I might be poking at a bear here but I kinda really dislike the "all or nothing" attitude the WoF fandom has. This character is evil the worst piece of garbage imaginable or is secretly a great character and you're just a fool for thinking otherwise. It's ridiculous at times

Like I recall the stuff with Secretkeeper a while back. Now, call me crazy, but I don't think she's some horrifically abusive and neglectful parent. She did the best that she could. Was it great? No, but she was trying to keep her daughter safe in a hostile world that she was terrified would reject or, worse, hunt her. Her leaving Moon alone for days was bad, yes, but she wanted to keep Moon free from the horrors of the volcano. She loved Moon and clearly took care of her a lot. You can't just look at a character and paint them as being a "horrible abusive POS" for something that, let's be real here, is much more forgivable and understandable than anything Coral, Scarlet, Diamond, Cobra, Jerboa, or Kestrel did

#Honestly– and I am quite sorry if this is obscenely rude or tone deaf of me– but I think a lot about that one anon #on the WoF confessions blog that kept sending long winded essays on why Secretkeeper was a bad mom #and it reminded me of when a fellow friend of mine said “y'know there is a time and place for criticism and analysis and it #should be considered and appreciated..however when a person is 10k+ words deep into how Moon betrayed Winter #and how Moon is a actually a horrible heartless monster while Winter is a helpless and innocent victim the analysis #becomes less about the topic at hand and more at the writer because it reveals how they perceive things and what they get fixated on“#Like Secretkeeper anon are you good?#sp-rambles #wof #Like of course you can argue and say whatever you want for her but eventually as time goes on you're just seeing the forest for the trees #When you go in hating Secretkeeper for whatever reason of course literally everything she says or does will be irredeemable
