So, I play up Fenrir to be a hate-able little jerk, and now I'm practically making a ploy for sympathy for him? Well, sort of. The point of this was that it shows the contrast between the actuality of Vilkas's seemingly less-than-desirable living situation, and Fenrir's outwardly idealized life.

The thing about Fenrir, as much as he's a bully and a spoiled brat, he's also still just a kid. A kid with the same shitty dad as Vilkas, just held in the opposite view. Bromine doesn't really care about Fenrir, he cares about what he's convinced himself Fenrir is, and pushes Fenrir to hold up that fabricated standard because he's living vicariously through him. Fenrir doesn't understand that. He believes every word his dad tells him.

Carpeith was asking a lot of Beijeye when she begged him to take Vilkas, she was desperate to find somewhere else Vilkas could go to escape his life at home, and she trusted Beijeye, but he was just a teenager himself at the time. He had no clue what he was doing. But he tried. As unideal as it was, Beijeye managed to at least give him a happier life for a while.

(Beijeye called Carpeith "Ma". Carpeith didn't want Beijeye to tell Vilkas that she was his mother, Beijeye didn't really agree with that idea, but he never told. However, he did try to get Vilkas to pick up on his nickname for her.)



Aaaah! I have to post this and run.
