Are we runnin’ out of time?
Are we hidin' from the light?
Are we just too scared to fight
For what we want tonight?
What if we just fall?

I know that after Downfall the perspective of 'the gods are a FAMILY' has permeated fandom on both sides of the kill-all-gods argument, but frankly that isn't all they are and acting as if it's suddenly their only motivation flattens both them as characters and the narrative they (and bells hells) are in.
The Wildmother and The Raven Queen didn't 'let' Lolth get away with nabbing Opal and killing Cyrus because she’s their sister. Come on man, we've already seen that the primes are plenty capable of opposing and fighting their siblings on the side of mortals (is the calamity a joke to you??). I'm not saying the primes aren’t capable of picking the lives of their betrayer siblings over mortals (downfall showed as much) but that's not what the situation with Opal and Lolth was about in the slightest.
They let Lolth 'get away with it' not because she’s family, but because this is the very rare instance of them not only having the same goal, but of them actively fighting for their lives. As far as we know that has only happened once before on Exandria, and that time they also entered a truce to defend themselves. The vast majority of the time, the primes picking their siblings over mortals won’t happen because mortals can’t actually threaten the gods (normally), making the 'they're family argument' a moot point. The primes won’t necessarily agree with Lolth's methods, but they won’t go throwing away both hers and their own champions in a meaningless struggle when they need all their strength to stop the fucking apocalypse.

Oh my god
Aaravos was trapped in the prison for hundreds of years right??
For hundreds of years, he couldn’t see the brightest star. He couldn’t see “Leola’s Last Wish”. He couldn’t see his daughter.
Instead he was at the bottom of the sea, as far as he could be from the night sky.

Listen, if I got a dollar every time I went completely feral over a sweet angel man called Pete falling for a pathetic bitch with a bunch of daddy issues, I would have two dollars, which isn't a lot but it's still weird it happened to me twice.

Eddie basically said I don't want or need you to solve this problem or fix anything. I need you to be Buck, just as you are. Just be Buck for us; for Chris 🥹
Because being Buck is to love and to care and to make things seem better just by existing. To be Buck is to never give up.
To be Buck is to "no one will ever fight for my son as hard as you".
