Rant on Kestrel and Kestrel Apologists:

TW: Child abuse, Abuse Apologism, and angry controversial ranting.

Kestrel is one of the most easily hateable characters and is a IRREDEEMABLE dragon.

She is literally a CHILD ABUSER. She physically and verbally ABUSED the DoD. She also let and even used her strong>weak favoritism, racism, and ableism from her strong>weak mindset towards Sunny affect the way she abused the DoD.

She also literally abused the DoD since they were TODDLERS, which is revealed within the book Dragonslayer, since Sky, who was around 1 year old - who’s currently eight years old - saw Kestrel HIT the DOD because they were playing, like any child would do, with Glory showing signs that Kestrel was abusing her the most - who are currently now 7. This means that she started to abuse the DOD where they LESS THAN 1 years old - just as, or even younger than the currently age of CLIFF, who’s nine months old!

🔥There is literal PROOF that Kestrel physically and verbally abused the DoD on the wiki AND within the books.🔥

I also want to remind people that in the prologue of The Dragonet Prophecy, when the Skywing egg died, instead of suggesting to give the remaining eggs to dragons within the Talons of Peace that actually want to be parents and/or raise the dragonets themselves - she literally wanted SMASH the DoD eggs - KILLING them instead!!

And within the prologue of TDP as well, she stated that she literally didn’t care how she affected the dragonets, as long as she raised them to be within the prophecy.

Kestrel NEVER cared for the DoD. She CHOSE to abuse them. The only reason why she tried to save them from Scarlet and appeared to Morrowseer in the epilogue was because it was her JOB. Nothing else, especially since she stated HERSELF somewhere within a main part of the first book that she literally didn’t care about them.

So when I see the majority of the fandom - or at the very least, the fandom on Youtube and some parts of the WoF wiki - is sympathizing over hating Kestrel, I honestly don’t get or like it at all, what-so-ever.

And when I hear some people say things about Kestrel that are somewhat similar to THIS:

“Yes, she abused those kids, but it was because she was grieving the death of her own kids!”

“She did abuse them, but she was just doing so because of the death of her children.”

or even

“She wasn’t abusing them, it was a form of tough love!”

It makes my literal blood BOIL.

Because while defending a fictional character’s abusive actions is much, MUCH different than defending abusive actions of a person in real life - let alone child abuse -

Defending actions like these is still indirectly connected, regardless whether it is fictional or not, due to the fact that child abuse is a literal thing happens to people in Real. Fucking. Life. Like - to this very damn day. Especially since these excuses towards child abuse like this are even used to excuse real people literally being or was abused as kids as well.

Grief is NOT an excuse to abuse literal children. NOTHING IS!!! Abuse is a CHOICE - regardless of how people were raised, or even by how mentally impaired they are. It explains it, but does NOT excuse it. EVER.

There are literal dragons within Wings of Fire - and literal people IRL even - who suffered through MORE grief and/or trauma in the past than Kestrel, that, despite it, we’re still better dragons in the end. Like GILL, for example, who lost not one, not two, but TWELVE of his daughters. And despite this, he was STILL a good dragon who cared a LOT about his subjects and sons, and tried his best to stop the literal war that happening within pyrrhia - in order for ALL dragons to live in peace - and even created a protest within Scarlet’s arena in order for EVERYONE to NOT be forced to battle each other to death for a horrible and iconic villain for her own joy and amusement.

*Sigh* I am SO sorry for making this angry, probably hateful, and VERY long rant. This was something that was bothering me for MONTHS on end, and wanted to let it out so people can know my view about Kestrel and the way she’s treated within the fandom, although this is probably a improper and bad way to do it.

I am NOT saying people shouldn’t like Kestrel as a character, or even as a dragon, for how awful she is. I’m also NOT saying people shouldn’t feel bad for what happened her either, because what did happen to her, was, indeed, downright AWFUL. Feeling things like this about her is ok!

However, it’s one thing to like a character for how awful they are and feeling bad for what happened them-

than literally EXCUSING and even JUSTIFYING her literal abuse towards literal dragon CHILDREN because of how bad you feel about and/or how intensely you sympathize her.

So yeah - In conclusion: Kestrel one of the most easily hateable characters and is an irredeemable child abuser, who physically and verbally abused the DoD since they were the age of toddlers. She also never cared for them, and only attempted to save them because it was her job. People also shouldn’t justify or excuse Kestrel’s behavior as well, since it unintentionally and/or indirectly defends the same type of abuse that is currently affecting people IRL. And while yes, you can like her character and feel bad for her, you should NOT justify her actions towards the DOD at all. WHAT-SO-EVER.

Anon also left some evidence. I put some of it below:

After all these years!! It's FINALLY out!! The team at Alchemy Paint Studios have released the long awaited Gravity Falls Reanimated project. With the work of over 200 incredibly talented animators behind it, this is a labour of love for this show that few others out there can ever hope for! So, do yourself a favour before you go trick or treating or to that not S&P approved party, and watch it and show your love and support to the whole team!

Happy Halloween and congrats to the whole Gravity Falls Reanimated team. It was an honour watching this project grow and make it to the finish line after 3 long years :P

Personal note: I came across this project many years back out of the blue and followed along to it on and off since. I'll admit at times I thought it would never be completed but here we are. A huge congrats to every single person who organized, worked on, animated and more on this. Seeing the Gravity Falls fandom still so alive and well in 2023 is phenomenal and a true testament to the timeless legacy that this show will have. You all have so much to be proud of and while I couldn't contribute myself, it was an hounour to see Gravity Falls Reanimated make it to the finish line. Stay Weird :)

King from The Owl House and Kinger from The Amazing Digital Circus

2/2

Jax also seems to know a lot about the layout of the digital circus

After he finds the bowling ball, he does a bit with rolling it down the 'zooble hole' where a bunch of bowling pins are. Could just be a joke, but the way it's shown and laid out seems more like he knew they were down there despite Kinger and Gangle having no knowledge of it, suggesting that it's not common knowledge for everyone to know it's exists.

There's also the fact Jax has access to locked areas.

The fact that Jax is even able to get into other rooms means he has to have some sort of abilities/IT admin rules within the digital world. But once again he turns the topic to centipedes to distracts Ragatha and avoid her asking further about it.

And once Jax goes to the Gloink nest you get this line:

He's been through this before, he's seen others be harmed and likely killed in this world and then go back to normal. So, that's heavy.

And once Kinger explains the concept of eating in the digital world, he immediately jumps to questioning on how he got that knwoledge:

It makes sense if Jax is the only real person who is aware of as much of the world compared to others though, since he likely is wanting to escape as well.

The fact that this is brought up is important, because it takes everyone watching the episode a while to realise that Jax is actually doing a ton of things to keep the place semi-calm. He's not some amazing figure, he is a douche to everyone, but considering the circumstances he needs a release. Or maybe that's just his personality.

No matter what, Jax knows a lot about the digital world and it's secrets and is pulling tricks like a purple Bugs Bunny to keep sane and prevent further problems. Whether it's to avoid irritating situations or whether he cares about everyone else is up to interpretation.
