Nix Hydra: *masquerade Lucio*

Me: *restored fait in humanity*

Also:

So, I know people stan Morga real hard on Tumblr, but... can we talk about the implications of this chapter? Because I’m feeling like despite being a woman, Morga’s got a real hard ‘toxic masculinity’ vibe going for her. I get that their culture is different from ours, but looking at this with a modern lens:

- She speaks of repeatedly saving her son and that being a bad thing, going as far as to say she should have let him die rather than save him again. Again, this is while he was a child.

- Her only favorable comments towards the PC (that I have seen, even in the other routes) are when they express a willingness for action or are generally confrontational.

- Says that if Lucio had killed his father in honorable combat she would have approved.

- Views the whole situation as her fault for ‘coddling him’, giving Lucio no agency as a person whatsoever.

And despite that... Lucio’s here in the snow, crying, convinced no one would save him. He constantly seeks affection and praise, making it a reasonable assumption that that’s something that’s been lacking from key figures in his background. He views this as ‘love’, again, leading to a conclusion that real love, unconditional love... isn’t something he’s experienced.

And throughout it all, Morga is here, ready to kill him, convinced he’s this way because she loved him too much.

Holy. Shit.

I love Morga as a character, but I don’t even know where to start with that.

MC, watching shit start to go down:
