he could’ve easily gravitated towards being the scourge out of his necessity of being an orphan street kid, who’s only value others bothered to acknowledge was his size and strength. an executioner is, actually, a fairly high ranking, and feared, position. gladiators may have had a history of some being slaves, but not all, they weren’t killing each other all that much, and it was more sport than anything. its actually Very easy to erase the slavery from his backstory. i think he couldve been perfectly fine doing all that on his own volition. Ill make it clear that despite how much i looooove the coliseum and scourge muriel that i Do Not care for him to be Enslaved to that position. i thought his more brutal and rough aspects about him made him interesting. surprisingly design elements like his chains didnt put me off bc i took it as being goth and dramatic and i liked them, same with his scourge of the south stuff.
and when his route came along i started out incredibly excited and supportive of it until it kept going and im forced to see how the writers of this game Actually see him, which is, not good at all. so i begrudgingly kept playing other routes because i knew he was coming eventually. so you could imagine my heartbreak when i installed it and he wasn’t a LI (at the time). there arent any LIs like him in other games afaik. big goth and indigenous coded ? (yes i caught on that as soon as i saw him) my dream.

if he wasnt in the game i wouldnt be here full stop. muriel is Literally the sole reason why i bothered installing the game in the first place.
I Literally experienced the rise and fall of this game, I witnessed this story contort into whatever the fuck it is now in Real time.Īnyway. but bc i have been in this fandom for this long it just exhausts me that this company is still covering their ears and going LALALALA after hearing the slightest critique of their racist story choices and behavior in public communities like discord. and i wont lie and pretend i didn’t Thoroughly enjoy the hell out of this game at first, I paid for coins to get through the routes faster and ended up shilling out for a muriel body pillow bc im a whore. So Ive been into the arcana for a While now, before the first three routes officially ended. I have my own piece i have to say vaguely about the recent nh discorse, especially as a poc who got into this game BECAUSE of muriel.
