The fact that Taliesin said to himself “how do I fix this broken character?” and the answer he came up with was “idk just finally talk about his fucking trauma at last” is like, idk, it’s a lot man.

It was so good and I’m having a lot of feelings about it?????? Percy (and Taliesin, by his phrasing!) just spent so much time trying to fix everything, first by taking vengeance, then by building Whitestone up, making all those early warning systems to prevent future tragedy – and that’s what he said to the Raven Queen, too, that he liked to fix things, and he resented so much that she said he was broken and that fixing things would be impossible and…I don’t think he realized until Vex asked him about it that being broken was actually okay, and that he’s not responsible for tragedy he couldn’t prevent. 

Honestly he’s more like Keyleth than he realizes – he takes every failure as a personal burden. He could have done more. He could have fixed it.

But Taliesin didn’t have to fix a broken character, and Percy didn’t have to fix anything at all, they just….had to embrace what Percy was and learn to survive it.

Catch me crying into my sofa about these two
