the aelwyn abernant instinct

complaining about high elves and sharing inside job gossip. the sisters ever actually

Aelwyn Abernant in Fantasy High Junior Year, Epsidoe 13: Infernal Conflict

I am feeling a way about Aelwyn continually inviting Adane to hang out at her apartment even though it's a disaster area with her ten ornery cats and scattered microwave dinner trays. I know a part of that is Brennan just wanting a reason to show the audience the very funny contrast from, "I came here to fuck!" to "Nooo Hector :(" But there's also something to her being like, "I want you here with me even though it will entirely ruin any possible remaining mystique around my cool girl persona"--something she absolutely still cares about in a general sense as she tells Adaine not to tell Fabian anyone else about what her apartment is like. It's one thing to be nice, but it's another to be vulnerable, especially when you've been raised in such a way that every weakness was used as a future attack--so much so that her entire brand of magic is protecting herself and not being vulnerable.

quick warm-ups from last wk's ep? as i prepare for this wk's ep?

aelwyn is the cunty neurodivergent rep we need. the look on her face when kristen is actually upset/hurt and she immediately backtracks- oh shit, i thought we were playing! we were joking! don’t friends bully each other? how else is affection expressed but through violence?

can we please talk about the nemesis ward. can we PLEASEEEE talk about the nemesis ward as the perfect metaphor for adaine and aelywyn’s relationship

I absolutely fucking love Brennan and Sibohan as catty British teen sisters like dishing on their enemies and playfully griping (and expressing honest sentiments of love and affection) at each other

Aelwyn's Nemisis Ward for Adaine and Sandra Lynn's Hunter's Mark on Fig my beloved

i have a lot of feelings about Aelwyn "I have so much love to give, exclusively to cats" Abernant who, knowing her sister and her sisters friends were in danger still told them to get in the briefcase. and then picked it up, despite being smart enough to know that it would put her in danger too, so she could try to take them to safety

hope you enjoy my silly little tweets for a silly little show i love 🩷 BAD KIDS for ever!

more abernant sisters bc i love them LET THEM HAVE NORMAL MOMENTS‼️‼️ KILL YOUR DAD‼️‼️

Adaine texting an, "I love you" to Aelwyn and then deleting it to force her to use divination spells to see what it said is so fitting for their dynamic. Like, yeah, love isn't earned, but open declarations of that love are. Fetch, bitch.

also VITALLY important to note that between adaine visiting aelwyn’s apartment and aelwyn moving back into mordred, she went from having 10 cats to 15
