On Peter and Violence
I think there’s two popular fanon camps regarding Peter Pevensie’s relationship with violence, and though there are certainly plenty of others who, like me, would disagree with both of them, it is those two versions of Peter that I keep seeing pop up again and again.
The first is that of the powerful, raging, warrior king: the version of Peter that speaks more to his mythologized persona within the books than the Peter we actually witness and interact with inside the narrative. His temper is hot, and his sword is fast, and his legacy is soaked in blood. It’s this Peter that lends itself so readily to the (equally fanon) idea that Edmund is the more diplomatic of the two.
The second is that of the pacifist. This idea of Peter is opposed to violence, and only fights under great duress, or because he has been given no other choice; it’s the version of his character that people have snatched from a deleted scene in the “Prince Caspian” film in which he claims he is “thinking about a career in medicine,” and in doing so, distances himself from the war back home. (Although, I would also blame the PC film for the angry, impulsive version of Peter who dominates too much of the fandom; that movie’s interpretation of him is a tragedy.)
Now, of the two, I would prefer the second. It’s at least marginally truer to the boy who “didn’t feel very brave” but did his duty in “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,” and I appreciate that. However, I also have a personal vendetta against the extreme version of this viewpoint which prioritizes Peter’s peaceful nature over his dutiful courage, and this is why I’m writing out what I believe are the nuances of his character that sometimes get overlooked in favour of idolizing either his strength or his softness.
There is a statement in my mind to describe him that I avoid using, because I know it requires more context than I usually want to give, but here and now, we’ll call it my thesis: Peter prefers problems he can hit.
this is my all time favourite post I've ever seen on reddit everyone read it please

Utkarsh will go down in history as one of the Guests of All Time. Money moves only. Tells his life story off a notes app and then commences PVP and is almost instantly downed. Prompts a players regression into darkness. Has a shitload of magical items that he apparently never used. Asked Marisha for help when trying to kill them. The first PVP death.
let me see if I have this right. bor’dor experienced life-altering trauma. he signed up with a cult leader to hurt whoever he could however he could in order to take down the gods because he felt personally betrayed. orym experienced life-altering trauma. he Did Not sign up with a cult leader. he did not intend to hurt whoever he could however he could. he continued to protect his people. he has consistently refused to hurt or kill, subduing enemies instead of eradicating them, and asking the rest of the hells to follow suit whenever possible. he has taken the deaths at their own hands hard and seriously. he has, as of yet, not taken now multiple betrayals personally. but bor’dor is to be pitied and excused while orym is to be dismissed and deemed somehow both a “boring, moral boy scout who needs to stop bitching” about *checks notes* his dead husband and a “cold, selfish, single-minded man becoming a murderer full of bloodlust!!!!!!!” ok. you can *kiri voice* go fuck yourself!

"I wanted to create a character that held onto his kindness as long as he could."
Orym is past his breaking point. He's been destroyed and betrayed too many times. They've killed the kindness in him. Now they get to see what they've wrought.
For so long, we thought his breaking point would be loud, explosive, violent. A dam breaking and letting rage free.
“We’re at war.” and the surrendering of a talisman of guilt for killing a guard.
So simple. So quiet. And it has the weight of a world behind it.

The part I love best about tranquilized Beatrice is that she's still never far from Protective Girlfriend Mode. She's all woozy, still trying to get her bearings. Then Ava gets yeeted through the theatre door and she's like: Aaah!
She practically throws herself after her.
Even in the first episode, after drinking all night with Ava in the bar, she runs full-pelt into that street fight and takes down every person in sight. Bea's always ready to go.
Good thing it was only Camila this time or she'd have been aikido'd in the throat.
