Blake is still afraid of him, but she won’t let that fear control her. She won’t let that fear make decisions for her. She went to protect Haven, stared Adam in the eyes and told him she had more important things to take care of than him. She didn’t come to Haven for him. She didn’t leave for him. At the end of Volume 4 she said she’d take the White Fang back from Adam, but what she did was also taking back her life.
@thoughts-of-a-bibleophile honestly I would have been perfectly happy to watch her take him down in a fight, but having been in a similar situation (minus a few murders and dismemberments) this was so much more powerful to me? Like, getting to the point you can stand up to an abusive ex is hard, but finding the strength to tell them “you’re not worth the energy it would take to destroy you” and walking away is so much harder. Aside from anything else in this episode or volume I’d like to hug the writers for this scene alone, I loved it!
okay i have seen zero posts about the fact that Blake not only smacked Adam into the dirt last episode but this episode she looked him in the face and told him he wasn’t worth her time? Because that was fucking beautiful and just as brave as anything Yang did and I’m so proud of her.
