[volfoss]

actually it does always make me insane in fiction when characters act kind of harsh towards each other but actually would sacrifice everything for each other. like i think volfoss does this really well with veycer and sheala bc YES veycer sucks. hes the worst man alive etc. but even if he is willing to do something that seems outwardly cruel to sheala, it is actually there for her protection and its handled so well. like the way that veycer in every route minus the war route/bad route is just seen as like. yeah hes kind of a dick and then you see how he does care about his family and those he is close to (do NOT get me started on him w frokiston ok. we would be here for hours). like you don't see him as a stereotypically kind character even IN the bad routes (for this post and like. generally- this refers to the ikuaipe and evil endings), he cheers when a character who you thought was close to him died, he isn't particularly nice to shalvas at first, but the kicker for me is how the evil route handles him as a character w a lot of depth. w the evil route, shalvas is on his side (veycer leads the ikuaipe army, so shalvas is helping out as a kind of freelance agent) but due to being evil shalvas does attack the ikuaipe army a bit (not just them but. for the purposes of NOT spoiling the evil arc fully i wont get into details a ton). and for a bit its unclear if it really was shalvas that fafreem (another trooper) saw and i cannot emphasize enough how veycer just REFUSES to believe it. because he did get attached to shalvas and cares about him and just. cannot believe in his heart that shalvas would do something that cruel. that kind of character gets me every time.
