Raven!mytho - Tumblr Posts

If you guys think Rue's still feeling guilty for her actions...

Then just think about how bad poor Mytho must be feeling after everything.

Imagine having to live with the fact that you (unwillingly) attempted (multiple times) to sacrifice an innocent girl's heart to ressurrect a monstrous entity which is actually your greatest foe. Imagine performing all of this when you were supposed to love and protect anyone around you.

Even if Mytho's reputation as a prince stays intact after everything, I personally wouldn't say the same for his self-esteem and dignity.

"Anyone can write their own ending of their story. But one cannot erase ink from a page once it is dried. They can only keep writing forward, whether they like what they've already written or not."

So yeah it's really hard to find some good Mytho-centric angst in this fandom. Seriously it's like finding a needle in a haystack.

So I said "fuck it, I'll do it myself" and created this monstrosity.

I always wondered how (post-canon) Mytho would deal with the fact that he was essentially corrupted and did some pretty bad things throughout the second half of the series. After all, he was supposed to be a hero, wasn't he?

But while the other three characters of the main cast had a written story role that they went against for the greater good, Mytho had gone against his role as a heroic fairytale prince in one of the worse ways possible.

He knows it wasn't his fault that he tried to sacrifice the hearts of poor innocent girls. He was under the effects of raven's blood.

But it wasn't the Raven who did those things. It wasn't the main antagonist of the story who committed those crimes.

It was him.

And now he has to live with that fact, because that's how the finalized story of The Prince and the Raven was written.

TL;DR: someone please give this poor boy a hug.
