#the zak drizzt remembers is not the full picture. its the image created by a young man desperate to have someone guide him

I honestly can't wait to get to generations bc i need the massive shotgun of the whole zak-drizzt father-son relationship to go off
#i love zak and he did the best he could#but when i see art of him being all cutesy with small drizzt all i can think of#is that one of the first things he did when meeting him was dislocating his jaw#which makes sense in context. physical punishment is near daily for male drow so it doesnt stand out as particularly cruel#its just what zak knows and he may even have been soft by menzo drow standards#but i think a lot abt that one passage in one of drizzt's thinkpieces#i cant for the love of god remember which book#where drizzt outright mentions how he was grateful that his father tried to kill him (twice!)#and how incredibly fucked up that is#zak's hand was forced to a degree. in his head the drizzt he knew might've been already dead anyway#and zak's life is all about kill-or-die. so he didnt know any other option. and if he did they wouldn't have mattered anyway#but it is still an incredibly fucked up thing to do. and imo erasing that part of him does an incredible disservice to zak's character#the zak drizzt remembers is not the full picture. its the image created by a young man desperate to have someone guide him#of a man that he had just discovered was his father and then was killed that very day#IDK. just. gestures vaguely. zak Do'Urden#bani.txt#legend of drizzt
