#aaravos apologist behavior tbh

[self-spaghettification]

hmmm. you dooo make a good point, it is a very twisted definition of love that pertains more to ideals than people.

but im defense of him 💀 i think aaravos perceives everything on a more cosmic scale, and that certain things are justified be of what happened in the past (that we don’t fully know so this is just my faith in the show talking here). like possessing callum was a power play and a show of anger due to being brought back to the same place he had a view of for 300 years— he wanted to show them he wasn't in their power anymore, and show callum that despite how callum perceives dark magic as morally wrong, in the end it makes no difference, because he’s still reliant on dark magic in key moments just like other humans who see it as a good thing sometimes and not totally denouncible—basically pointing out their hypocrisy. like rayla would be hurt/dead twice without it. and to say aaravos is evil for helping humans and helping them discover dark magic and building a better world in their eyes is just a slap in the face to aaravos’s efforts (in his eyes). also there's a prevalent theme in the show that love is saying i would do anything for you. We will probably learn more about his s6 backstory to maybe justify this behavior and his lost love specifically (which i hope is humans) because something definitely broke him with how he was ugly sobbing in 6x01. I think Aaravos will be the top example of that theme

I am sorry, but I have a few problems trying to wrap my head around ‘Let’s conquer Xadia and kill everyone in our way’, ‘No problem with possessing Callums body and taunting his friends’,’fate worse than death’ ‘I swallowed her’ - Aaravos testing anyones ability to love. 

I mean with everything about him being a mystery we have yet to see a genuine comment on how he views his own actions but isn’t he supposed to be the xadian equivalent of the devil?
