The thing I love the most about your bgau is the intimacy that fills every chapter, and I'm not even talking about sexually. It's in the way Scar always has his attention on Grian, at all times, and is ready to be with her at the drop of a hat. It's in the way he quietly notices things, like with how she's feeling and when she's not ok, and he softly helps her. It's in the way Scar completely and wholeheartedly loves Grian with everything he has and isn't afraid to tell her constantly. But it's also the softness in which Grian let's Scar in. The times when she lets him into her space when previously only a few people did. The times where she's so nervous and so afraid and yet he's there with her throughout it all and I just. They're everything to me. They're everything a couple should be and I love them
thereās so much intimacy between them that just makes my heart melt
scar is so attentive to grian and more than willing to go above and beyond for her. and he will constantly tell her that. heās so unafraid to tell her how much he loves her, and he loves so loudly. heās at her side no matter what, and he cares so damn much. itās his greatest strength and his biggest character flaw (winks). but heās taken so much time to know her and learn her, to understand her. thereās so much intimacy in scarās softness with grian, physically and emotionally. he isnāt afraid to be himself with her, crack a goofy joke or three, ramble about star wars or mother spore
and grian !!! god grian. she cares so much about scar too š„ŗ the amount of trust she places in him to let him and hold him close, when itās something sheās been so scared of. I think there are two points specifically about grianās side of their intimacy that throws me onto the ground
1) she has so many reasons to run away from it all, but she tries so hard to be there emotionally for scar. she isnāt good at navigating emotions or being open about them, but she tries. she snaps and gets defensive, but almost every time grian pushes through that initial reaction for scar. she tries and tries, and that? that is one of my favorite aspects about her. hereās this character thatās created walls of steel lined with pointy traps, spikesāwhatever she can useābecause thatās what helped her survive. thatās what protected her
in comes scar, this gentle, incredibly sweet man with a heart of gold, and suddenly grian doesnāt need all those protections anymore. she doesnāt want them, because scar has shown her that she can come out of them with him. but sheās had these protections, these thorns for so long that theyāre deeply ingrained and removing them will take a long time. but grian is trying. sheās found someone worth trying for, someone sheās willing to trust and GOD if that isnāt something that hits so hard
Iām gonna eat these words soon
2) grian sees hotguy for who he is, and she loves him so deeply. she sees the man behind the mask, everything he sacrifices, the pain he carries. and sheās his pillar through it all. she gets angry on his behalf, worries about him, cares so much for him. the softness and intimacy in the way grian is there to greet him after patrol, willing to stay up for him, to hold him when he needs to let everything goā¦ grian sees it all. she offers to be it all for him, whatever he needs
theyāre SO everything to me too š„¹ I love their relationship so incredibly much. theyāre just so special and they feel so real to me. their relationship feels so rounded and full, and you see how much they love each other in word and action. theyāre truly each otherās soulmate ue ue ue ue ue
