"the ivashkovs were a royal family, one of the wealthiest and most powerful. they were the kind of people who thought they could get anything they wanted and walked over those in their way."

#the ivashkovs
#the ivashkovs are prob the best example in va of the way royal moroi exploit dhampirs and reinforce cisheteropatriarchal moroi supremacy
#the unjust and oppressive standards of their society are believed and reinforced by all characters to different levels
#but it really hits its peak with the ivashkovs
#as the family with the most power in the series they're symbols of the inherent injustice and corruption of that power
#(anyone and everyone below them including other royals like tasha aren't immune)
#tatiana daniella and adrian are sexually interested in dhampirs (ambrose and rose) but that doesn't make them any less moroi supremacist
#in fact the way ambrose and esp rose are objectified is one of the biggest way moroi supremacy and misogyny is reinforced
#daniella wants dhampir women enslaved with compulsion
#tatiana's idea of a compromise is putting 16 yo dhampirs on the front lines
#she slutshames and threatens rose's career for having the gall to be *checks notes* sexually harassed by tatiana's royal nephew
#nathan's casual constant supremacy and support for oppressive policies speaks for itself
#and adrian direspects violates and gaslights rose while telling himself he respects women's consent and did it all for love
#one of the most fascinating levels of adrian's character is the way he mirrors the rest of his family tbh
#and i feel like it gets disregarded bc it doesn't make him sympathetic even tho it makes him more interesting
#(from a watsonian analysis pov)
#his contempt/resentment for dimitri a working class dhampir man long predates last sacrifice
#he always disregards rose's will and happiness if it conflicts with his own
#and he has double standards for dhampirs even if he has no moral ground to stand on
#(it's ok if adrian tries to seduce rose while she's dating mason but it's an outrage when rose cheats on adrian etc)
#i should prob tag this
#anti adrian ivashkov
#even tho it isn't really an anti take but ik his stans prob won't want to see it
