If a fantasy world has an ancient tree of wisdom, that means it must also have young trees that are dumb as shit. Just giving terrible advice like, “the evil wizard is kinda hot”’
okay. rude.
the first thing i think when i see “that person is kinda hot” framed as bad advice, is jar jar binks talking about padme to anakin
(which could have been dumbass behavior, but could also have been anything ranging from concerning creepy behavior to a genius evil mastermind trying to sow the seeds of what ultimately happened when those two grew up)
(i do not have a headcanon because i generally try not to think about star wars, especially the prequels, especially jar jar binks. But the web of connections never lets me forget some stuff)
