Expanding on the HC that Aaravos had no idea wtf he was doing:
So I saw a reblog (sadly I don’t remember who it was and I kinda hope I find them again to better understand how stupidly genius this is) and the tags said that Viren had no idea what was going on either and NOW I COMPLETELY BELIEVE IT WAS JUST CONSTANT “what the fuck” ON BOTH SIDES
Like Aaravos’ mind is “shit shit shit he wants to know the plan..well I do have that sketchy info about the sun fire queen lmao let’s go fuck them up”
And Viren’s was like “okay okay okay wait look cool look like you know what you’re doing...I have no idea what I’m doing..let’s go ask the bug lmao”
