Who gives the best worst advice?
i suppose advice is relative and depends on what you need advice on. though, if one of my dragons was in need of someone to talk to, theyd probably try one of these guys:
If your problem is a moral one, Lockheed’s the resident Irritatingly Lawful-Good Paladin. Emotionally or personally, she’s not great, but that detachment is kind of what gives her an objective insight into “doing the right thing”. She comes off as stern and a little cold from the way she speaks, but truthfully she cares about other people a lot and doesn’t mind being asked for her input.
Luckily, if your problem is an interpersonal or emotional one, while Lockheed is useless, her husband Bermuda isn’t. His advice might not always be right, he’s only human (dragon?) after all, but his caring nature and willingness to listen kind of made him the Clan Dad figure. If you pay attention though, you’ll notice his “advice” is less advice, and more talking people through their problems and prompting them until they find their own solutions without really noticing. Bermuda believes in you, even if nobody else does.
If you’re looking for some good old fashioned Gandalf-sounding-ass wisdom, you might wanna try Leiptrvarthr (its a big might though, he’s usually relucatant to help). His shade infection has kept him “alive” far longer than any natural dragon lifespan, he’s well travelled and he’s seen and fought in his fair share of battles, so all his advice comes from experience. However, said advice is often quiet cynical and negative, as he’s long lost his faith in other people and believes that people are all, deep down, flawed and cruel beings.
If you need that sweet Validation™, Cenna’s the local Soft Sweetheart. She’s kind to a fault and she’ll always be able to make time for you if you need her, but it may be best to take some of her advice with a pinch of salt - she’s only lived a very ordinary life, a simple seaweed farmer by trade, so knows little of severe trauma and extreme moral issues. Most of her advice comes from a place of encouraging people to accept the way that they feel and then move from there. Sometimes you just need to hear that it’s okay, yknow?
Temahae’s advice isn’t. Bad, per se, it’s just...she has very little relatability, as a person? A lot of her life centres around the fact that she’s different from everyone else - She’s a magical savant on a quest to master all forms of magic, which is physically impossible for 99.9% of people. She’s a little prideful, so a lot of her actions revolve around that. She can socialise if she wants to, but she very much marches to the beat of her own drum in a very seperate way to the way that most other dragonfolk live. She’s also a “I keep all my emotions right here [points at chest] and then one day I’ll die” kind of person.
Galure. If you want to take advice from a depressed alcoholic Prince with very little empathy who kills people partially for money, but mostly because it’s the only thing that makes him feel alive anymore, then hey, who am I to judge?
It’s not known if Iru is capable of giving good advice, because they’ll only give out the worst advice possible purely for the sake of “seeing what happens”.
