oh god dorian left dariax at the happiest place he could think of in the middle of having a good time so he could go fight this fight without losing someone else--
Trying so hard not to think about dariax sleeping alone that first night in zephrah. How long did it take for him to realize his best friend was not coming back.
there's also potentially a really funny(?) scenario in which dariax decides to also go find orym. and succeeds. while dorian has also found orym. so the ghosting act not only didn't work long term but also has set up a VERY awkward reunion scenario.
This scene with Dariax and Dorian is giving such βthrow the dog a ball and then run away and leave it behind while it goes to get itβ energy and itβs honestly the most gut-wrenching thing that has EVER happened on this show and yes that includes Mollyβs death.
Dariax grief counseling service takes the fuck off because heβs such a well meaning goofy buffoon that you literally canβt experience crushing grief in his presence.

Dorian's corruption arc
victuuri redraw they live on in my heart forever
DORYM FLEA JUMP HUG. FEARNE HUG. THEY'RE BACK
Dorian telling Dariax heβs going to watch him play after giving him the lute. Smiling, then going stony-faced when Dariax turns away. Turning invisible, and leaving him behind, still strumming on that lute.
Dariax, finding a little joy in playing the lute after watching his friend die. Watching his friends leave. Itβs going to be okay, because he still has Dorian. He still hasβ
But Dorianβs gone.
βI think the answer to that is, yes and no. There are particular moments, I have discovered, in a person's life where they have to decide what they're going to do next. They often start this way, although at a smaller scale. I think I need to sleep. I think I need this headache to go away. I think I need to break something, and then, you know, I think in the morning start having some thoughts about who we're going to be next.β-Ashton Greymoore

Dariax: -in magical darkness- Wait, so it's just dark? Dorian: Yeah, it's just dark. You're not physically blind. Dariax: Oh, great! So my body is okay! :D Dorian: Your body is okay! :D Opal: -38 points of force and necrotic damage to Dariax- Dariax: I'M NOT OKAY!
βDorianβs looked after meβ CRYING
I've seen quite a few people try to claim that they don't like C3 because it "villianized the Gods out of nowhere and makes it seem like some of the old pcs might have been on the wrong side of history consciously or not" and that's the DUMBEST thing I've heard in quite some time. If y'all genuinely thought the Gods are good then you clearly haven't been paying much attention to C1 and C2. The Gods have always been AWFUL, helpful and "nice" at certain times that suited them but AWFUL nonetheless. I'M BEGGING y'all to start developing some critical thinking skills because nothing related to the Gods in Exandria ever screamed GENUINE GOODNESS it was always the opposite. That said they're unfortunately useful and I don't think it would go too well for the people of Exandria if they all died all of a sudden but they shouldn't be confused for something Good and worth worshipping or loving, they're a necessary evil imo.
