Hey, she could have used Grandeur. See, kids don't know how easy they have it these day.

I mean, hey, if Thea wanted to teach the kids it is wrong to stick their necks out...

She would have met them with an axe?

Didn't she?

Nah.

I guess I just don't see her intended takeaway

I don't agree with your premise.

(and she DID use grandeur)

She used Dictum.

And grandeur, when they were all overwhelmed with love for her

Mmm... Eden was. The rest? No. Thea only EVER meant to make them stop and turn and listen.

See the above lesson "What you thought you knew as a wilder is not always what you know as a grump."

I distinctly recall grandeur on the group.

What did the kids "not know"?

Depends. What does each wilder learn in the journey to grump?

Whatever, I am not getting it

Ok.

Thea might have had intentions, but her execution, as far as I can see, taught a whole lot of things that created enmity where there was neutrality/amity.

Rivervale would have bred enmity anyway.

(In her view)

So why not hasten it?

?

hasten the distrust

I am not saying what Thea did was out of character, or an invalid RP choice or anything like - I'm just saying, whatever Thea may have intended, the result was sowing distrust and grievance

And I don't think the kids are unjustified in taking her actions poorly

She did not treat them well.

I will agree it was all honestly played.

Could she have treated them worse?

Sure

But she still treated them poorly.

Meh.

Sure. "Break everyone's legs and I'll deal with it in the morning."

Symon certainly isn't a fan. He remembers better than most

But, he's not chatting about it. For one, no one asked him

Thea said Symon could come again! She LIKES him.

Just sayin'. And, sluagh bones don't break so well.

They go boing.

heh

I thought any possible approval was revoked when she chided him for trying to blackmail her 😄

*Blink* No... no. That was just a .... pleased nudge.

She had her Fancy Glamour Face on and he was embarrassed!

Oh, the glorious one is disappointed 😭

and then he felt... icky, for feeling that way later. Not a fan of the sidhe whammy

Well, who is?

But he may remember later the invite... hmm. He probably should do a little research into these folk

Sidhe?

Most welcome.
