Hello fictionkinfessions! It's Percy again. It's been a while, but I've had other interests keeping me busy lately. I haven't watched the last three episodes of the season yet, to be quite honest I've been putting it off. But that's not why I'm here.

I've been trying to navigate my feelings towards Vex'ahlia for a while now. I know what's source canon, and I know I remember my children, but I just didn't seem to remember loving her that way. Or Vax'ildan for that matter, as I know the twins having swapped love lives is a common enough phenomenon. And without a clear idea who I fell in love with, I sort of just chalked it up to "I just don't remember being in love with her."

Well, I had something of an epiphany, and I realized the woman I personally fell in love with was one Pike Trickfoot. It would certainly explain the otherwise unexplained fondness I had for her as a character since day 1 that was distinctly unlike how I felt about the others.

Unfortunately this means an even more confusing divergent kin canon to piece together, including direct contradiction with D&D race lore. But damn it, I'm just happy to finally remember my wife. I'm happy to have finally realized she was my wife, and I'm happy I no longer have to try and convince myself I was in love with someone else just because I was in source.

Pike, my dear, I love you. I hope to one day find you. If even a single Pike who loved her Percy read this, my day would be made.

Possible spoiler warning for TLOVM Season 2. I'll try to keep my reactions vague. If you want to go into it completely blind, I suggest not reading.

So we watched more. Season 2 isn't fully out yet, and I'm not sure whether or not that's worse. It was so much. So much. Even the first episode. I already knew it was going to happen, because I remember it from when I experienced it firsthand. But seeing it animated and fully voice acted right in front of me made it so. Real. It was devastating to watch.

How this, in six episodes, managed to shake me to my core far harder than the entire first season of my "facing childhood trauma adventure," I do not know. But I do know I am not looking forward to the emotional aftermath of when I watch the rest. I've shed tears once already. Watching him seal his fate in real time hurt far more than anything else so far.

I'm scared to see what happens next. I know what happened for me, but it's anyone's guess if or how they'll be presenting it in the show. The dread and unease is still fresh and still strong.

Sorry for the vent. I'm in desperate need of someone to keep talking to, even about the good things. I think it'd be unhealthy if I didn't post somewhere.

(MPC, the post that I will be referring to has been incorrectly tagged, I'm not sure if anyone else has made you aware of it. The ask talking about Percy and the de Rolo's is about Vox Machina, not PJO. I'm not who sent it in, but I do think that they might appreciate it being properly tagged. I also don't know how to link things properly, I would if I knew how.)

Cassandra... I don't know what to say. Now, in this life, I can fully understand being neurodivergent, and struggling with life and academics. Back then, despite probably being neurodivergent as well, I... I didn't understand. When I should've. I should've helped you out, that's what annoying older brothers are for, right? Should have defended you against anyone who thought you were stupid, or a spoiled brat, or anything like that. Because you weren't, Cass, you never were.

I cannot fault you for finding peace with the Briarwoods. I cannot understand it fully, but you are not me. You have your own reasoning. And I will still love you regardless of who you say your family is. To me, nothing will change the fact that you're my little sister, even if we may come from different timelines. If you will accept me, I would love to be your brother again, do in this life what we could not do previously.

Let us put aside grievances, Cassandra. I am so unspeakably sorry for what you have been through, and I hope that you can know that. I shouldn't have abandoned you, but I'm here now, if you will have me. I still love you, little sister.

-Percival de Rolo, 🌻🌌🌠

P.S. Pike is here, wanting me to tell you that if you ever want some "girl bonding time", she's willing to listen to whatever you have to say. Or smash some heads with you. Whichever one sounds best.

To the other members of Vox Machina, know that I love you- all of you, so much. Just imagine I'm pulling you in for one big group hug. I can get really sappy so I won't say much more, just know that I miss you all dearly. Take care of yourselves. - Vax'ildan

Would love nothing more than to see Vox Machina together again. Even for a little bit. It'd be nice to catch up and move on with our lives if that's what would happen -Keyleth #🎸👻

Hello! Percy again. We watched it and I got her hooked! Now we're both in "need to watch the streams but there's too many" hell.

It was so exciting. She really liked it, even though we both had some heavy criticisms on the writing and how they adapted the campaign. And not only that, we're going to be watching season 2 in a couple days.

And! she's questioning if she might be Keyleth! She's not super sure about it, she's very new to kin, but the possibility almost brings me to tears. A man can dream.

So overall, despite not being able to find anybody these days, I am now in quite high spirits.

And for the record, I was offended. The very moment I came into frame, she asked "is that you in the background." We weren't even 5 seconds in to the first scene with us actually in it, I wasn't even moving. I'm still not over it.
