like it's absolutely just a throwaway line, but any sort of celebration of jamie becoming a full-fledged piper should involve his father, right? the man who would have taught him, who he presumably aimed to be like, at least musically/professionally. we should be hearing about how jamie's father looks so proud here.
but we don't. he's not mentioned a single time in the whole of the phantom piper, let alone here. jamie's foremost memory of the event is seeing his /mother/ looking proud. as if she's the one he looks to first, she's the one whose approval he values most, she's the one who sticks most clearly in his mind.
it's so tiny and so telling and I have no idea if the author even intended anything at all with it but god am I glad it's in there
I'm never going to get over the phantom piper mentioning jamie's mother but not his father, & implying that as he got older he idolised his grandfather less but never stopped being shaped by his grandmother's advice. like yesssss tell me all about his closeness to the women in his family & alienation from the men I'm definitely not going to start messing around with his relationship to gender
