Equius It Is. God I Was Hoping That'd Be The Answer

jam are doomed yaoi. so much. and it kills me.

Rufioh & Meenah's friendship is... weirdly endearing to me? They have a really interesting rapport during Openbound and I think part of that boils down to the fact that they're very similar people.

Both Rufioh & Meenah share a principle of 'act first, run away, don't look back and don't feel guilty'. They hurt people and hide away from the consequences, then jump back into their lives without realising the hurt they've caused. They're a very similar brand of shitty with a similar fast and loose moral code, and I think that's why they get along so well.

The difference is that Rufioh is more of a passive pretty boy who lets his looks get him off the hook, whereas Meenah relies more on her royal status to try and justify herself.

I also think that they'd be very, very good for eachother if they were to actually do the self-reflection required to sort their shit out. They've got the same issues and having someone to go on that journey with might be just what the other person needs. Having someone with similar experience to relate to is a highly beneficial thing when you're taking the steps to better yourself.

I don't think it's romantic, though. Rufioh outright says that he likes Meenah being the only friend of his who hasn't hit on him. Rufioh also has some very, very unhealthy habits in romantic relationships and some very problematic attitudes towards women. Both of these are things I think Meenah would have some choice words with him about.

I also think that, if anyone's the catalyst for them sorting their shit out, it's Porrim. I've thought a lot about a scenario wherein Porrim realises the magnitude of what they both did to Damara and calls them out on harming her so fervently; as well as directly addressing Rufioh's misogyny.

Of course, there's always the alternative angle that they'd just enable their worst habits with eachother, but I think they're just different enough in the way they approach their flaws that they'd bounce off eachother in a way that benefits the other.

Most likely boils down to about six paragraphs of me talking out my ass, but I find it interesting nonetheless. I just think Rufioh Nitram needs to get his fucking act together.

Curious about what people's classpects are.

I'm a Rogue of Breath myself; Dersite sway.

And, yes, sharing a title with Rufioh Nitram is just as painful as it sounds.

i absolutely adore how. grotesque sov!cronus looks. it feels so true to the character and makes my skin crawl even more whenever i have to look at the bastard
