#anti Taryn

[fenrysmoonbeamswife]

Listen I need people to realize you can dislike a female character without it automatically meaning you're misogynistic. I don't hate Taryn because she's soft or weak or a woman or she had different dreams or ways of survival.

I can absolutely 100% acknowledge that Locke was incredibly abusive and Taryn was his victim and I completely support her ✨murdering✨ him and I can acknowledge that everything she did was the equivalent to what Jude did and they were both trying to survive.

But I can also acknowledge that Taryn was an absolutely horrendous sister/twin. The Lost Sister is literally just pages and pages of her blaming Jude for her own actions? She has no loyalty, she betrayed Jude over and over again and then had the gall to guilt her into helping her get out of her own messes. Taryn used Jude and endangered her repeatedly and then blamed Jude for all of it. And Jude still helped her and she did it AGAIN.

I don't expect Taryn to be like Jude or want the same things as her, Vivi is my second favourite character in TCP and she is flawed, she wants different things in life but I still love her. But she has always supported her sisters, she has never betrayed them or used them and even when she didn't understand or agree with them, she was always there for them in as much of a capacity as she could be as a fae.

Jude also has flaws, it's what makes her so compelling, she can be ruthless, she can be ambitious to the point of causing harm, but she would never harm her sisters. She would never betray her sisters or use them for her own gain.

Taryn was betraying Jude from the very start, then she used her when things went wrong and blamed her for it all. Jude is a much better person than me because Taryn honestly should have been exiled with Madoc as far as I'm concerned

[1800naveen]

Booktok is funny because why am I a bad person just because I like a unpopular or hated character in a series?

Who the fuck said we can't? We got booktok police or something? The book cadets? The book corps?

Are you going to have me hanged, drawn, and quartered? Am I going to the electric chair for this? Is it off with my head?

I like Jude AND Taryn. Why are you acting like I hit the pentagon or the twin towers?

I like Tamlin. Why are you acting like I murdered your pet dog?

I don't hate Adam Kent. Why are you acting like I tried to kill you?

me, watching holly black have jude’s sisters come help her in her time of need even though they fight and don’t get along: so this what sjm thought she was doing with the archeron sisters. alright.

Losing My Cool

Scene Rewrites/Taryn's Birthday Celebration 2024

Prompt: Kakashi scolds Sakura for her plan to kill Sasuke

Words: 1,450

For: ME Cuz it's my birthday and I wanted to treat myself <3 also @mintehz who loves to see Kakashi lose his cool like me XD

In all his years, Kakashi had never experienced such unrelenting rage. He’d never looked at a situation in front of him and felt himself slowly losing control of his composure.

            Emotions were something Kakashi prided himself on having control over. He was a calculated, composed shinobi capable of dealing with any situation that he faced. At least, he was.

            Today that had changed.

            When Sai had first told him and Tenzo of Sakura’s plan’s to go after Sasuke he’d been upset by her disregard of his and, more importantly, Naruto’s efforts to save Sasuke from the judgement placed onto him by the Raikage and so many others.

            That feeling had been manageable, though. All he had to do was chase after Sakura and stop her from doing something stupid. That he could handle.

            What he couldn’t handle was what he found on the way to stop Sakura.

            The three unconscious bodies of Lee, Sai and Kiba laying in the middle of the road with Sakura no where in sight.

            His blood had begun to boil when he’d realized what Sakura had done to her teammates. Her friends.       

            The people who had risked sever punishment by accompanying her out of the village during a five Kage summit just so she could lie about her feelings to Naruto’s face and run off on a half-cocked mission to kill Sasuke.

             He wanted to stay and ensure that the three were safe until they woke up, but he didn’t have time. Stopping Sakura was his top priority.

            If he’d known the lengths, she would go to achieve her mission he never would have left Tenzo and Naruto behind, but as it was all he could do was move the three to the side and apologize for being unable to do more.

            Once all three of them were off the road he continued on his path to locate and stop Sakura, but he was no longer calm about his mission. He was furious. Burning with an anger he wasn’t used to.

            The anger only flared more when he finally saw Sakura.

            Still, he did what he had to and moved himself in front of her just as Sasuke went in for the attack, shoving his hand away as he bared his Kunai toward him. When Sasuke tried to trip him he made an effortless jump over the leg and twisted himself around, kicking out and connecting his foot with Sasuke’s chest.

            With that hit Sasuke went flying back, creating distance between him and Kakashi.

            “You really meant to kill her,” he sighed, the realization of Sasuke’s attack sinking in. He knew Sakura was there on a mission to kill Sasuke, but when he’d arrived, she had her back turned to him.

            Her intention was not clear. Sasuke had simply chosen to attack her while her back was exposed to him.

            “And what are you going to do about that?” Sasuke sneered. “Are you going to admonish me?”

            Thinking about it, Kakashi shook his head. “You, I will deal with later,” he promised before turning away from Sasuke, leaving him staring at his back while he focused on Sakura. “you, though.”

            “Sensai, I-“

            “I don’t want to hear it,” he growled, the anger he’d tried so hard to control finally boiling over. “Were you even thinking when you came up with this plan? Did you use that big brain of yours to pause and contemplate this plan?”

            “I-“

            “No, you weren’t,” he cut her off, uninterested in the excuses she might try to give him. “Not only are you going after Sasuke while Naruto is out here begging the Raikage to spare his life, but you put your friends at risk in order to go through with this stupid plan!”

            Sakura winced. “I didn’t mean to. I just didn’t want to put them in danger.”

            “In danger?” Kakashi sputtered. “So instead of convincing them to go along on this half-brained scheme of yours and having at least a little back-up or doing the smart thing and not going after Sasuke at all, you decided that it would be smart to knock your friends out and leave their unconscious bodies in the middle of the road for anyone to find!?”

            “If I brought them here they would still be in danger!”

            “But at least they would be able to defend themselves!” watching as she recoiled away from him, he growled. “I haven’t been able to teach you a lot, and I failed to keep the team together when it was falling apart, but the one lesson I wanted all of you to learn was team work.”

            “I know that, Sensei.”

            “Then tell me why, if you know, that you would go out of your way to disregard that one lesson and put your teammates in danger!?”

            Silence fell over them as Sakura stood there, her eyes now focused on the ground between her feet and her mouth firmly shut. Keeping any rebuttals or arguments she may have left in her to herself.

            “You’re benched,” he declared, finally turning his back to her with that final, official order.

            “You can’t!” She argued. “The only one who can bench a shinobi is-“

            “The Hokage,” he confirmed. “And as Danzo was officially removed from the position by a vote of no confidence from the other Four Kage, and likely wouldn’t have made it through the Jonin’s vote had he made it back to Konoha, we need a Hokage to lead the village. At this moment, with the confidence of the other four Kage’s, that is me.”

            An unfortunate situation to find himself in, but there were little other options. Danzo getting into the position had already been a grave mistake. If the only way to prevent a similar mistake from being made with someone else was to step up and take the position himself, then that was what he would do.

            “But Sensei,”

            “As the Hokage I will not have Shinobi under my command who willfully put their teammates at risk,” staring forward, he watched as Sasuke examined the situation. So far, he’d said nothing, simply standing back and allowing Kakashi to scold Sakura. How long that patience would last, he wasn’t sure, and if he didn’t deal with the situation at hand things were likely to spiral out of his control. “Now, Sasuke,”

            “Got a lecture for me too, Sensei?” Sarcasm dripped in his old student’s voice when he used the honorific. A respect Kakashi had never expected from Sasuke, or anyone else, and which Sasuke clearly had no intention of ever truly extending to him.

            “No,” he sighed. “I am…disappointed. I never thought you would have fallen so far as to attack someone from behind.”

            “You knew she was here to kill me, did you not?”

            “I did,” his eyes darted back toward Sakura who was now simply standing there continuing to stare at the ground like a scolded child. “But she wasn’t attacking her, and you didn’t know until I showed up, did you?”

            “Does it matter?”

            Sighing, he shifted his weight slightly, so he was better prepared for an attack. Just in case.

            “I don’t want a fight, Sasuke,” he insisted. “I’m here to get Sakura and leave.”

            “I killed your Hokage,” stepping off to the side, Sasuke gestured to a pool of blood behind him. A pool that Kakashi could only assume, based on Sasuke’s words, had once been Danzo.

            “I’m not going to cry over him,” he shrugged. “he was a terrible person, and…” thinking back to what Madara had said earlier, he sighed. “I’m still not sure of how much I was told is true, but I don’t find it very hard to believe that Danzo did manipulate Itachi.”

            Sasuke’s eyes widened. “What?”

            “I want to find out the truth,” he continued. “I need to know what really happened. If what Madara said is true, and what I and Konoha can do about that. But to do that-“

            “Shut up…”

            “I don’t want to fight.”

            Hearing the words once again, Sasuke began to laugh. He threw his head back, eyes staring up at the sky as he laughed louder and harder. “You don’t want to fight me?” he taunted lowering his head and staring at Kakashi with cold, angry eyes. “But I’m itching to kill you, Kakashi.”

            “I see,” sighing, Kakashi stared at the boy in front of him, the student he’d failed to save, and wondered to himself if he could really take on the burden of killing Sasuke. It wasn’t the path he wanted to take, but if he had to fight to protect himself he would.

            Even if it meant killing someone he still wanted so badly to save.

I have such an issue with characters that are portrayed as sweet and endearing when they're more ruthless and disloyal than anyone. Characters that are simultaneously judgemental and hypocritical. Characters that only accept another character when they do exactly what they want or need.

If a character is ruthless or takes issue with another character or uses other characters for their own gain, fine. But own the fuck up to it, portray them that way in the narrative and don't vilify other characters for their same behaviours or lesser behaviours.

There's literally nothing I hate more than a hypocrite. A character could be the nastiest skank ass hoe ever but if they own it then that's fine, you do you. But don't pretend they're a golden retriever, sweet little flower child while they're blatantly being an asshole in the text

Levi is an adorable badass, and he just said goodbye to Taryn 🥹

“thank you for not letting me root for tom brady and the buccaneers”

[onion321]

NO NO NO. guys I dislike Taryn SO much but i do agree that the reason the fandom hates her are stupid. I don’t care about Locke. he manipulated her and she fell for it . So did Jude. My beef with Taryn AND Vivi is that THEY ARE SHITTY SIBLINGS. So sorry but vivi got on my nerves so much, especially in the first and second books because she is so unaware towards jude AND Taryn. And Taryn? to me it was the fact that she couldn’t see jude progress and be happy for her. Or the fact that through your the second and third books, she only came to Jude when she wanted to use her(firing Locke, undergoing the tribunal etc.) I completely agree that the pranks, allying with mason, and marrying Locke are parts of being a complex female character. Those are morally grey things and Jude did things like that herself. but I just dont think Taryn fallls under the category for women that are hated like that 🤷‍♀️

"we need more complex siblings dynamics"

you bitches can't even handle taryn duarte
