Thinking about moonstone Varian and how he probably won’t be evil LMAO idk it would be SO funny if he snatched the fucking moonstone, tells Raps it’ll kill her if she takes it and cool-looking moonstone Varian disappears. Except when Raps and co go home to Corona, they find Quirin is now free, Varian is NOT in moonstone form and is just vibing in his lab, running several tests on the stone as if that little thing wasn’t the cause of the fall of the dark kingdom. (this is to say that the group manages to make Varian leave the great tree in the first place)

jace being the first one to jump to call valyrian exceptionalism a farce ties so well into his bastard identity and the fact that he’s had to baldly lie about himself for his entire life to fit the image of the perfect heir…. like of course he would understand that better than anyone. people have died to protect that lie, his lie! rhaenyra telling him this garbled incoherent nonsense prophecy like it changes anything about what they’re doing or why they’re doing it. little normcore guy in targ family hell beating down his bad rebellious thoughts with a hammer every morning trying to reconvince himself of the lie, of the idea he could be the perfect shining promised prince but he knows something is Wrong. a totally mundane trivial death at the centre of the spiral. quentyn voice i must be the hero the hero never dies.
