THE SILT VERSES FINALE PART 1 SPOILERS‼‼‼‼ DONT LOOK IF YOU HAVENT LISTENED

im a broken woman. this is insane to me. carpenter and hayward are alive for now..... carpfaulk reunion rapidly approaching..... val and carons heart to heart.... VALLERINA........

i dont know what to do. take these sketches. maybe theyre wips. i dont know. im messed up.

i'm never not gonna be insane about carson as val's mother figure. like i do think that val started subconsciously thinking of him like that. all her rage at this unknown, unnamed woman that gave birth to her, all that rage was just as much directed at him. in a very real sense, he gave birth to the val that we're introduced to. the tortured and hateful battle saint. and i do think that by the end, he thought of her as a daughter of some sort too. at first, he must've thought of their dynamic as that of a manufacturer and a weapon; creator and creation; distant and removed from the pain his creation causes, just far enough away from her to avoid getting the blood she spills on his shoes. but he calls her a daughter. a daughter of the nation, sure, but a daughter nonetheless. and he's proud of her...but not enough to see her as a person. she's still just another medal on his wall, another grand success! and isn't that exactly what a bad mother does?

and their final scene together. val always wanted a chance to forgive her mother, to prove that she was better, more kindly, more merciful, despite the pain her mother had caused her. and i do think she did that, in her final act of mercy towards carson. "he doesn't deserve it. she says it anyways."

and in one last twist, carson reciprocates that kindness. something val would've never expected from her mother. "you were a ballerina," he says, giving her something she explicitly mentions her biological mother depriving her of. that simple act of kindness that doesn't do anything to erase the years of pain, doesn't do anything to heal the endless wounds, and that's such a difficult, quintessentially human situation. you don't have to forgive your mother. all she's doing is saying the words she should've been saying since you were born. you don't have to forgive her, and you won't forgive her, but you will feel the soft edges of a kinder life close in around you anyways.

anyways i'm going to go drown myself in a river now goodbye and good day
