thinkin about all the ways that xenk and edgin parallel/complement each other

like. theyve both suffered terrible loss. edgin's is what drove him away from the harpers and 'doing the right thing'. xenk's is what drove him towards that very thing. edgin found a family despite his loss. every time we see xenk, he is doing his work alone. edgin and his family defeated the same evil that tore xenk from his. xenk brings to justice the man who nearly tore edgin's family apart. they are different sides of the same coin do you see

#and they love each other <3 #xedgin #u dont actually have to read this as ship but u see *I* am and it's my post so #xenk yendar #edgin darvis #dd:hat #the cryptid speaks #i just think they're neat dot meme #ESPECIALLY when u get into the fanon side of their dynamics #like there's so much u can do with them #xenk's found ways to healthily live with his grief? he can help edgin do the same #xenk's using his oath as a paladin as a distraction from that grief and is still mourning much like edgin? they can help each other #xenk is actually lonely as hell and maybe kinda needs to let himself have a new family? well edgin's crew likes him dont they #edgin's got some Complexes about if he could really be considered a 'good guy' after everything? xenk believes in him #i can go on but u get the gist #like again this doesnt even have to be ship just . they are similar u understand . they are good for each other

getting obsessed with a new fandom/character in a new fandom really humbles your ao3 searches. like usually ive got the search fields all filled out, it's got to be Completed, it can only be This long, i want to see These tags and These pairings and i will only read that which is worthy of me

and now it's like. does the fic have my character? does it exist? okay i'll read it

#the cryptid speaks #dd:hat #xenk yendar #Yeah im still on about him. what about it #there are 25 fics (that are in english anyways) with him and ive read like 4/5ths of them #i love being normal and sane about characters
