Theresa was said to be so beloved to the Sarkaz that her showing up during battle was oftentimes enough to make the opposition to straight up drop their weapons and stop fighting, not out of fear, but out of sheer adoration for her.
What I believe that looked like was that Theresa would show up and do this:
Tumblr media
and all of the other Sarkaz would tear up, drop their weapons, and murmur "Respect Theresa fun pics..." while clapping and embracing each other. Amiya has yet to master the Peace Maneuver, and it'll be her final challenge before she can truly become the Lord of Fiends.

There's an incredibly fucking interesting contrast between how kind and benevolent Theresa is and how fucked up what she did to Amiya (in choosing to pass the Civilight Eterna onto Amiya).
Almost everyone who is In The Know thinks that Theresa is so fucked up for doing this, for being the reason why Amiya is forced to shoulder the entire weight of Sarkaz history and to be uncontrollably overwhelmed by other people's emotions and feel them as they die:
Shining sees Amiya and feels a pang of compassion:
Tumblr media
Warfarin thinks it's better to just let Amiya die in her sleep and thinks that, in a moment of desperate, misguided hope, Theresa condemned a little girl to a horrible fate:
Tumblr media
Kal'tsit really doesn't want Amiya to fight or lead the Chernobog operation because fears that she will suffer the same fate Theresa did, smothered out by the cruelty of an uncaring world (but at the same time, she also believes she has the right to choose for herself):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even Amiya's potential token is (what seems to be, to me) a plea for forgiveness from Theresa:
Tumblr media
But the thing is, Amiya doesn't think this. She has absolutely every reason to hate Theresa, to despise her for showing her love but taking her life into her hands and saying "my path is now yours," but she doesn't. In fact, Amiya is more grateful than anything else that Theresa has given her the Crown, and with it, the power to change things (but at the same time, even that is called into question. Remember that one conversation between Amiya and the Damazati Cluster as Bill in Episode 10?:)
Tumblr media
There's this one scene in Episode 8 in particular that really gets me, where Rosmontis asks Amiya that shouldn't they hate the people that turned them into the monsters they are, but Amiya can't agree:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even if Theresa was the monster who made sure she could never live a normal life and the reason for the suffering she's experienced, she was her mother, how could she agree? She was her mother, she loved her and Amiya could never bring herself to hate her.

so for the past 4 months i've been brainrotting about theresis on twitter priv because nobody fucking gets him as a character actually.
anyone who says that he isn't very interesting is WRONG. he's actually very fascinating but in a way that's low key and easy to write off
to start off, something that's very important to theresis's characterisation is the fact that he's implied to be apparently very adherent to sarkaz tradition. to 'not fuck around with the dead'- this can be seen in manfred's conversation with the cluster.
Tumblr media
it's explicitly expressed here:
Tumblr media
except from Ch 11:
"Just one Sarkaz, no army, no servants. He rose from his throne, laid down the authority that he had never truly cared for, and walked here."
Tumblr media
i LOVE the description of him here- when he appears in the story for the first time, NOBODY realises until it's too late.
His ONE goal was to PERSONALLY kill amiya and just eliminate the threat- no fanfare, no monologung, straight down to business.
He's not even particularly sneaky it's just that he's just such a regular ass dude that people just don't realise he's there
"laid down the authority he never truly cared for."
In the lore book, it's actually stated that theresis never bothered to declare himself king after the death of theresa, and made no effort in searching for the new sarkaz king.
for power isn't what he was after. his goal wasn't to be king, it was for a way to execute his plans, because the one thing he ACTUALLY cares about is the future of the sarkaz.
also:
Tumblr media
i love how the text explicitly says that even his sword is rather unremarkable. he got to this point with his sheer tactical acumen and his pure skill with his sword
something that's really interesting is actually how he's described as a 'sword wielding guard', and theresa a 'royal dressmaker', before theresa was king- and he's even DRESSED like a guard.
He's very specifically still dressed like a sarkaz General, (uniform + red cape, shares this with Manfred) and an utterly unremarkable one.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the lore book also describes Theresis also being eligible to be chosen for the crown, but he willingly gave it up to continue his role as theresa's sword- and it describes him 'severing the horns of the sarkaz that refused to follow the orders of a dressmaker.'
i think that to him, he did care about theresa, but she was his king first and his sister second. what she meant to him wasn't just 'family', it was what she represented, her role.
Which was why despite his adherence to Sarkaz tradition, he was reluctantly willing to to let the confessarius bring her back, if it serves to advance his goals.
The biggest point is that he literally doenst give a FUCK about anything that isn't important to the future of the sarkaz. He's the scale of 'for the greater good' cranked up to the max.
His plan is deeply fucked up, but the core premise of it is that it must be done- and the craziest part of his plan, compared to theresa's, is that it might actually work to remove the shackles of the sarkaz from their oppressors.
genuinely so sick and tired of people reducing him down to 'villan who is hot' or 'generic fantasy bad guy' THATS THE MOST BORING INTERPRETATION you could POSSIBLY have for him.
