developed a real fondness lately for characters who experience a horrific act of violence and come out the other side saying "ah. I don't think I get to be me anymore. they took out the part that was me, killed it, and put something else back in its place, and now I'm whoever the hell that is." love it when someone becomes a corpse and replaces themself <3

The best tragedies will have you thinking "I wish it could've gone any other way" and "this is the only way it could've ended" at the same time

Character who doesn't get to die & character who doesn't get to live. Is that anything.

i say "my friend" a lot when addressing people and i think the initial reason was because its a good replacement for "dude" in sentences But also i just really like it because it makes me sound very whimsical and kind. It is up to you my friend. Thats a wonderful idea my friend.

"I love you but you're doing wrong in a way I cannot condone" and "I hate you but you're being wronged in a way I cannot stomach" are top tier and I need more of them.

"How could you do this" with the help of the demon blade "this isn't you" well yeah it's me and the demon blade "I know you're a good person" yeah that wasn't in question "please come home" not if you're gonna be a dick to the demon blade "we need to destroy the demon blade" listen I don't come to family gatherings and say we Need To Destroy aunt cassie and she's genuinely evil, unlike the demon blade

I'm having thoughts about Kallig as Captain tonight. Captain as a title, as opposed to "crew", as a position of power and an impossibility to connect with those he travels with. Kallig is Grysk. Grysk always attack in groups. Never alone. They're weak on their own. But Kallig is an outcast, we know that, even if we only learned it through Dusk's portrayal of him. He's an Outcast and a Sith and a Curator, and he is Captain of the Current.

The crew fears him. By fearing him, they worship him. They put him up on that pedestal, and now they hate him for what he represents in their eyes.

He never had the chance to be a person, not as a Grysk, not as a part of his crew, not in his relationship with Dusk. And Dawn never even got to meet him.

no, the underrated gem is the “sheep and a dying wolf” trope where the sheep finds a wounded wolf and decides to help nurse it back to health, out of sympathy, despite all the horror and the violence the sheep knows the wolf has done and is capable of once it’s healed. but deep down, the sheep also knows the wolf hunts and maims and kills only to survive. for the sheep’s friends, the wolf is a monster who deserves to die a slow and painful death. but for the wolf — and maybe for the kind sheep too — the wolf’s violence is only a means to survive in this world that has deemed it a cruel, mindless monster. the wolf, despite its pride, accepts the sheep’s help. and slowly the wolf finds itself unable to kill the sheep who saves its life, despite having regained its full health and strength. for some reason the wolf wants to protect and shelter the sheep the way the sheep has protected and sheltered it when it was left to die from the wounds it sustained from the fight it’s lost. maybe it really does take so much violence to be this gentle.

when I say enemies to lovers, this will always be one of the things I think about besides the homoerotic tension.

also, yes, I dedicate this post to seong gi-hun and hwang in-ho

the aftermath of love and loss

the dynamic between two people who love a third person so much and come to understand each other because of that is so important to me. you would put them first, and so would i. you understand why we have to save them from themself. i trust you with their life, and so, that means more than if i trusted you with mine. the love doesn't have to be the same, but it's powerful enough that you understand why you're not the only satellite drawn into their orbit.
