#so I can bend canon a bit ... for Heathlock to be real /lh

Oh!!! if u don’t rlly like Cathy (i like her and criticize her but like… I can see why esp in the original contexts of the Book you wouldn’t and that’s perfectly valid!) there are versions of it that are just Heathcliff’s sections i think? so that way you can still enjoy it without having the parts ur not so comfortable with.

Also for the melatonin post i totally think Heathcliff would do that. He seems the type to let his loved ones cuddle him to sleep,,, he prob also would sleep easier with Sherry cus I mean, she makes him feel comfortable and happy and she’s safe in his arms -🕯️

Yeah, I'm really not a Catherine fan--part of it is jealousy, but part of it is I really don't like how she wants to make Heathcliff "a better person," implying he needs to change for her ... it just rubs me the wrong way. I know the lyrics of "Through Patches of Violet" counter that, a bit, but it doesn't sit right with me, is all. That said, I do like her for what she brings to the story and Heathcliff's character!! I just don't exactly agree with how she went about things. She's one of those characters I like, but purely for what she adds to the plot--not so much as a person. So, I suppose I enjoy her while being critical, like you do!

I know the Erlking bosses in the new MD only play the Heathcliff portions of the song, so that's why I prefer listening to it there ... the fight isn't too bad, either. I get to see two Heathcliffs on screen, after all!

And yeah!! I've always seen Heathcliff as physically affectionate--Sherry isn't, really (since she's Sherlock Holmes, so her relationship with affection and romance is complicated), but she makes exceptions for him. I do take certain things from the book when talking about him, so I think you're right about Sherry helping him sleep better ... since his counterpart has really bad sleeping problems. But also it makes me worry about him napping all the time in Limbus, because of it ... I know he's been a napper since before Canto VI, but I can't help but worry about him, with the literary context.
