I love how (with the exception of possession) this show really goes out of its way to say that every time a character says some variation of the “I had no choice” it’s not true: you do have a choice, you always have a choice, you chose to do that. Soren’s “I . . . I had no choice” when he stabs the illusion of his father. He had a choice, and he chose not to let his father stab a child to death. A very fair choice, I don’t think many would argue that one. He chose Ezran. Then Terry’s “I-I had to. I couldn’t let him hurt you.” He chose Claudia. Viren’s “every step I took I took because I had to” which is rebutted by his own self “no matter where you are on the path, no matter what you’ve done before, every step forward is a choice.” And Callum’s “I had to, to save my friends.” Does doing bad things inherently make you a bad person? If you justify the doing of the bad things to yourself, because you had to, does that make it easier to do more of them in the future? And if you allow a bad thing to happen because you did nothing, what does that make you then? It’s why Finnegrin’s is it such a big deal dirtying yourself with a little dark magic? hit’s Callum so hard, because it’s a question that’s probably been on his mind before. Even if the alternative is inconceivable, the choice is still there, has still been made. Exploring that is so wonderfully fascinating

Awww so cuuteee 🥰🥰
