on this episode of jc has to confront the consequences of his actions and his One coping mechanism and form of self-medication isn’t working anymore
#i could yell so long about how Awful it is that mina insinuates that jc doesn’t give a shit about her or anyone#when like. that’s his entire thing. that’s why he’s like that. that’s why he DID that#because above keeping anyone’s trust and making people like him he wants the people he cares about to be Safe. Alive.#if that means lying to them and manipulating them and withholding the truth then so be it. honesty was never a factor.#so long as no one else dies on his watch.#of course he cares. it’s the only thing he refuses to stop doing. even if it eats him alive.#he knows how much risk there is in caring about someone. that’s why he doesn’t want anyone to do it for him.#dnd oc#digital art#winteriine#dungeons and dragons#procreate#strixhaven#mina lee#jc ophiucus#artists on tumblr#my art#strixhaven: year 2
