yes. Yes. I support you

they can make me betray my friend but they can't make me lie down and take it

I'm SO mad about how Malroth is using his feelings words and everything and I'm not allowed to be a good friend to him

its SO awful. i can barely watch this bit bc i should allowed to be nice to him. why are we doing this to him

I would not do this!

people are telling me that they don't have anything concrete against my best friend I have known for his whole life except he has "bad vibes" and

I am forced to go along with it

literally just now before a fight he said "when you did X that really hurt me" like. he is communicating! about his feelings!

he is occasionally getting a bit possessed but he apologized

why AM i hanging out with people who believe in Forever War and say they Just Have Some Concerns about my bestie?????

it would be intolerable if it weren't borne out by the story that Malroth is right and they are wrong and it's fucked up to scapegoat anyone who's a little bit Other like this

he's hurt and mad because he thought I was better than this ;_;

but apparently I am not

I didn't support imprisoning him but he knows it would take me two whacks with this hammer to have him out of there

and I just...don't

I am currently taking a break from the game precisely because I don't want to go to Moonbrooke and be forced to be mean to my friend

what if I don't fight in this fight

my options are "fuck around in a self-directed way doing tablet targets or sth, whatever" or "go to Moonbrooke"

what if I just stay up here on the battlements and watch

and I'm not feeling the former and REALLY not feeling the latter

felt

anyway, I'm here withholding everything the game will allow me to

I'm just powering thru while watching streams and things

oh wow that's a large cyclops! sure would be nice if you had a guy with a big mallet of your own!

sits here on my ass

"you have to understand :c he just makes people uncomfortable :c obviously that is a carceral offense :c"

I'm always and forever Malroth emotions about how he was built to be evil and has a voice in his head telling him he's evil and - he simply does not want to

what the builder sees of his struggle for most of the game is him occasionally grabbing his head and yelling "FUCK OFF!"

he's sitting in a dungeon we built and left him in and he's still going "FUCK OFF I don't want any of your bullshit!"

Malroth is friend-breaking up with me and he's right

(I like that he accepts Anessa's apology - because they were virtual strangers. It's not a betrayal on the same scale.)

I level up alone now and I hate it

he simply does not want to be evil!!

the deck is so stacked against him and he's just like, no! fuck off!

he doesn't wanna! he likes hanging out! he wants to build!

the story is bracing you for a seduction of darkness arc, but it's not. it's more painful.

I did my best to make the sun/Azem symbol for flag

and now it's time to be sad

I love Lulu so much

she'll yell at the devil she doesn't give a fuck

crying about Malroth...my buddy...

about how he never went, despite all the pressure, he had to be taken

and about how Lulu is measurably a better friend than us

"what if your friend doesn't want to be saved?" "he told me to smack him upside the head and bring him to his senses, I now realize for just this occasion"

reasons why this is a Jewish videogame: we end the story by TIKKUNING this motherfucking OLAM

I know nothing about this guy except what you have told me and I am incensed on his behalf

That’s my blorbo-in-law

he's VERY good

The Builders gameplay isn’t my thing but I can tell I would love him. I should watch an LP

you should, I watched a friend stream the game long before I played it myself and that was a perfectly enjoyable way to take in the story
