@comeonnow0 Or it was just a typo. The @ system here isn't automatic compared to other places. Maybe don't go presuming other's intentions and calling it purposely with zero basis.
Understanding is comprehending why. Excusing is to lessen the attached blame by accepting the given excuse. Condoning is allowing it to happen with tentative approval and permission to continue. I understand perfectly well. I don't condone what she's done and have never said that I do. I also completely understand why she did it and how it came to this point.
If I'm trying to excuse her attempted murder, then you're trying to excuse her family abusing her. I'm going to go ahead and assume you're not trying to do that because it's something only apathetic monsters would do and you're very insistent on morality in your argument.
I think
you're the one not understanding something. You either don't understand what she went through, or don't understand what that does to a person. She wasn't just picked on or ignored. She was
abused and neglected for basically the entirety of her life. There are ZERO people who walk away from an abusive childhood without scars or at least a minor form of PTSD. She fixated on the prince as a way of escape and hope-which to be clear wasn't the healthy thing to do-and it backfired along with everything else when her sister came into the picture.
This is not something that only happened for the past few months in her life. This is something that happened for ALL her life, and her sister was the straw that broke the camel's back. She dealt with it and coped up until someone who got everything she wanted as forcibly inserted into her life with no way for her to distance herself from it.
Violette was emotionally and psychologically
tortured for almost her entire life, and while she's correct in thinking it was the wrong thing to do at present, it's accompanied by a broken spirit and pretty strong depression.
To state my stance so we're clear:
- She was wrong for attempting to murder her sister because she was innocent. The fact that she was queen is irrelevant because royalty has no bearing on morality.
- They were right to punish her because it was attempted murder and she was still unstable.
- Her outburst was primarily her parent's fault. If I were to allocate responsibility, it would be 70-ish% her parents with roughly half of what's left being hers and the remainder being the prince and her sister's. It was her actions, but her family caused it and the couple triggered it.
- The prince is being obnoxious and overly intrusive with his actions here in the present. On one hand, I would say it's fair karma for her doing more or less the same in the first timeline. On the other, now he's the one causing problems, so he needs to fuck off.
- Feel free to disagree if you want, but don't @ me to keep arguing because I'm sick of this conversation.
