Occtis is my favorite character. He lives in my brain rent free. But some of y'all are so unnecessarily mean to Vaelus and her decision to break the stone (in a desperate attempt to save everyone!!!) and not think about Occtis.

She barely knows him! Yeah, they were kinda connecting and there was perhaps a tentative friendship starting to bloom. But she's so fucking old and she does Not know this guy. She met him not even 2 weeks ago. And in that moment she was having to choose between saving her family or the lost souls and instead tried to do both

Obviously, from Occtis's perspective, not having been considered before breaking the stone hurts and that sucks. Especially after we got the "only 2 people care about me" line. He might have thought Vaelus was a potential third person to care about him, and her saying she did not think of him utterly shattered that.

As a lover of angst, this is fantastic. I'm very much looking forward to how their relationship will develop from here. But some of y'all are so weird and annoying lmao. All because a female character didn't consider the guy she barely knows in her desperate attempt to save everyone. Lol fuck off

The way he keeps staring at Mel while Dana is trying to talk to him is so pathetic tbh
