Also ngl I feel like this is leaning into victim blaming if you put it into perspective. Their logic is that if you’re nice to someone, don’t be surprised when that person ends up obsessed and does bad things?? “If she didn’t want obsessed disciples, she shouldn’t have taught them or been nice to them!!” What a great way to discourage others from doing anything nice or becoming a teacher

I think that the way the story portrays their relationship is that she basically came in and saved them. She does also refer to them as "children" and say she "raised them, though not literally".
That said, I agree that any obsession isn't her fault, though the way she just left and told them to go to the tower and serve a new master was a bit abrupt.
PREACH BESTIE!!!! You took the words right out of my mouth
She also mentioned that one of her disciples was older than her when she began teaching them...so she couldn't have actually raised them i think olive was the one she taught at an young age
Not the disciple defenders doing it again and not comprehending or remembering any of the story smh. I said it before and I’ll say it again:
Chapter 39, in FL’s words she TRAINED them, not RAISED them. Ppl are acting like they saw a scene of her acting like a whole mother, and feeding kids, letting them live in her house, etc. The disciples hardly know anything about her and just mentioned her teaching them. And ppl are questioning why she cares for Claude but not her disciples? Maybe cause one is an actual child of her beloved friend and she actually is helping raise vs already grown students whom she only taught when it came to magic.
Instead of people feeling bad for the disciples, notice the amount of people they were willing to hurt in order to fulfill their own selfish wishes. They didn’t even care about their master’s own wish. They have an unhealthy obsession which even was pointed by themselves. It is not the FL’s obligation nor fault that people decided to be obsessed?? And also the equivalent these disciples are doing is like being taught by a teacher who they like, and then when they resign from the job, they decide to stalk them and cause havoc just to get the teacher by their side again.

SHE IS NOT THEIR MOTHER. SHE IS THEIR TEACHER. She does not have an obligation to raise and provide for them. If you were a highschool teacher and taught some kids, then they proceeded to stalk you by looking for where you live and who you’re with, then try to cause chaos and harm to others in order to find you- that sounds good to you? You should be responsible for just teaching some damn kids?? These defenders are truly acting like she’s their mother and imagined nonexistent scenes where she raised them as kids. They’re acting like she manipulated and brainwashed them into becoming abnormally attached to her. There wasn’t any scenes of her feeding, or even showing affection to them as kids that would be justified for them to have attachment issues. There was like one scene of them standing side by side in school but that’s it. These defenders have serious memory loss or are just deranged and I’m convinced they believe stalking is cool to do if someone teaches you/is nice to you.
