"...the opening line of a poem, [Paul Valéry] said, is like finding a fruit on the ground, a piece of fallen fruit you have never seen before, and the poet's task is to create the tree from which such a fruit would fall."

angst/fluff chreon for you:
leon having people to be vulnerable with. he feels safe, comfortable.
and he gets so so so excited, that's he's talking chris' fuckin ear off. until he has a moment when he realizes he's been talking for awhile. and he slows down. visibly embarrassed.
he's happy, he's smiling, and he feels so fucking guilty about it. what about all the people who were dead? who lost their loved ones? living in terror every day? does chris really give a shit about something so mundane and pointless? he's annoying, isn't he? it's best to just shut up and go back to what he's made to do. just be a good little lap dog and keep killing the bad guys.
anyways when he goes quiet and apologizes, ready to slip out of chris' place and just fuckin bury himself alive, chris squeezes the shit out of him.
"hey, if you think you're annoying me, you're not. you can talk until my ears bleed, but at least i'll know you're alive."
cue leon ugly crying and telling chris he'll smother him in his sleep if he tells anyone. (it's the ugly crying he's mainly worried about (he's afraid that he'll come across as too needy) - and anything that can compromise a future mission by exploiting his darkest parts.)

I’m very fascinated by the “boy accidentally diagnoses girl with Mother Syndrome” trope but I’ve only seen it done twice before so if anyone has any similar examples I’d love to hear about them 🫶

I’m currently watching Death Note and like… in episode 5 “Tactics” there’s an FBI agent working in Japan to help find Kira and all of the names of the FBI agents shown is like looking at something from the uncanny valley, because all of the names are something so close to an American name, but they’re all just a little bit off and it’s super weird
Some of the names shown are:
•Lian Zapack
•Arire Weekwood
•Raye Penber
