it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

“He is a weapon, a killer. Do not forget it. You can use a spear as a walking stick, but that will not change its nature.”

From 'Intimacy' by Hannah Cao

“And you’re not used to being loved. You’re used to people being attached to you, or being fond of you, or depending on you, not loving you, not really. So I think it doesn’t occur to you that it’s something that might actually happen.”

— Ancillary Mercy, Ann Leckie

Some people don’t know how to fall in love, like not knowing how to swim. They panic first when they jump in. Then they figure it out.
