the trifecta and love / fear ( of love, specifically )
lilli: loves love! / is paralysed by her fear of real, genuine, reciprocated romantic love, and emotionally distances herself but doesn't physically leave. steph: fears love. / runs away ( physically ), but tends not to distance emotionally, much to her chagrin. ellie: romanticises love. / may actively prevent herself from connections or run away in the moment ( anxiety ) but sticks around in the long term.
the trifecta and thanos:
lilli: survives.
steph: snaps.
ellie: dies in an accident at the hospital, but otherwise would snap.
the trifecta ft. running away
lilli: emotional self-preservation, mostly leave before they leave you, but not exclusively. most likely to stay gone. ellie: when emotions are Overwhelming — most often specifically when she needs to cry. most likely to stick around Long Term. steph: she's literally running away right now. could be to sort out her emotions ( return expected in 3-5 business days ), could be because she's Gotta Go ( return within 6 months ), or self-preservation ( return TBA ). mostly likely to come back, but it might take a while.
the trifecta + personal writing habits.
lilli: iphone notes. regularly cleared out.
ellie: bullet journals and planners. bujos are kept ( and tend to be abt the supernatural creatures she’s met and learnt about ), yearly planners tend to get recycled.
steph: heavy journaling about her life and her emotions, perhaps not daily but regularly, and since high school. all journals have been kept.
