me, remembering my old "amaya and viren have a lot of similarities, specifically in being both fiercely independent and willing to prioritize the world over their family" parallels post (circa august 2021), a latter facet that 5x08 goes out of its way to show callum being Not That

#5x08 #tdp callum #tdp amaya #theme: exchange #the royal family of katolis #captain exchange hostage theory #like viren SAYS he's always done what protects his family but. he hasn't #he really hasn't #and realizing that he hasn't and how he's fucked up is like. the backbone of all his dream visions #bc like. i can't think of a single moment where viren prioritizes his children over his notions of the world / bright future for humanity #and that's kind of the problem y'know?#amaya at least IS doing what janai would want genuinely. there's respect and trust #i'm not at 5x08 yet in my liveblog but mentally. i am always there #cause like. rayla would rather die than be the reason callum did something like this - like Any of this y'know?#but also needs it to be what knocks some sense into her re: sacrifice #if people salt about this i'm literally just putting screencaps from the same episode with similar scenarios side by side
