#I think memories get distorted and after ten years or so asleep maybe ianite doesn’t remember everything but she did and does love spark

[licantropa]

okay, so ianite and spark, super complicated relationship

the main reason for that is the lack of equal standing with each other. like ianite can try to be human and do things like mortals do, but ultimately she’s not and spark will never see her as his equal. she’s his lady, his goddess, she will always be a station above him. and I do doubt that he’d want it any other way.

like sure, we the audience never get to meet spark, we don’t even get writing that is purely in his perspective, but we do know one definitive thing. he built dagrun. out of anything that he could’ve built in the name of his goddess, he builds a town! and what is a town if not it’s community and culture, a place to belong. it is under those circumstances that they even meet to begin with! under that specific dynamic as goddess and follower.

so, lord mianite proposing to jordan that when he revives ianite, it’s going to be with her as a mortal, shows a fundamental understanding on why spark and ianite were even together to begin with. I don’t think spark would’ve agreed to that deal because he wouldn’t want ianite in any other way.
