Dorian kinda sucks?
This is probably a really personal reason why I don’t like dorian but recently, I just noticed his way with women and how they so quickly fold for him. The women are so usually independent and reliable but the moment he’s in the picture, they’re a blushing mess (Celaena).
!And in the end Celaena ends up with Chaol before leaving. Later during the Tandem read, he’s flirting with Manon and she also FOLDS so easily? And they‘ve met like…four times max. During the exchange, at the castle to save his life, on the boat to save her life, and then the very flirty meeting when they helped her. Manon is supposed to be a woman who probably hasn’t relied on a man EVER. So the moment he’s starts touching her, she FOLDS LIKE A PANCAKE. !<
!This is why I’m Aelin and Rowan all the way, they built the tension. Even with Elide and Lorcan, like the yearning is there. I mean I guess I kinda liked the flirting when Dorian was still possessed? But at the ship, she felt so like….weak and malleable if you get what I mean.!<
I’m not saying he’s a bad man, he’s really respectable and has done NOTHING WRONG. He kinda irks me with this, but I guess he has his way with women?
