The standard moirallegience being unhealthy is my point, though. It's something that's made to appear commonplace in troll society but to all rights should seem patently insane to any human reader with their eyes open! What the hell can we expect Nepeta to possibly do about a guy whose society tells him he should hate her based on the colour of her blood and, by the way, is a thousand times more physically powerful than her? Of course giving every man a woman to calm him down isn't gonna fix patriarchy - it's gonna make it worse!

Meulin and Horuss takes this dynamic to its logical extreme by having Meulin actively harm Horuss' mental health by just, like, insisting that he smile and stop being so depressed all the time. Yeah, she fucking suuuuucks as a therapist, but like, why the fuck are we expecting this random teenage girl to be a good therapist for him? 😭 What possible qualifications does she have beyond being a cute and nice young lady? Darkleer saw his fated moirail one time, was convinced to stop committing violence for the span of about a minute purely on the basis of how cute and nice she was, and then spent the rest of his life alone in a cave wanting to fucking kill himself. The whole fairy tale is rotten from the core!!!
