Hi Loves x

who wants to take me to an aquarium and spend a whole day there listening to me say “wooowwww” and “they look so cute” at every fish

not only do i think huan was right to leave celegorm, i love that he does. i love that in a story called release from bondage, it is the animalized character who refuses to be accomplice to abduction, imprisonment, and planned rape. i love that loyalty framed as blind and unconditional is neither. i love that huan, who has seen celegorm grow up and watched him forming himself into something monstrous, will not follow him indefinitely, and judges him when no one else in his society will. can there be grief and hurt and sorrow on both sides? yes, although i think for celegorm it’s at this point mostly anger and resentment. but framing huan’s “betrayal” as just mean and nasty and selfish and based in ainur4ainur sentiment removes the vital context in which the action occurs. is it betrayal to reject the harming of another? is it betrayal to walk out on an attempted rape? whose suffering are we prioritizing here?

Why am I just seeing this lmao😭😭🫴🏼.

Everyone reblog this. Mandatory.
