Oh, it's Loyal !

I want to talk about Bob and how fandom treats characters with mental illnesses, because I’m already seeing this shit.

Spoilers below the cut.

Of course I had to mention the fact that Aloy barely seems bothered when Kotallo is the one offering compliments. Other people she just tenses up or feels awkward, yet Kotallo literally calls her a miracle and/or the one that always performs miracles and suddenly she tags along in the inside joke??? I've never seen her doing this any other time or with anyone else, even when Lawan mentioned her helping the work stoppage in Chainscrape and she answers awkwardly "I was just... helping out". Always downgrading her deeds or humbly saying she didn't do it alone in an attempt to lessen the weight of them. BUT Kotallo calls her a miracle and she's suddenly like :) what the hell is THIS guerrilla/ashly/noshir?????

And when she returned to the base after defeating Regalla, you can see that Kotallo probably burst through the doors and started screaming into the common room how Aloy defeated the machines from the sky with a single blow and brought Regalla to her knees on single combat challenge. And obviously he has told this story more than once as you see... Zo's thrilled response lol (I doubt he didn't made it sound even more incredible and creative as he repeated it. I also hc he told to each one of the gaia gang individually because they always say "Kotallo told me" instead of using "us", he did that just so he could tell the story three times lmao this man is hopelessly in love). AND Aloy doesn't seem at all annoyed he did so, the first thing they say to her is this that and she just nods or play along like "sorry to disappoint" SERIOUSLY WHAT THE ACTUAL F*. I am going crazy, this could me something almost irrelevant but TO ME IT MEANS A LOT??
