#their descendant magolor is a mage who has religious connotations with his story

[perenlop]

have no real desire to replay star allies’s main story mode but i do wanna rewatch some cutscenes to refresh myself on the mage sisters dynamic and hyness bc ive been thinking about my “magolor was also raised by hyness alongside the mage sisters” hc/au

#estranged brother they dont talk about anymore bc he got out of the cult basically #i think the way he took in magolor was very different from the sisters. while he got the sisters when they were all desperate #and on the brink of death i think he took in magolor as a baby #while the sisters are not jambandran or halcandran. magolor is clearly a halcandran descendant and boy does hyness project that onto him #*projects his beef with the halcandrans onto mag #and this is why despite the ancients/halcandrans being more invested in technology #their descendant magolor is a mage who has religious connotations with his story #(ik the jambandran religion doesnt reflect christianity at all but still) #basically bc thats what he was actually raised with. nature vs nurture and all that #and i think thats like part of where his fucked up views on relationships come from too bc hyness was definitely hard on him #and hyness's relationship w the sisters was canonically very fucked up and forced and born through manipulation #and i think hyness actually would have thrown him out instead of mag leaving of his own accord #(bc mag was obsessed with his ancestors and wanted to be like them and that pissed hyness off) #i also think that like mag was treated harshly and when he left zan was the one to get the worst of hyness's abuse #bc the roles shifted and now shes the one being isolated and forced to depend only on his religion and devotion #(can u tell im not a fan of how hyness was canonically handled. im leaning into him being a literal cult leader in my head lol) #bc textually thats just what he is and im kinda miffed that the dlc just glosses over it w ''oh he was nice at some point tho'' #why were ppl comparing magolor to lusamine when hyness is the one who actually has the same writing issues as her #anyways tho back to mag. yeah hyness shaped his worldviews and shit #oh my god wait i could also say that part of magolor's robe is based off of hyness's look #and how magolor basically puts his face on everything #and you can take two things from that. one is that hyness perhaps forced it onto him to the point where mag keeps that part of the robe #even after hes been kicked out. and him losing that part of it in his dream robe design is him finally moving on from him #and the alternative is that magolor added that to his robe out of spite bc iirc hyness does not like his face #and magolor was like ''well ok fuck you dad'' #which makes him putting his face on everything even funnier hes like advertising his dads face kinda #echoed voice
