#I like to think she learned the Pantalan tongue and spoke it most often

The thing about the whole "Clearsight is a colonizer" thing that gets me the most is that she clearly never wanted or intended to be treated like that. She wanted a fresh start. She couldn't go on with her life on Pyrrhia due to Darkstalker's absence. She knew she would do little more than feel an ache in her heart and mourn the loss of the dragon she loved. The dragon she thought she would spend the rest of her life with. She wanted to run. She had to start anew.
Then, receiving the vision about the hurricane that was about to hit Pantala. She saw her chance and she took it. She flew for days until finally reaching the continent, being the first dragon to do so. She warned them all and saved countless lives because of it. She was seen as mystical and gifted, but that's a given when you have literal magic powers that lets you see into the future.
Clearsight spent her life peacefully. I don't think she wanted to be hailed as a god-like figure at all. She wanted to be seen as a member of the community, one no more special or note-worthy than anybody else. Her status as a prophet and deity I think was brought on in the following centuries. Wasp, the actual genocidal maniac, used Clearsight mostly as a means of which to get her way, manipulating the population into thinking that Clearsight herself foretold this would happen.
Clearsight wasn't a colonizer. I think it's a gross misuse of the word that really misunderstands both her character and the text in favour of going: "SEEE????? TUI IS BIGOTED!!!" That being said it is very iffy and uncomfortable to have Tui say: "Ohhh the reason why Clearsight basically bred out BeetleWings was because of her strong genetic material" like what are you talking about
#Ohh the reason why Clearsight bred out BeetleWings was cause of her#strong genetic material#That being said it is very iffy and uncomfortable to have Tui say: like what are you talking about that sounds very bad please no eugenics#Like could it have been better executed? Yes absolutely I am not arguing with you on that front#Like there's a lot of meh things about it that are...eughhhh I don't care for#Like that “strong genetic material” thing like. Tui no#Maybe I'm just coping and such but tbh I don't think she ever intended to be seen as a god#Or even just anything more than a dragon#I like to think she learned the Pantalan tongue and spoke it most often#sp-rambles#wof#clearsight wof
