"damen & laurent and akielos & vere have too much history and problems to overcome through the power of love alone. its not realistic" capri is not real life. it's a story with THEMES. with ARCS. with HEROES. damen abolishes slavery and laurent overcomes his resentment and his trauma and they live happily ever after in the empire they made together for the same reason they survived that load of shit with kastor and the regent. because love was there and it changed everything etc etc. because the story is about how they triumph over ridiculously impossible odds and about how they are willing to shift their perspectives and long-held worldviews in order to beat those odds and how this is an intelligent good thing to do and that's why they win in the end. and stories after the story aren't meant to be "realistic" they're meant to be thematically consistent, otherwise the story itself was pointless. OF COURSE they can overcome All The Problems In The World with intelligence and patience and compassion and the power of love of course they can what books have you been reading???

I love how Rykard and Tanith have the most loving marriage in Elden Ring when another well-known fact is that Rykard’s father ditched his mother to go marry someone else himself. Rykard really said I would simply love my wife RIP to my father but I’m built different

What do you think of Rook's savanaclaw card? <333
I didn't get him (and I need to save my keys for Silver's birthday, sob) so I looked up his groovy, and I'm not over how incredibly dramatic and epic and cool it looks in direct contrast to the absolutely ridiculous context. just look at that dynamic action and his majestic sparkling tears and keep in mind that this is pretty much right after a bunch of characters have been dance battling for his soul.
and then even the actual moment of the groovy is just like
this is NOT a negative in the slightest, I love it all, this truly was an incredible update in so many ways
