ykno...theres...amber run’s i found that has a lyric line that goes ‘and i’ll use you as a warning sign, so i don’t lose sight of what i want’ and i feel like thats....incredibly fitting....as tragic as it would be :’)

gran wouldn’t be proud of that feeling, but djeeta would be a harsh reminder of what they want & what they don’t want. and gran never wants to lose themself to that point of losing all control like djeeta has, nor do they want to be so scared of their own dad that those feelings intense for them too. it’s a wake-up call? in the worst possible sense? that the infinite question of ‘what if he hates me’ became so big that djeeta became like that.

it doesn’t ease gran’s own pain on the matter, even less since its an arc3 concept too wASNT It for that one delicious line that we both hate!!! but it forces them to refocus on what they are feeling and actually try to deal with it.

at the same time, the entire premise for that entire skin is getting the weapons powered up, and it’s going to force gran to think twice before power. if power turns you into such suffering, is it really worth it? (and one day, the answer might be yes.)

that coupled with violet knight’s speech about how it’s the people with power who are the ones to make decisions is definitely going to force them to think more about what it means to have power, and the dangers of it, and how gran wants to approach it.

but gran also very much wants to help her through this, that’s their nature, they’re always going to want to help people. but it’s very possible that they won’t be able to. they’ll still try, but since their issues are almost...very much the same i think gran of anyone is gonna struggle with it? it’s like looking into a mirror. not knowing where to start because gran doesn’t know where to start with themself. ofc mayhaps thats why needed too!! the words that they want to hear could very well be words that would help her and gran.

but i imagine their entire relation would be painful?? since djeeta is an image of laying all of their issues bare while gran is still keeping it together (& doesnt like ppl knowing their feelings).
