anyway he is definitely not up for clarifying that things with said unnamed superior included rape - he isn't even capable of characterizing it that way because. like. in his head she was his heptarch and he belonged to her and fixating on that is the only way for him not to have a deeply compromising breakdown he can't afford
no, I'm absolutely good with wherever it goes at any point, and... Fives doesn't find any of it all that shocking, other than the part where Jedao could actually escape. Awful, yes, but not shocking
B/c with as completely dehumanized as the clones are there is just no way in hell I buy that there wasn't a significant subset of trainers who abused their charges in pretty much any way possible.
In Legends canon some of them set up a fight club and forced little boys to fight to the death, I'm sure there was sexual abuse too, and that they all knew who was involved.
AND THEN. They give someone surgery to make her look like Khiaz to see his reaction when they break him out of storage to use their undead general. Yuck.
you chose to belong to a hex/ptarch when you join a faction, but then at least they'll have some professional interest in not letting the other factions fuck with you
Giving yourself to the Kel means giving yourself to Kel Command, which is terrible and fucked up and a literally insane hivemind... and yet /looks at Brezan, who ran headfirst for the Kel and never looked back
I know. He knows he's seen as a failure as a Kel because the injection of the emotional need to obey hierarchy was unsuccessful in his case. /keels over in a puddle of feelings
yes look, this is Nico, he is obviously my baby shuos analyst who had a training incident and is scared of everything if you yell at him I will skin you
now I'm imagining Horseriver's introduction to people on the barge, it would basically just be a long list of: I have no clue who that person is but I would bet their not particularly important. if i cared enough to bet
true. None of Tris's come from the Admiral. Rosethorn brought the dog back from port, Zeph is one of Alan's constructs, and Chime came with Tris from home.
good, 'cause he's not stopping. It's his default spot for touching--on guys who wear armor 95% of the time, even with it on you can make yourself felt there
the forehead touch is the same--it's actually a stand in for a kiss that evolved from a culture where most people are in armor most of the time. 'Keldabe kiss'
Fives would be happy to swap languages if Jedao wants, he's very good with them. And is already going to learn Kryptonian from Clark, b/c why not, right? >.>
