『Pay it Forward』Part2 ~From you to the world."Kindness is infinite." The meaning of receiving and giving~

13.Lies and truth

The second person writes ’Mr. Simonette’.

The plan is to get Simonette and her mother Arlene together.

Trevor tried to bring his mother and teacher closer together by writing letters.

Arlene and Simonette see through Trevor's thoughts as he lights the candles and prepares the

table.

Arlene and Simonette then have dinner together.

They were able to get to know Trevor and a little bit about each other.

Dinner ends suddenly when her friend Bonnie shows up.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Arlene:

"How could you do that to me?"

"Write a letter to him, sign my name?"

Trevor:

"Why'd you have to mess everything up?."

Arlene:

"I didn't mess this up."

"What were you doing?"

"Standing at the door listening?"

"What happened to your stomach ache?"

Trevor:

"Why? You always lie."

Arlene:

"This wasn't my fault."

"This was embarrassing."

Trevor:

"I did something good and you don't know it."

Arlene:

"Honey, listen."

"You can't just put two people together and make them like each other."

Trevor:

"You only like people you can get drunk with."

"You're waiting for him to come back."

Arlene:

"No,I'm not."

Trevor:

"Yes, you are!"

Arlene:

"Your father's not getting his foot."

Trevor:

"That's what you always say."

Arlene:

"I mean it now."

Trevor:

"You always mean it."

Arlene:

"What do you want me to say?."

"I say it, I mean it."

Trevor:

"When he's around you don't care what happens to me."

"You don't even know I'm in the house."

Arlene:

"That’s not true."

Trevor:

"It’s true."

ーーーーーーーーーー

Arlene is weighing her own loneliness against her useless husband.

You understand Trevor's lack of love.

Arlene tries to kiss Trevor, but Trevor dodges and rejects her.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Arlene:

"I love you. I'm doing the best I can."

Trevor:

"Don't love me."

"I hate the way you look."

Arlene:

"Trevor, you need to stop."

Trevor:

"I hate that you're my mother."

ーーーーーーーーーー

Trevor can see through the lack of sincerity.

In a fit of anger, Arlene hits Trevor as hard as she can.

Immediately after that, She came to her senses and regretted it.

Arlene is so shocked that she can't hold back her tears and searches the house desperately for alcohol.

This scene depicts alcoholism in a very realistic way.

As if she were a burglar, she was looking for alcohol while removing the furniture from the house.

Trevor doesn't want to hear his mother's sight or sounds, so he closes the door to his room and covers his ears.

The "fucking world" attacks Trevor's heart.

The curses, sounds of destruction, and sobs from the fights between his mother and father from the past.

Arlene finds some alcohol and tries to drink it, but then stops and spits it out.

Meanwhile, Trevor ran away from home.

Without a car, Arlene asked Simonette for help.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Arlene:

"I'm sorry to do this to you."

"Bonnie wasn’t home."

"The cops wouldn't come."

"And my friends are all drunks."

"And so am I."

"I'm a drunk too."

Simonette:

"I believe some people refer to that as 'in recovery'."

ーーーーーーーーーー

At the long-distance bus terminal, Arlene and Simonette protect Trevor.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Arlene:

"For the rest of my life, I can never be as sorry…as I am for what I did to you."

"I didn't drink."

"I wanted to, but I didn't."

"You got no reason to trust me…"

"…and I know you don't want to hear any more promises…"

"…so I'm just gonna tell you the truth."

"I have a problem."

"I have a really bad problem."

"I've got to stop."

"And if you can be with me on this…"

"…if you can think it's possible that I can do it…"

"…then I think maybe I can."

"If you just…try a little bit and help."

ーーーーーーーーーー

After hearing her true feelings, Trevor hugged his mother.

Simonette was watching from the side.

It is really important to face a crisis.

Be patient, hide our expressions, and go about our daily life.

We become lonely, and the sadness becomes unbearable, and someday it will overflow.

Accept our weaknesses, show our true self to others, and ask for help.

Simonet, who witnessed this, was thinking with deep emotion outside her house.

14.Candlelight for Sidney

Chris meets Sidney in prison after he "Pay it Forward" to a top lawyer.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Sidney:

"It's like three favors, player."

"You got to do three."

"I'll do the other two here for my folks."

"A lot of brothers need favors in here."

Chris:

"But who told you to do it?"

ーーーーーーーーーー

Sidney lies and says he came up with the idea.

He is a man with a tendency to lie.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Chris:

"How did you come up with an idea like that?"

Sidney:

"Man, it's like…the world is a shithole."

"Excuse me my French and shit."

"And it's like…I just thought, like, boom!."

"Like the whole shit could be, like, better."

Chris:

"It didn't start with anyone else?"

Sidney:

"No, nigger. That shit came from here."

"The shit came from my head."

"I can't lie."

"I've been through some heavy-ass shit."

"But not no more, because it changed me."

"And I'm changing this place, man."

"I mean, people are listening to me."

"People are staying clean."

"I mean, it's like some cosmic Aristotle shit."

"You feel me?"

Chris:

"Yeah, no doubt. No doubt, dog, no doubt."

"The thing is, Sidney…"

"…somebody else is saying that Pay it Forward was their idea."

Sidney:

"Who?"

Chris:

"I think you know who."

Sidney:

"That bitch?"

"She a lying-ass bitch."

"She's a lying bitch. She's got your head."

Chris:

"She makes a pretty good case, though, Sid."

Sidney:

"That old crusty bag lady?"

"This is all from me. All from my heart, dog."

Chris:

"Sidney, it doesn't matter if you got it from the lady or not."

"You're the one paying it forward."

"In prison, no less."

"The parole board will eat that up."

Sidney:

"Oh, the parole board."

Chris:

"The parole board."

Sidney:

"Oh, snap, yo. You good, man."

"It's like a carrot for the mouse and shit."

"No doubt. It's too bad my parole don't come up for another year, B."

Chris:

"What if I can make it so your parole comes up next month?"

ーーーーーーーーーー

Sidney is a delinquent and a man with bad behavior.

What made him "Pay it Forward"?

I think that is our "role" with society.

We could call it a "connection" with society.

That may have been due to Sidney's desire to escape from his feelings of worthlessness and

alienation from society.

You need connections to get into parties, and tickets are required to get into concerts.

However, the truth is that we can "connect" with society simply through the act of "role."

Chris uses his connections to get Sidney released.

That is to ask Sidney about the episode.

Sidney steals a boombox and is chased by a police car when he is rescued by an old woman.

An old woman buys alcohol from a liquor store and gets into her car.

She encounters Sidney on the run.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Old woman:

"Hey, you in trouble?"

"Get in!"

Sidney:

"Get in?"

Old woman:

"Come on, get in!"

ーーーーーーーーーー

Sidney escapes from the police car by getting into an old woman's car.

At this time, the stage moves from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.

The old woman arrived at the roost and immediately drank all the alcohol.

Sidney looked like a helpless old woman.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Sidney:

"What are we doing?"

Old woman:

"Whatever we want."

Sidney:

"Damn. You think I’m going for your dried-up crusty ass? Whatever."

Old woman:

"Shoot. I smell better than you do."

Sidney:

"Yeah, all right."

"All right, so what? What you want?"

Old woman:

"Don’t matter…because you ain’t going to do it."

Sidney:

"You damn right about that. Shit."

ーーーーーーーーーー

Sidney began to take a drag on his cigarette in her car.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Old woman:

"Hey, not in my car."

Sidney:

"Oh, my bad. My bad."

"This is your pad?"

"You don't want me to jack up your pretty curtains."

Old woman:

"Son of a bitch."

"I paid it forward for a hophead son of a bitch."

Sidney:

"You paid it what? I didn't hear that."

Old woman:

"I ain't going to tell you because your ass ain't good enough to touch it."

Sidney:

"Oh, my ass ain't good enough, huh?."

"Now you gonna tell me."

"You gonna tell me."

ーーーーーーーーーー

15.Vegas night date

Simonette and Arlene manage to arrange a date.

A scene where Arlene is late due to overtime and hastily prepares.

Trevor's unusual cheerfulness is so cute.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Arlene:

"They kept me 40 minutes over."

Trevor:

"Did you call him?"

Arlene:

"I couldn't remember the name of the restaurant."

"I remember the hotel."

Trevor:

"If you're late he thinks it means you don't respect him."

"Wear this."

Arlene:

"I want to wear the green dress."

Trevor:

"You look like a vampire in that."

Arlene:

"I got to take a shower."

"I smell horrible."

Trevor:

"What?."

ーーーーーーーーーー

Trevor deftly sprayed her armpits with scented spray.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Trevor:

"No, you don't! You smell good."

"You smell like roses or something."

Arlene:

"Let me just wash under my arms."

"Are you sure?"

Trevor:

"Yeah,I'm sure."

"Don't interrupt him in the middle of a sentence."

Arlene:

"Am I supposed to raise my hand?"

"Get me my shoes. Those sandals."

ーーーーーーーーーー

Trevor holds out her high heels.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Trevor:

"No, these."

Arlene:

"I'm not wearing those."

"They're too sexy."

Trevor:

"You're late. You owe him."

Arlene:

"I owe him? Who are you?"

Trevor:

"Go."

"No stupid jokes! He's not that kind of person."

Arlene:

"Thank you very much. Where's the phone?"

"I got to call for a cab."

"If I take a bus, I'll be another hour late."

Trevor:

"Stop yapping."

Arlene:

"I've got to call for a cab."

ーーーーーーーーーー

Trevor had already hailed a taxi and a t-taxi was waiting in front of the house.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Trevor:

"Done!"

Arlene:

"Oh, my God!"

"You're just about…"

"You're the greatest son in the world!"

Trevor:

"Okay, you have to go. Here, here."

"Go,go."

Arlene:

"I love you"

Trevor:

"I love you too, Mom."

ーーーーーーーーーー

It's a fun scene with Trevor's fast and lively tempo.

Simonette and Arlene go on a number of dates.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Simonette:

"Well, good night."

Arlene:

"Do you want to come in?"

"And stay?"

"Come in."

Simonette:

"Trevor's inside the house."

Arlene:

"Well, he sleeps like the dead."

Simonette:

"I don't want to make it any harder for you."

"You're supposed to wait a year."

"Isn't that what Bonnie said?"

Arlene:

"Okay."

ーーーーーーーーーー

The actress who plays Arlene is very good at creating facial expressions that bring out the other

person's story.

A look that shows she understands the other person, a look that shows she's impatient, and a look that shows she's holding back what she wants to say.

I think this kind of acting ability is ideal when it comes to conversations with people.

Helen Hunt is a great actress.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Simonette:

"I…can't…"

Arlene:

"I'm sorry."

Simonette:

"No. I don't mean I can't."

"It's just…"

Arlene:

"What?"

Simonette:

"This is complicated."

Arlene:

"I get it. it's okay to say you don't like me that way."

Simonette:

"Is that what you think it is?"

Arlene:

"It's okay."

Simonette:

"How could you ever think that?"

ーーーーーーーーーー

The two kiss, but Simonette walks away, perhaps because of complicated feelings about his past.

Arlene and Trevor's home on a hill in the suburbs of Las Vegas.

The night view that could be seen from there flickered gently like a candle.

16.Beyond the boundaries

Arlene wants to know what Simonette really thinks, so she shows up at his house.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Simonette:

"Who's there?"

Arlene:

"Do you look down on me?"

"I don't talk like you?"

"I haven't read the stuff you read."

Simonette:

"That's not pertinent, and you know it."

Arlene:

"Don't talk to me like that!"

Simonette:

"I'm sorry, but that's the way I talk."

"Words are all I have."

Arlene:

"Why?"

"Why, because you think you look like shit?"

"I don't care about your burns, if that's what they are."

"Is that what they are?"

Simonette:

"Yes."

Arlene:

"Okay, well, whatever happened to you, you look good to me."

Simonette:

"Well, you look good to me too."

Arlene:

"Okay, so?"

Simonette:

"So I've never been here before."

Arlene:

"Okay, so you're scared."

"I'm scared too."

"Listen, bad things have happened to me, okay?"

"I can't take my shirt off with a guy without five beers…"

"…but I want that with you."

"More than I'm scared, I want that."

Simonette:

"You don't see me"

"My life…My life is familiar. My life is…It's manageable."

"It's manageable. Every day."

"I have a thing I do every day."

"It's all I've ever known."

"And it's a routine and as long as I have that…"

"…as long as I have that, I'm okay."

"If I don't have it, I'm lost."

Arlene:

"So it that all you want?"

"Your goddamn manageable day?"

Simonette:

"It's what I have."

Arlene:

"It isn't."

"Is it what you want?"

Simonette:

"Yes!"

Arlene:

"I don't believe you."

ーーーーーーーーーー

Arlene then kissed Simonette.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Arlene:

"Okay. That's the best I got."

Simonette:

"It's not about you."

Arlene:

"Yes, it is!"

"Something's been offered to you here and you don't want it."

"Maybe you're scared to get rejected."

"I can't reject you."

"You're too quick for me."

ーーーーーーーーーー

Simonette is afraid of getting hurt so he puts up a barrier around herself.

He can't get in from the outside, but he can't get out from the inside either.

The moment Arlene touches the barrier, Simonette tries even harder to protect himself.

People always create battles like this.

This is because the idea that the best solution is to overcome the battles is pervasive.

It's not an interference with the other person.

They care about their feelings.

First, you'll throw it out and see.

Passive people will hold back here.

They suppress their feelings and return to their daily routine.

They're postponing the solution.

For their children, for their respectability, for their livelihood. In order not to destroy the

relationship.

Then they close the lid.

The cost will come to their body, their mind, and their child's emotions.

17.Courage to change

Trevor's friend Adam is being bullied by an upperclassman.

Trevor tried to stop them, but he was too scared to move.

Trevor crossed out the second person, Simonette, and the third person, Adam, in his notebook.

Symonette encourages Trevor, who is depressed.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Simonette:

"Trevor"

"You cut my class."

Trevor:

"It’s been four days."

Simonette:

"What's been four days?"

Trevor:

"Why haven't you called my mother?"

"It's been four days."

Simonette:

"I don't know."

Trevor:

"Neither does she."

ーーーーーーーーーー

Simonette senses Trevor's troubles.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Simonette:

"Hey, what's the matter?"

Trevor:

"Pay it Forward didn't work."

"I couldn't even do it."

"I was gonna help Adam."

Simonette:

"Help Adam do what?"

Trevor:

"Not get beat up."

"But I crapped out and I let him."

"I left him get beat."

Simonette:

"No. you didn't."

"You didn't let him get beat."

"It happened."

"Sometimes there's nothing we can do."

Trevor:

"It's not fair."

Simonette:

"I know."

Trevor:

"No. You don't know."

ーーーーーーーーーー

Trevor Connects himself and Simonet with 'courage'.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Trevor:

"You should call my mother."

"You could do something if you wanted."

"Why are you chicken?"

Simonette:

"I'm not a chicken."

Trevor:

"Something's gonna happen, then it'll be too late."

Simonette:

"What's gonna happen?"

"What's do you mean?"

Trevor:

"He'll come back."

Simonette:

"Who will come back?"

"Hey, who will come…?"

"Your dad?"

"Your dad will come back?"

"And…what will happen when he comes back, Trevor?"

"Will he hurt you?"

ーーーーーーーーーー

Trevor shook his head slightly.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Simonette:

"Will he hurt her?"

Trevor:

"Not if someone's there…instead of him."

Simonette:

"Trevor, it's…complicated for me now…"

Trevor:

"Is the world just shit?"

Simonette:

"No, it isn't."

"You did good work."

"Look at me. I'm proud of you, Trevor."

"I'm proud of you."

"And anyway, for what it's worth…"

"…I'm grading you on the effort, not the result."

Trevor:

"I don't care about the grade."

"I just wanted to see if the world would really change."

ーーーーーーーーーー

Simonette pondered the meaning of 'change'.

We understand that it requires 'preparation' and 'emotion'.

18.Saturday night and Sunday morning

Arlene cleans out the inside of her refrigerator and tries to change her lifestyle.

Simonette mustered up the courage to visit Arlene.

Arlene looked a little surprised, but welcomed Simonette with a smile.

And Arlene and Simonette spent the night together.

In the morning, Simonette and Trevor run into each other in the bathroom.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Simonette:

"Trevor!"

Trevor:

"It worked!"

Simonette:

"Oh, God."

ーーーーーーーーーー

Simonette hurriedly ran back to Arlene's room in his underwear.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Simonette:

"Does he always get up early?"

"He just saw me."

Arlene:

"It's okay."

ーーーーーーーーーー

How calm and reliable Arlene is!

ーーーーーーーーーー

Simonette:

"I'm his teacher."

ーーーーーーーーーー

Trevor says from outside the door.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Trevor:

"Now you have to Pay it Forward too."

"Eugene!"

Simonette:

"You should still call me Mr. Simonet."

ーーーーーーーーーー

Simonette panics and tries to go home.

Trevor is persistent.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Trevor:

"You had a sleepover."

Simonette:

"Go back to bed."

"It's too early and I get to get to school."

Trevor:

"No, it's a Sunday."

Simonette:

"It's a Sunday?"

Arlene:

"Yes."

ーーーーーーーーーー

Arlene nods with a satisfied expression.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Trevor:

"Stay. Mom will make breakfast."

Simonette:

"I have a schedule that you don't know about every Sunday."

"Will you take care of him?."

"Arlene, I'll call you later."

Trevor:

"Don't be a stranger!"

ーーーーーーーーーー

Arlene covers Trevor's mouth when he gets excited.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Trevor:

"You like him?"

ーーーーーーーーーー

The way Trevor clings to the bear is so cute.

19.Bridge

As Jerry was walking along a large overpass, he saw a well-dressed woman about to jump off the bridge.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Jerry:

"Lady como on."

Suicidal woman:

"Go away."

ーーーーーーーーーー

The woman said through tears.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Jerry:

"I'm not going to hurt you, lady."

ーーーーーーーーーー

The woman throws her bag onto Jerry and tries to jump from another spot.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Suicidal woman:

"Here, take it."

Jerry:

"It's a nice thought but it's not what I want."

ーーーーーーーーーー

The woman climbed onto the railing of the bridge and tried to jump off.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Jerry:

"What are you doing?"

"I'm not going to hurt you!."

"Oh, my God. Listen to me."

"Nothing's this important."

"Come down here."

"What are you doing?"

Suicidal woman:

"What do you care anyway?"

Jerry:

"Because I owe somebody a favor."

Suicidal woman:

"Not, me."

Jerry:

"Why not you?"

"You know, a minute ago…''

"…all I could think about was getting my next fix."

"And then I saw you and I changed my thinking."

Suicidal woman:

"Oh, please. Go away."

"Trust me. I'm not worth it."

Jerry:

"Why is that?"

Suicidal woman:

"For God's sake."

Jerry:

"Come on, tell me."

"Why are you not worth it?"

Suicidal woman:

"Trust me. You wouldn't understand."

Jerry:

"Are you kidding me?"

"You think I live at the Ritz?"

"Have a cup of coffee with me."

Suicidal woman:

"What?"

ーーーーーーーーーー

Jerry remembers Arlene inviting him out for coffee.

He was very happy.

Jerry says to the woman, jumping up and down with his best playful face.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Jerry:

"Let's have coffee with me!"

ーーーーーーーーーー

Then, the woman saw Jerry's smiling face, and even though she was crying, she burst into

laughter.

People can laugh while crying.

We can laugh while being sad.

I think it's the most beautiful moment when a person changes from sadness to smile.

When laughter is poured into a person, sadness disappears and one begins to accept sadness itself again.

It is a mysterious, instantaneous change, like the image of a leaf emerging from a seed, or like a pupa at the moment it emerges.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Jerry:

"Do me a favor."

"Save my life."

ーーーーーーーーーー

Jerry's hand reaches out to help a woman get off the railing.

His thumb nails were caked with car oil.

Although it was a dirty hand, to the woman it was a clean and holy hand.

Domestic ship meme: Helion. GO

domestic ll accepting.

tiny scary goth queen / big buff cheeto puff

Who’s more dominant: Outside of the bedroom, just as a general personality trait, Hel is. Destruction was a ruler longer, but he’s also very chill, where Hel is able to put her foot down. Sexually… Unpopular opinion: Destruction is a sub. Hel is also a sub. There have been evenings where they flip a coin to see who has to be a switch.

Who’s the cuddler: Hel. She would be wrapped around Destruction 24/7 if they were able.

Who’s the big spoon/little spoon: Hel tried to be big spoon at first, but Destruction is too solidly built. There is no dorito waist for her to wrap her arms around. Instead, Destruction gets to be big spoon, and likes to cuddle up close to Hel while they sleep – which pisses her off a lot of mornings as time goes on, because he is a very deep sleeper while she’s an early riser. So she’s entangled in his massive arms as he snoozes away and she wants to start the day. There’s a reason she keeps a book on her nightstand wherever they go.

What’s their favorite non-sexual activity: Adventuring! The pair love to just pick a destination and go, whether they make a day trip of it or an actual holiday. Destruction is very interested in showing Hel all the beauty the galaxy has to offer, and she is devoted to showing him her favorite places on Midgard and slowly reeling him back down from his absconding to the stars.

Who uses all the hot water: Hel. Her baths are notoriously long, and Destruction has started joining her for them just to get some kind of comfort in his life. Cold showers benefit neither of them, but you cannot convince her highness of that.

Most trivial thing they fight over: Iambic pentameter. Sometimes, it’s like Morpheus never left, or so Destruction snarks when Hel proofreads his work. It is this comparison to his worst brother that will set Hel off every time. All of this over Hel critiquing one of his poems.

Who does most of the cleaning: Destruction, at least until Hel gets into the hang of it. She’s always been tidy, but with the trade off that she’s also always had servants on hand. Plus I mean who better at getting rid of messes and dust than a literal embodiment of Destruction? Shit is effectively going to be nuked from orbit.

What has a season pass on their dvr/Who controls the netflix queue: Destruction. He always finds the neatest documentaries or indie movies that they can cuddle up and watch when they have some downtime.

Who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working: Hel, lest Destruction make the issue worse by trying to play handyman. It’s a race to get the super called before Destruction can get started ‘fixing’ the heater. She usually sounds like someone calling 911 – soft, panicked ‘The heater’s gone you need to get over here before he finds the toolbox–’

Who leaves their stuff around: Neither really? Destruction is a bit less focused, though, so he might put something down to come back to later. It’s still not technically leaving it around, though, as he does actually come back to it pretty quickly in most cases.

Who remembers to buy the milk: Destruction. Hel had servants all her life. I need to reiterate that here because it’s the only weak excuse she has to stand on for how clueless she is when it comes to shopping, sometimes.

Who remembers anniversaries: Hel. Not by any fault of Destruction’s though -- I imagine once you hit his age, years fly by like seconds. It can be hard for him to realize the ebb and flow of his father’s domain, and Hel has the upper hand there. Even as old as she is, time still holds some sway over her. Her little brothers have saved his ass multiple times during more modern eras by setting up phone reminders for him.

Who cooks normally: Destruction. Always Destruction. Hel actually appreciates his food, unlike some siblings, and for this he’s eternally grateful. This is also on account of Hel being a downright lethal chef, and even the physical embodiment of entropy has been staggered by something as impossible to fuck up as her chicken soup in the past.

How often do they fight: Rarely-ish? I mean, they’re both rather chill at heart, and both of them have rather cold natures when it comes to anger. It’d have to be something major for them to have a row, like an honest to God fight -- flyting is not actually arguing, even if Destruction totally started it by comparing her to Morpheus.

What do they do when they’re away from each other: Hel runs her realm and plays her politics, he dedicates himself to his art and his travels. She’s the loyal homebody, he’s the vagabond bohemian.

Nicknames for each other: She calls him soft, loving names that highlight his desire to separate himself from his function -- My Lamb, My Poet, My Wanderer. Destruction, on the other hand, is the embodiment of the “I use hun not hon because you are not my honey, you are my fierce warrior” text post. Empower the lady. Let her know she is the baddest.

Who is more likely to pay for dinner: Destruction. Not out of any misguided sense of chivalry, but because Helheim is broke and Hel has like... 0 money on her own. It’s a necessity.

Who steals the covers at night: Hel. She gets cold, ok? Destruction has no idea how that is possible since he’s basically a personal heater, but you do you, Hel.

What would they get each other for gifts: Hel gives Destruction anything that furthers his interests in the arts -- fine canvases, arrays of paint, a quiet studio wherever they settle. Alternatively, she’ll give him something to do with his interest in travel, be it guidebooks, old or current maps, star charts.. This often influences what Hel herself receives, usually any of his hideous quirky art pieces, or a souvenir or curiosity from his travels. Perhaps not the most exciting method of gift giving, as a quid pro quo arrangement, but they like it.

Who kissed who first: Destruction. He looked at her all excited and bright-eyed about something on one of their rendezvous in other worlds, and decided she was simply the most kissable woman he had ever seen. So he caught her mouth as stars flared overhead, and he froze her to the spot, and that was that.

Who made the first move: In hindsight, Destruction, even if neither of them realized it. He was the one who invited her out of Eljudnir to go exploring with him, which led to their repeated meet-ups whenever he was in her plane of reality, and eventually they both started to realize those were dates.

Who remembers things: Destruction, so long as it’s not an anniversary. Mind like a steel trap, that one -- though Hel’s memory is almost as long, and her grasp can be far tighter when slighted.

Who started the relationship: Again, Destruction. He did a lot of the pursuing while Hel was still nervously convinced that she was fundamentally unlovable, at least by a man of his standing and frankly gorgeous appearance. She resigned herself to unrequited love wrapped up in friendship where he was equally as smitten and failed to alert her of this for some time.

Who cusses more: Neither? They’re both relatively clean mouthed. Destruction is far more likely to drop a minor curse here and there, though.

What would they do if the other one was hurt: Destruction would automatically ensure Hel is ok, then launch an offensive against whoever dared to hurt her in any way. He’s been more than willing to throw down with Odin himself over past slights against Hel, so gods help whoever tries to have a go at her after he enters the picture. Hel, by contrast, is less a fighter and more a caretaker, and her first and only priority would be defending her lover and seeing to his well-being.

Who is the dirty talker: Destruction tries, but bless him, he’s a little too boisterous. His voice and overall range is not suited to it. More often than not, he ends up giving his partner the giggles. Hel, meanwhile, learns how to master the art, and can make Destruction putty in her hands. Her voice ends up his kink once she takes on that ‘bedroom tone.’ I blame Hel like 100% for every encounter that led to them making babies -- it didn’t start with a kiss, it started with Hel muttering in her darling’s ear and playing him like a fiddle.

A head canon: Just as Destruction helps Hel work through her deep emotional trauma and her unhealthy repression tactics to get her to a healthier frame of mind, Hel starts Destruction down the path of healing his own emotional issues. Namely, the fact he wore himself out with his family and worked so hard to be the caretaker, and how it took so much out of him. They give as good as they get to help support each other on a road to recovery.
