Yes he deserved that eye pluck I too dont see it as an extreme reaction lol but he also wronged to some extent not ofc as much as seth but if we are to deepdive into it they both are wrong and have wronged each other so ppl shouldnt be nitpicking sides.
He didnt rape him tho? Also wdym again? If u are referring to s1 then that was against his will. He was affected by mirror illusion and seth was there to rape him first anyway. Also horus didnt want it n regretted doing it. He's a victim of that scene like seth. Also neph isnt even in mirror anymore and horus knows shes not there. He was throwing a fit n having a crashout cuz of his insecurities he didnt break the mirror to keep her locked forever. If he had such intentions then he wouldnt have given nephtys the blue gem to navigate her way out of void in secret village chapter. Yes he's very wrong n immature for hiding allat from seth but we gotta see where this lacking comes from. They just barely begun and didnt get enough time to properly flesh out their relationship before all this. Seth's nature, his behavior n attitude towards love n ppl around him also influences horus insecurities. (Im not blaming seth. He's the way he is cuz of osirishit)
Also horus is remorseful tho? Like he woke upp all battered and bandaged and his first thought is abt seth's well being. Hes not budged by thots purposeful instigation against seth. He's still refusing ascenssion for seth and you'll see him blame himself in future chapters too dont worry abt that part.
Its unfortunate really for seth who had his family robbed from him but if u go beyond the layers you'd see his entire marriage was a orchestrated sham by osiris to keep him sedated n chained by his side. He kept breaking seth's soul and made nephyths heal him again n again n again. Over the course of time he made them marry each other for his own goals. Seth did love nephyths but this love of his is different. Its an unhealthy and borderline dependency. More than them loving each other n seeing each other's truest sides they fullfill your traditional norms of duty loyalty n fidelity which u see seth exhibit even now. Its not for love that he's scrambling to her side but partly because by nature he's a very man of honor kinda guy who feels he has a responsibility towards his kin esp upon realising that he's unjustly assumed the worst abt her n tortured her for it.
Sorry did I miss out smth?? I only remember the one time that horus assaulted seth under the influence of sekmeth's spell? Not that I condone it but y'all be hating on horus for no reason. Save the hatred for that green alien who has done everything intentionally up till now and is still not stopping
Yep horus needed that, because bro was being selfish
True. His major flaws are being hot headed rash and insecurities related to seth. Also he's still a newbie interms of life experiences compared to the others who are wayyy older than him. He literally grew up in uncertain life threatening dreadful starvation condition. To be so emotionally attuned is alrdy great of him. But I wanna see him develope his own personality without seth in the picture for a while. At his core horus isnt selfish per se. He truly sees seth for who he is and accepts him with all his rights n wrongs. He knows seth values family and would put them first over anyone else. Even himself. And its precisely because of this reason that he let his immature selfish side get the best of him temporarily. Knowing the one u love doesnt prioritise u as much as he's prioritizes ex wife n kid is one kind of pain but seeing your beloved get hurt again and again as consequences of these very priorities (osiris using anubis n neph time n time again to blackmail n do shit against seth) would test even the most patient of saints
Yess thas what, in that critical moment he was being selfish
okay listen
I don't really like how they're trying to make us sympathetic towards horus like yeah alright he lost an eye and he feels bad and he was wronged too I get it but honestly? how was he wronged? genuinely asking.
did seth always behave correctly with horus? no. but I think this last action was warranted.
I mean, horus broke the mirror (after basically raping him, *again*). that mirror held one of the pieces of his wife's soul, of her.
like, a lot can be said about seth but he loves his wife. and you could argue he's starting to love horus but he *loves* his wife. everything he did, in the past especially, was because of her. and horus took a piece of that and destroyed it.
idk about yall but I wouldve gone crazy too, and seth is a violent and temperamental person so it doesn't surprise me how he reacted, I'd say its justified. sure, horus was emotional too so I get why he did it but what really irks me is that he shows no regret, he doesn't understand the gravity of what he's done, he doesn't even question it. doesn't ask himself why seth reacted like that, the narrative and the characters just blame seth (like they always do, imo)
idk I just wish the story and the characters realised seth has feelings too, and that they're not just forcing him to fall in love again with horus (or whoever else), they're asking him to stop loving his wife.
