#councillor alina

[verydizzyelf]

hands down my favorite interaction between the council and anyone else besides sophie is when grady made them all slap themselves in the face at the same time (truly iconic, luv u king)

but

every time i think about that part during alvar’s tribunal when fallon walked in, halted the entire proceedings literally just by his mere presence, and like the first thing he did was look at alina and make that little comment about hearing wedding bells? jaw. dropped.

and then alina immediately comes back with that bit about “well it worked out for the best” or whatever and gestured to her councillor throne? the pettiness. hilarious.

no cuz i know if i was sophie i would not have been able to keep it together. i would have been laughing so hard. it makes me cackle every time i think about it. the pettiness is truly unmatched. i love it.

so like, everyone on the council hooks up, right? otherwise what’s the point

[lucyshypemaster]

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

[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'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

[bookwyrminspiration]

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
