I feel like Vex in the role of a disgraced formling isn’t talked about enough because wdym the event of him turning out to be formless literally caused so much fear for everyone involved that for generations children end up afraid of being the same. He’s become like a cautionary tale, barely real anymore, a way to scare children into listening to their parents and rules and such.
If I turned into just that and barely a real person anymore I’d be pretty pissed as well.
