#where kendra and seth are seeing this escalating mistreatment of the dragons by the supposed good guys

[mercutiotakethewheel]

rereading fablehaven is actually so sad rn bc like fuck im not eleven anymore wtf? i keep reading expecting to relate to kendra and seth like i used to but i just dont? like i can still feel the beating heart of love i have for this story underneath but its like different now. like this fun story is deeply sad to me now like what???

these kids joined the magical world and in doing so had to sever every connection they have to the outside world from before. they only have friends their age for like a ch of book 2, and after that they basically have no peer group. how awful is that for a couple of kids?

and they dont get to be kids anymore. seth’s mischief gathers consequences until he seems to lose it in the latter half of dragonwatch. kendra gains self confidence in some ways but then also becomes more and more burdened with responsibilities she didnt ask for and shouldnt have at the ripe age of 13-16.

like i dont even know

i might be projecting here and its def not this deep but i desperately need these bitches to re-enter the public school system and make some fucking friends their own age. please. magical or non-magical.

#fablehaven #and like it even seems to eat at the relationship they have to their parents #who more and more become distanced from the lives and emotions and actual going ons of their children #like fuck the whole umnite book 4 parents are worried their kids are in a cult #and they dont know whats going on with them anymore thing isnt funny anymore #kendra sorenson #seth sorenson #i even think maybe this is some of whats going on in dragonwatch #where kendra and seth are seeing this escalating mistreatment of the dragons by the supposed good guys #and dont seem to think twice about it either #i wonder if theyve just become so isolated with this set of adults #around this set of adults who have this ideology about preserves as unquestioned forces of good #that maybe its harder for them to put it in a context they no longer have #idk #im just spitballing here
