Double Spoiler Warning for TM9 Ep 7 adn Campaign 2
They do not have the right to do that Jester and Fjord goodbye scene without a warning!
Ughhh it’s such a perfect distilling of their relationship and their growth going forward as characters. Fjord being unwilling to fully accept the idea that he deserves nice things/happiness which is then doubled down on with Vandran’toa wanting him to be angry so it can use him. Jester’s fear of being alone and attachment to the ideas of people for better or worse as it helps her with Nott but is clouding her with the Traveler and Fjord.
But most important to their relationship going forward, was something Fjord says “[he] should find his own way first”. Obviously they’re both very important to each others growth throughout the story, but something so great about Fjorester imo is how they weren’t solely reliant on each other when it comes to changing their worldviews/perspectives on themselves.
So many fictional relationships tie their two romantic leads together so much so that they are basically one person instead of two. Some do this better than others, but it’s often very… fake/unrealistic and often boring especially when compared to real life imo.
All of this is to say, I cannot wait to see how they handle adapting this with Fjord and Jester. Them leaning to become loving/great friends first as they learn more about themselves is crucial to what makes them work so well together and so far it’s been done so well. I know more heartbreak is coming before it happens but I’m so ready for it because what it becomes is something so beautiful and special.
