Brennan was really COMING AFTER the intrepid heroes in Fearful Symmetry. He asks most all of them their fears and just describes these brutal, psychologically devastating situations for all their characters (except Kirsten but only because oh yeah he KILLED HER).
Like Emily tries to say, oh yeah Fig’s greatest fear is seeing her friends and families hurt and Brennan’s like NAH it’s actually the fact that you believe you are putting up a charismatic front and not good enough for anyone

“I would say the biggest difference in Gorgug's appearance at the moment is, he's got goggles on, and then it's just dust here that if you move the goggles up, you could tell that his face has been absolutely, like he's at Burning Man or something” -Zac Oyama

Fabian Aramais Seacaster and Gorgug Thislespring! After finding each other in a clearing of the forest of the nightmare king at the end of Sophomore Year!
A fast sketch but this scene moved me a lot, had to share it!

Anyone ever notice how similar Lydia Barkrock is to Gorgug?
like just
Gorgug is a barbarian but is somehow the most gentle member of his party, the most thoughtful, easily the most in touch with his emotions. He only uses his rage to protect the people he cares about, his family is incredibly important to him, and his friends are family.
Lydia is another gentle giant. She is in a constant state of rage so she may protect her son (and the rest of the world). She is kind, she is nurturing she is a loving mother to Ragh and to everyone else who needs her. She also loved her party.
She and her friends set out to stop a fiend, to save the world. She’s clearly smart, even if she doesn’t have the classic knowledge that is associated with it she’s obviously intelligent.
She didn’t need to know all the history, she had her friends for that.
And then she was the last one standing, the only one alive, her friends were dead and she was holding the thing that killed them right next to her heart.
It makes me wonder if Gorgug could end up just the same.
If the bad kids didn’t survive an adventure, he was left alone with his anger, his artificers instinct and a family to avenge.
He uses his rage to protect people, he doesn’t like just lashing out, he makes machines so he can connect with loved ones, so he can understand the world.
He’s so smart, but he doesn’t have to know all the history, he’s got Adaine and Riz for that, he doesn’t need to know about the way gods and the nine hells work, Kristen and Fig are right there. He doesn’t need to lead the Owlbears, Fabian his trusty captain will light the way.
What if they all were gone. And he was left,
a hole in his heart, an ache and a gentility not caused by an absence of anger, but by a deep deep understanding of it.
What does he do then?
I think he does the only thing he can
after all
He’s Gorgug, he keeps going.

"Will it not break your hearts, when inevitably... the child grows to know only rage?"
"Did you prove your parents right, or did you prove your family correct?"
~~~~~~~~~~~
I drew this when stress-tested came out because I have a lot of feelings about Gorgug fighting so hard for people to see him as he is. I think Gorgug knows rage is a part of it, and his protective instinct builds from that. But he knows other people don't know that. Many people only see what he bring to the table as a barbarian.
And with everything that happened in the nightmare forest i can't help but wonder how the world would have remembered Gorgug if he did die on that first day of school, the kid who got detention on the first day for fighting another kid.
Gorgug knows he is more, but the pressure of making the world understand that might just break something.
(No worries i'm working on a follow up :D )
