okay, i need to spit this out to someone
and i refuse to make a youtube video for it so im just gonna write a whole essay to my small amount of tumblr followers on prince arctic and also im waiting for my friend to wake up so i need to do something RIGHT NOW so uh
lets start with the reasons that could've played a part in how he acted
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀
so, arctic's family wasnt that great, we've all gathered that. his mother was just horrid honestly, and we have no idea how his father was (or if he even had one). diamond could've been better, and im sure the way she treated him and the things she expected of him were a definite cause, albeit not a full one. another cause was definitely his animus magic, but also cant really be the main cause, even though it was probably a major one. (heres a brief note on animus magic, atleast, my theory on it that is- animus magic isnt the full cause of dragons going insane, its how they view it, use it,how often they use it, and other things going on in their life. lets say we have an animus dragon, a funky little sandwing that for the purposes of this sidenote, will be called funkmaster. funkmaster isnt too concerned about their soul, has been through alot, and uses his magic to cause suffering to small animals quite frequently. funkmaster has gone insane because he uses his magic poorly, isnt concerned about his soul, and uses his magic to be a bastard. funkmaster is the negative result of animus magic. whereas, lets say we have a cute little adorable seawing named tappytoes. tappytoes cares about his soul, has still been through some stuff, but has a positive outlook still, and uses his magic only when he needs to, and only for good things. tappytoes is not a maniac. sidenote over) i do genuinely believe that yes, he did at one point love his family (even darkstalker, albeit not as long as the others), and he did genuinely wish he was a better father, but he had been too far gone for that to have lasted long.
𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩
now, while it is sort of difficult to figure out where everything started to go down hill, i do believe it was shortly after darkstalker and whiteout were hatched. he knew darkstalker had inheritted his animus magic, and assuming he knew that nightwings have powers from being born under the full moons, he also knew of the power he possessed. now, this wasnt the breaking point entirely. arctic now had the pressure of being a father, (which, yk, who knows if he even got to know his) and had probably used his animus magic a few times after foeslayer got him out of the ice kingdom. i have no concrete idea on what these times could've been, but possibly some things for foeslayer. even if they werent horrid things, and he cared about his soul, other factors also played into the animus causes of the insanity. by this time it was already too late, and he just snapped. he fully had lost himself from that point forward, and there was no going back anymore. the only point where i really think there was maybe a chance he hadnt completely gone over the fence was when he was bringing whiteout to the ice kingdom to get accepted back into their society and to get foeslayer back (i think?? its been a while since my last reread, i had to stop myself from rereading it because it just made me sad), which mayyy have been him just wanting to go back to how everything was before he had a family but could have also just been him wanting foeslayer back because he did actually still love her. anywho these are just my thoughts, there are probably a bunch of inaccuracies, im tired, and i dont feel like rereading the entire book just to make a tumblr post, have fun and dont die

So... do you remember this woman?
Well, she's Bonnie's mom, and I was hc for quite a long time how her face would look like, and after literal years of not drawing anything and painting it, the muse of art gave me energy to do THIS 👇🏼
Isn't she GORGEOUS?
I really hope so, if not I'm gonna cry 🥺
Aaaaaanyway..., this was made in [Saturday, 18 of May, 2024], the same day I'm posting it <3
Ñeh... I'm gonna post the dates of any art I publish in this website, just to have a sense of order in this HELLISH MESSY place that is Tumblr
Aside from that, here is the undeniable proof that I've done this fanart myself, look how cute she looks without her hair, cranium &... brain °-°
Hopefully I'll post more fanarts of whatever BRAINROT I'm currently on ♥️

I think it's telling that the stepmother is cruel of her own volition. It's interesting to me that Brennan introduced the slightest bit of sympathy and the immediate reaction for some people is god forbid women do anything, but she didn't really change. This is the only character outside of the Authors that has any, what could be argued, true agency since she's outside a story. She's been pulled beyond the narrative and is able to not just move within the story or between the stories, but change them outside of it. And her first independent choice was to do exactly the same kind of thing she always had. One can argue here that she's been conditioned into it and to an extent that's fair, but she's also a grown woman who had the option to improve the story and is responsible for her choices. She could have chosen kindness. She was literally told, "The more cruel you were to her, the more we liked her." Option there is easy. No one likes Cinderella if she's just the least favored, but still well-treated daughter of a widower. But no. Instead, she abandons the only true form of love she had for her daughters and potentially her husband(s) and eats them for power. And the reason there is probably something like, "They're not real people, but I can make them real." Or "This is for their own good, because I can make a better story for my daughters," but as we've learned from the players already, no two stories are the same. The people are different, no matter what the Authors intended. So she will never have her daughters again and that's on her. She's cruel and manipulative and altogether nasty in an interesting but not fun way and those are her choices alone.
