Thoughts on Clay?
Ohhh my god where do I even start,,, he's tied with Peril for my favourite character, he's the reason MudWings are my favourite tribe, I ADORE him so much and I hate how he got dumbed down after his book
He's sooo much more than 'big dumb guy who likes food' is he a bit slow and naive sometimes? Sure! Is he dumb? No! God, I love his inner conflict in TDP about his 'inner monster' and how he isn't and never was how the Guardians saw him and it's up to HIM to decide who he gets to be
His relationship with his friends, and sibs when he meets them- how much he worries about their wellbeing and how that strengthens his want to end the war, and also the way he views the dragons in the arena as just... regular dragons, like him- trapped and forced to fight- he sees the 'humanity' in others the way most dragons wouldn't (like Peril and even Fjord) and wants to end this war with as little death as possible. GOD I could rant about him all day. Also he's funny!! Justice for Clay, he's unfortunately not as popular as he deserves to be
