they must've put crack in the nod-krai character dynamics or smthn cause how are they so good!!! the different variations of found family are amazing -- ineffa and aino with their whole build-your-own-family thing, albedo calling durin his brother and encouraging him in new tasks, nefer and jahoda comedic boss-employee duo but it's clear that nefer trusts jahoda and believes in her abilities, varka being a social butterfly and getting along with everyone despite being a foreigner, columbina and lauma omg... the worshiper who takes care of her own goddess and wants her to feel loved among the people...
and don't even get me started on the ships, my god they are all so complex and compelling for different reasons!!! i could write a whole other post for the ships but that requires too much brainpower i don't have right now
