My Favorite Hc Is That Penelope Was Told By The Ladies In Waiting To Go And Stay In Her Room And Not

thinking about teen ford's belief that stanley will be fine making his own way in the world

usually that belief is taken as ford's typical shortsightedness when it comes to reading other people. i even agree, tbh! he's 17, of course he underestimates how harsh life without a support network is. he has no frame of reference.

but honestly?

i don't wonder if some of the misconception is that ford is blind to the fact that nobody else sees stan's potential the way he does. including stan himself!

stanley is viciously clever when he applies himself. he's resourceful, determined, witty. he's fully capable of being streetwise and book-smart.

ford knows that! so he trusts that those traits will carry stan. sure, it'll carry him to some seedy places, but when stan has something to fight for, he always comes out on top.

ford knows that.

(but stanley doesn't.)

only you

sick — beautiful analysis but how dare you do this to me

Battling through the mortifying ordeal of exposing my Twitter acc cause, unfortunately, I needed to share this comment I wrote because????? The pieces just clicked in place for me seeing that user’s post

Of course Jayce was able to grit his teeth and shoot Viktor at the commune, even though every fiber of his being was (literally) screaming at him not to—

Of course he rejected Viktor’s invitation in the council room, even though I’m sure he almost rejoiced when Viktor called him his partner again—

Of course he willingly gave up his life, didn’t fight as Viktor took over his mind even if it risked him being ascended and trapped forever as a statue, never able to think or move or breathe, a prisoner of his own body—

—because all of it would ensure, at the end, that Viktor would never have to come back to himself and see that he doomed the world. That his evolution was a massacre. That he’d be alone, indefinitely left to agonize over what he’d done. Because Jayce would never let that happen

"came back wrong" what about Came Back Afraid. You used to be brave. Too brave maybe, defying the odds at every turn, a fighter, cocky, playing with fire, first to throw yourself at the enemy. Until one day it all caught up to you. You came back, somehow, but now you know all too intimately how it feels to lose, to die, to be destroyed. Now you flinch and freeze and cower at the slightest provocation. Who even are you now if you can't be brave? The grave may have let you go, but the mortal fear still grips you tighter than ever.

yeah sometimes things get really painful but have you considered that sometimes you're the hissing, starving cat in an alleyway and the world is the soothing shushing that coaxes you into the warmth because sometimes, you can't always see how the scary thing might be the thing that heals you

GOD I love Zaunite Viktor. Give that man the Steampunk aesthetic he deserves

Some Zaunite Viktor and academy Jayce
