why are time loops always only like 1 day long?
the real horror is a months or years long time loop. no speedrunning your torture here. you have to sit with the consequences of your actions for a loooong time before the release of knowing the consequences and actions have been erased.
but oh, all the actions and consequences are gone. those relationships you built? empty. you can never build them again without the constant guilt of knowing that it's not as real the second, third, thirtieth time when you already know all their secrets and they none of yours.
but you can't hide. you can't isolate yourself because what if this is the time the loop breaks and then what? years gone by of missed chances with people who have changed you a thousand times and now circumstances have changed. you can never build back what was washed away by your own inaction. they'll never be able to meet you like they did the first time if you don't choose to meet them the first time every time

You can never have the same child twice. How many loops does it take a grieving time traveller to accept that.
ldb jackals a little easier so squishes them it comes down to being both Too Much Of A Dragon and Not Enough Of A Dragon depending on who they're talking to (they killed two dragons. That's It. so the instincts they have in there but significantly more muted) (specifically they got mirmulnir's I Can't Die Fuck you and sahloknir's devotion)
the blades see them as too much of a dragon, too pushy too demanding too quick to snap and snarl and remind them that the blades serve them not the other way around (actually ldb jackal is in constant flight v fight mode and is Struggling)
the dragons see them inversely as too soft too kind-hearted too quick to jump to the defense of the flock, they look at alduin as what a dragon Should Be and can't understand how he's tolerating them still living (partially true! they defend the flock because they want to And because it means they all look at them with adoration instead of fear) (they do not admit that second part to themself)
