Vivia: "In this economy?!?!?!?" is such a good response for everything
Kam: hey how are you?
Vivia: IN THIS ECONOMY?!?!?
Merik: want to go out for lunch?
Vivia: IN THIS ECONOMY?!?!?
Stix: can you pass me the salt please?
Vivia: IN THIS ECONOMY?!?!?
Vaness: I love you
Vivia: IN THIS ECONOMY?!?!?
and rereading windwitch and getting vivia's point of view and how she interacts with serafin, it's just. shit. this is such a well-written depiction of emotional abuse. vivia is desperate for her father's love and approval, and he seems to give it to her -- and then wrench it from her in turn. and she's left to make up excuses as to why, to fill in the gaps with what she must have done or said wrong. she knows he means best for her, he must mean best for her, surely he loves her and favors her, surely if she can be just like him then she can keep his favor and never disappoint him again, never lose his fickle favor again -- surely if he's angry at her it's because she failed him, that she wasn't good enough, she must have made some kind of mistake.
serafin never raises a hand to vivia. he never has to.
