rek and possesssiveness is so interesting to think about to me, because i don’t think it’s something you’d really assume about or associate with him, even with more general insight into his character. but, like, he does display possessiveness, in both his words and his actions. it’s in a lot of things, too, all of which i think are indicative about rek. like, the most common examples i can think of are ones related to teams; take rek telling zam that “now [sb]’s real teammate is here” upon joining their voice chat during season 7. rek has a habit of referring to other people on his “team” as his, either by calling them “my boy” / “my boy [name]” (eg: “don’t mess with my boy ash”, “don’t do my boy 4c like that”, “my boy theo”), or just “my”, like when he went “what’s happening to my pangi?” (why did he. say this). he’s also referred to the tunnels in season 6 as “his tunnels”, and the end arc castle in season 7 as “his castle”. but he does this with things that aren’t so clear and cut dry to be his, too— take his recent “hiding in my enemies’ base” video, where when talking about killing ferre, he says that he hadn’t wanted to fight anyone, but that “he’s preventing me from getting to my villagers”. these are ferre’s villagers, in ferre’s base, mind you. like okay rekrap2. sure
