But heβs not the antichrist. Heβs a warm little baby, with tiny hands and tiny feet, who only want to be loved by his mother. Heβs completely defenceless and dependent on her love and heβs being treated as a joke. She hasnβt even dignified him with a real name.
@selilyph@mishrillette yeah no i think he would've mentioned that, especially since he seems to place emphasis on surtalogi lost limbs over his "rebellious" nature (i feel like it implied he on the other hand did not)
it's so frustrating that Surtalogi is viewed as this Aggressive Alpha Male Guy when he's literally depicting the Most Abused Underclass in Khaenri'ah which goes hand in hand with his complete detachment from his body, emotions, being, and heritage
38-year-old Palestinian journalist Mohammed Al-Najjar has been killed by an Israeli strike.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) reports that, as of September 24, 2026, Israel is responsible for the deaths of 241 journalists and media workers since October 7, 2023.
The lack of parents mentions and the heavily implied fact that Vedrfolnir raised Dainsleif himself really does make the betrayal so much worse on a personal level
@Saffr0ni exactly!!! not to mention it's clear dainsleif isn't hostile to *all* gods - he literally told to traveler not to be hostile towards them. he was doing mutual therapy with columbina in nod krai π he is Evolving and that is Okay.
i understand this argument, but we don't even know what feelings dainsleif has for ved yet, tbf; he already hesitated to send rerir away, who knows what he feels for his brother who betrayed their nation but also simultaneously is the reason his body is still whole.
ok this isn't meant to be condescending but the ppl talking ab dain respecting anastasya making sense because she's "the mother of khaenri'ah" don't really seem to understand dain π when has "blood" ever mattered to him. he literally wants to take revenge on his own brother
the 3rd descender's relationship and how it lead to the rise of khaenri'ahns either. idk idk!!! i personally don't find it out of character, i feel like as the story progresses it will make more and more sense
like yeah he swore revenge on every sinner in bedtime story, but then in nod krai we saw how he hesitated. i really saw the mother of khaenri'ah line as more of a patriotic stance from dainsleif, since he's khaenri'ah's number 1 glazer. we don't know much about the tsaritsa and
