alina starkov i am so sorry that no one understands your character. i'm sorry that you have been reduced to the fandom's morality pony at the sake of your real personality and your depth. i'm sorry that they don't understand that you existed as a person outside of the men in your life, and that your relationship with your trauma was complicated and ugly and understandable. i'm sorry they didn't love you for this anyway.
i'm sorry they don't understand the metaphor of the sunlight in your soul representing your self discovery and growing ability to accept yourself - that every scene where you long so desperately to know yourself and then glow when you finally do is cast in darkness by those who would rather you starve yourself in the name of conformity than eat healthily at the table of self love.
i'm sorry that they didn't love you enough to see how much losing your light hurt you and i'm sorry that they didn't want you to have a happy ending that you truly wanted - one where you could be all of yourself without shame or borders. i'm sorry their love for you was so performative that it stripped you of everything you are, that it left you wanting and shamed and filled with grief. i'm so so sorry.
maven's plot twist in red queen was rly fucking good but jon the seer, revealing in war storm he killed kilorn's master in an effort to set off mare's desire to save kilorn from conscription and thus the entire plot throughout the entire books?? UNMATCHED
How do you understand the meaning behind Maven's last words "I tried, Mare"?
He tried to be what his mom made him into, but there was too much of him left deep inside. He tried to be someone Mare could love, but there was not enough of him left for that. Enough to love her, yet not enough for that tiny spark of light to help him climb out of the dark. Maybe if they'd had more time. He did what he could with what he was, tried to twist the roads and bend the destiny his mother cursed him with by using every last mental resource. It didn't work. It deformed him into that morphing monster that only his brother could see beyond. And still, didn't it count for something that he tried? Perhaps in his final hour, he wanted to see the answer to that in Mare's face, and that's why he said that. It may have all been in vain, but please show me that you understand.
