Not to mention — Kettle is a fantastic character who does love his daughter, but there's this undercurrent of disrespect toward her as well. He loves his daughter, but does he respect that she is her own person outside of that role? He places the entrance to the Gauntlet in her very burial chamber. He uses a mural depicting her entombment as part of the key. He bought Marcus' allegiance with wings hacked off her beloved, and he sent him to kidnap her using those wings. He infects her with the tadpole and robs her of free will so she will betray her beliefs (she, who is a cleric) and stay at his side. He also frames her love of Aylin as Aylin stealing her from him.

i have the plague and thus must heal my bones by doodling my original Big Bad Guy as a sweet little baby boy through the eyes of the man he loves.
Caledon, you suck. And I love you.

Today, I walked through the ruins of what was once a vibrant school. The classroom where I taught, once filled with the laughter and dreams of my students, is now nothing but rubble. The walls that held their drawings and the desks where they worked hard on their assignments are gone.
Most of my students, those bright and hopeful children, have become martyrs. Their innocent lives were taken by the merciless violence that continues to ravage our land. As I stood there, the memories of their smiling faces and eager questions haunted me. Each desk I looked at reminded me of a young soul with dreams of a better future, now lost to us forever.
Amidst this unimaginable loss, my heart is gripped with fear for my own children. Every day, I worry about their safety, wondering if they too will be taken from me by this senseless conflict. The thought of losing them is unbearable, and the anxiety is constant.
We are living in a nightmare where no parent should have to fear for their child's life simply because they want to learn and grow. This destruction must end. Our children deserve to live in a world where their dreams can flourish, not one where they are cut down before they have a chance to bloom.❤️🙏
