#sindri and brok? they were always side characters. always comedic relief. always there but never mattered

[sleepingfancies]

so fucking fascinated by how long sindri’s resentment of atreus was building tho like that was written so well. from “we’re sick of hearing about little people’s little problems” to sindri noticing the mistletoe arrows were thrown out to atreus refusing to listen to sindri warning him about freya and odin and tyr to atreus hitting him aside as a bear and finally culminating with brok’s death. yes sindri is mad at kratos too but the primary target of his anger is atreus and why shouldn’t it be when atreus has walked all over sindri since he was 11 years old without a single apology

#personal #god of war: ragnarok #god of war spoilers #PLEASE do not get me wrong i love atreus to death #but let's be real he's honestly treated sindri like shit #for a LONG time #and it FASCINATES me bc so much of that connects back to how kratos treated people too #kratos 'we aren't helping you because you don't matter to us' lastname god of war #as much as they've both grown a LOT and have become better people #at the same time neither of them have really acknowledged the pain they caused people they subconsciously decided were 'inferior' #they respect freya as an equal. they respect mimir as an equal #sindri and brok? they were always side characters. always comedic relief. always there but never mattered #it's SO fucking well written esp bc it taps into the mind of the player #how many people genuinely didn't care abt the huldra brothers whatsoever. they were just the blacksmiths #willing to buy and sell and craft stuff for you and nothing more #and it was only too late that kratos and atreus (and likewise we the player) recognized their importance as Family Members #ANYWAYSSSS sorry im just going absolutely fucking mental the writing in this game is phenomenal
