As someone who has my emotions locked in a box under 7 layers of chains, something I like to fantasise about is getting to have a really ugly hold-nothing-back hysterical cry in the arms of an f/o and they don't get sick of me or judge me or tell me to pull it together! They are totally fine with comforting me for as long as I need it and they don't minimise my pain, in fact they kind of feel a purpose and honour in holding and protecting me.

Can I ask, since you mentioned agreeing 'even if under duress' - how did the Watchers convince Player Grian to join them in hunger au?
So take this with the specific grain of salt that ive never watched Evo directly (but have friends who have ((thank you wren)), so i know tidbits via osmosis from them), but my thought has always been that the riddles the Watchers gave the Evo Players were all tests used to measure cleverness and intelligence-- the whole point of them attempting to copy the mind of a Player into a Watcher larva in the first place was to try and avoid the insanely high infant mortality rate their typical juveniles go through, bc they dont understand their own limits enough to even know they have them yet. So they needed a Player they knew they could instruct and who would listen to them, and, well. Grian, for all he was rebellious and outright defiant of the Watchers, still solved their puzzles and only had to be punished once before he stopped trying to mess with them
What ive always pictured is after the dragon fight the two main elders of the Watcher colony finally revealed themselves to Grian properly-- i have this crystal clear image of the two of them hovering above and next to the central end island, looming over Grian, and like, these guys are big. HUGE. A good 5x bigger than the ender dragon itself, at LEAST. It would be hard not to feel insanely intimidated by that, honestly, especially when there are two of them side by side, blocking your entire view of the End from that direction.
Anyway picture that with the context of these two giant floating winged worms youve never seen before, who have demonstrated their powerful ability to manipulate code in a way you cant.... telling you that they have chosen you to become one of them. Thats an immense amount of pressure, both from flattery and fear, especially considering theyve punished you before for defying them. I like to think even then, Grian balked a bit, and while i dont have exact dialogue beats here, i know the Watchers continued putting that pressure on him (likely while leveraging his friendships too-- like ive always said, if Grian hadnt been chosen, BigB wouldve been, and i can absolutely see the Watchers offering to take him in Grian's stead) until he finally caved and accepted their "offer" of joining them.
Unfortunately, he didnt find out exactly what that entailed until it was far too late.

just quietly thinking about focalors splitting furina from herself... the beheading... how it must've felt for furina to stand upon her stage, seated on that lonesome throne, knowing nothing about who she was and her role in the grand scheme of things but still devoting herself to it...
to feel the thunderous shock of the loss, the emptiness, the loss of the other half that makes you, to lose your roots once the gardener has finally set you free. did it hurt, the fragments of your divinity torn from you as one would sever the tree in twain? absolved, banished, voided?
with furina's freedom comes the loss, but also the gain; a life lived for herself now.
