#legit it occurred to me half asleep that Bracken is not the oldest at all but he is the one with all the responsibility

Fun thing to note is that Bracken is the only son of the Fairy Queen and like her favorite kid.

He’s the one that she calls for all major stuff. He’s the one she has lead the forces in war. He’s the one she calls for help dealing with threats in her realm. He’s the one she risked her crown to save.

And like... I’m sorry but I’m 90% sure he’s not the oldest and has multiple older sisters and... this reeks of “the treasured son who we had at last”. The fairies should literally be matriarchal because they don’t have guys but it’s the boy that’s treasured to that extent.

The sisters aren’t even mentioned even though they should be older and more experienced and able to help and that just reminds me so much of how the brothers are always the favorite in misogynistic households.

It’s such a common thing irl that I shouldn’t be surprised that Brandon made it in his story but you’d think he’d do it with literally anything except a Fairy based ruler because fairies don’t even have guys.
