going through main tags is always so fun and enlightening cause im stumbling upon a bunch of people watching campaign 1 of CR for the first time (or the show w/e) and getting mad at vax for "making poor decisions with his wellbeing and lovelife" and like. babe that's his ENTIRE CHARACTER. he genuinely makes actively worse decisions than caleb and fjord COMBINED he also is just usually not remorseful/ reflective about it. I mean he gets sad and stroppy by the end about basically everything but he never like. reflects on his mistakes and grows. this is the guy that bullied half the party into letting him have 2 vestiges and the boots of haste. the guy that barreled in SOLO after both VAMPIRES and FUCKING THORDAK. ALOOOOONE. this is the guy who kissed keyleth with NO FUCKING WARNING and then proceeded to get 0 confirmation from her about whether she wanted a relationship or not before ending... whatever relationship he had with gilmore and then doing *drumroll please* fuck all about the keyleth situation!! he's a very interesting character and i love him very dearly but for however cool and competent he seems you MUST remember that he is an idiot and also a dick a lot of the time!! and that's okay you can like him still i prommy!! but that's not like a part of his character for you to overlook— it's an integral part of his character that colors most of his big decisions! INCLUDING THE RAVEN QUEEN BIT
okay sorry i'm going crazy i've been having opinions about vax since 2016 and I think a lot of people try to pick apart these moments without acknowledging that there's a pretty clear through line here
