tbh i can’t find myself to hate any of the HOTD main characters—I certainly don’t like so aspects like aegon being a rapist obviously— but I js love all of their complexity and their backstory that leads them to their decisions.
In Claws of Fire I know I make it seem as Team Green as the obvious bad guys and that is one of the reasons Visenya can be so insufferable around Jace until her character development. I recently received some hate by a few readers but Visenya is also supposed to be a complex character, she’s not driven by a greater good but by her own ambitions and the hatred she learned from what she was taught. She’s not supposed to be this perfect character readers will like—She’s evil and cunning and a brat all the while she tries to convince herself she’s good.
I never intended her to be good, I intended her to be complex by all the events that happened in her childhood.
Anyways, I just wanted to get this out of my chest even though I probably won’t get a response. So please stop sending me hate guys
