tbh i do not understand the magnus hate in the comments. im not a huge fan of him, frankly i dont really care about him, but everyone is acting like he’s an abusive monster for…. being rationally cautious of his abusive wife? like, you all seem to forget that she spent TEN YEARS emotionally abusing him. yeah, it wasn’t really our serena who did it, but he doesnt know that? you can make an argument that he SHOULD have known that it wasn’t her, but he has consistently described it as though “she became a different person” and recognized fairly quickly that she’s “just like the old serena”. like tbh if anything, my biggest beef with magnus as a character is how fast he’s willing to look past ten years of abuse that culminated in A MURDER ATTEMPT THAT ALSO WAS TREASON. again, that wasn’t our girl, but thats still a LOT to just look past. and our serena has at NO POINT said anything to the degree of “that wasn’t me, i didnt do it”. she’s only said “what i did was bad and i regret it”. and yeah, she probably doesnt think anyone would believe her (and she might be right), but my point is that if my spouse had been emotionally abusing me for TEN FUCKING YEARS and suddenly turned around and said “oh whoops, i regret it all, im sorry, we can divorce amicably? kthx”, my first response wouldnt be “oh you’re a saint, ily babe”. i’d be responding a LOT more spitefully than this guy. my mind wouldnt jump IMMEDIATELY to “oh she must have been possessed for 10 years”, instead i’d just be like “okay…. but how can i ever trust her again? sure, she’s nice now. but she was nice before too. and then she turned around and abused me for ten years. i dont wanna relive that actually”.
look, im not saying that magnus is husband of the year or even my favorite character, but the amount of hate he gets in the comments is downright nonsensical. i feel like the readers just have no comprehension of what ten years of emotional abuse would feel like. she isolated him from others, jeopardized his families position within nobility, and constantly tried to cheat on him with a taken man. not to mention terrorized his staff and his home. breaking things so regularly that her showing up and NOT breaking something while screaming was cause for comment. I repeat. Emotional. Abuse. what this man endured at the hands of whoever was in our serena’s body (potentially the original???) was really fucked up and the fact that he’s willing to give her so many chances so quickly frnakly speaks to him being overly trusting imo. this man should really make more of an effort to protect himself :/
(cmon guys. if the roles were reversed i doubt you’d even have a moments doubt. if a woman was terrorized for 10 years with a man that constantly tried to cheat on her, isolated her socially, and enetered frequent violently angry fits, you wouldnt be jumping for her to grovel at his feet in forgiveness :/ even if he WAS possessed, her fear and caution of him would be 100% rational)
anyway, overall magnus is mid as a character but he really doesnt deserve this level of vitriolic hate :/
It’s not that you discovered it late, it’s just you took her love for granted, and then, as soon as she came back, you wanted to be with her,which is what you shouldn’t do as a husband, because if you chose her to be your wife for the right reasons, and you’re leaving her for the wrong reasons. Then you weren’t meant to be together.
This poor guy lol – I bet he will be the most relieved when it’s eventually revealed she was possessed by someone else or the evil bunny made some sort of evil deal that caused her to do evil deeds to try to ‘save the world’ or whatever
