Fyolaiiiiiii. fyolai always on my mind. you know what I see sometimes that im tired of. people saying Fyodor manipulates Nikolai or whatever. because he doesn't. Fyodor doesn't do anything! Nikolai causes his own downfall and he is aware of this and continues to do so anyway. Fyodor just happens to be there and make it a little more interesting. Nikolai isn't just another of Fyodor's pawns. The whole thing that sets fyolai apart is that fyodor can't control nikolai. Fyodor doesn't trust Nikolai because of this. That is good. Because that means Nikolai is special in a way. Fyodor is actually aware of him. Cue fujoshi brain. I mean like I don't know... Fyodor is often associated with chess but Nikolai is represented by playing cards. that's a whole other game. Do you see what I'm getting at. Okay maybe not. Uuuuu... Also of course I am King Fyolai but I also think that, like, Fyodor and Nikolai are still very compelling characters on their own. They're just more interesting together. I honestly don't like it at all when people act as if they're like superglued together or something
