i hate the “Garroth was the biological father of Levin” aus. absolutely no shame if you like it or find it fun!! I’m not knocking you guys at all, feel free to have fun and I’m not gonna judge you for that, but like- in terms of my own personal comfort and boundaries, for some reason I’ve always been super uncomfortable with the idea as a whole, in every flavor it manifests in. i’ve seen ideas that were like more on the healthy, happy consensual side that still irk me, and I’ve seen ideas on the horrifically violent noncon side for how Garroth ended up the maternal/paternal biological parent of Levin that absolutely scare the shit out of me and deeply unnerve me. that shit haunts me, man. and it’s not even an opposition to violent or scary or more “unconventional means of parenthood” type of stories that bother me, because I love to read and consume and write horror media and unconventional parenthood fics all the time, if it were any other character from another piece of media I would probably be fine with it!!! but it’s specifically Garroth ending up in some sort of sexual or more than platonic relationship with either Matilda or Malik that sits with me like a fucking spider in my face. whether it’s the uncharacteristic “he would not fucking say that” aspect of Garroth being a homewrecker that has an affair with another man’s wife, or the fact that it’s so far from what actually happened in canon that it feels like a gross mischaracterization of everyone involved, or it’s the horrifically disturbing aspect of “Malik was a horrible person that treated him horribly” or even just the uncanniness of Malik and Matilda chilling in a bed with Garroth between the two of them, I. Cannot. I can’t. I can’t do it. and that’s entirely just a me thing. i think maybe it’s because of my own fanon headcanons that are obviously very different from other peoples, which is a ridiculous standard for me to hold other people to so I won’t ! but oh my god it irks me so fucking bad and it drives me up the wall
