#councillor alina

[camelspit]

what the alina haters dont understand is that woman had to deal with keefe sencen actively working against her every day for years. as a career. yall lucky shes not worse than she is.

if i had to do that shit. let's just say foxfire would've exploded a lot sooner than it did.

I lowkey fw alina bc i too, would be pissed off if my man left me for a younger woman

[the-way-astray]

i'm aware shannon has confirmed that kenric is actually dead for real for real i just think it would be really funny if he was alive and alina inwardly and outwardly exploded when she found out

interesting, why don’t you like alina?

Her character is written quite well, unfortunately her character's purpose is to be so so incredibly aggravating. By which I mean she serves as an antagonistic force from the council's side Sophie & Co. need to work through to help push the message of how muddled morality can be.

Resplendent with many lovely moments like these:

She displays such a clear lack of awareness or consideration. The overwhelming entitlement--not just as a councillor, but as an elf. She's condescending to other cultures and has beef with children (though she doesn't seem to think of them as children, as if their having their own thoughts and feelings negates any rights they'd have earned being docile and innocent, as a child "should" be), thinks herself always correct, believes in punishment over problem resolution, etc.

It's an excellent depiction of how some people really are, and it shows how it's not only villains who can be antagonistic, wrong, and hurtful. And shows how giving people like that positions of power increases the harm they can perpetuate.

but MAN is it hard to read sometimes because these kinds of people aren't open to conversation, and without an open dialogue you can't do shit to change their mind. you just have to deal with them when you're around them and, if you can, try and chip away at that exterior bit by bit

so we just listen to Alina spout shit believing herself entirely right for it, actively condescending and insulting everyone (including her coworkers), and there's nothing to be done about it. she'd just snap back harder in defense because she's not open to change and on a huge power trip. which sucks when, like Alina, they have power and influence! she is hurting people with these opinions and power! she has a responsibility she's not living up to! it's infuriating!

as a character, great, lovely, i get it. still want to glue her throat closed every time she speaks

ooh you know it's bad when alina is on the sensible side of the debate

Who's your least favorite KOTLC character and why?

OKAY.

So.

Least favorite IN UNIVERSE or least favorite AS A CHARACTER?

Because in universe, I have so much hatred for Lady Gisela that it isn’t even funny. How could you do ANY of this to your son. Like even Vespera, who is insanely ruthless, has the whole numb-empathy-making-it-so-nothing-feels-like-hurting-people thing making her 1% more sympathetic (she still sucks majorly—don’t get me started on the thing with the humans). But Gisela just does all of this to H E R. S O N. I dislike Cassius of course but Gisela was just cruel, especially for showing at least a little affection……and then always having been manipulating him and then CHANGING HIM WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION IN A WAY THAT COULD HAVE KILLED HIM??? Also who seals a creepy doorway with their tiny son’s blood that’s just SO MESSED UP. Like, NO. Stop being the way you are. Just stop. This isn’t even just because I love Keefe. Even if you hate Keefe you should despise Lady Gisela. I hope Keefe gets to stab her. Or Sophie. Or actually Fitz that could be so good, his act on behalf of his best friend who he hasn’t talked to enough lately. Actually all three of them could stab her. Actually the whole crew could do an Ides of March and just totally Julius Caesar her…. All of them get to stab her.

BUT. Gisela is a great character. So who do I hate as a character? Probably Timkin Heks actually. His existence just angers me and there isn’t any great redeeming value to him, other than the fact that he gives background to Stina’s family and that stuff gets a little interesting. Which probably means Shannon is doing a GREAT job with the way she write him cause we’re not supposed to like him. Or wait wait wait. Councillor Alina!! GET RID OF HER. We don’t need her. GONE. POOF. She serves a purpose in the story sure, but I don’t have to LIKE IT.

I would never choose to make Gisela vanish from the story—I would choose to let the Keeper crew get their revenge (especially Keefe) and destroy her entirely. But if I could never have to meet Timkin Heks and just know that he exists for plot reasons, I’d be chill with that. And if I could poof Councillor Alina out of existence, I totally would!! Sure there would have to be another council member being gross and annoying, but I have so much beef with this woman, like honestly I hope the rest of the council just banishes her.

Anyway those are my thoughts

counselor Alina with glasses?? (and the bracelet from her sister)

I forgot the glasses (like a fool) BUT I got Alina and her sister Regina plus Romi
