After seeing his reactions to memory-Echoes, fandom is convinced that Aragorn and Aaron are like the Hulk and Bruce Banner: Aragorn comes out during times of emotional stress. Previously, they thought he was an axe-crazy killer, but after the mines, it's clear he has a soft spot for Julien friends.

Therefore, what we get is gentle!Aaron and yandere-other-self!Aragorn, who often gets jealously, possessively dominant over Julien, or Emery, or whoever the writer pairs Aaron up with.

That aside, either fandom plays up the sketchiness too much or forgets he's sketchy at all: he's either a selfless, giving angel or high all the time, pushing drugs for a plot device or just for comedy.

God save you all.
