Idk why but right now I'm thinking about when Rumi used their command spell on Exandroth, and thinking about the way it makes my skin crawl. I know why Rumi is using it, I know why it's warranted, but still, Exandroth at multiple points does just leave Peter alone and agrees of its own volition to go away when asked. Like from inside the text, the act makes sense, but from the outside it is uncomfortable to see Rumi turn around and not even hesitate to make Exandroth go away by force. It's not even just the force though I don't think, I think it's the act of taking away Exandroth's own autonomy, the specific spell that Rumi uses, that's what makes me uncomfortable.

I just think the existence of a command spell is fucked up and evil and the fact it can be used in incredibly fucked up ways (which it was during the campaign) makes ME feel fucked up.

#📚 my posts #📌 thoughts #the only pc that didn't use a spell to coerce others was peter i think #which u know it makes sense #but rumi thanatos and exandroth did #they feel like its okay for them to assert their power in that way #the view it as something they can use whenever it feels righteous #to be clear i think rumi has used the spell for good look at the episodes suurounding elotl...#but also rumi has used it for explicitly badd just bad #just had a person kneel for thanatos to decapitate them... scary!!#must be said this is also like something that highlights how rumi views and treats exandroth #rumi doesnt need to question if they should use this spell on exandroth its just a given to them #exandroth is an enemy and exandroth is not as worthy of autonomy as thanatos or peter #<- rumi what the fuck
