@burncdheart - Asked for a Ethan Starter

"You could've kill me!"

He was quite aware that he was no doubt perfectly safe, given the way in which the girls flames had seemed to spread, in a rather unnatural pathway that avoided burning his tent to cinders, but the woodland around him that he'd been using as cover, was now gone. What was it with him and fires lately?

"Has no one told you to be careful with that thing?", he sighed, using his polearm to help drag himself back up to his feet, his own vision glowing ever so slightly, "The Knights won't be happy with this level of damage either...", and he was refusing to take the blame for this one!

Which is why he'd taken out his kamera and snapped a quick picture of the culprit.

sadness  followed  him  around  like  a  fucking  ghost  haunting  his  every  waking  moment  attempting  to  consume  him  whole.  the  way  even  at  his  best,  the  feeling  lingered  like  a  horrid  stench  causing  ethan  to  feel  nothing  but  an  emptiness  in  the  pit  of  his  stomach  devouring  himself  wholly.  he  felt  it  all  so  deeply  ;  falling  and  tumbling  to  the  prison  of  his  own  thoughts  of  never  being  enough.

  he  sat  alone  in  his  own  thoughts  with  as  a  slowed  and  reverbed  version  of  people  watching  kept  him  company  as  he  stared  at  the  wall  succumbing  to  his  own  feelings  of  inadequacies.

  a  rapt  at  the  door  pulled  him  from  this  moment,  sad  eyes  languidly  gazing  towards  the  knob  as  he  simply  attempted  to  will  whoever  it  was  away,  no  true  effort  or  energy  to  actually  get  them  from  entering. [ @quaalude ]

Hey before I go to bed does anyone else wonder what would happen if you just sprayed some disinfectant on Ethan Winters? Would it have an adverse effect on Mr Mold Man or would he just be slightly confused at best and agitated at worst?

So here’s the thing: I think a good chunk of the BTVS fandom thinks of Giles as a father figure to Buffy (of which I am one). But he discourages her from it, and I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that his trauma with his own father wasn’t healed. His representation of who fathers are supposed to be is already unhealthy, and he can see the absence of Hank in Buffy’s life is a void that needs to be filled in terms of guidance and wisdom. But he’s also very aware of what he’s capable of (i.e. Eyghon, what he did to Ben, etc.) and believes (as many abused children do) that he doesn’t fit the idyllic version of fatherhood that he might have wished for for himself. He isn’t particularly warm on first glance (though he can be), did a lot of terrible things in his life, doesn’t have a steady partner. He can anger and isn’t an infinite well of patience and forgiveness. He cannot conceptualize the idea that he’s the closest thing she has to an involved father figure in her life because that idea is terrifying. Because as a Watcher he can do his job fine but what the hell does he know about being a dad when his own was terrible to him? He doesn’t want her to get hurt by another father figure in her life, and especially not by him. Not because he doesn’t love her or care about her that way but because he feels he is deeply inadequate for the role.

Giles is already traumatized severely. He was attacked at the watcher academy at age 18 by a lorophage demon that killed several people as part of his training. Several watchers including his father had to stop the demon and save him before he died. He wasn’t much older than Buffy when he faced his own mortality, but being alive far longer than her, he faced far more death with little time to process it. His friend Deirdre who died when he was rebelling with dark magic. Not to mention that as a watcher he’s seen a ton of death by his job alone. Then you have Buffy’s first death and Jenny’s brutal death in season 2, not to mention the whole thing with Ethan being back and dragging up his past, then losing his job as a watcher, and a librarian by the end of Season 3.

By season 4 Giles is struggling. He has no employment, Buffy is growing less dependent on him, and he’s struggling to come to terms with what to do with his life. But as he’s trying to prepare to move on with his life, Buffy tells him she needs him and he stays because he loves and cares about her. But after Joyce’s death and her resurrection, he realizes that she’s relying on him so much that she’ll never move forward with him as a crutch. When he’s stepping back he doesn’t perceive this as an abandonment. He’s trying to give her a chance to figure it out on her own. And despite the fact that he is sad to go he knows he’s trying to do right by her. She perceives it as an abandonment and so do we, because why wouldn’t we? This is her show and her perspective. We’ve seen all the love they both have for one another and the respect. But this is a man who has lost so much already. Who has had no time to really process the fact that he has suffered egregiously. Who doesn’t really know a life outside of the job. Who has been shown to seek normalcy when he can.

Of course he loves Buffy like a daughter, and of course leaving her was incredibly hard. He’s been by her side for years. He’s not leaving her as she perceives, he wants her to grow. She can’t see it that way because of all of the trauma she’s gone through, and who could blame her? Getting ripped out of heaven must have been awful. For the life of me I’ve been trying to figure out why he left right after that (okay I know it was Tabula Rasa but close enough) and what I keep coming back to is the fact that he’s not just watching her fall apart- it’s everybody. Dawn is a Kleptomaniac, Willow is getting into the dark magic, Buffy is depressed and a shell of her former self, and Xander and Anya have their share of issues. He’s been the go to man for all of them for so long, and I don’t think his decision was driven as much by Buffy alone as it was by a feeling of burnout and pressure. He cannot carry all of this by himself but this is literally what he’s been doing the whole time.

This is a man who has tried to make up for his mistakes. He’s held himself accountable for his actions. And Buffy and her friends aren’t taking that accountability for their problems by that point. He told them at one point to think of him as an uncle because he can’t see himself as a father figure, but ultimately stepping away to take care of himself and allowing all of them to find their footing is very much akin to a dad stepping back from the lives of his kids to give them a chance to stand on their own. And they all end up rising to the occasion in the end like he believed they would. And despite that, he always shows up for Buffy when she needs him most.

He is a Dad to the lot of them (Buffy especially of course) in the ways that matter, but is completely blind to it because of his own thought distortions and trauma, and I think he gets penalized a lot for it in S6 & 7. And while I absolutely hated the way his arc was handled (he deserved a way better S6 & 7 in terms of his character development, finding his place in the world, and healing himself), I get why he saw things as he did. The early seasons are a better reflection of who he is on the whole as a person (esp seasons 2 & 4) but I get riled up when I hear people talking about him abandoning Buffy in later seasons when he’s literally in the midst of some of the worst trauma of his life. It’s not an accurate representation of what he was trying to do and I think he deserves more grace. He was trying to do what he thought was right, and it doesn’t mean he doesn’t love or care for Buffy or the rest of the Scoobies. But he is a whole person, who suffered massively, and deserved the same compassion that he gave those he cared about and didn’t get it back from the Scoobies and the fandom when he deserved it and needed it most.

Anyway just my two cents but this has been bugging me for a while.

Was anyone else scarred by Ethan Nakamura's death in the Last Olympian growing up? Maybe it's because I'm afraid of heights but falling from Olympus sounds like such a terrifying way to go. I always felt really bad for the guy, especially because his mum took his eye, spent years fending for himself, I'm pretty sure the titan army conditions wereny great, all to get yeeted off Olympus :(

#ethan nakamura #his death was brutal to me #and he really wasnt that bad of a guy and even switched in the end #he just wanted respect for minor gods and their children #thats rough buddy #pjo #pjo book series #just musing #percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackson series #pjo the last Olympian #the last olympian

this is not my serious answer to the question i have gotten so many good suggestions but how do we as a society feel about "calendayne + giles." i think it has its merits (i.e. being the funniest possible way to approach this possible situation)

You know what, given that I once wrote like 16k words for it and, after rereading today, it contains quite a few exchanges that I am very proud of, I might just go ahead and upload the playable draft of a superhero IF (with a twist, naturally) I had in the works before. It is perhaps the one game project where I feel like I've already nailed the stats it should track, and the premise allowed for quite a range for the MC, plus the stat screen looked cool to me... Just something fun that is written anyway 🤔

#just musings I haven't been working on it aside from wrapping the last choice of what is already written #1 like and I might do it #i just miss ethan sometimes...
