yalls tags on the caleb astrid post are all SO spot on thank you for understanding the uh. canon that was given to us. not saying that anyone doesnt. but i am.

#the Poast is about. bren vs caleb and Exactly what i think all that was about between essek and astrid #the essek-astrid relation is not remotely like caleb-astrid and certainly not essek-caleb #essek knows caleb loves her. like. probably still a little romantically past the INTENSE worry that caleb probably constantly has for her #(in several different ways. he isn't afraid of her. he doesn't worry about her harming him or his but he also knows exactly what she is #capable of and he is a realist first and foremost). caleb's love for her doesn't bother essek at all. also doesn't mean he can't be a #bitch to her anyways for several other reasons such as. he doesn't care about her like caleb does he was essentially sent on a welfare #check that included both making sure astrid is okay AND making sure she isn't in on da'leth's plan. it can be both. bren sends his #regards: caleb sent me (you are not in danger) he is worried (about you and what you are capable of) and then the Poast is that +#significance of bren getting dropped. because i disagree. with some things that people are saying about it. there's a lot going on there #essek knows exactly what astrid is same as caleb but they're fundamentally handling it from different perspectives and #not only is that. like. fine and normal and reasonable but also #you CANT expect astrid to react to essek showing up like she would have if caleb had shown up instead #like. thee situation HAS to be handled differently and astrid is more fluent in threats and insinuation than she is in honesty. by far.#also essek just doesn't need to be kind or nonthreatening to her cause. he's not caleb. he doesn't have that rapport with her and also #He's Not Caleb. hate to be like. he is not as good or forgiving or graceful (not the physical sense the. interactional. you get me #but he isn't. he's not. he's not built for that and he doesn't need to be to be in character or to handle it the way he did like.#he did all that for a reason he wasn't rude for no reason. is the thing. he had reason.
