Missing my boy

TALES TALES TALES TALES TALES

"we don't talk about this scene enough"

GLADLY

Because like, for one thing, the fact that Mikleo can tell right off the bat that something is off with Sorey? I mean, that’s crazy. I had no idea ANYTHING was wrong, and Mikleo figured out that it was blindness in his eye (i was so confused when I triggered that skit, for the record, i had NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING)

Secondly, idk if this is true because I’m not good at keeping track of this kinda stuff, but APPARENTLY after Mikleo figures it out, he changes what side of Sorey he stands on in battle and things? What kind of level of devotion and concern and desire to protect, I just… I can’t with them.

Thirdly, “It’s not like you and I need to hold back on what we say” “Yeah, we aren’t like that” I WAS SO CONFUSED WHEN I FIRST GOT THIS SKIT LEMME TELL YA. Like the admission that they’re supposed to be telling each other everything and just the phrasing of it? I was sitting there like “that’s it. they’re together. they’re together and they both know it” and even today I go back and forth on whether or not I think they’re together during the game or not, but in that moment, they were so married.

FOURTHLY, Mikleo being so sad that Sorey won’t tell him what’s wrong? Yeah, that kills me. Because ALL MIKLEO IS EVER TRYING TO DO IS MAKE THINGS EASIER FOR SOREY, that’s why he stands on his blind side, and is paying enough attention to even notice things like that, and here’s Sorey who is going to keep it from him at his own expense, aka the exact opposite of what Mikleo is trying to get him to do??? It’s honestly a bit like the Sub Lord pact, Mikleo JUST WANTS TO HELP and SOREY WON’T LET HIM and no wonder he’s so sad, he probably thought they were OVER that!

FIFTHLY the fact that instead of having the argument, Mikleo says “you mean goodnight” like AGAIN WHAT KIND OF MARRIED COUPLE LINE IS THAT. THEY’RE MARRIED.

aaand sixthly just. how sad sorey is. when mikleo says that. like. he’s just trying to not make mikleo worry about him. that’s all he wanted. and now his boyfriend’s, like, not even mad at him, just. sad. that’s not what he intended to happen. he just wanted to make mikleo feel better.

i thought i was done but also seventhly, the fact that, like mikleo’s other blatant insecurities about their relationship, this is never really discussed? Like the others find out Sorey’s blind in one eye, Mikleo reveals he knew all along, they break the Squire pact with Alisha, and it’s never brought up again, except that it KINDA IS, because that’s part of the reason mikleo was so determined to get Rose in the group, was that her resonance was stronger than Alisha’s so they could have a human in the party without Sorey suffering for it. 

AND I CAN’T EXPLAIN BUT LIKE…. you know how the official materials are always like “they don’t need words between the two of them” and stuff? well it’s things like that where i’m thinking MAYBE THEY SHOULD USE WORDS, but since they don’t i’m forced to conclude that sorey DOES have some idea of how much mikleo is pushing himself and why he’s doing that. and that he DOES know how much mikleo wants sorey to let mikleo share the burden. just like mikleo knew about his eye without them ever needing to discuss it.

SO YEAH i’m flattered that someone wanted my thoughts, it’s been a while since i had a good old fashioned list-style screaming session

Not so secret Sormik Santa for @eachainn!! She wanted them celebrating some other winter holiday than Christmas so… I made up an Elysian holiday. It involves bonfires, food, and apparently making snow on a mountain that is actually mainly above the clouds. (it’s probably some mashup of Samhain/“Halloween” and winter sports olympics feat. ghostly pale and snowy white Normin. Meebo can collaborate with Lailah to make omelette norvégienne.)

Merry Christmas, fam!!
