there’s a lot of ayla defenders and thalia haters on the internet, especially on tiktok. no one will probably see this but this is just my two cents. i don’t hate ayla, but i don’t understand why her supporters love to drag thalia down. i understand that thalia is not a good person and by no means am i defending her actions but how else do you expect her to act? do you guys want her to be obedient and listen to every person in the entire kingdom insult and belittle her? must she bow down even though she’s a princess (albeit illegitimate?) or would you rather she succumb to her misery and constantly self harm herself? honestly, i think most thalia supporters just feel bad for her because in comparison to ayla, thalia has nothing. not even her own mother cares or protects her. thalia has to endure everything by herself. even after becoming crippled, instead of sympathy, the maids and knights make fun of her. so what else should she do? should she just let these strangers comment about her when they have never once experienced what she’s gone through? again, i don’t hate ayla, i actually like her but you can’t expect people not to support thalia when 1) she’s the main character and 2) her life is completely miserable and wretched. so yeah, she burns a maid’s face because the maid made fun of her being crippled? it is dramatic but you guys want a perfect victim so bad. did you want her to cry and wallow and have the ml save her? guess what, even in this story, the ml won’t save her. no one is willing to save thalia so she must make a villain of herself to make people fear her.
