i could go on a whole rant about why dorian states so confidently and kindly that he's going to protect the inquisitor in the dark future they get thrown into, but to keep it short:

he was raised with responsibility to others at the forefront of his mind, and even if he's been a little shit in the past, that kind of duty was drilled into him and is so foundational that he probably doesn't realize it's there. the offer is 100% genuine, he means it absolutely, but it's also so much of a given for him that it really doesn't seem like a big deal to offer his protection because he's used to giving it anyway.

I always assumed I had a pretty good grasp on Captain America by virtue of being an Avengers reader, where he obviously shows up a lot, but when I started reading some Captain America comics I learned very suddenly that is Not The Case.

Steve in Avengers comics and by extension most crossovers is like "I represent the free nation! We can overcome anything, Avengers! Let's fight the good fight!" and he basically acts as a non-superpowered Superman. Truth, Justice and the American Way, and all that.

But Steve in Captain America comics is like "I have to kill myself". In almost every arc I've read so far he's either given up his identity as Captain America because he's become disillusioned with what the Government is asking of him and what he's even meant to represent, or he's considering giving up his identity for similar reasons, or he's feeling like he is not a man, not a person, only a symbol who has no private or personal life outside of being a soldier.

One time I opened up a random issue of Captain America and the first page was, genuinely, Steve dead in a river.

Like whatever you think you know about Captain America, I guarantee it's wrong. You haven't met Captain America until you've seen him dying of dehydration in a desert begging a scorpion to sting him so he can finally die, hallucinating Lady Liberty telling him he's a failure and a shell of a man.

i think i'm gonna do a bit of a following clean out, i'm getting some mild anxiety about how fast my dash moves and the number of folks i'm following.

if we've chatted or plotted, we're g2g. if you have multiple blogs and i unfollow a few, we can still chitchat/plot with those muses and i'll refollow when that happens.

if we haven't really interacted, it's nothing personal, i'm just trying to focus my dash down since i don't have a ton of time to dedicate to rp these days. happy to refollow at a later date.

and just as a reminder that i don't soft, i just unfollow.

you ever get all the way to work and think

i should've just stayed home
