When the unflappable character sees someone they care about in danger and the mask slips, it's great.

But when the unflappable character sees someone they care about in danger, and the mask DOESN'T slip.

Because they understand they need to be calm and unflappable now more than ever; if it protects them, it will certainly protect the person they care about. So their voice doesn't waver, their hands don't shake. They don't panic. From the outside looking in, they're as calm as could be. They handle it.

But after it's over-when the person they care about is safe, and the unflappable character is alone-they completely shatter. Gasping breaths, sobs, barely holding it together because someone they love almost DIED, and it was far, far too close for comfort.

(Optional: Character that they care about finds them in this state and comforts them.)

#Whump #YES thats the good shit #Also: if the person they care about BELIEVES THE CHARADE #They’re in danger and the person they THOUGHT cared about them is so calm?#Doesn’t seem worried at all and casually goes along with whatever is happening #Are they actually bothered at all that the other is in danger?#So they go their separate ways afterwards - the captured one beyond hurt #Especially since the person who supposedly cares for them doesn’t even try and keep them #Whereas Calm Character lets them go knowing full well they’re about to break down #And doesn’t want the other to see them like that

read goblin emperor in like a day and it made me cry multiple times. maia my best boy.

#The goblin emperor #boy went from ‘has no friends because he’s terrified of everyone’#to ‘has no friends because everyone is terrified of HIM’ real quick #and he doesn’t know how to handle it!!#He’s just trying his best to be a good person #and everyone around him says he’s being the wrong kind of good to the wrong kind of people #your older sister? She exists to marry for your benefit wym you’re sending her to school #the families of those who died in service to your father? Why should you care about them?#The poor (who you’ve never met) in a city far away (that you’ve never been to) should benefi-#- from your decision rather than any of the powerful entities bringing this matter to you?#why would you do that? Don’t you know you’ll never go there and never meet them?#And through it all Maia says ‘I know. I know I’ll never meet them. And the families may not want me there.#and my sister may not want to talk to me. But it doesn’t matter.#being kind matters even if no one praises you for it.#and I will be kind and I will do good - to the best of my ability- and I hope that will help even one #person who deserves help the way I deserved it and never received it.’#Maia drazhar the bridge builder emperor of all time
