#I want to talk about #Scott McCall #and fire #about Peter’s claws in his neck; forcing his memories of being burned alive into Scott’s head #about watching Peter burn again from their molotov cocktail #about making the decision to drench himself in gasoline and light a flare #knowing first hand just how it would feel to take his own life that way #about how he stared at the bonfire like he was remembering that moment #about how five minutes later someone dragged him away when he was helpless #and doused him in gasoline #again #that’s two times too many for one lifetime #talk to me about how he went home and scrubbed and scrubbed until the smell was gone #scoured his skin to get rid of that cloying stench #seductive with its promise of an end to all this pain and fear #just one little match #one flick of a lighter #tell me about the things Scott thinks about when he sees flames #or catches the scent of gasoline(via)
