on the topic of jealous javier i love the idea of lloyd bemoaning that no one ever approaches him and complaining about how everyone in lorasia must be incredibly superficial if him having a plain face is enough to make people dismiss him out of hand and being blissfully unaware of the amount of poor souls that try to get close to him only to be met with the most handsome and terrifying motherfucker on the planet glaring murder at them over lloyd's shoulder daring them to try it just fucking try it

deeeeeeefinitely not related to the fic i’m working on rn but i firmly believe that in the immediate aftermath of lloyd’s big sacrifice, while javier was still recovering from the battle and not yet setting out to recover lloyd, he was crashing out everyday. everyone else in the county was also mourning and sad and in disbelief but even then it was tempered by “damn, at least i’m taking this better than sir asrahan”. javier went fully off the deep end and then ran off declaring his intent to bring back a man who from an outside perspective 100% died, and when he actually succeeded everyone had to pretend like javier behaved completely normally because he’d get embarrassed if the guy he dedicated his life to bringing back knew javier cared about him

the bit where worthroad says lupellan “met a miserable end at the hands of lloyd frontera” and the panel shows javier slicing lupellan’s head off…like javier obeys lloyd not as a knight obeys his lord but as hands obey the brain. like their identities are one in the same and one can stand in for the other. like their self-schemas are fucking nasty style—(i am forcibly dragged off the stage)
