It’s wild just how much shit was happening with the Palm Springs gang during the Bloodlines series. I mean:

- Jill’s sort-of boyfriend Lee turned out to be a serial killer who wanted to become Strigoi again and he got himself killed and almost got Sydney and Adrian killed by Strigoi as well.

- All of Angeline’s antics — punching the guy during the assembly, sneaking into the Halloween Dance, and just about everything else she does.

- Sonya being abducted by the Warriors of Light and almost decapitated by one of their champions. (Seriously, it’s a wonder she’s as calm as she is at the end of The Golden Lily and in The Indigo Spell!)

- The whole love mess between Jill, Eddie, Angeline, Trey and later Neil.

- Sydney tracking down Marcus Finch and becoming a rebel Alchemist and doing rebel Alchemist things (which pretty much everyone in her Palm Springs family is aware of) while pretending to her superiors that she is still an obedient loyal Alchemist.

One has to wonder what Dimitri (and Sonya) thought when they arrived in Palm Springs and saw how chaotic the gang is.

#I feel like dimitri and Sonya are always mildly amused about everyone’s antics #Sonya especially with Adrian and Sydney’s totally not budding romance #but both of them with their dynamics. eddie’s stoicism. Adrian’s dramatics. Sydney’s fake calm.#mildly amused and more than a bit worried tbh #bloodlines

You know what irritates me? The fact that when Sonya Karp found out that Lissa was a spirit user and Rose was shadow-kissed, she dumped a huge responsibility on Rose, used compulsion on her, and told her to take Lissa away.

Yes, I understand that at that moment she had lost her mind and wanted to protect Lissa from the same fate — but it makes me angry that Sonya didn’t think about Rose at all! The girl is 16 years old. She had just survived an accident in which people she knew died, and by taking Lissa away, she was putting her own future at risk. If Dimitri hadn’t stood up for her, Rose would have been expelled! She didn’t have a real alternative except becoming a guardian — she had no family, no home. Not only did Sonya endanger her future, she also forced a 16-year-old teenager to take on the responsibility and care of another teenager.

Even during their next meeting in Last Sacrifice, the first thing Sonya asks about is Lissa — whether Rose is helping her, whether she’s taking away the darkness — and only later, after some time, does she remember Rose herself.

Let me repeat: I understand Ms Karp’s circumstances, but again, no one thought about Rose or took care of her! As always, the responsibility for herself and for others fell on HER. Because she’s “just” a dhampir — replaceable, born to serve the moroi. And for most of the series, that’s exactly how she’s treated.

#I think there’s two reasons for this: Sonya’s mental health which did not allow for prudent decision making #and the ‘they come first’ mentality #still #if ms mead slayed we’d get the hexalogy sequel with the dhampir rebellion #txt #rose Hathaway #Sonya karp #vampire academy
