“and the universe said…”
i often think about how mc literally carries this entire family
imagine mc never talks about their feelings or seeks help because if they fall apart, the brothers fall apart too [in a worse way even] so the side characters confront them and mc snaps finally
and Barbatos scolding the brothers. I NEED that in my life 😭😭
Ahhh me too, my friend! I love when Barb gets strict and scolds people lol. What does this say about me? I have no idea and I refuse to look into it further.
Anyway, I think part of the issue is that MC has to be a somewhat generic character. So they never really go into how MC is coping, they just say MC can handle it all because MC is amazing! MC does it without even trying! Because that works best for the story.
But it'd be far more realistic to assume that MC has a more intense reaction to all the stuff they do. They definitely hold up all the brothers, without MC they lose their minds. And it would be so easy for an MC to be like okay I can never falter. I must be the strong person they all say I am because if I'm not, they'll crumble. Which is quite a lot of pressure.
And the side characters are in a unique position because while they care deeply about MC, they aren't as dependent on them. Which is perhaps why I like the side characters so much. They feel like they're more than just beings that exist for MC to take care of. But anyway, they have that sort of outside perspective that would allow them to see MC in a way the brothers can't. They might pick up on the fact that MC is suppressing everything in an effort to be the strong one keeping the family together.
Therefore, I think any one of them could say hey MC are you doing okay? We're worried about you. I could see them all getting together and doing it as a group and then MC loses their shit.
But imagine if just one of them did it? Like in a moment of solitude with any of them and having them just say hey I'm worried about you are you okay? And MC just starts sobbing or something.
If it was Barbatos, you can be sure he would then proceed to keep MC at the castle for an untold amount of time while he takes care of them until they're feeling better again. Before he even thinks about letting MC go back to the HoL, he's going over there to inform the brothers of how they must act going forward. It's a lecture they won't forget any time soon lol. God I love him so much.
