We need to fucking talk about the scene where Iason pretty much sacrifice himself for Riki, first of all itās all just raw and honest emotions here he wasnāt even trying to hide himself anymore or to pretend okay I havenāt read the books till that part yet but Iason already had changed at that point we can see it at this point itās just him loving Riki and wanting to protect him so much I just, this paragraph is a hot mess do excuse me for it
First of all, he set out to find him and jUST THAT SCENE ALRIGHTĀ :
THIS FUCKING SCENE, after HOURS of waiting and walking restlessly up and down and worrying and craving aNDĀ FUCKING MISSING HIMĀ like eVEN RAOUL said he never saw him so worried and angry nOW WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU he gets there, and,Ā he just hugs him, he justĀ hold him against him, because he is so glad that he is back,Ā and I just, I am in tears, because at the end of the day that pet bullshit half of it is only a disguise to keep him close becauseĀ he fucking loves himĀ and oh my god
We sincerely need to talk about this, first of all does Iason gives a flying fuck about GuyĀ ? Nope, not a single fuck is given for that guy (ā¦), he just broke his fucking arm so hardcore the motherfucker passed out and he was gonna leave him there causeĀ he doesnāt give a shit, and also, we need to say it Iason is a two meters tall figure of power and authority and heās packed tons of awe and fear and respect from head to toe and right down to his fucking pants (sorry), but just because Riki imploresĀ him, he is able to bend him to his will solely because heās being askedĀ that one favor of saving Guy, Iason does it, he fucking goes back in there and carries Guyās body back out to Rikiās demand. He doesnāt care about Guy, heās just doing it for Riki. (-sounds of me wailing and crying in the background-)
(also can we just talk about how Riki just asks him thatĀ ? Like you wouldnāt normally ask favors from a Blondie -well heās Riki anyway but yeah-, he just got closer to him and put his hands on his shoulders and pleaded him to save Guy, and I donāt know to me it just shows how intimate their relationship have grown in a way. (-lays on the fucking floor-)
Alright so now theyāre walking and all, lil detailĀ :
Iason slightly turning his head around to make sure Rikiās following, to make sure he can keep up with his pace.Ā
Now third point, THE SCENE WHERE AI NO KUSABI DRASTICALLY GOES UP LEVEL 455415 OF ANGSTĀ :
EVERYTHING IS EXPLODING AND FALLING ANDĀ
Mr Minkās got his priority set straight.
NOW EVERYTHINGāS COLLAPSING AROUND THEM And thereās Riki thatās so confused and weak but then thereās Iason he knows he fucking knows he knows he has to save RikiĀ at this point theyāre between life and death and he knows he grasps this he only has one priority in mind and I donāt know itās like it seems so important to him right at this instant I think that he doesnāt even care about himself anymore he just wants to save him he just wants Riki to live.
Look at his frown, look at how heās clenching his teeth, look at how heās running to get Riki to safety, look at his determination.
Dramatic and emotional close up
CONSLUSION OF THIS :Ā IASON FUCKING LOST HIS LEGS FOR RIKI, I actually believe that he was ready for anything to save Riki I donāt know it kind of feels to me like all these months after Riki returned to Tanagura all those feelings have built up and up to come to this one single scene where the whole plot would be completed and where we could see what Iasonās really feeling and what heās really all about and holy shit I donāt know how to explain but itās killing me.
Also bonus, because every second of this entire scene matters and that I need to talk about something elseĀ :
Look at that, just look at that. He knows heās doomed, itās over for him, and he knows it, previously he was all about saving Riki, and he still is, but I think that now he has taken himself out of the equation, heās not even about getting him back he just knows thatās over he just wants him out there alive aND HAPPY, I donāt know to me it feels like in a few second he got the fact that it was over for him and him with Riki and that he made his peace for it, and I think that if he was able to do so that quickly (if obviously Iām right), is just because once again, hE JUST LOVES RIKI SO MUCH GOD I AM GONE I AM OUT OF HERE I AM DEAD. He just inquire if Riki can carry out and get out of here and live and he tells him to just Go, and I just. Itās like he gives him his benediction of something. I think Iām gonna stop there for this scene cause I canāt find my word and Iām pretty much wailing at this point.
As Riki leaves his field of vision, he just⦠peacefully closes his eyes. It does feel like heās ready to die.
*eternally crying and wailing*
(after that we can obviously talk about how when Riki comes back, he says his name in surprise because he had not planned this at all, and then he just, SMILES, because heās so happy that Riki is back).
Also one last bonus thingyĀ :
Rikiās reactions.Ā (ā”āæā”āæ)Ā Iām actually convinced he felt all of that Iāve been dying over since the beginning of this post. Heās crying. Seriously, heās crying.
(God his reactions to Iason fascinates me so much haaaaaaa)
