Jack!! I'm so glad he's sticking around. He's one of the grounding things Wilbur really needs right now.

Okay, but can we talk about how hilarious it is how Wilbur finds out that he was in the personal wing. It's amazing. Jack just goes "O yea I was just checkin cos you were in the personal wing but yeah" and Wilbur's brain just pauses

Wilbur "Is this a power move I need to be wary of, which doesn't really make sense but still" Soot vs Wilbur "What if he just sees me as his chil- nonono family is simply not in the cards" Soot

Eternally at war

I like how much thought goes into simple things like where to sit down. It's quite ordinary at first glance, but in royal speak, there's actually a lot more that goes into it. The thought process behind Wilbur's sitting is actually kind of fascinating.

Elytra details!! Fascinating. I love that Phil is using details of his home planet to try to reach Wilbur more, while also podding at something he knows Wil is interested in, a neat way to bond. It also helps me, the avid reader, learn so much more about that juicy worldbuilding I'm always craving. Hehehe.

Wilbur has never been more comfortable in Phil's presence as he is right now. It's an interesting comparison to make with what he was like in barely a few chapters previously. He still misses Tommy, with every breath he takes, because it hurts that his best friend, his little brother, had to be so cruel to him and leave him behind the way he seems to have. He keeps hoping that he doesn't run into him, but at the same time, the yearning is so strong. It's so sad.

of course jack is sticking around not just for wilbur's sake but for mine too I love writing him in this fic so much dlksjfkldf

wilbur is literally constantly at war with himself rn wondering if it's manipulation or if he's getting dragged into found family lmaooooo

there's so much thought put into tiny gestures like that. the table is empty except for phil. where wilbur chooses to sit is a statement being made. royal politics are all about the tiny, unsaid statements you make with your actions. after all, actions speak louder than words.

lol ngl I use those reading bits both as a way to show bonding, but also as an excuse to infodump some more worldbuilding in a way that doesn't feel forced. it serves a duel purpose so I really like throwing in those book reading scenes.

wilbur has slowly been getting more and more comfortable with phil, but this fight with tommy is what pushed him over the edge. he literally has no one else now, and he desperately needs someone to lean on. so of course phil is the logical choice here. he misses his brother so badly, but he also is terrified of seeing him again. so instead he sticks to phil, because somehow phil has become more familiar to him than his own brother.
