Hello again!👋 For the Thoughts, Learning and Intellect Headcanon Ask for Muses could you please answer the Jump the Gun one? Thank you!💞💞💞💞
[JUMP THE GUN] What biases does your muse hold that impact how they perceive the world or choose to take in new information? Do their personal blindspots and preconceptions lead them to errors in judgement? ( still accepting )
Snow White gravitates towards first helping those that are the smallest of the crowd, typically either the youngest or the oldest. Her heart goes out for them most particularly if they're alone. Anyone, really, who appears a solitary figure will be on the receiving end of all of her support and love. She wants to help them in any way she can, and reads vulnerability into them, a need for community, and an inability to survive if those two things aren't afforded to them. This leads to so many blindspots, and preconceptions.
First and foremost, though Snow White is coming from a good place, not everyone who's alone or appears to be weak is in need of help. Her compassion eclipses her reason in those moments though, or what the individual needs of those people would be. This is something Grimhilde actively exploits. It isn't hard to see that it comes from Snow White's lived experience; yes, she's of a compassionate nature, but the most traumatizing things befall her childhood, when she was left without either of her parents. She represses a lot of her emotions, when she can help it- mostly sadness- and it comes out in spurts with these people that rouse her sympathy. Lost animals, orphans, and widows are her biggest triggers when it comes to this. This empathy leads to errors in judgement, because she has an incredible mastery over her logic and can typically see the motivations of others a mile away (and knows how to sway them accordingly). However, if someone appeals to her heart, all of that goes out of the window. And, depending on the case, she might be somewhat aware but I think it ultimately goes back to that "I don't want to risk this person losing their life or being in a dark place if I can help it, even if it doesn't appear the most sensible thing for me to do."
