#regent reciprocally being HER rock

[frogs-in3-hills]

i think this is a really interesting comment for taylor to make considering she never actually had any personal experience with alec’s desire for revenge. iirc she was actually a little taken aback by the idea when aisha brought it up after he died, probably because she never fully understood his disaffectedness for what it was (an extreme trauma response). but over a year later this makes me feel like taylor sees aisha’s revenge against heartbreaker as solely alec’s, as opposed to something they were both invested in but that aisha had to take the burden of. the idea that aisha is “acting like regent” when she talks about revenge and not acting like herself i think is inaccurate, it’s just not a stance i would have expected from taylor necessarily. ig she really internalized aisha saying that he did want revenge, even though aisha is the one who did the revenging? did alec ever express that desire in front of taylor? if he did, i forgor ^_^;
