a big part of my anti-interest in “dessknight dies at the end” ideas, along with the gross contradiction with the way toby’s work has handled characters like her, is that it often feels like it loops back to classic pillars of misogyny in fiction. let that girl have a life after (???) instead of being an untouchable symbol of a sweeter time for those around her, whose confirmed death thus represents their moving on. ⬇️this kind of thing doesn’t stop at mother figures you know
