pxreblood:
he knew he did wrong; he knew that his words held more poison than any wound he could physical inflict upon the lion. he was a man of his sharp tongue and fierceness —— when he did something, there was no half-assing, for lack of a more appropriate term. a slytherin was ambitious and followed through with all acts to their very core. but this time —- this time he’d gone too far and he knew it.
’ i do not deserve a lot of things, cub. ‘ his pet name; one he resorted to for the soft & tender side of his affection —- this was his brother, best mate; lover and friend —- godric & salazar till the ends of the world, up until as of late, that is. he missed the past —- when things were easier to hold onto. a tentative step taken as the door latched close behind him; locked to keep out unwanted guests —- though, at the moment, he was sure he was the very being godric wished to keep out. ' —- but i have hurt you and that is not something i can keep in. '
█ ░ — 「♔」 the fire that coiled around his hand like a s n a k e swiftly returned home to the fire place, no dis-figuration marring calloused skin. it seemed that this fire possessed a purpose ( to comfort ) and thus had no need to inflict any ill intent upon the lion. he wanted to l a u g h, but all that came out was silence. it was his own silence, which was most frightening even for him. eyes fluttered tightly close, lips pursed together in an expression that conveyed disappointment. gryffindors shall be known as those with the most damaged hearts -- easily wounded, yet one came back stronger than previous. fingers dug into silk sheets, the fur-covered blanket providing comfort and warmth that the snake can never give.
' i do applaud you for stating the obvious. ' head tilted towards the left, scowl softening. ' -- it'd be impossible for you to release it. ' in the near future, salazar will be no more. hogwarts will have one less founder and a broken heart. truly, godric p l e a d e d for the strife to be over -- the snake to set aside personal hatred for muggles. it being obvious in his now open eyes; the way he stared up at the elder.
' or, can you prove me wrong? '
"I still don't have a straight answer, why is Gryffindor more comfortable than Slytherin's common room?"
because we have big booty hoes.
pxreblood:
& this is the snake finding his way back to the lion’s den after hours of silence between the two; the argument before unsettling both men and leaving one feeling as if he had truly wronged the other. before this place; before hogwarts —- they were a team, best of friends. the question was —- what happened?
so with a knock upon a door and a turn of a handle, he found himself moving into the other’s quarters —- silence as he watched him; waiting for the other to speak first.
█ ░ — 「♔」 here the lion let lose a white cotton shirt, timidly displaying scars and burnt skin into a dark sky of nothingness. only the fire comforted him ( the element his house will follow suit ), of which coiled around his right hand like a lost child. odd... he should be afraid of fire, but instead welcomed it like an old friend. lips parted upon hearing the entrance open -- he, the lion cub who wore nothing more than leather trousers, slowly moved his gaze upward and saw --
... n o.
' -- do you deserve to be here, salazar? ' what malice possessed godric in earlier hours dispelled. it seems a more mellow, sorrowful, [hurt] tone claimed him. he knew -- salazar knew -- that the lion suffered physically more than any of their friends. damaging a lion's shield ( denting it until a crack appeared ), meant a long healing process. and a cub that needed saving more than anything,

if the maned one could have an enemy, it was he who slithered in the night —- for his kind feared nothing and no one but themselves. he had his moments of self-doubt, but never about this. this sensitive thing the four bickered and rattled on about —- muggles and their hideous ways; beating and killing their kind and they should allow them safe passage into their school? it shan’t happen; not on his watch. ' my arrogance is also my own, godric —- do not take credit for what is not yours. what you can, however, take credit on is allowing that filth to walk onto our land. ' he did not back down, words were but that & no word would keep the king slytherin down. ' you, of all people, should know why i feel as I do —- you who bare your scars and wounds and parade around as if they are the marks of a godsend. you, who rattle on about peace and honor, when they have done nothing honorable in their miserable lifetime. you who speak out against me, your own —- your brother, for those vermin —- yes, i make my plans and you should do the same. '
█ ░ — 「♔」 the snake knew how to select his words wisely. in this predicament, they were chosen as if of a brazen purpose to anger him. salazar knew of the lion's sensitivity of his physical deformities -- caused by muggles who thought him to be "satan's child," and "the devil." a split-second sign of fear openly exhibited by widening eyes, but quickly faltered in order to adopt a stony countenance. ' i speak for them because i only harbor hatred for those who harmed me, not for the innocents. ' furthermore, godric knew that all pure-bloods were not as... antagonistic as salazar; he evaluated character instead of upbringing. maybe the snake needed to do the same. ' how d a r e you use my trauma in order to warp my mind, salazar. '
an exasperated sigh as the youth spun around on his heels.
' -- jealous, aren't you? of the attention i give to muggles, but not to you? '
pxreblood:
the cold blooded one had his own faults & he knew it —- for his people to come, generations upon generations, would suffer the same. for everyone would look down upon the house of slytherin with ill intent and harsh judgement; a false reputation given only because of the truth within them. nevertheless, a grin would follow and no one would know of his faults but himself. ' little lion, you have enough arrogance already — you needn't anymore. ' what could be called a hiss might have escaped his lips as legs propelled him closer to the other.
’ my domain is my domain for a reason, godric. ‘
█ ░ — 「♔」 provoking a lion will only induce more arrogance, but the youngest was grateful for his innate ability to control himself in situations like this. rather, he was far used to salazar's combatant attitude more-so than rudeness. ' it looks like some of my arrogance rubbed off on you, salazar. ' metal-clad boots stepped back some: not out of fear, but so he had enough space to glance up. they fought -- but for what? different views on who should and should not attend hogwarts? muggles completely barred away, who would in turn transform the magical world into a war zone? ' puzzles, deceit, and ambition? or a torturous domain in which you plan more plans upon preventing muggles from attending? ' if anything, godric stood proudly with enabling muggles to attend -- even though -- even though their ilk inflicted physical scars upon his body. even if they were the r e a s o n for hallucinations and lack of sleep.
✚
☲☲☲ 02. HEALTH
there are times when godric has bouts of insomnia; hallucinations occurring at random times of the day; impulsive behavior on the levels of one diagnosed with adhd. the latter, of which the founder is actually inflicted with, makes him fidgety and on top of that -- prone to behaviors that can be perceived as brutally honest.
♆
☲☲☲ 01. BODY
physically, the founder is strong ( very much similar to a lion ), despite all scars and burn marks ( concealed via magic ) that may be present. people may think naught of godric being... a f r a i d, but the scars and burn marks were from physical torture inflicted upon him via "witch hunters." it is a sign of complete and absolute trust if he does not quickly slip on a white cotton shirt and brown trousers. these markings serve as a reminder of persecution; signs that if shown, godric requests that you are "sworn to secrecy" -- not speak of it to a n y o n e else.

{ I. & II. & III. }
from physical abuse ranging from stoning and stabbing, godric still bears those scars. strewn across his back is an enormous burn scar; from a torch that a "witch hunter" brought to his back while a couple men held him down. despite what he stands for, godric goes to great lengths to try and hide them. even the scars upon his cheeks are concealed with the means of magic.
of half-blood, godric was [ wizard father, muggle mother ], the former of which was burned during the feverish witch hunts that plagued medieval england. his mother met the same fate five months later: the people claimed her to consort with the "devil," which was a common accusation against magical peoples. he holds prejudice toward muggles, but he can understand that they are all different and it is wrong to pour all into one category.
I just want to do things right but I know deep in my soul I will always fail you
