When Franz Kafka said, "I ran from love because I knew it would destroy me. " but Fyodor Dostoevsky said, "I ran into love because I needed it to destroy who I used to be. "

Average Shadowgaster seeing Caleb and Essek interact:

[widogast-ta]

Veth calling Caleb the best dunamancer indicates to me 1) she is aware of this particular pedantry in the Widogast-Thelyss household and 2) she uses it to piss Essek off specifically. And I love that for her

[essektheylyss]

Anyway if you need me I'll be lying in a puddle thinking about Caleb calling Essek dear one and immediately shunting him out of the room to get him out because Essek wasn't going to leave him otherwise.

[essektheylyss]

Like can you believe. I used to DREAM of days like these.

[essektheylyss]

Essek, once described himself primarily as a selfish creature, pausing before getting out of the increasingly dangerous halls solely to look back and tell Caleb he'd come back for him while calling him my love.

[kafkas-brainworm]

Remember during c2, when Matt was like: "…he [Essek] is even smarter than you", and Liam just winked at him, unbothered? It's so funny that this is still the energy.
