The Worst Part of Endwalker

[Rangiswimming]

That was a subtle one that got lost in the wash. It was always a lie.

This is exactly what I meant with it going nowhere. The heavy blow that was 5.55 is now rendered to "Aw shucks look at Forchie being dramatic and throwing a tantrum" because the whole "disinherited" thing was just lip service, and everyone knew he a) would never go through with it; and b) never actually did it.

So all of this twins angst about "opposing father even if they are disinherited" just falls flat. Nobody got disinherited, it was just dramatic posing and secrets. Forchie's angst about trying to save his children even though it could turn them away and the lengths he would go to keep them safe, also falls flat because the lengths never go to his expenses.

Not that the secrets weren't weighty. But they really had nothing to do with the whole "disinherited" business.
