i have more Aedion thoughts but what else is new
one of the reasons that people say they hate Aedion is because of the way he acted when he found out that Aelin gave the blood oath to Rowan
but to put it into context, literally the page before Rowan dropped the “Gavriel is Aedions father” bomb so emotions were already pretty high for Aedion and Aedion explicitly states in the text that Evalin, Rhoe and his trainers would have know about Gavriel and kept it from him (probably to protect Aedion from Maeve but i personally think that knowing the person you are supposed to stay away from would really help you to actually stay away from them but that’s just me)
so Aedion is already angry that he has been lied to his whole life by his family, then he finds out that Aelin also lied to him literally the night before when they were talking about the blood oath so that must have been the icing on the cake of family betrayal, which he found out all about in the span of a couple of minutes. especially considering that the blood oath has been promised to him since he was a child and he has made plans to help Terrasen the rely heavily on him being a blood sworn general because he would have more authority than just a regular general. i would also be rather pissed to find out this information. was breaking shit and swearing a bit much? yeah, but they’re fae and the fae just act like that. it’s not like Aedion in the only one to ever overreact to a situation. Rowan literally almost killed him in that scene, i would also call that an over reaction.
so anyways, stop slandering my boy. his reactions and emotions are perfectly valid. i’m sure most of us would act the same all things considered.
