normal morning (thinking about jennifer scott)
#( * ooc. )#once more WHAT was oliver bowden smoking when he wrote forsaken#i've seen a lot w people being like. it's out of character for edward to treat her how he does in forsaken.#seemingly giving such preference to haytham and only training him.#despite clearly respecting women who can fight.#but to me it makes perfect sense that he is overprotective of her???#yes he respects women who fight but he watched mary and anne go through some SHIT.#he only got into piracy because he wanted to give his wife an easy life of comfort and luxury. of course he wants the same for his daughter#and he thinks what's best for her is NOT a life of fighting it's a life of luxury with a good husband#(and yes that's reductive thinking and he should listen when she says that's not what she wants)#(but he's an eighteenth century man it's what society dictates)#it just doesn't come off to her the way he means it so she builds up that resentment towards him and haytham#so i think. both reactions make sense yknow.#i don't think edward was malicious or misogynistic and i don't think jenny is wrong for assuming he was
