Would everyone on this website collectively show up at my home, kick the shit out of me, and verbally berate me for daring to be perceived if I posted a huge sketchbook dump? Asking for a friend.

ok so here. here's the thing about giving silurian magic in the webtoon,, i think it actually diminishes her character a little bit?
because listen listen the thing about silurian is that she's,, just a girl. she's just a girl. that's how her father sees her, that's how everyone around her treats her and that's all she has known her entire life. she's just a girl, she can't even inherit her father's title nor be his heir because to him she's just his daughter who he loves very much but who one day he'll marry off to a hopefully good man to get an heir who'll take care of his city. and she knows this. she's not,, happy about it but she's aware of it. and then one day, this horrible thing happens in her city, this terrible very not good thing happens and there's a lot of people, her people, in danger and the one behind this is a man who everyone trusted and believed in and it turns out he's been killing innocents this whole time and is planning to kill thousands more. and silurian is just a girl right? she's just a girl, nothing very much special about her. but this is her city and this is her people and she can't just sit around and wait for everyone to die.
so she stands up and does something about it.
and she's just a girl so it may end up with her death. that's a very real possibility. but this is her responsibility and she won't stay down when the people around her need help.
and there's just something very poignant to me about a character that doesn't have much power nor is expected to accomplish a great amount of things to look around them and decide they still want to help. that even when surrounded by amazing people and terrible odds, they in their normalcy still can and must help in whatever way they can. especially when the narrative acknowledges this and shows that their efforts were not in vain and they deserve the same recognition as more powerful characters.
that's kind of the point of silurian's character. she was brave and she was kind and her death was a tragedy not because she was in a relationship with one of the male characters but because she was a good person who wanted to protect others with what little power she had and she didn't deserve to die.
so to give her powerful magic that allows her to easily defeat what was supposed to be a major villain in the original novel in which she died,,, kinda misses the point a little?? imo??
so,,, that's the thing. about giving silurian magic
