it is still... incredibly funny that dragon age went from you having to kill aveline's husband and tamlen point blank, bc there's no cure for the blight, and death is considered more merciful than slowly rotting away from it. and even dai included felix who has the best medical care possible, but is dying slowly from blight. and solas repeatedly says he is not a god, and those don't exist, and seems to be more afraid of the blight than anything else. and his masked empire bestie, felassan, is a funny but utterly ruthless guy, who has no problems with threatening to... melt someone's fingernails, and then gets 50 random dalish elves killed in cold blood, without even blinking.
and then in vg they're like "UGHHH, solas is so cringe and evil for not being able to cure the blight on his agent. isn't he supposed to be a god 🙄." and felassan himself is on a "people got killed...? in war...? solas... how could you let that happen 🥺" type of mindset. what happened.

I cannot stress enough how much I hate the regret memory where Solas has to kill an agent because she’s blighted.
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO DO FOR HER?!
WHAT DO YOU WANT HIM TO DO, LET HER WRITHE IN PAIN FOR HOURS UNTIL HER SANITY AND PERSONHOOD IS DEVOURED BY THE BLIGHT?!
I hate that writing choice so much. It’s so infuriating.
THIS. It’s to make Solas look bad. But it’s so unrooted in anything canon has shown us that it fails time and time again. Even the option you can pick to say is “Solas won’t help her” or “try a cure”.
There is no cure to tryyyyy????
Solas made sure she died as herself.
It was the greatest kindness he could offer.
Wait, but that's actually a thing for him isn't it? The Wisdom spirit, his agent, the Disruption spirits. The most important thing to him is that a person retains their identity, themselves. Which makes his own corruption all the more tragic.

Tbc i definitely consider Seofon/Sieten't Tricksters figure, by the meaning of the book. One of the manor aspect of tricksters is thay they "rule over the boundary, and in time even create a boundary", they're neither good nor evil by default and their choices to do good or bad is usually influenced by survival of the self or what surrounds them. They're shifting by default, represent different selves, all of which are fake, all of which are real. They're the smart idiot, the trickster who gets tricked, they usually get tricked by reflection of reality but then will learn from this trick to create opportunities so they can shift reality and trick others.
I think a lot of it applies also to our Boundary boys. Delightful read. Obsessed with tricksters o clock
I always considered him a tricksy bitch, but it's nice to get some validation for that from the resident expert on tricksters. Wait, what was that about boundaries?
That's pretty neat.
I think the main reason I would stuff Seofon into the "trickster" box, besides his behavior in Seeds of Redemption and how even in his first encounter, Siero tells you to take everything he says "with a pound of salt", is this one homescreen line from his 5*, which will always be famous to me:
But yeah, it just fits. I wouldn't consider Sieten't evil, either, he's just a different side of the same coin, not as bogged down by personal attachments. They both have the same drive to save the world, even if their definition of "saving" it are very different.
As always, I just think Granblue went in a very interesting direction with this character and I have a normal amount of thoughts about it.
Precisely! He's tricksy but the whole dynamic to identity also really fits the traditional aspects of the trickster. It also helps that they're normally also, mythologically speaking, catalysts of changes. Changes can be positive to negative. That's why Loki is the one to bring Ragnarok for example, or why Prometheus stole the fire. Those are the type of changes with Tricksters. Meanwhile it is Siete's fate (and thereby encountering Sieten't) that became a major concern of Orologia when rewriting fate. Sieten't brings on the end like Loki, but Seofon brings on stability in the skies.
As for thr boundary part:
Isn't it fascinating to consider relating to our boundary boys? And why Sieten't goes on to call himself a God.
It also fits in term of personal boundaries that this extrait talks about, in the inner circle, how he's both in and out and it's genuinely his role in SOR.
So. Yeah. He's def a Trickster Archetype. To me.
Not much to add (though much to think about) except for how that fits with how Seofon is mentioned to be a drifter just passing through places, never really settling down himself. This is mostly emphasized in the beginning of Heart of the Sun during his chat with the King of Radlith, but other moments touch upon it, that he comes and goes at random, even if he's with the crew, never settling down or putting down roots.
Recently there's been more mentions of him spending time on the Grandcypher or on Terra, but if anything, that only further drives home how little of an actual home he has, in my opinion.
#precisely!!! nothing to add on my end but it fits him so much right?#he never truly fits in one place. in one crew.#hell even Terra is a FLYING TURTLE. it's not a *fixed* place. It moves *between* islands.#likewise for the Grandcypher. so. yeah!#granblue fantasy#gbf#gbf meta#seofon gbf#tricksters make this world#ichafantalks gbf#crimsonshadesblog
