#diana is realizing it but it's more to do with how philippe treated matthew than philippe as a person

I'm kind of floored that Phillip Clairmont's law, the one the congregation follows to the point of fanaticism turns out to be the reason why they're getting weaker to the point of extinction. I haven't read the books, but watching the show and the reveal that daemons are the key and they need to intermingle now, it's like "Wow, you guys really screwed the pooch."

Meanwhile, we know about the Habsburgs. Or am I reading way too much into this?

SHOCKING! Segregation Is Bad!

it's so true though. Like they explain it in the story as "the humans notice something is up if we group together too much" and with the humans being humans with their superstitions and fear it makes sense. and then you add to that the hatred all the creatures had to each other and it becomes way too easy to separate from each other and lead to this whole problem.

but it's still funny to realize how SIMPLE the answer to the problem is!!!! like all of that study and struggle just for the answer to be "stop being racist against each other."

also!! only kind of related but in the book they say at least a couple times "This isn't what Philippe would have wanted!!!" about the law but it's like, this is exactly what he would have wanted. the law he made is working exactly the way he meant it to. what are you talking about.
