only language Talon understood. Once more he had been forced to choose, and once more he had chosen the same answer. The assassin withdrew the blade. blood trickled down the mirrored edge. A mark chosen, another body for the gutter. Talon glanced back over his shoulder as if he had sensed eyes on his back, cold, red, unforgiving. The eyes of Noxus were always watching, nothing had changed. Except for, perhaps, he now knew something similar to hope.
