K!! Is!! A deeply flawed young adult!!! They are NOT:

1. MALICIOUS

2. ABUSIVE

3. A TERRIBLE PERSON

They are a 20 year old with almost zero real life connections, who as far as they know caused the destruction of the world's most valuable resource by doing the right thing. They've spent three years on the run being asked to fix the world's magical problems from a trailer with only a stressed out chipmunk helping them.

Of course their first instinct is to help. They're constantly being asked to solve other people's problems; their good friend being injured in a way they COULD have fixed but DIDN'T? Of course that's fucking anxiety inducing.

so.

i am doing my best to not come into a fandom space with the intention of being a terrorist. i want to talk about the fucking amazing things about mismag 2 and i have been.

but also i have been a bipoc in fan spaces for decades now and i am not down for another round of 'bipoc partner/ex of white character becomes fandom punching bag.'

i don't object to the idea that blowing up someone's arm, even if it's fixable, could be a relationship-ending event. what i strongly object to is the idea that k is uniquely horrible for their past behavior and therefore unforgiveable. k is not evan's abuser. don't put that on them.
