i cannot stop thinking about bolaire selfcest dancing help this awakened something in me. god incredible scene #criticalrolespoilers #criticalrolefanart
bolaire stronger than me bc if i had a date ive been discussing theatre with for years and i had a sickass visualizable sandbox theatre of the mind with a wine cellar sitting inside me that i can NEVER tell him about id explode from frustration. hal when are you wearing that mask
go my random crossover (i was watching chiikawa the other day and thought wow... bolaire so momonga... then i blacked out) #criticalrolefanart
(ramble) i gotta say kani is closest to demodus in this situation but. occtis fans who hate bolaire remind me of kani fans who hate momonga bc theyre like "GIRL STOP DEFENDING THAT BASTARD GET UP GET UP" and thats so funny to me like no ithink they know what theyre doing actually

i really appreciate how tal confirmed my "aspdcoded & trying their best" description for bolaire, bc his "sociopathic" nature as a weapon & relationship/struggles with empathy is such a core theme for him which is awesome for exploring a character who is a weapon and theatre mask
#criticalrolespoilers bolaires weapontypical ND(that he struggles imitating appropriate emotions) tal talked abt here rly shined in this ep. his nature prevents him from intuiting emotions, yet he tries to use the same nature=theatre to mimic and overcome it thus making it "real"
"i may not be able to care, but i care what they care about" & "just bc im performing it, doesn't necessarily make it false" are SO on the nose, and again it's INCREDIBLY thematically fitting bc hes all about presenting lies/tales/theatre and ultimately rendering them as truthπ₯²
SO BOLAIRE HAS CANONICALLY FUCKED IN HIS THEATRE (he was also confirmed canonically gay but no shit)...... could this be the "my happiness was with another" he talked about earlier or
#criticalrolespoilers they make me really sad because they genuinely care about each other really much
imo bolaire has ok cognitive empathy(he was built to enact pathos) & wants to actively assist loved ones in trouble like hal/demodus, but wasnt built with affective empathy which is the part thats "surface level" he has to act out. but he is/was truly interested in engaging in it

which is why the "just bc it's being performed, doesn't necessarily make it false" part hit REALLY hard for me thematically. i often describe him as aspdcoded and trying and ithink this is why he often sounds insensitive or tries to turn every emotional experience into a parable-

#criticalrolespoilers oh bolaire how the tables have turned (can dish out wisdom but cant take it award)
