but right now, he's just like '... sounds like he just doesn't want to be wardened in a way that actually requires he change anything about how he's acting
Walter is an armchair psychologist and Malcolm HAS quietly found that very funny since they met >.> He has not expressed that. He's not COMPLETELY clueless
John: you can graduate through making better choices for the sake of your friends Astarion: great. guess I'll do that and then go do the rite of profane ascension like I wanted, those 7000 vampires aren't my friends John: mmm.
funny enough, like, John theoretically is like 'don't do that cause 7000 people' but his main problem is that it falls under that 'self destructive and self-hatred disguised'
he was saying that he would do as good a job wardening Justine as he did Natalie, who graduated. He was assuming Astarion must have graduated if John has a new inmate. but it was all kind of convoluted so I changed it.
Un(t)sundered
I was like thinking of a post for John and now I'm wondering if Lahabrea sees John almost like one of the Ancients, where his Self looks like one thing even if the physical representation is something else and maybe vice versa
(brought to you by John going 'okay everyone who's like 'ooo tentacles' would be really weirded out by me saying 'ooo LEGS' so could ya'll maybe quit it?)
Nammah!
: he grew up an orphan, dismissed and uncared about and he's had to bullshit his way into anyone giving half a crap about what he thinks or wants or what's important to him. Aerith remembered. It Counts.
It's a very important trust. She'll likely do a call in the future asking for people to make the reed/claudia pond. What Vincent wants, to her? Matters.
there's a kind of flow chart that goes 'this is a con > no, not a con, she's Trying > the world won't let anyone try for long > her kindness is going to destroy her > I won't be a part of that even if I know it's inevitable'
I think the funniest part of this too is that he's not the only one who has thoughts on her kindness- notably Sebastian who's like 'is this naive or does she really think'
Astarion: great. guess I'll do that and then go do the rite of profane ascension like I wanted, those 7000 vampires aren't my friends
John: mmm.
