#peter x catherine

no but the thing is, when the hero falls in love with the villain she is falling in love with the darkest parts of herself. she is owning her shadow and the owning makes her stronger. it is not about whether a ship is toxic or romanticising abuse because it’s not about two individuals. the struggle is not one between two people, just like the love is not between two people. when the hero falls in love with the villain she is loving herself. when she loves herself she is stronger, better, able to transform darkness instead of running from it. at the moment of loving, a person changes. the loved changes. and the love of the villain changes the hero. it’s all about this, don’t you see?

THE GREAT — 3.01 "The Bullet or the Bear"

if you like Catherine x Peter in The Great you probably like Jane x Guildford in My Lady Jane and that's a scientific fact actually

if anything, they are both "wants to make the world better" woman x "ok if you say so" man

The Great is 100% an Haladriel AU. All of it. In the beginning they're married, but he's a jackass who murders people on a whim and she absolutely hates his guts. They have crazy chemistry, just like Galadriel and Sauron. They try to murder each other multiple times, finally fall in love but still try to kill each other because he always finds a way to screw up. And she's as pure as Galadriel is, if you see what I mean.

They make each other better but they totally make each other worse as well... I love this song.

For the record, one of the writers of The Great was hired to work on TROP season 3, as confirmed here... I haven't cheked what the other new writers worked on.

It is Constance Cheng, who worked on the season 3 of The Great. I'm not sure what it says about TROP season 3 Haladriel because I've just started watching The Great S3, but I like to think it's not a coincidence she was chosen :)

Excerpts from season 3...

fun fact the inspiration for haladriel was based on peter and catherine from the great the directors told me this themselves

furthermore haladriel spuffy and ghoulcy are all tethered in ways i cannot explain (the director also confirmed this)

when the sinned loves the sinner it is a transformative act. the love does not erase the sin but it cleanses the sinner of all that they have been. love is redemption and it can exist without logic or reason. whether or not the sinner deserves to be loved is no consequence. the love has fundamentally altered them, the fact that it is there. the sinned gains nothing from loving the sinner except for the peace of owning their destiny. for it is one’s destiny to strive to be complete. one cannot be complete when it only exists in a half. so the pieces must be collected and the sinned must love the sinner without the expectation that their love will change them, because it already has. when love exists without reason it is because the love is not a human love. it is now part of the creative and destructive forces of all that has lived, that has made life what it is. and at the moment of loving, the sinner is changed. the pieces are collected. both have returned home.

You're much stronger as a leader now. They fucking fear you. I don't want them to fear me.
