HAVE THAT CHARACTER GAIN WEIGHT AS A SIGN OF HEALING: NOW

using violence to liberate people from sweatshops, unsafe mines, and grinding poverty isn't the same as using violence to impose those things on people. the idea that violence is morally repugnant regardless of context is a belief that every oppressor throughout history would love for the oppressed to hold

ep19 when egwene goes up to bev's bedroom during the fight and caldwell as bev goes like "dont touch my stuff!! dont look at my closet!!!" and jake jokes like "bev has a picture of egwene hanging in his room" but then murph as egwene immediately goes like "is this a picture of erlin in here?" and bev goes "yeah-... dont look at that!! put- put it back in the shoebox where you found it!!". jake trying to make his hetero insinuations but murph is always picking up what caldwell is putting down. theyre on the same homo wavelength. beverly toegold the fifth is gay and in love w erlin and caldwell and murph have always both been so fucking locked in. 🫡
