#but it's a really incredible dynamic contrasting egos I Can Save you vs I am Going To Use That it's so much to think about

zerxus’ fault not being naive to think “anyone can be redeemed” but the prideful determination of “I can redeem them”. and how that realistic, human distortion mindset of that need of control = declaration of care, just emphasizes how important boundaries are. sometimes it’s not you to take control and take care and it’ll never be you. no matter what. and that choking humility is more painful than forcing yourself to be someone’s savior who does not care for you. zerxus not screaming at asmodeus “Anyone Can Be Redeemed”, but shaking the lord of hell saying “I Have The Power To Redeem You” just snapped my head

#critical role #cr lb #exu calamity #I’m just sitting here like oh haha zerxus blindly believing yes anything I do can Save someone cos I’ll never give up and I’ll shoulder it #and that’ll Change them but the reality of Life is that that’s Not It #and Fighting that is a form of hell honestly #fighting to prove yourself to someone who will never see you as Fighting for them is such a dissection of savior complex delusion #Anyone Can Be Redeemed and I’ve Decided That I Can Redeem Them Is Such A Mindset #and That's what's So Dangerous about coming across abusive manipulators who Know how to Use people pleasers #but it's a really incredible dynamic contrasting egos I Can Save you vs I am Going To Use That it's so much to think about
