#hello hello its about the circular narrative of fate and the fact sky is doomed to repeat his fathers' mistakes

#and how bloom literally walks the walk that marion did

#its about the fact we're doomed by the narrative babyyyy

#falls to the ground

pls elaborate (genuinely) i am dumb and i did not understand

you're not dumb at all anon! I just forget people cannot hear the mental essays I'm constantly rambling on lmao

Fate is very much a cyclical tale, we mention the sins of before: the war a 1000 years ago, the first Dragon Flame, Rosalind's 1st regimen, Andreas and Saul's fallout - and then we poise them against the present: the blood witch x fairy remaining conflict, the reappearance of the Dragon Flame, Farah's regimen and later Rosalind's 2nd one, Saul raising Sky vs Andreas raising Beatrix.

The narrative asks the question "will the mistakes be repeated? Can we change our fate? Can we do differently than we were taught?"

Bringing it back to skloom, the narrative asks this of Sky, in full words. Marco asks Silva "does he have the same bloodlust as Andreas?" and Silva says "We've taken our time with him. We've been careful. He's his own man."

So the question is "Is he?" Is Sky his own man or is he doomed to follow the footsteps of his biological dad?

Season 2 opens with Silva saying "It's been a few months and you're already starting to sound like him, Sky."

But not only that, we follow Sky's character as he gets closer and closer to Silva's. He kills his own father. He unravels. He drinks enough that when he's knocked out by a blood witch and other's blame it on booze, he doesn't even question it.

And finally we end season 2 taking away the person he loves. So cyclical, the question stays, will he follow into his father(s) footsteps or is Sky his own man?

Bloom is an entire other can of worms. Bloom's cycle is deeper, older and unknown to herself. She comes to Alfea having hurt someone she loved and afraid of her own powers, she spends a whole season and a time skip learning to control her powers, only to bite her own tail and end up where she began: having killed someone with her powers, scared of herself and what she'd do, feeling like she doesn't belong.

And again we're told by the show, "I'm dangerous Sky, my mom knew that. That's why she sealed herself away. The Dragon Flame doesn't belong here. I don't belong here," metaphorically putting Bloom back exactly where she began - the question: where do I belong? Can I come home? -, but literally too as Bloom walks through the portal exactly as her biological mother did and shuts herself away, walking the path to, presumably, meet with the woman herself.

Fate is about generational trauma and the tragedy of repetition, and the hanging question, "Can we change our fate?"
