I like charts and thinking about and trying to explain blissquakitus makes my head hurt sometimes so I made this fun little graph to try to illustrate more cleanly how I think she feels about other characters (a bunch of filled out charts under the cut)

Alrey is echoing Wylls every word. Even outside of what happened at the breakup day he's also amused that Q joined another team "too soon", and has no belief in their abilities. All their time together poisoned by what happened. Alrey has always been too passive, too calm about everything. When Q was scarred for life Alrey chosen to not even forgive and forget, but to not let it affect him. Bad thing happened, nothing can be done about something that already happened, why should he care if it doesn't affect him anymore? Thats exactly how he viewed potential alliance between Wyll and Mugm. He doesn't care about Mugm, and as long as it doesn't harm them and Wyll is not participating in Big Evil Plans its all good. Not like they could've stop him if he wanted to leave, but he's still here, so there's nothing to be worried about

And stoicism is great, it takes strength to let everything go and keep yourself together, but Alreys stoicism is too strong for its own good. Because he can be understanding and accepting, but he still couldn't fully grasp that Q can't just Deal with it when it comes to trust

It was easier when they were an alliance, or a duo, when everything affected them separately or both at the same time. They were on the same page, just with different reactions. But with Gilded, there was a third party, there was Wyll. Their team leader. Their friend. Alrey cared for him as much as he cared for Q, Alrey trusted him, he loved this team. They both did. So he was ready to let Wyll off the tas long as he doesn't cross this one very easily avoidable boundary

And this is why he wasn't ready to the fact that it wasn't enough to Q. Her district disturbed peace that they had in Gilded, and people like Alrey don't take that lightly. Why make everything harder? Why can't she just let go? Why can't she just confront Wyll and finish it?

And then he listened to entropy convo, and breakup happened, and the way Wyll made it go was the nail in the coffin. In Alreys eyes, it was Q who pushed Wyll away from them, her paranoia that destroyed everything, her inability to let go. Q was clearly not in the right mind when he was talking about "being right", but Alrey couldn't see it, he could only see Wylls back. That Wyll was on the same page with him, but with Quakitus there were factors that made him not want to be teamed anymore, that Q couldn't change. "Nufuli and Nezo betrayed me too you know" because they both have this experience, and Alrey managed to handle his anger and keep going, but Q was so stuck in this moment that he ruined the one good thing they had

There are 3 branches of reasoning for this: - The obvious gold component from all three of Mesa, Gilded, and Wyll’s luck theming - The idea behind rush coming from the wealth gem ability Rich Rush, again tying into Wyll’s luck themes and Alrey being considered to “main” wealth - The meaning of the Gold Rush, “a rush to newly discovered goldfields in pursuit of riches”. While not as clear as the other two, it can certainly be attributed to Wyll in some regards at his betrayal of gilded, and potentially as a mining motif since Alrey literally lives in a giant cave (on the server. In real life he probably lives in a house.)
