And working off of my previous post, something I’ve kept thinking about for a couple of weeks…
The gang hasn’t even had that hard of a year.
So their friend went missing, potentially presumed dead. For the most part, their devotion ran out after a few weeks. After that, moving on was their goal. And yes, grief can hurt like a bitch, but don’t forget that it’s not like they had known MC for that long. So how is you grieving a friend of a few weeks/months (continuity error in the book) over the period of a year sooo much worse than said friend being captured for that same time?
Yeah, MC was asleep, so in fairness, their trauma mostly wouldn’t stem from the capture itself (which is all the party thinks about when dismissing their experiences), but there’s still accounting for the fallout of the b1 storyline that—unlike the others—they’re only NOW getting to process, the fact that the world passed them by for a year and now they’re trying to catch up, the knowledge that their body was repeatedly violated for a year and they don’t even know the details so their mind can only run with the worst case scenarios, and to top it all off, that they can’t even take a minute to properly let themselves feel because they’re already on another world-saving quest (against their captor, no less) and while they think their friends would be understanding, they don’t actually show anything more than shallow concern and seem to go out of their way to make MC feel even more left out than they already do.
So yeah, how hard did the party have it? Cause honestly, unless they were an LI that MC romanced, they probably didn’t even suffer that much. And I’m not saying platonic bonds are in any way inferior to romantic bonds, but unless you’re also paying for every single social quest for the party, chances are your MC didn’t grow anywhere near as close to the non-romanced party members as they did with their LI(s).
The only party member that seems to have had it tough regardless is Nia, who has more than enough to deal with after literally getting possessed and stabbed + her new transformations. But at least she’s not actively putting MC’s experiences down, even though she’s not particularly concerned either. But anyway, it’s mostly Mal and Imtura actively putting those experiences down; Nia and Tyril have just been passively ignoring them so far (and as a Tyril romancer, I’m satisfied with the way he kept searching for a way to get to MC, which is more than I can say as a Mal romancer). Though Nia immediately comforting Imtura instead of even just considering MC’s perspective after Imtura sided with Mal doesn’t have her totally in the clear either.
So yeah, miss me with
“You don’t [know it was a hard year], though. Not in the same way. You slept through it. 😐”
“The rest of us had to live it. And not all of us lived that well. 😢”
It wasn’t bad enough to warrant how they’re acting toward MC. And I don’t care that this dialogue was just dependent on not having a certain skill; they’re still thinking and (more importantly) showing it, and based on the tags that day, a hell of a lot of people got it, so it wasn’t some obscure screw-up path. So before this gets misconstrued, this isn’t me saying the rest of the party’s had it easy, this is me saying I haven’t seen a good enough reason for them to act like they won gold in the Pain Olympics while MC just slept through the qualifiers.
