I think the Ratiorine fandom really moved on too fast from the fact that Hoyo chose "charming audacity" and "dear gambler" as the first words players would hear from Ratio to Aventurine. Not the second scene. Not the third. The very first sentence players ever hear between those two.
And you know what, we also moved on much too quickly from the next scene too. Ratio was the one to start the whole "Aventurine is a peacock" thing. Why are you sitting around thinking about what alien animals your coworker reminds you of, Veritas? The joke is supposed to be that peacocks are noisy, but then they just drop that like a hot rock so the camera can do a slow pan on Aventurine's chest and Ratio can comment on Aventurine's clothing choices. Since when does Dr. Ratio care what people wear? Why were you looking?! Fellas, is it gay to compare your partner in crime to the symbol of male beauty???

While we're on the subject of Angeal I find it interesting that he is actually the most overtly self-destructive member of the trio following his descent in CC. Like Genesis is desperate and lashing out. Sephiroth falls into madness. But Angeal? He openly provokes Zack as a means of ending himself.
I don't even think it was an honor/ego thing. The guy's mom betrayed him. His legacy of "honor" was for nothing. It never even existed to begin with under Shinra. His beloved father wasn't really his father. His childhood friend was possibly dead. Everything was a complete mess.
And rather turn on the world for it, Angeal turned on himself.

I would point out how rare it would be for a curse to be passed on if it requires the death of an immortal elf but then when you consider how many times Gilear died in like a week I guess his line has a lower life expectancy than a typical elf.

also, for my tlt friends who enjoy lore, might i point you to this tor nine houses page which i figure was intended to be promo for nona but honestly contains some very interesting details about house structure and dynamics. also they describe the sixth house as “a sprawling organization of erratic loners, the Sixth are chaotic by nature and terrible at collective action” which is just wonderful
