Not a lurker anymore I guess

“Jade saved Aventurine!!!” “Jade helped him out of the kindness of her own heart!!” “Jade is such a mother figure to Aventurine!!”

mmm yeah, definitely yup 100%

Honestly this fucking speaks for itself, and I’m so glad hoyo committed to the evil on her, she’s very compelling and that’s extremely cunty I must give her credit for it, but god do I absolutely despise the people who believe Jade and Aventurine have a healthy relationship, or that she “saved” him out of the kindness of her own heart or something.

To Jade, Aventurine is an investment, nothing more and nothing less, which is why she puts her faith in him, he’s a reliable business opportunity, but that’s not the same as caring about him personally and I really need people to get the difference

If Aventurine hadn’t proved himself useful to her, she would have left him to rot in prison or succumb to his death sentence, this isn’t saving, it’s exploitation.

Jade knows Aventurine couldn’t decline whatever offer she made, and anything is worse than death or slavery, the things he’s trying to escape, so she offers for him to join the IPC to make more money for them. That’s it, that’s all she wants, she doesn’t care about how bad being in the IPC is for Aventurine’s mental health, how he literally took on a suicide mission so he could escape being a stoneheart, how even if she “saved” him, his banner name is literally “gilded imprisonment” and his lightcone “inherently unjust destiny”, so damn she did a real good job at saving him and fixing his life, definitely didn’t just put him in a pair of gilded chains.

Also like can we talk about how weird Jades comment about his eyes were? Like it’s genuinely creepy to me considering Avens eyes are a) one of his biggest insecurities and b) people fetishize them, something which Jade knows and chooses to still comment about. I hate to say it, but I feel like if this was a male Jade saying that to a female Aventurine, yall would never let that slide and Jade would never beat the p3do allegations. Aventurine was likely a teenager/young adult in that scene, and either way there is a visible power dynamic between them (I mean Aven is literally in chains looking up at her), and I don’t think if the situation was flip flopped people would be treating Jade like some kinda hero. If they were the same gender I feel like people would be shipping them though 😭

Instead, he sees how Rhinedottir, his mother, turned out. Albedo is very much human and nothing like his dragon "brothers", save for all being created by the same woman, so, naturally, his fear is not of some supernatural force acting on him. No, his real fear is seeing the path of destruction and despair that follows his very much human mother. He sees their similarities, particularly in their research, and he has to wonder if he is capable of the same level of destruction. If he is capable of destroying the place he calls home and hurting everyone he loves. If he will some day turn as cold and cruel as Rhinedottir.

But "Hleobranto Innamorato" is probably based on "Orlando Innamorato", an italian epic poem written in the Renaissance period.

Plus, the pure-blooded people were the descendants of the bloodline that founded Khaenri'ah and as such, according to medieval custom, were the ones who formed the aristocracy. And I believe, based on the fact that they had distinct features such as star-shaped pupils, that the reason they didn't mingle with the commoners (and why what Clothar did was something so "unspeakable and wrong") had to go beyond simply "because of different social status" and rather a matter of preserving the "purity" of the blood, because it contained something special that other humans didn't have. The theory is that that "something special" was dragon blood, more specifically, the dragon king Nibelung's blood (because "Nibelung" , from the epic germanic poem "Nibelungenlied", was the name of a race of dwarfs who lived in the depths of the earth).
