#even if the ahamkara cannot love like us or we are their prey- that does not make them evil and it does not revoke their right to exist

[ahamkara-apologist]

Gonna be insufferable from now on in using Taranis as an example of why the ahamkara deserve a second chance and why they aren't all inherently evil or dangerous entities but are instead just as nuanced and morally neutral as any other predatory species btw. Because if there was anything that Starcrossed showed us its that we've been learning about the lives and nature of ahamkara from the very biased perspective of one individual (Riven, who is proud and hungry and cunning and rejoices in it, as well as has a very good reason to hold a substantial grudge aginst humankind) and from the outsider fear-knowledge of their prey and that is not by any means a good way of measuring the worth of a species or casting judgement on their fate. They would deserve the right to live even if Taranis was not kind or had not given his life to save his eggs, because being capable of love is not a determinant of worth either, but it DOES prove that they are not inherently evil and that living in a universe with them is not an impossible nor unnecessarily dangerous endeavor
