Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)

still i think the one of the more fun differences drawn between illario and lucanis that was lost would be illario's ability to endear himself to others but serious lack of empathy, vs. lucanis' (self perceived) inability to be charming but how much he cares. it's interesting that the game has gone with the "lucanis' ability vs illario's lack thereof" because i think illario being the dellamorte 'best in show dog' vs. lucanis' attack dog would have made me so unwell.

lucanis is... awkward. he's not unlikable, because he is usually very polite, but he doesn't speak much and only seems to care about the other dellamortes. he once sent viago de riva a knife with no note (who knows what he could have meant by this). he does what caterina asks of him, and by his own admission, cannot say no to her. he is a dramatic and prolific killer, and that makes how untouchable he is even worse.

and the crows like illario, sure, AND he's a good assassin! he's even a good crow! he's so good that he can make lucanis smile, and so he is the charming, sociable one. he's the one that stays in treviso and can be relied upon to care, illario's even the one people prefer over caterina and lucanis!

but illario is decoration. he's the prize poodle, and even if poodles were bred to be working dogs, nobody will ever pick him to protect the house over the german shepherd that regularly mauls intruders. anyways the analogy is getting away from me. the point i'm trying to make is that i want illario to have a different kind of jealousy/hatred that's not just over 'being bad at killing' but also an arrogant loathing for everyone around him that is getting harder to hide, because they've forgotten he can bite and is just itching to rip someone's jugular out. illario is very good at hiding his family resemblance to caterina, while lucanis suffers under his grandmother's, and his own, reputation.

given cass's canonical love of reality tv, I am absolutely certain that every year babs has to go into cbs's recruitment email and delete her survivor audition video

i want to be clear, i don’t want a “redemption arc” kipperlilly because i hate her for her anger management issues. i don’t want a “redemption arc” kipperlilly because the villainy of her, for me, is in her entitlement.

it’s in her fetishization of riz’s life problems— of his race, his single parent home, his traumatic connection to the season one big bad— and her conceptualizing them as the reason he’s a successful adventurer with a personal relationship with the person running their school, when in reality, he actually just works his ass off.

kip’s faults don’t lie in her unchecked and uncontrolled anger, but in the specifics of the thing that she’s angry about. her life, in her mind (in my read of the character), is too good to be the life of a good adventurer. she has both her parents, she’s financially stable, her parents don’t abuse her like adine’s do her. sure, she has problems, but she doesn’t have the big problems that you get to put in your college essays to prove you’ve overcome adversity.

the actual problem with her worldview is that she thinks riz is able to go on exciting adventures and is able have “friends in high places” because of the fantasy world version of affirmative action or dei— because he’s a goblin with a sad backstory.

which is so mundane in its villainy, but so prevalent in so many real life people. it’s a commentary i appreciate, personally, having experienced that villainy first hand in my life, and it was extremely gratifying, for me, to watch the representation of that worldview be destroyed as quickly as the rat grinders were destroyed.

*this isn’t to say, obviously, that i think klcp defenders are wrong for defending her from her own canon ending (so far), just that i wanted to point out that purely villainous reading of her in the fandom do come from more than just the place of hating her for her inability to manage her anger bc i’ve seen a few posts that had me thinking abt it.
