I deeply enjoy Fordola's story for three reasons: 1) Her actions and the grave harm they caused is not minimized, softened, glossed over, or forgotten. She did terrible things. She accepts she did terrible things - and her story hinges upon her accepting the consequences. 2) When the NPCs do not forgive her, the narrative does not portray them in a negative light. The most powerful line in 4.1 is an NPC saying "You are not forgiven. Not you. You I will never forgive.

But I will thank you."

The story makes it clear Fordola is not entitled to forgiveness or absolution simply because she wants to do the right thing now - and that's okay. When people harm us, they are not entitled to forgiveness just because they're sorry. Fordola accepts and understands that. 3) The NPCs moving on with their lives is not used as reason to magically absolve her of anything. She still accepts the consequences of her actions and is still trying to make right her wrongs even if she may never be forgiven - which a sign of someone who truly has changed. Doing the right thing shouldn't hinge upon whether or not you are forgiven in the end. It should be something you strive to do from that point on, because you want to change yourself for the better. Also, there are many stories about how people who have been harmed or abused need to forgive the people who hurt them in order to truly heal and it's simply not true. The path to healing varies. Sometimes it involves forgiving. Sometimes it involves embracing your anger. Forgiving someone when they haven't acknowledged or accepted their wrongdoings and aren't committed to consequences and change is dangerous. Forgiving someone when you don't feel ready and it is not an authentic representation of your truth can damage your path to healing. It has a lot of grounding in real-world issues and handles it in a way I don't often see (most stories just go with the "you're forgiven and everything is fine!" route) - which is really refreshing.

Good morning. Y’shtola

I dont know if you're still taking them but what about cuddle headcannons With the Scions?

Thancred is, surprisingly enough, the clingiest cuddled of the Scions. Once the two of you might lay down together for a nap he’s already got his limbs entwined with your own—good luck getting loose, since he can be quite a heavy sleeper when not in the field, and very rarely does he feel quite as comfortable and safe as when he’s lying next to you.

Urianger cuddles solely with your comfort forefront in his mind, to the point that he would rather fall asleep in an uncomfortable position than disturb you if you are comfortable in his arms. You’ll have to verbally battle the man to get any semblance of honesty, and even then he’ll downplay most of his discomfort. This man would rather have his arms fall asleep than to wake you.

Y’shtola is often the one to trace her fingertips over your body when the two of you are cuddling, though after a while you start to realize that the shapes she’s drawing are not nonsensical shapes, but rather various symbols used in magic. After even longer than that, and especially if you’re a magic user yourself, you can start to decipher the slow meaning behind the symbols as a careful blessing of warmth and comfort—more in notion than actual magicks.

Estinien is a surprisingly good cuddler, but you have to ease him into getting comfortable first. Once his guard is down he can and will latch onto you with a ferocity you’d only see in the former Azure Dragoon—and a fierce passion to boot. If you’re patient enough, you might even get to see what his face looks like as he eventually feels comfortable enough to fall into a gentle slumber.

Tataru is an absolute blanket hog. She will steal the blanket, the pillows, your arms—and you will not escape from her cuddle-clutches until she decides to get up. But she is very comfortable nonetheless, especially if you’re of a race other than a Lalafell, since she fits almost perfectly upon your chest when she curls up and falls asleep, mumbling all sorts of little things all the while.

G’raha runs quite hot and can be quite cozy to lay with in the cooler months of the year, though it can be a little oppressive to have him all but wrapped around your body like a Miqo’te-shaped blanket when the summer heat is billowing through the air. He’s quite shy about how he tends to twitch in his sleep sometimes, and in a long cuddle session you’ll even catch how, in the midst of a dream, his ears flick back and forth constantly.

Alisae is an aggressive cuddler, which is to say that she will sleep *on* you rather than anything else. She’s very much like Tataru in his regard, but unlike a comfortable Lalafel who curls up into a comfortable ball, Alisae is all limbs thrown out over and around your body—it’s as if she’s trying to make sure that you can’t get away, even when she’s not in a position to stop you otherwise from getting up.

Alphinaud is so considerate when he’s cuddling with you that he’s practically passive, laying next to you but never quite doing more than that—though he’s extremely receptive if you might wrap your arms around him to tug him close like a plushie (though without the comical squeak).

Krile likes to tuck herself up against you, though she’ll try desperately to hold on long enough so that she can see what you look like when you’re in a peaceful slumber. Sometimes she likes to hum softly when she cuddles with you, old songs that her grandfather once taught her when she was a little girl who dreamed of adventure.
