All I want for Christmas is for Jaxom and F’lessan to be more distinct foils of each other
#there’s so much POTENTIAL#both raised with the weight of expectations by someone other than their parents#lessa gave up everything for jaxom and nothing for f’lessan#jaxom inherits both gemma and lessa’s inheritance but f’lessan would never inherit benden#lessa being unable to look at jaxom because he reminds her of fax and her dead family#and lessa being unable to look at f’lessan because he reminds her of the children she can’t have#fax killing f’lon and f’lar killing fax and lessa debatedly almost killing gemma#the fact that in another life they could have been friends or rivals in the holds#all culminating in:#jaxom the son of a villain set up to repeatedly save the world and f’lessan the son of heroes set up to do not much at all#jaxom getting protagonist specialness with his special dragon#and f’lessan honestly being more of an ordinary dragonrider than most of the major characters#the beginning of dragonflight drawing this extremely clear line of right v wrong good v evil#and then that getting blurred as the story goes on#pern#dragonriders of pern#dragonflight#dragonquest#dragonquest reread#character analysis#jaxom#f’lessan#lessa#fax#stubbornly tagging pern characters names#also what’s up with f’lessan’s name#why could he not drop the last syllable like everyone else in his family
