Listen after the constant goalpost moving / claims of the past few years that

Callum would never Ever do dark magic again under any circumstances (can't relate) because

claims of him valuing duty/goodness/morality above all else because he'd never ever be like Claudia and Viren (ignoring the fact that he already was)

and that he obviously didn't do it mostly to save Rayla and did it for the dragon ("I had to, to save my friends" thank you 5x08)

until his TOX bio came out and literally spelled it out otherwise ("I value those close to me more than anyone or anything [...] I am beholden to my inner circle not some silly kingdom")

and then backpedaling to "oh well he'd only do something Big and Dangerous like that for Ezran" (but adamant that it wouldn't be for Rayla, for Some Reason??)

to just complete silence on 1) said goalpost moving and 2) the fact they've had to consistently backpedal if not outright be wrong characterization wise

like I think I'm allowed to do a couple of petty memes on behalf of the "we like that Callum is kinda fucked up and would do outright terrible things / things he considers terrible for his loved ones because his core is that he loves Ezran and Rayla above anything and everything else" crowd that's stayed consistent for a long time and is now validated as fuck
