#quoting Aegon II so they'll see im serious about rooting for villains

[tackletofset]

People acting like Will isn’t Sarcean and is simply corrupted by his spirit clearly don’t understand these books 🤣 the moral is about how mistreatment of someone can turn them into a monster, and how historical revisionism can morph the perception of someone who may be otherwise innocent. All of Will’s goodness comes from Sarcean and I think people are missing that in their “Sarcean is the devil” idea of the story. Will being good and Sarcean being bad are two concepts that cannot coexist.

Perfectly worded, thank you!!!!

People who view Sarcean as "the devil" corrupting the innocent Will always emphasize Sarcean's "crimes," which have yet to be proven, while whitewashing Will's clearly self-serving agenda that we see on screen, claiming it's all "for the sake of good." But how can they be so sure that Sarcean's actions were never, in any way, "for the sake of good," especially when the narrative has always been shaped by the propaganda of his enemies?

Then, they twist our words into "making Sarcean a morally good hero," because they can't fathom that anyone would root for a villain.

Which is why I really don't need Sarcean's motivations to be altruistic. A self-indulgent revenge is good enough for me. 🤣 Pacat did say it's empowering for queer people to embrace the monster role assigned to us by society, and I'm all for it.

However, if there indeed was a devil, it should be the Lady. The name Lucifer means "lightbringer." 🤣
