Can I just say... and I know that this is a complaint that others have, but I'm BEGGING for a story where we're not starting from the bottom or getting up after a fall or proving ourselves or learning how to handle new powers or stuff like that. I want to feel POWERFUL! I want Tiss who was sent to Ro'od because she's an exceptional mage and was supposed to protect the princess. I want Nova that has so much power that she's doing things with time that have never been thought possible and the whole magisterium is running around trying in vain to stop her. I want Ji-yoon who is so massively popular that her being gone for 6 months stops the whole kpop industry and her return is seen as a threat to other artists and she's seen as an actual threat to the people who hurt her sister.

There's still sooo much to be done when you're on top and powerful. There are stories to be told and obstacles to overcome!

I don't want to be a pushover and a novice anymore! I want POWER!!!!!!!

While I understand it to some extent, I don't appreciate how little recognition Tiss gets from the others for being a beginner making expert moves in a very hard game.

Her Esshai companions make it known that she's just a pawn for the King's interests in a bigger scheme since she isn't officially protected, but she's proven herself repeatedly and triumphed, benefiting from and using both skill and luck.

She killed a seasoned lord rider in self-defence, survived in the wild until rescue, survived a stay in the dungeon (which included another attack), narrowly escaped execution, made a deal with the prince and became a dragon rider (something that has never been achieved by any other Esshai before), successfully delivered two secret messages to a spy outside the palace while being guarded, cleverly resolved the problem when appointed diplomatic duties and likely saved the Esshai aristocrat's life, won a duel against a Ro'od warrior who insulted her- a very risky affair which paid off, befriended the princess (who may be the Emperor's favourite child); all of this while understanding and picking up on the nuances and subtleties of every conversation and reaction of those around her, basically being hyper aware at all times in a new and hostile environment.

Did I forget to mention that she's significantly younger than... almost everyone? She wasn't studying to play political games, she was preparing to fight on the battlefield. Her (short!!!) life was spent away from power struggles, she didn't grow up looking over her shoulder or worrying about poison in her breakfast. Obviously her noble upbringing and education shaped her, but she was never expecting to be thrown in her current position. They tell her she's not that important when it comes to the Kingdom, she's a nobody (in theory), and she agrees with this too because she's fiercely loyal, but thinking that anyone else could've done what she's managed in such a short time and with that lack of experience is mindless. Tiss got dropped into a pool of sharks when she could only doggy-paddle but somehow started breaking records and she's still disregarded.

I just need her to get some status so the others stop throwing their titles in her face when she's doing the jobs of like 7 people with at least 90 years of experience behind them.

🌹 IN DEFENSE OF TAI: A NOVEL🍷

So listen I get it, there’s the writing style to consider and the repetition of the detached, seemingly lifeless man in power being recycled that isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I fully understand the people saying they want more passion from him, and I hope to see it fully awakened as we go further along. He’s seemingly got the same stoic facecard no matter what context, which can get frustrating because we want a certain degree of vulnerability from our LIs.

But to play devil’s advocate on the subject that is Tai, let me paint this portrait of how I hope to see his character being developed. Because I can’t help but think about the glimpse into that psychotic family we’ve been given in Episode 9 & feel that up to this point, Tai’s mannerisms and general demeanor actually make so much fucking sense.

Like Tiss, he’s essentially been primed for war from an early age. He was primed to rule, to make difficult decisions, to represent his house with pride, and to never show weakness. And yes, he’s undoubtedly enjoyed a certain degree of privilege due to his status. But while his sisters get to explore their interests and amuse themselves in court playing with people like their puppets, he’s tasked with the ultimate responsibility of a society’s future as the family heir. A task I don’t think he takes lightly, given how well read he is and how involved he is in political affairs. And unless there’s some mentor we haven’t learned about yet, Foelh seems to have been his only role model to imitate when it comes to being a man and being a leader. Imagine having that dude as a father figure. Whatever we’ve seen of Foelh so far, I assure you he’s a thousandfold worse. It sort of reminds me of learning about Lucifer’s background & how Satan raised him. There are more parallels to him and Satan than you’d originally think. Both are self-serving, sadistic narcissists with little empathy for others’ suffering. They make decisions not based on what’s best for the people or what is just, but based on what strengthens their authority or feeds their ego. Not to mention both would be willing give up their only son to a win a political chess match if it came down to it. When Tai was briefing him on the murder of the princess and told him he was prioritizing minimizing bloodshed over interrogating everyone, Foelh literally said that he would have executed him were it not for the fact that he was his only son. With a parental figure like that, it often feels like you’re walking on eggshells & consistently made to feel like you’re never good enough. It doesn’t necessarily justify the problematic aspects of their personality down the line, but it humanizes them and puts a lot of their actions in context. It’s also fertile ground for solid character development. Because imagine the sort of coping mechanisms you’d have to adapt to be molded by a sadist while enduring life-lasting fractures to your body and/or soul. Repression would be chief among them. And then imagine meeting someone who challenges everything you’ve ever known and done, who forces you to start feeling again.

It’s honestly nothing short of a miracle that compared to Foelh, Tai has been nothing but respectful towards Tiss up to this point. He doesn’t have an interest in blind subservience or abusing his power for an ego trip like his father does. His calm and reserved nature makes him a lot more open minded & reasonable. On the Falcon path, he likes her challenging him on matters others wouldn’t speak up about & even respects her more for it. These are all qualities that will help him create impactful change when the time comes for him to reign. It feels like she’s awakening sides to him that have long remained dormant, like she’s a literal breath of fresh air after he’s gotten so used to holding his breath entirely. At the same time, however, he knows how dangerous a personality like that is and worries for her. She was always under threat of death but I think he feels guilt and anger at himself that he’s put her in actual tangible danger, like he slipped up somewhere leading to Foelh using her as a manipulation tactic. Maybe he is remaining reserved because that is the best way to keep her safe, because showing passion will only prove that she is a point of vulnerability for Tai. And the more their feelings grow, the truer that becomes. And that will certainly lead to her death, unless Foelh is killed first. Tiss is feeling like a pawn right now, but I’m telling ya’ll she’s gonna checkmate the King.

this is my new favorite scene

no one can convince me she's not a little bit disappointed (i would be)

[productive1potato]

I found it so funny how tai was like "I don't want to let you go at all" and the whole time his expression was like "⚫👄⚫". Where's the WANT, where's the NEED, the kiss scene felt a little rushed and the passion was just not there, Kazu and ivo were similar but you could still FEEL things, yk? And that's exactly why I prefer sha'arnez, he's just....better.

I honestly feel like Jester has never been good at writing first kisses; even kazu's felt rushed, ivo's, takao's, masamune's, Kay's, all their first kisses felt rushed. But the romantic scenes in later seasons were so much better and emotional also more sensual. So I'll let him cook. He's one of my favourite author and I know his writing style so I know he'll cook. I was just reading lotw side by side so reading that scene just after kazu's sex scene felt underwhelming.
