Fandom things I canât understand and some I actually despise:
People hating on Darrow, because he is not your Griffindor type hero, but a cunning, ruthless, determined, confident character with an evolving moral compass. Yeah, heâs believes in himself and his abilities enough to take insane risks and sometimes he fails. Sue him! If he was invincible the series would have gone nowhere. On the other hand he was this noble knight in shining armour he wouldnât have been an agent of change.
People saying Mustang is boring and the series would be just fine without her. Fuckboys, please, she is essential for Darrowâs growth because sheâs the one who explained to him that there is another way, not Societyâs way. That and she saved his arse a lot of times. Not to mention that she is vital to the success of the Rising. And dude, she is the daughter of a power hungry, tyrannical Pixie and twin sister to a psycho with daddy issues. And she is kind and sweet and badass and genius. She is stronger than them, because she remained kind despite everything.
People hating on Mustang because she didnât love Cassius. If Cassius chooses to get piss drunk when he hears about her wedding instead of letting her go, thatâs his buissness. She owes him nothing. Virginia cared for him and felt awful about using him. Yes, it was wrong, but there was no way their âloveâ would put an end to their families feud or something. She chose her family, just like Cassius chose his. They ended up on opposite sides of the war until Cassius finds out what really happened to his family. Thatâs it. It adds to the drama, but not that big of a deal. Itâs not a love triangle, itâs not a friendzone. Donât make it bigger than it actually is. Stop hating!
People hating Mustang because she hid Pax. Firstly, she hid Pax from her and Darrowâs enemies. Because if you think Adrius or Octavia would have had mercy on their baby, you need some common sense. Sencondly, she tried to make that Peace with the Sovereign to protect Pax. So he will have an as normal as possible life. And thirdly, she didnât know Darrowâs real reasons for rising or his intentions. Itâs pretty easy to presume he does it for his late wife and he wants to obliterate nost of the ruling class. But Darrow does it for his family. He is a family man. And once she was convinced he will love and accept Pax (because he is also half Gold) she tried to tell him aabout the baby. But it was Deanna who convinced her to not tell him. Read the epilogue of Morning Star. Stop hating!
People hating on Mustang in Morning Star for being after power (when she was not) and in Iron Gold for not having enough power. Pick a side and stick to it, Pixies! This is really pathetic I wonât add more to it.
People hating on Darrow for not being as he was in Morning Star. Itâs funny how people begged Pierce not to pull a Rick Riordan, meaning that they asked him to introduce Darrow as a pov character. And then they complain how fucked up Darrow has become and how heâll die alone (and they wonât be surprised, cause he deserves it). Dudes, every pov character needs a plotline. This is Darrowâs. The tired hero. The God fallen from grace. Deal with it. Itâs normal to question him, to doubt him, to be disappointed of him. JUST DONâT HATE.
People who believe what Roque did was totally valid, because Darrow was a bad friend to him and he didnât deserved him. If you can hold Thistle accountable for betraying her friends (not Darrow, but Sevro and the Howlers who were supposed to be at the Triumph), do not dare to defend the Poet. He sold his friends. Ok, he disagreed with Darrow and wanted him stopped. But Victra? Or Mustang? There is no excuse. Roque did it to protect his stupid ideals. You can like his character, Iâm not judging, but donât mollycoddle his arse.
People who harass Pierce Brown to the point he is too sick to open his inbox. I donât know what will happen when the tv series makes the fandom bigger, but I expect a shitstorm, given whatâs happening with Star Wars and other popular fandoms.
People who âforgetâ about Fitchner au Barca, the first Ares. The one who made the Sons of Ares, who lost his belived wife to a fucked up system, but managed to dream for more. The one Cassius decapitated and put the head in a box to âgiftâ to Darrow (that arrow in the neck woke the Pixie up, thank Mustang). The one who managed to go past proctor Jupiter and Tactusâ eldest brother (pls tell me itâs Tharsus) and won the post of Rage Knight. The baddest man in the Core.
People who agree with the ways of the Rim. And who try to reason it with the fact that the Society is genetically built that way and demokracy canât possibly work because of that. No, demokracy doesnât work because people are corrupt or militate for their extremist views and the people are indifferent to the well- being of their demokracy. No matter how noble and and entitled the Golds of the Rim seem, they still lie and enslave people. They still drug Violets and rape Pinks and send their own kids to kill each other at the Institute. Please go back and reconsider your opinions!
People blaming Darrow for the bad things happening in the other pov charactersâ lives. Yeah, he has an influenece in each of their life, but itâs not Darrowâs fault Lyria lived in a refugee camp - the Senate made the immigration laws, itâs not Darrowâs fault Trigg got killed by Aja - he was too weak and Trigg was the one who chose fo guard the back of everyone, it wasnât Darrowâs fault that Octavia was a power-hungry bitch who needed a decapitation - I get it that Lysander loved her, but she actually killed her own daughter and son-in-law to mantain power. Re-read Golden Son. She hints at it and Lorn is more explicit if I remember correctly. Plus, there was pressure on Darrow to kill Lysander, letting him go away with Cassius was the kindest option.
