my kotlc hottest take has always been, and will always be, that alden is a good dad and an objectively good person.

let’s be super clear: there is zero canon evidence that alden ever pressured or neglected any of his children. zero. if you want to make him that way for fic or fanon purposes, fine. you do you. but the second you try to use that in a serious anti alden argument, you lose credibility

#i honestly don’t even think he’s a bad person for what he did to prentice #i need people to be so real rn and realize that the cause prentice gave his life for was the experimentation of an innocent child #and it wasn’t even like she’s gonna save the world or whatever #like she’s not some prophecy child #she’s just an overpowered elf forced to go thru unnecessary amounts of trauma #AND PRENTICE IS PART OF THE REASON #also #prev tabs —>#if you’re going to bring up alvar’s whining think about this: when fitz was born alvar was twelve years old #when biana was born alvar was fourteen #obviously the parents will pay more attention to the younger children than the teenager!!!! this is common parenting sense #there’s also no evidence alden prioritized fitz above alvar or biana #if you don’t believe me: think about this. when has biana ever complained about alden favoring fitz? she doesn’t #alvar does but that’s because alvar’s only personality trait is whining that he has to share (yes share) the spotlight with fitz #he says he grew up under immense amounts of pressure but there’s no evidence that alden was the one putting that pressure on him #it reads more like a societal thing. like ohohoohoho look at the vacker boy over there we’ll see how he holds up #and if you don’t believe me on that just read biana’s registry file. it’s clear that she was put under a lot of pressure----#----not by alden but by her peers at foxfire. the council. other elves. there’s nothing from alden
