#the same people that make wind seem older and harder often seem to like... babify the older ones??? it confuses me

Wind is tied for my favorite, but I find it so hard to find depictions that I vibe with cause you either get ‘oh he’s babyyyy’ which, yknow, three adventures very capable ‘you have more of the look of a hero about you every day’ but on the other side ‘oh he’s a pirate he drinks alcohol and he’s snarky and so grown up I’M NOT A KID’ and like

he is though?

he’s thirteen????

part of the reason he’s my favorite is how, despite going through two (three?) very difficult adventures he’s still such... a kid. Not that he isn’t capable or a hero (see above adventure tally) but he hasn’t lost his wide-eyed wonder. He can be a bit of a gremlin (all the boys can be) but he’s also just... a really sweet kid who feels emotions deeply. And it would have been so easy for his adventures to squeeze that right out of him but he didn’t let them. He’s managed to hold on to being a child despite all he’s gone through, which means he’s just, really incredibly strong. And for me it’s like... if it’s such a shame that some of these heroes had to grow up early, why are you forcing the one that has still managed to hold on to his childhood to grow up too?

Basically, just because he’s capable and a hero and worthy doesn’t mean he’s not a kid. Not a baby, but still a kid, young and bright-eyed and in love with adventure.
