here’s a dark basta headcanon. there are lots of myths and legends about the white women in various cultures but a common thread is generally that the woman died a tragic death. something interesting from wikipedia: “Common to many of these legends is…the theme of loss, betrayal by a husband or fiancée, and unrequited love.” basta’s scared to death of the white women. what if….now hear me out….what if it’s because he’s responsible for the death of one?
