I Imagine Child Abuse Is Treated Like Grief Is In The Lost Cities. We As Humans Are Aware That Some Parents

I imagine child abuse is treated like grief is in the Lost Cities. We as humans are aware that some parents abuse their children, and that, although our systems are flawed, we need to help kids get out of the bad situation. We humans are also accustomed to grief as a part of life, and have researched and come up with ways to help others and ourselves cope.

The Lost Cities...don't have much experience in those aspects.

There's a bunch of reasons elves might not pick up on signs of abuse, similar to how humans might not. But the number one difference is that elven denial runs SO DEEP throughout their society. They deny the existence of rebellion, discrimination, social shaming, and more on the basis of "our world is so perfect and not at all like those humans!"

With that, Keefe is practically stuck. Running away to another elf will get him sent back home, whether by the elf he ran to (think perhaps Alden "no reason to worry" Vacker) or by Council interference (like if he ran to Sophie; she'd fight tooth and nail for him, but the Council is has more power than her, both in manpower (goblins) and political power). And goodness knows the Council won't do anything about it. They didn't do shit for the Song twins OR Keefe. So Keefe is between a rock and a hard place.

Elves aren't better than humans. Elves are deeply, truly, alarmingly HUMAN. They just refuse to acknowledge it.

Okay But Can't Keefe Just Move Out Now. Now That It's All Done And Gone And His Dad No Longer Has Any

okay but can't keefe just move out now. now that it's all done and gone and his dad no longer has any leverage on him. and "keefe was the kind of guy who was always willing to take the hit if he thought it would help a friend" . . . sure. let's put it that way. mhm

In honor of the return of my Faith: the Unholy Trinity hyperfixation, I finally reblog the fanart that made me cackle the first (and second, and third) time I saw it. John, my beloved, I don't think that should have been gambled (but they probably wouldn't have accepted anything else)

I have to say: thank you so much for giving such an elaborate response. I learned so much, and I really appreciate you taking the time to walk me through it.

I do understand how scary it is to stand up for what's right behind enemy lines, but Lise is right: if it is only the victims worrying about it, nothing will be fixed. Reading through the sources, I could argue that he was not explicitly a Nazi, but he was incredibly complacent, the ass. Which I find incredibly aggravating. I mean, sure, he tried to protest, but when that didnt work he just??? rolled over????? It all felt like a half effort, you know? Which is incredibly frustrating. Like, grow a spine. Stand for what you claim to believe in, Otto.

His efforts post-war are what really upsets me. Like, the threat is gone and you dismiss the effect Nazism had on science? You undermine your colleague and friend? You sweep it under the rug? What the heck? This isn't just passive; it's cruel. It's erasing history, and people's suffering, and oh my gosh I'm going to cry because I can't imagine being Lise and finding out about this after everything she did to fight back.

And finally, after, what, 6 reblogs? I finally understand the concern. I think the idea that elves helped progress Nazi atrocities could really tear the Council down (which would be SO interesting to see), but I think this will be a detail that does not affect anything. Maybe it would break down the elves' sense of superiority? But yeah, I think it was just mentioned to prove a point. I dont know what it means for Shannon specifically, but what an educational experience it birthed.

Again, thank you so much. You have such an intelligence about you, and I am glad to have experienced it. I learned so much from you, and I appreciate you spending the time to dispense your knowledge. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

Shannon did not think it through when she said elves gave humans technology to build atomic bombs. Why? Because the Nazis... YES THE GOD DAMN NAZIS were the first people to start developing it. meaning the elves gave the Nazi's the tools to start developing it willingly
