Killing Paarthurnax struck me as a test of faith from the Blades, and frankly I don't think that the Dragonborn should feel so beholden to any earthly institution that she would kill an ally and a friend because that organization says to. Same reason I think that the only good canon choice in the civil war is negotiating the ceasefire because the Dragonborn should view that type of politics as far below the fate-given task of preventing Ragnarok in importance.

Join the Imperials, execute Ulfric Stormcloak, join the Dark Brotherhood, and assassinate the Emperor to usher in an era of accelerationism and heightened contradictions. :both-sides:
