Im Getting Sad About Tycho Again Fuck My Entire Life.

he fucking realized .he realized I never noticed. after hang brain LIKE. I MENTIONED BEFORE that like tycho clings to his title of 'mercenary' because its like. he can't accept that he's lost, that he has no agency here.

he kills durandal and it doesn't feel good like he hoped it would, and he's punished for every little bit of agency he fought for, and he's tortured and trapped in a box now that he's not needed. and. he's not a mercenary, he doesn't know what he is.

Tycho Calling Durandal The Bright Son Of Bernhard Is Like. Puts Head In My Hands. Idk Why It Hits So

Tycho calling Durandal “the bright son of Bernhard” is like. Puts head in my hands. Idk why it hits so hard but it DOES

feel like part of tycho's rage stems from his view that the relationship btwn the marathon ais was familial - tho that's just a guess since we don't have any convos w/ him & leela - just durandal. but i think tycho's 'son of bernhard' label strauss' history with durandal pre-marathon + the attention he devotes specifically to durandal; tycho simply assuming their relationship was similarly familial since he didn't yet know about strauss' abuse. also reads to me as tycho being incredibly envious of durandal's relationship with strauss - or rather how much attention strauss gave him. despite strauss being marathon's science director & tycho's domain being science & engineering it was 'sarcastic door guy' durandal who was the subject of strauss' experiments (& thus attention). tycho is probably especially aware of this because (i assume) of his frequent contact with strauss' given their respective positions. also this could be reaching but it seems tycho valued (craved?) (positive) attention from his peers (leela & durandal) which he may not have gotten from the science & engineering personnel he engaged with - much less from strauss - (hence his grudge when he's given the silent treatment from durandal for 6 years). & that couple with jealously towards durandal + his anger at the shitshow durandal causes with calling the pfhor it's like... (gestures wildly) kinda yapping at this point & ran out of steam but im just ... so many thoughts. really abnormal over them </3 sorry for the tag essay this was supposed 2 be small thoughts alas and alack... marathon durandal tycho

THIS IS ENTIRELY OPINION-BASED. There is no right or wrong answer.
