A Twisted Halloween: Spectral Soiree - Tumblr Posts

Wow, this Endless Halloween Night event is really showing us the... less savory sides of Lilia’s parenting.  And while I do enjoy the insight into his character, showing that he’s not the perfect, omniscient father that a lot of the fandom portrays him as—myself included ^^;—it’s still somewhat unsettling to see.

Are we finally going to get a more serious glimpse into how his distance and lesser capacity to empathize (cough Silver’s first birthday SSR cough) have affected his son in Book Seven? I really hope so... It would be very interesting to explore what morals, emotions, and relationships on the whole, particularly familial ones, mean to the fae.  Do they place the same importance on blood ties that humans do?  (Judging from Sebek’s eagerness to denounce his mortal side, this might not be the case...)  What even is the meaning of such fleeting matters in the face of eternity?

Or perhaps his willingness to leave Silver alone is something that stems more from circumstance; after spending so long trapped in a never-ending cycle of war and death, leaving a child to navigate the world on their lonesome may simply feel like the norm.  After all, when was the last time they got to experience the warm comfort of a parent’s coddling embrace?

But, whatever the case, let’s take this seriously, twst...!  We don’t need any more “jokes” about something that can be genuinely concerning and hurtful—not that I’m referencing any situations in particular, of course—when we can have some scrumptious angst for Silver instead.

Besides, how else are we going to get a final, parting line from Lilia, whispering, “I’m sorry, Silver.  I never meant to fail you this way... my dear son...” as he looks upon his beautiful child one last time? :’)
