A couple of days ago, while reading the HS wiki on my language, (I'm adding this bc I don't know how things are in english wiki,) I've read that prince's role can also be destroying unhealthy and toxic iterations/examples of their aspect and honestly I've never thought about it before but it makes perfect sence? Like, Dirk wanting to punch Dave's bro is a very prince of heart thing to do. I really wanted to share this find because I'm a prince and reading this made me really happy, holy shit.

Dirk literally threatens to shatter AR for being a toxic piece of shit and splinters the shades, but stops because ultimately, even though AR is kind of an asshole, he’s also his creation and a living entity, and cannot bring himself to go all the way, deciding to just humor him making him fully alive as a Sprite. Or. Part Sprite.
