ANALYSIS : [ REDACTED ] and Their Selves Within the Forms of Love

When [ REDACTED ] said , ❝ I am not afraid to ruin and be ruined for love . ❞ When xe said , ❝ Love is the most softest form of violence and so am I , as nothing about me ever truly means gentleness . ❞ When xe said , ❝ When I love , I always love in ways the Universe loves the Void : Fondly , terribly , endlessly , I love you , I love you , I love you , I love , I — ❞ When xe said , ❝ I can and will love a ghost even with all of their echoes of agony . ❞ When xe said , ❝ I am always suffering for love [ . . . ] I am always dying from love . ❞

What is LOVE ? Love is WHAT . While love itself can be found in everything and everyone and everywhere , as a form of affection or violence or both , either xe knows and remembers it all or not at all — [ REDACTED ] IS ( U N ) L O V E .

IN SPECIFIC FORMS OF LOVE GENERALLY KNOWN IN THE MULTIVERSE : — AS ACCORDING TO THE QUIZ ITSELF //

I . LOVE IN A FORM OF BEING KNOWN : They may love by trying to learn and memorize and remember everything about the individual , even the smallest things , things that the individual can find them meaningless to the world . They may love adoring and appreciating the individual even when either of their hands are quivering with blood , body covered with fresh wounds . They may love despite everything that occurs to the individual and from them , that occurs to [ redacted ] themselves from them . They can love when making steady eye contacts with the individual when speaking or listening to them , gifting the individual with things based on the their likes and interests , adoring and appreciating and comforting the individual in ways they know they want and need . They are love as a reflection , as a forehead against forehead , as a reminder that you are loved , always .

II . LOVE IN A FORM OF TENDERNESS : They may love by giving kisses and hugs to the individual over anything and everything , as well as holding their hand through all light and darkness . They may love by providing the individual the most softest words and gentlest gestures , even if either the individual is in denial or accepting about themself . They may love by giggling and smiling often at the individual in endless adoration . They can love when cupping the individual’s face and telling them everything will be okay , tracing along the scars on the individual’s skin as to appreciate them even with all of their mistakes , resting their hand on the individual’s chest and feel it beat in ease beneath the fingertips . They are love as a soft smile and softer gaze , as a laughter in wonder against skin , as a saying that you can be held too .

III . LOVE IN A FORM OF A CHOICE : They may love by choosing the individual over everyone else regardless of anything . They may love by taking on a path that leads to the individual , either they are aware of the fact or not . They may love by making the individual a part of their life because they want to and not because they have to . They can love when placing themself between the individual and the danger , kissing them with all of the love and care at a certain time and place , giving their heart to the individual as trust is mutual , all and always . They are love as a promise quietly made in past dead midnight , as a rebellion against fate itself , as an assurance that you are here meant to be loved .

IV . LOVE IN A FORM OF VIOLENCE : They may love by giving bites and scratch marks to the individual over anything and everything , wanting them to be reminded that [ redacted ] exist and real just as they are too . They may love by making teases and snarky comments , yet while admiration is hidden deep beneath sarcasm and annoyance . They may love by grinning at the individual’s little misfortunate and laughing in pride as they conquer over their struggles . They can love when killing the one who had hurt the individual without a hesitation , leaving a deep mark on the individual’s heart as a warning to only love them from afar ) , becoming the individual’s slaughterer of the stars and storms , with their mouth covered with the blood of [ redacted ] ( or someone else’s ? ) . They are love as being held while bloody and torn , as a knife pressing against throat , as an action that can ruin you entirely .

V . LOVE IN A FORM OF RELIGION : There is no they and them and their in this part , just you and I . God says to love one and another , but I want to love in my own sayings and doings . I do love you because I say so , never because of God saying that I should . I love you as you are my brightest sky , as you are my greatest sea , my world and galaxy and more . I am rarely a religious being , but sometimes , just sometimes , I believe in the idea that God had made me so we can at least meet each other . I love you , I am glad I exist . I love you , I am happy to have known you at least one time . I love you , I love you , I love you . I will promise , I will know , I will remember this and , too , us .
