#arys....girl.....SHE isnt the one who swore holy vows

[tweedstoat]

Dont mind me just thinking of the parallels between Claude Frollo/ Esmeralda from the Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Arys Oakheart/Arianne Martell and how both Frollo and Arys are men sworn to celibacy, who simultaneously lust after a brown woman while fetishizing her and blaming her for their own failure to uphold their vows

#Arys is way nicer than claude frollo ofc #cant imagine him threatening to burn Arianne alive if she doesnt go out with him #but the otherizing and racism towards the object of their lust is absolutley there #Arianne Martell #also arianne does activley try to seduce him but like #arys....girl.....SHE isnt the one who swore holy vows #anyways the song hellfire from the hunchback of notre dame slaps #the way claude frollo sings 'its not my fault' while the chorus sings the mea culpa #*chefs kiss* #also the dichotomy between claude frollo wanting to kill esmeralda #whereas arys sacrifices himself to expunge the 'stain' on his honour #many thoughts head full
