A fact I think many highhorsers (which, love a high horse, love generalizations, love dramatic hyperbole, love a bit of godkilling ambition, do not let me stop you) have underrated is that the gods are not weighing Kill Their Siblings vs Kill Their Children. The “deaths” on menu are wildly different! One is an oblivion, a total absence of being, true death as promised even for a god. Meanwhile the other is fear, yes, and unspeakable pain, but then transmogrification. There’s an afterlife on tap for one group but not the other. If I had to choose between throwing my siblings into the black hole of nothingness that has terrorized us since we first learned what terror was…. or shifting a bunch of our beautiful creations messily from one state of existence to another—
I think I’d make the same choice. It’s not about who’s worth more, it’s that they’re two incomparable types of destruction.

So, yes, Charles is used to his name being a top tweet on Twitter. Except, now it’s almost two months after the start of the season and Pierre is blowing up his phone with texts because apparently he broke twitter after fans realized he was dating Lewis Hamilton in secret all along. The Lewis Hamilton. International rockstar, gay icon, activist (?), multiple times Grammy winner (?) and apparently, Charles’ secret boyfriend.
