i honestly love the contrast between how we see the tachonis treat occtis and the halovar treat wick. both family dynamics are deeply abusive, but what we see with occtis and primus is obviously, recognizably abuse based in fear and violence. wick and his grandmother, on the other hand, have a relationship that was viewed by wick as loving. he was the favorite, he loved her and she loved him. but the more he learns about his home life and the more time we spend with yanessa, the clearer the dangerous emotional enmeshment happening in the halovar household becomes. if primus's treatment of occtis is based in apathy and pain, yanessa's treatment of wick is an insidious kind of affection. a controlling attachment that they can publicly pretend is okay because she loves him. when everything else is gone, wick is supposed to hold onto her love for him. it is perhaps less overt than the abuse occtis faces at the hands of the tachonis, but no less horrible and detrimental for the people involved. occtis was a target for murder because he was different from him family and was unable to hide it; if wick had been a worse liar and openly deviated from the identity yanessa laid out for him, she was vocally just as willing to murder him, too

the actual worst part of the shipping scene for c4 thus far has been people's bizarre insistence to forgo the classic portmanteau in favor of cutesy, novelty ship names. like there are few things that make me fuck with a ship less than a cutsey, novelty ship name, especially when there is a completely acceptable (and understandable!) portmanteau right there. this is how you end up with something like "knightingale" which is almost unrecognizable because it elicits an image of julien and vaelus, not occtis. and yet. and yet.

Gonna be honest, I thought Knightingale was for Julien/Vaelus this whole time. A better name would be Death Defiers, as it refers both to Occtis being undead and Julien’s daredevil fighting style.

literally teor picking up thimble in the prologue and thimble picking up teor in the convergence i am unwell

teor's last gift to wick being to give him a level 20 in charisma only for wicander to immediately fail every damn charisma check he tried to make at the manor. if he was in a grave, that lion would be rolling in it.

Tbh, I’m putting all the blame on those rolls being so shit solely on Primus being so fucking tilted that he straight up murdered a high-ranking Druid without care for the consequences. Like, mechanically Sam was rolling like crap, but narratively Wick walked into a situation where his incredible charm met a raging inferno that would not listen
