I know I’m probably late to the party, but I finally heard Hozier’s “Eat Your Young” and I can’t stop listening to it and imagining Thuul and Nora and all the silent hesitation and longing he held in for months after they met each other.
I actually almost cried when I sat down to talk about their story with my partner.
And every single time I hear that opening line now, I picture him, keeping watch at night, alone by the fire, stealing glances at her and wondering why she’s so kind to him all the time when he can only see himself as this twisted, violent, angry, used up thing. And watching her while they traveled, and seeing her in the sunlight, and thinking that she is the sunlight in his life, the warmth and the laughter, and the joy that he was missing.
“I’m starving, darling.”
He started to call her darling because it made her blush and when he saw her pink cheeks and heard her giggle, he said it felt like his heart would burst from his chest.
“Let me put my lips to something.”
The first time he kissed her hands, she had just brought him back from the brink of death, and when he opened his eyes she was holding him so tightly, her arms shaking, tears streaming down her face because she was so afraid to lose him. That had been a pretty tense session for both of us, because I legit thought he was gonna fail his death saves before I could get to him and he was gonna be rolling up a new character. And it would have been absolutely devastating for her if he died on her watch. Not just because it would have been the first time, but just because it was him, and he was already special to her.
“Let me wrap my teeth around the world.”
Thuul sees the world through the eyes of someone who has been treated very harshly by it. It’s dangerous, it’s merciless, it’s full of people who want to hurt you, use you, buy you, sell you, and he will absolutely fight it to keep her safe. It didn’t take him long to come to this conclusion, but as soon as he did, he was in it 100%. Full dedication, no matter the cost.
I know this is like, the nichest of niche content that I could possibly be posting about, but...Y’ALL
Girl help! The blorbos from my table are consuming my life!
