I yap about Avens text messages and my interruptions of them
Onto Aventurines text messages; it shows he doesnāt really know how to form a friendship without giving up literally everything and views them as transactional, this is also very much shown throughout the entire Penacony main quest line.
He willingly gives money to people for good luck on upcoming partnerships and collaborations. I think this also references a little bit of his love language as well with other instances later in his texts; specifically text chain 4 with his love language being gift giving.
āIf all goes well, we may still have a chance to meet againā him going against Achron was (from my interpretation) an attempt on his own life. That is how I read this text conversation. āLets say goodbye for now, friend. Aventurine sends you his heartfelt gratitude and utmost respect.ā He obviously respects the TB and cares about him, wants his journey to go well especially with āmay joy reign over your journey.ā This whole text chain is very obviously up for interpretation but my own is its his way of pretty much saying goodbye, not expecting to survive the Nihility entirely because of āthis is a scheduled messageā.
In the third text chain you get if you summoned and successfully got him he goes onto say ānow that my mission in Penacony has come to an end, I can finally use my phone in the openā. What this tells me is something we donāt know went on between him getting ākilledā by Achron and meeting up with Boothill that we do not see. Especially with the line of āit felt like I was in jailā I suspect this is when his mental health slowly started to improve probably because of getting treatment, this thought comes later in the text chain with him and TB.
I genuinely do think he had some sort of death because of him saying āafter taking that one strike from that Emanatorās blade, I waded into a river wider than any I have ever seen in my lifeā which we now know is the Nihility; Aventurine genuinely thought he had died when he ended up there hence āI thought I had reached the end of my lifeā. I think he is trying to learn to be happy and accept good things in his life but I also think at the same time he is disappointed that he is alive, ābutā¦ as you can see, Iām still alive, and Iām happy about thatā. The reason I say he is disappointed is again the IPC Stonehearts preview with Aventurine and Sugilite.
I wonder if what he means by āAventurines death was a necessary part of the planā means he killed off part of himself after the fight with Achron and wondering through the Nihility.
āFortunately, I met a Knight of Beauty and narrowly escaped death with his helpā what this tells me is that he was 100% prepared to die; however, Argenti saved his ass and probably gave him a stern talking to. What they talked about we will never know but Aventurineās mental health obviously started to improve after that moment.
āBut I have been having various nightmares these past few days, waking up drenched in sweat every single timeā. There are a few ways we can interpret this specific message; either its nightmares about everything that happened to him in Penacony, nightmares about his past/reliving traumatic moments in his life via his dreams, or both. āThankfully the IPC has arranged for a Doctor of Chaos, to give me a thorough examination, and things have improvedā now if we take into account the whole āit felt like I was in jailā he was probably either hospitalized for a check up but the āthorough examinationā bit tells me it was probably mental health related. I could entirely be reaching here.
āThe dreamscape may be a bustling place, but there arenāt many āfriendsā. I gotta find ways to make do, wouldnāt you say?ā Its obvious to me the only people he genuinely trusts that are alive especially with this line are both the TB and Dr. Ratio. The only way he knows how to make friends is with mind games and really bad plans, and he is lucky if anyone sticks around after that. Itās one of the biggest reasons I love AvenCaeTio as a ship because they all trust each other in some capacity. āThanks for helping me through the tough times. Hope I wasnāt a botherā shows me he has so little confidence in his relationships he does everything he can to either self distruct it or get the other person to leave and is shocked when people like Caelus and Ratio stick around and still talk to him; you can see this again in the Penacony story line and with his ending message of āguess Iāll find fun somewhere else, see yaā.
I have to make a part two cause of the 10 photo limit šššš. This is all you will get till tomorrow I think LOL
