[taylors-fourth-cat-meow]

I don't really understand tam's personality anymore lol.. could u like lists one of his personality that was not retconned?

Hi anon!!

one thing thats consistent about tamlin's character i'd say is that hes kind and compassionate. Though stans, lacking critical thinking, will not accept it.

He gives feyre's family enough wealth and resources to last a lifetime. That wasn't necessary how much the narrative argues or tries to ignore it. that wasnt the "bare minimum" the bare minimum wud have been having someone supply some bread, water, meat and 10 coins every 3days or something. Considering feyre's family was starving even when she was hunting, and they wud be if she wasn't taken...what he did was very generous.

He opened his court and lands to various refugees from different courts... Welcomed them into his home...(Alice and her nephews) even before Amarantha he fought for Lucien and took him in when he had no one. Deff helped Lucien overcome his grief at the loss of Jessminda. (Yea ik it's not canon but umm..you just require common sense to interpret that)

Hes disturbed and upset after killing the bogge that shows he doesn't like to kill innocent creatures even if they are predators.

He tries to heal the summer court fearie..(which ripping the wings? Sound familiar? Hmm..I wonder who wud do that to send s message to Tamlin ) and then buries the fearies body himself. He doesn't need to do that. Hes a hl but he feels responsible for it as he was unable to save the innocent faerie.

in acomaf he offers to bring feyre's family to prythian for the wedding but its she who refuses.

in acowar, he brings back rhysie. the same person who slaughtered his family for feyre. He doesn't need to do that. rhysie made a choice when he sacrificed himself. its wasn't tamlin's responsibility to bring him back and he was under no obligation to do so but he still did.

Tamlin is also very... i'd say conscientious. He doesn't want to bring feyre, an innocent human into prythian for his gain because he thinks its another form of slavery. he mentions it multiple times throughout Acotar that he shouldn't have brought her to prythian and he constantly feels guilty over it.

That all vanishes in acomaf but then again resurfaces in acofas where hes all guilt ridden and half dead because of everything thats happened.

I think his kindness and compassion are the only personality traits that have been...close to constant..it does vanish during the tithe and then killing the snetries part but thats only added as an after thought to make tamlin EVIL.
