i think ppl stereotypicall think that violence cannot also be an act of love because love is like a 'good' and 'pure' thing and therefore cannot be synonymous with violence @thebubbledragon

One of my best friends sent me this while talking about a book trilogy they had just finished reading. (The Green Bone Saga for the curious.) It's become one of those things that twists and turns in my mind. It's this call that I feel like I need to write a response for. My hearts sings out with something that my mind and fingers can't quite capture yet.

I sat down earlier trying to turn a variation of "violence as an act of love" into prose. What I wanted was that to be my drum beat. Something where I dove into it with that as the singular repeating line while each paragraph answered it. Those words are still stuck as sounds and feelings.

It touched me because I write so many things where acts of violence serve as acts of love and respect and acknowledgement. Hell, sometimes it's born from a tangled sense of compassion. Between my favorite ships and settings and tropes it melds in so perfectly. So many of my characters when cornered go, "I love you so much I'll fight for you. I'll take your place. I'll bleed for you without flinching."

The greatest acts of violence Solus carries out with the Force (and many outside) have been born of love. She respects loves a man so much they tear chunks out of each other on Concordia. Their blood splatters seems into the ground because this is as much a dance as the night before was. As their meeting had been with turns of phrase and looks and assurances half given. She loves Mandalore so much she burns parts of the Jedi Order and Republic Spy Networks. "Let them know what it feels like to have Outsiders invade their home." She breaks a friend's arm in three places as a village burns around them because she'll suffer no disrespect to her family. A man nearly two feet taller than her was tackled from a balcony as a distraction, as a show of prowess. All of the finesse of the Force, of her lightsabers (the gifted kyber burning orange), of most of her training as a warrior in favor of a brutality fueled by love. Him and his brother were endangering her family, defiling her home, and it would stop. Later when Inquisitors caught her and her family her riduur died; he died knowing he couldn't win but he could buy his two riduurs and their children time to escape. She dug so deep into the Force a shockwave echoed seemingly across the time and space. Them and their forces died because would lay waste to everything to protect her children, her family, her home. There's so much more drawing from her and her love that appears as violence. Later, she juggles the world for her riduur as she works to take their home again and again. She's guide and advisor and assassin and the rock to build upon.

Nico Bright loves Claire Redfield so much she ingests a variant of t-virus to save her. Her body bleeds antibodies because fate is fickle. It doesn't change but it hurts. Later she fights a man with decades of experience over her and wins. (A shotgun is a great equilizer.) There's blood and broken bones and bruising on her end. Her own life was in danger and that fuels her. But, even more so was he hurt people she loves. It's an act she'll never be able to undo, what he did to them and countless others, but she can stop it from happening again. It ends here and it ends now and it ends with her almost hyperventilating body thrown so deep into this she becomes calm. She protects civilians (a title she no longer views for herself) with a calm tone and good leadership and acts of violence. Because it keeps them safe from the zombies outside their little SUV. So many of her brushes with bioterrorism are born from this unyielding love for humanity and others even if it almost breaks her.

There's so many more; Alijah Kastor who hunts people who could kill her with her hands tied behind her back, Lumi Kirrin bathed in blood from such a young age to defend the basic rights of others, Jazari Naaji who acts for love and family no matter the personal cost, Vren Avitus who makes herself in a guide and assassin and solider to save her sister and her loves, Fe Cataegis who has a panic attack so intense she throws up because she hates travel by water but this fight needs her more. Sosha Soruna is canon but she helps reclaim a home that is not her own wearing none of the trappings of those around her; it's violence in the act of love because this is Jila's Home and she wants her girlfriend happy.

There's just something so twisting in violence as an act of love that calls out. It's the answer to the question of "What would you do for those you love?" with a defeaning, "Anything."

[chocobothis]

Given the choice, would your OC prefer to be loved or feared by others?

(for any)

Resident Evil

Nico Bright: Loved. At the end of the day she wants the world to be better. That's not going to happen if people only respect her because they're scared of her. It's not real respect.

Javi Reyes: Loved. He's just a really easygoing, charming guy. You get more flies with honey and all.

Atanasija Kralj: Feared. She doesn't have to doubt feared. Love can change to hate in the blink of an eye. People who are afraid are predictable; either they're obey or rise up. And she wants people to know she's a reckoning acoming.

FFXV

Vren Avitus: Loved. Everything about her is built upward from this selfless understanding of others. She's lived in fear and doesn't want others to do that.

Fe Cataegis: Feared. She's a medic because she wants to help people and that doesn't change. But, fear gets shit done faster some days. She wants whoever is against her to be afraid of crossing her. If they're too afraid to touch what's hers then they can be helped.

my very suited to my own personal tastes OC ask meme

[chocobothis]

How comfortable is your OC around those who are politically or socially powerful? Do they make a point of being especially deferent? Are they interested (or particularly capable) in playing the social game by being obsequious to their "betters"?

Resident Evil

Nico Bright: Honestly, Nico hates having to deal with politicians or well-to-do benefactors. Almost all of them are snakes in the grass ready to fuck over people and TerraSave if they don't do the right song and dance. The idea that some people get to have that much power because of their bank accounts or who they know sickens her. Starting out, she acted a bit deferent because she didn't have any real power to her name. Once she had some stories and awards that changed. Now, she ruffles feathers when the fights are worth it. Due to her own skills and connections she's got, or can get, dirt on a bunch of people on Capitol Hill. Otherwise, she knows her rights to the letter and the spirit and will make senatorial lives nightmares. They may have set up the pieces but she'll show them how to really play the game.

Javi Reyes: He does everything in his power to avoid being near that sort. Even with his family’s status (doctor father, who did Doctors Without Borders, and LPN Mother) they made certain all of their children understood no one was better than anyone else. You treat the janitor with the same dignity and respect you would treat a CEO. He’s very charming so he tends to get by on that rather than deferring to others. But, if push comes to shove then he can blow smoke up someone’s ass to make the interaction pass faster. He absolutely makes fun of them after the fact though.

Atanasija Kralj: No one in their right mind lets her near the socially and/or politically powerful. She will fucking maul them. Being the orphaned daughter of rebels who were straight up assassinated (they believed in a Free, Self-Governing Edonia) makes her unfond of this sort. The fact her older, half-sister is full of reworded classism and some eugenic-y ideas doubles down on the loathing. She ultimately sucks at the delicacies of the social game because she’s not delicate about it. Talk shit, get hit. Funnily enough she does use proper titles during all of this.

-

FFXV

Vren Avitus: She has the unique perspective of having been on both sides of the equation. Starting out, she’s a little Galahdian immigrant to Insomnia. Everyone born there expects her to understand she’s utterly beneath them for being Not Lucian. (She repeatedly points out Galahd only joined the Kingdom of Lucis about 500 years ago by force; so she’s technically Lucian too.) When she becomes engaged to a future count, things sort of kick off the ass-kissing. It also kicks off her being reminded that they’re her betters. Marrying Noctis and becoming Queen suddenly has everyone trying to kiss her ass, which she hates. Saying pretty lies doesn’t make her forget what they were like when they perceived her as powerless. She’s very, very good at the social game but less in only doing it by deferring to others. Her preference is playing stupid so people stop holding their tongues around her.

Fe Cataegis: No part of Fe was ever meant to kiss Insomnian ass. She has zero problems with verbally putting someone in their place. They can play backhanded compliments all they want (because she’s smoking hot and knows it) but it doesn’t work. Fuck them and the chocobo they rode in. She’s aware of her worth and it’s not getting increased by playing less than. The fact she’s the head medic of the Kingsglaive gives her room to be an “ice cold bitch” with very minimal repercussions. Yeah, they can kick her out but guess who also heals up a bunch of the Crownsguard regularly? It’s her. If absolutely pressed she can play the social game. She tends to lean toward being intimidatingly beautiful and cold to make people want to appeal to her.

🧠 👃 💐 for the OC of your choice

🧠 : What is your OC’s most mentally attractive attribute?

Vren is someone who is truly understanding. Sometimes she capable of inferring what people are thinking and/or feeling based on the circumstances around them. If not, she is also willing to ask. She wants to know what's up someone because it becomes her way to help. It extends to not just "good" people but to the "bad" ones and enemies as well. Part of working together to survive means seeing all sides. Make no mistake she doesn't let her understanding turn her into a pushover or excuse bad behavior but she Understands and offers the chance to change. It's a trait that helps her organize and lead Lestallum during the Long Night and what makes her an excellent Queen of Lucis.

👃 : Does your OC smell good? Do they have a signature scent?

She typically smells like ozone (from her lightning magic), cooking spices, leather oil, and sweet almond oil. When she was younger it was mechanics soap instead of ozone in the mix. When she wears fragrances she prefers something woodsy and very masculine.

💐 : What is their courting style? How would they woo someone?

Her courting style, when she reaches that point, is very straight forward. She tends to say what's on her mind, something someone who she would be courting knows, so there's not really a lot doubt. There are feelings on her end, she would enjoy experimenting with them, and it's up to the other person now. As for wooing, she's all about cooking for people and handmade gifts.

[chocobothis]

Does your OC have a notable respect for their elders? Do they believe that older people have the wisdom of experience? Or do they tend to think that older people have just had longer for their stupidity to become ingrained?

Resident Evil

Nico Bright: Growing up, she was very respectful of her elders because that’s just part of culture. You respect your elders or else. It was those Southern Manners hard at work. Now she takes what she hears with a shaker of salt. Yeah, there’s people who have wisdom of experience and they share it. There’s also a ton of people spewing the stupidest shit known to man as fact. Making it to an old age is as much luck as anything else. Then getting to be around Politicians and Rich People, most tending to be toward elder age, just cemented that actually these people are stupid, selfish cunts. Now she gives basic respect but anything deeper comes from them proving it.

Javi Reyes: He’s a former Catholic Boy from Colombia; Respect Your Elders was ingrained in him from conception. Between the ongoing bioterrorism trauma and living in America…he’s gotten fantastic at questioning his elders, superiors, and really everyone and thing. He listens to people like Chris, Barry, Carlos, and Jill, who all have first hand experience fighting BOWs, but with the others it's a mountain of salt. Yeah, that's what the protocol says but is this feasible in the field? Other people are really just pickled in their stupidity.

Atanasija Kralj: Well, it was a bunch of old politicians who basically signed Edonia over to the Soviets…so there’s been some deep dislike there from the get-go. A long life doesn’t mean a good or kind life. It just means they got lucky at not dying sooner. Now, there are people she does respect absolutely but they’ve all proven themselves first. There’s no blind belief or respect from her, well ever.

-

FFXV

Vren Avitus: She’s a darling who offers everyone respect because that’s what you do. There’s no extra special respect for her Elders versus those in her age bracket. It got her in trouble a lot growing up. Because some people think they deserve absolute obedience as “respect” since they’re older. When she’s older it works in her favor because that level of equal fairness and understanding makes people trust her. Some people are very older and very wise from it; Cid Sophiar for example. Others are very old and full of rancid ideas; Mors Lucis Caelum, Somnus Lucis Caelum, etc.

Fe Cataegis: Her Granny spent a long time coaxing her into at least pretending to be respectful to her elders. This was part of a bigger problem where she tended to be disrespectful right out the gate if the other person was. So, it wasn’t really an Elder Problem as much as a “Everyone Problem”. Prodigious combat medic skills or not, she wouldn’t get to do jack if she didn’t get better bedside manner. It got fixed enough but privately she thinks a lot of old people just let the stupid freeze over. They could better themselves but choose not to.

[chocobothis]

The thing about writing the Kingsglaive/my Glaive OCs, Noctis, and Ignis is really just how much of varying types of disabilities I get to write.

Noctis canonically has depression, PTSD, and chronic fatigue syndrome; his knee and back never fully recovered from the daemon attack of his childhood. Ignis is heavily scarred and blind in Verse 1 (and just heavily scarred in Verse 2). All of the Glaives have PTSD because how could they not. Nyx is so visibly depressed it hurts. Libertus dealt with an addiction to painkillers in the movie. There's so much going on.

Vren broke the same leg three times in a battle and had it medically broke a fourth to reset it properly; it pains her from then on out. She's had part of her ribs sliced into by a daemon's katana along with a solid line down her torso. Those will never go away. At 18, she gets kneecapped so hard in Altissia she's more or less in a wheel chair for months after. So much magic moved through her she compared it to being unmade then remade again; she put on such a lightning storm in grief and pain and angry it looked like Ramuh himself was there. Then she does it again at the end of the World of Ruin; and it takes her out just the same. Not to mention she's on the spectrum, is full of PTSD from even before being a Glaive, and is clinically depressed and anxious.

Fe's nonverbal a lot of the times (she's verbal for work) and tends to sign or use texts/written words. It's unsure if it was something present from birth or from drowning when she washed up on the shores or Galahd as a toddler. The traumatic brain injury that follows leaves her no memory of the first three years of her life. She has no idea who she was before Galahd or even who was traveling with her. That drowning leaves her with such crippling aquaphobia the one time she has to take a boat she has a panic attack while crying and throwing up the duration they're on water. Her back is mottled with scars from shrapnel in the field where when all else fails she throws herself over her patients as a shield. One leg has intermittent burn scars from ankle to thigh from fighting a wraith; it's bone clubs crushed some of her bones too. There's so much PTSD from being a medic in some capacity since she was 12 and a full resistance soldier since 16. Becoming a Glaive just gave her magic to heal with instead of potions and sutures; the horrors weren't much different.

And all of them keep going no matter what because they can't give up, no matter how hard it is. Because they've not come this far to only come this far.

5 OTP Songs

I was tagged by @aceghosts and @whateverthefuckyouwantiguess to share five songs for my OTPS. Since I saw other people including lyrics I’m absolutely jumping on that part too. Because I am nothing if not a giant fucking sap. I’m doing four ships including breaking down some polyships into smaller parts.

Tagging: @thebisexualmandalorian, @thebubbledragon, @heavensong, @thuriweaver and anyone else who wants to do this! Seriously, anyone not tagged that wants to jump in please do so. Because I adore OTPs and songs about them.

Y’all don’t know this but you are so proud this isn’t like 50%+ Taylor Swift.

PelnaVren (Pelna Khara x Vren Avitus)

(They’re my darlings from FFXV, my fandom before Resident Evil took over, and I am forever going to be in love with how in love they are. Literally, he’s Vren’s very first love so there’s such a sweetness to it no matter how many years pass. He calls her “Sunflower” as a pet name. Vren’s so much light that flowers may as well grow toward her. It’s at odds with someone born only “half-alive”. Her strongest type of magic is also lightning.)

Sunflower, Vol. 6 - Molly Tuttle

Sunflower, my eyes want you more than a melody

Let me inside, wish I could get to know you

Sunflowers sometimes keep it sweet in your memory

I was just tongue-tied

-

Wondering headshake, tired eyes are the death of me

Mouthful of toothpaste before I got to know you

Line By Line (feat. Karen Morris)

Love's too big for a love song

If I tried to sum it up I know I'd get it wrong

-

Four chords, three minutes, you'd never fit in it

So I just take you line by line

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I'll be writing about you for the rest of my life

-

Like I'm still not convinced that I won't be too much for you someday

Ready To Love -KSHMR

I hope this will last forever

You are more than just a phase

Your smile brings me out the darkness

You are all I need tonight

-

Flowers hanging in the window

Match the color of your eyes

Dancing in a ball of fire

Each move with no compromise

I can't live the same without you

Your heart makes me come alive

You bring joy through all the sadness

Let's not do it unless it's done right

Favorite T-Shirt (Acoustic) - Jake Scott

I been sittin' here tryna figure out

What did I do right to be with you right now?

-

You were kissin' my neck, you were makin' me nervous

And none of our friends would believe it

You were puttin' your hands up under my shirt

Makin' fun of the way I was breathin'

-

And you look so good it hurts

In my favorite T-shirt

Electric Love - Paravi

Baby, you're like lightning in a bottle

I can't let you go now that I got it

All I need is to be struck (Oh)

By your electric love

Brightfield (Claire Redfield x Nico Bright)

(When Nico was younger Claire saved her from a zombie; Nico had survived everything up until that final one. It wasn’t a special zombie, just a generic human one, at the edge of the camp zone but she was so tired that when she fell, she thought that was it. Nico was in love with her a little then but didn’t figure that out until several years later. Her flipping love into a religious/holy experience is trying to rewrite the religious traumas of her youth; the fire and brimestone and homophobia that told her she’d go to hell for loving a woman. There was some agonizing on Claire’s part before they got together because Age Gap. But, then it ended up being so, so worthy.)

Haunt You (feat. chloe moriondo) - X Lovers, chloe moriondo

Loved you from the first time that I saw you

In the kitchen with your hair under a baseball cap

Couldn't find the words to say one single thing

Oh, I never knew someone could make me fall like that

-

Now I can't picture my lifе

Without you by my side

Can't let you go

I'll nevеr let you go

Cherry - FLETCHER, Hayley Kiyoko

And your voice real low when you talking to me

You're saying something and I'm thinking one thing

Your lips when you bite 'em like this

And I'm blushing real hard, got me moving my hips

You're across from me and it's hard to breathe

-

You're such a dream, I'm dying to see

Oh, if it's real, if it's sweet, if you taste just like a

Cherry

Bubbly - Colbie Caillet

I've been awake for a while now

You've got me feelin' like a child now

'Cause every time I see your bubbly face

-

The rain is falling on my window pane

But we are hiding in a safer place

Under covers staying dry and warm

You give me feelings that I adore

-

It starts in my soul

And I lose all control

When you kiss my nose

The feeling shows

'Cause you make me smile

Baby, just take your time

Now holdin' me tight

religion (u can lay your hands on me) - Shura

We've been talking on the telephone for hours at night

Whilst I've been thinking about kissing you

I wanna consecrate your body, turn the water to wine

-

It could be LA, it could be Heaven

If you're an angel, can I be your God?

You in all your glory, it's not confession

Baby, don't apologize

Fall Into Me - Forest Blakk

The day that I met you

The world had just spit me out

On my way to the bottom

Sure I'd never be found

-

Fall into me

And I'll catch you, darlin'

We'll dance in the street

Like nobody's watching

It's just you and me

-

I'd fall for you twice

If that's what you wanted

I'd give you my lifе

From now till forever

I'm falling in love with you

Ovеr and over again

Cleonight (Claire Redfield x Leon Kennedy x Nico Bright)

(They were independently together with each other before Claire was the one to go, “Hey, we’re already all dating each other...what if we just all dated as a unit?” Because the other two would’ve continued on like the dumbasses that they are without bringing it up. Leon’s got a lot of self-worth issues for many reasons. I add religious trauma as one of them. So, I think he also tends to view love as this thing he kind of doesn’t deserve because it’s holy. Claire and Nico work to correct him.)

Daylight - Shinedown

I was diagnosed with a fear of getting too close

Had to tell the ones I love I was on the ropes

I'm not the only one whose life's been pulled apart

-

You saved my life, not once but twice

You keep me free from falling

You saved my lifе, make it all alright

When I don't feel like talking

You makе sure I always see the daylight

ANGELS - Chase Atlantic

Calling on my angels (Ooh, yeah)

It's getting darker and I'm starting to get anxious (Ooh, yeah)

-

Pleasure and pain feel the same to me (Same to me)

I lost my faith, but I still believe there's something (Oh, yeah)

Blood in my eyes made it hard to see (Oh)

I went out searching for an angel then you came to me, my darling

Cloud 9 (ft. Tegan and Sara) - Beach Bunny & Tegan and Sara

I don’t wanna seem the way I do

But I’m confident when I’m with you

-

But when they love me, I feel like I’m floating

When they call me pretty, I feel like somebody

Even when we fade eventually to nothing

You will always be my favorite form of loving

Holy - Zolita

Worship your body as you walk my way

You're the only one who can make me pray

I fall at your feet, your breath defined

And underneath my skin's an intrinsic shrine

-

I love you most, but I'm not worthy

I'll give my soul, sacrifice me

Cause your love is holy

-

I'd rather drown in your ocean

Than wither on the shore

Undying devotion, feel you in my core

Veneration, this faith's got me high

Nothing without you, live for you till I die

Till I die, till I die, till I die, till I die, till I die...

Better Man - 5 Seconds of Summer

New friends again and again, gone when the morning comes

Demons I tried to defend, but I couldn't get enough

-

Fading away, fading away

Wake up to someone with nothing to say

I'd never change, thought I'd never change

Then you come and change it all

-

With your love, your love

I'm a better, better man

-

Wrapped in your arms, I swear

I'd die for your love, your love

Briveira (Carlos Olveira x Nico Bright)

(They met through Claire, Chris, and being coworkers at TerraSave and absolutely did not mean to fall in love. They were just friends for a while which was more than enough. He calls her “Dandelion”, she calls him “bear”, and life was totally good. She was this little bright patch that showed up about 9 months after Jill “”died”” that made things a little easier. She even reminded him of a Jill a little; that Fire, Call to Action, Integrity, Intelligence, and Stubbornness. Also the tendency to just pick locks. It was something (beyond age) that had him agonizing over loving Nico romantically; was he loving Nico in her own right or as this replacement for Jill and a redo to keep her safe? The answer, according to Nico, is that he worried for nothing and she’s thrilled when he finally made a move. So was Claire who got to watch her delightful girlfriend pine over him. It was both cute and disgusting at how confusedly in love she was.)

Sunflower, Vol.6 - Harry Styles

I couldn't want you any more

Kiss in the kitchen like it's a dance floor

I couldn't want you any more tonight

-

I don't wanna make you feel bad, but I've been trying hard not to act a fool.

Lover - Taylor Swift

And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear

Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years?

-

Can I go where you go?

Can we always be this close forever and ever?

And ah, take me out and take me home

-

I take this magnetic force of a man to be my

Lover

My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue

All's well that ends well to end up with you

Swear to be over-dramatic and true to my

Lover

-

And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me

And at every table, I'll save you a seat

Little Things - One Direction

Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me

But bear this in mind, it was meant to be

And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks

And it all makes sense to me…

-

Oh it's you

They add up to

I'm in love with you

And all these little things

-

If I let you know I'm here for you

Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you, oh

Heartbeat - Carrie Underwood

And tonight, I wanna drive so far, we'll only find static on the radio

And we can't see those city lights and I love the way you look in a firefly glow

Saying everything without making a sound

A cricket choir in the background, underneath a harvest moon

Standing on your shoes in my bare feet

Dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat

-

I wanna feel you holding onto me and make me hold my breath

You pull me closer, my head on your shoulder

Baby, we won't need a song

We'll make a fallen star wish, one more slow kiss

johnny & june - Zachary Knowles

They say finding love shouldn't be hard

That's when I knew, that's when I knew

I can't believe it's been like seven years

-

So let's writе a story about what we do

I'll be your Johnny and you'll be my June

We'll last forever like superheroes do

Yeah, let's write a story, let's write a story

About me and you

I was tagged by the lovely and wonderful @jillvalcntines to make some OCs in a picrew! To avoid being here all day and then some of tomorrow I went with only four. Because I am a fiend at making OCs and then giving them families, OC friends, etc. These are the ones that are mostly on my mind.

+ Veronica Marlene "Nico" Bright; She/They, Resident Evil

+ Javier "Javi" Reyes Valencia; He/Him, Resident Evil

+ Solus Ve'tra (eventually Solus Vizsla); Star Wars, She/Her

+ Verena "Vren" Avitus; FFXV, She/They

(I swear I use more than four letter names. These just happen to ge the ones that came to mind first)

“The odds for you are low, Avitus,” he briefly looked at her. “Two passes to seven fails. Do not make it eight.”

She refused to answer until he locked eyes with her. If the last person to see Vren Avitus alive was Captain Drautos then he would remember her. That was something she wanted to make sure of.

“Yes, sir.”
