Dude kalim angst is my guilty pleasure. He's gaslighting himself so much into being happy, and is so overprotected to the detriment to everyone including himselfff. Also the jade complex thing is so true holy cow
He does gaslight himself into happiness because if he doesn't he'd have a full blown mental breakdown over how awful his life is! It pisses me off when people say there's nothing wrong with his life and he has nothing to complain about!
So, I am with you girl. I absolutely love love love Silver with all my heart. Reading THAT map in Book 7 where he was alone and confronting the truth of his parentage was so PHYSICALLY DIFFICULT for me because I saw myself in the way he repeated self-deprecating things.... I could not go to tiles without crying. I don't tend to use terms like "comfort character" very much but damn... I suppose he's the closest I have to that?
Right?!? I also don’t use comfort character often but Azul was the first (and only) character that title ever felt fitting for. He’s so important to me 🥺
BRO I WILL FIGHT ANYONE WHO SAYS KALIM HAS NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN!!! Kalim has to delude himself into being happy and chases simple pleasures because his life could end tomorrow so he wants to enjoy today! He's been targeted for kidnapping and assassination since he was little and even his PARENTS dismiss that as the life of an heir. The ONLY person he trusts fully with his life hates his guts and even betrayed him and he has to overlook that and delude himself that it's ok because Jamil's been so overprotective of him his whole life that Kalim can't function properly without him. Kalim and Jamil's backstory is the most tragic in the whole game and I will die on that hill!
