'aftermath of torture'? coward. show me the math of torture. the calculus of evil and the terrible geometry of pain.

#it's just one of those days in the ao3 tags #id fodder

The combination of 'unnervingly flawless self-control' with 'occasional tendency to engage in reckless, dangerous, and borderline self-destructive or death-seeking behaviour' in a character is SUCH catnip to me

best kind of betrayal

You thought I cared about you? How pathetically naive. It was always a lie.

I set this in motion long before I loved you; it's too late to stop it now.

I was betrayed by the narrative long before I betrayed you. I have no choice.

Time after time I trusted you as you wronged me but this was once too many.

We all have roles to play. Mine is to be the agony that torments you into power

This is a betrayal of myself as much as or more than it is a betrayal of you

I never betrayed you, but the only hope we have is for you to believe I did

I only had an instant to choose: myself, or you.

I love you and you have asked me to betray you and I cannot refuse you even that

something else / what is wrong with you / show result

#i have been betrayed by the 10-option limit #but even more so by the character limit per option #tumblr how am i meant to express the nuance of betrayal in 80 characters #this is why i could never be on twitter tbqh #polls #betrayals the surest way to my heart #id fodder

*looking at a fictional couple* so which one of you is the moral compass and which one is the impulse control?

#it's just so much FUN when they're not the same person #id fodder

“Now, I’ll tell you why I spit on your forgiveness; I’ll tell you why I loathe your redemption. To reach a hand down to somebody, they need to be BENEATH YOU!”

and that’s a one-hit KO by Exandria Unlimited: Calamity. Nice knowing all of you.

writing tip: where your worldbuilding allows for it, keep a random empath on hand for the sole purpose of being utterly incapacitated by the secondhand agony of a character who is standing there looking like nothing is wrong

#bonus points if the empath themself isn't sure where this overwhelming pain is coming from; just that it's all-consuming #i love this shit i will eat it up with a spoon #id fodder

characters who talk like they're trying to get a good grade in therapy? pass.

characters who talk like they could get a good grade in therapy but instead they're using that knowledge to be even more manipulative? I'm listening.

#and so we come back to my usual:#anything can work if it's fucked up enough #anyway is this about a specific character or is it a general statement? yes #id fodder

ah yes the five love languages: arson, murder, betrayal, torture, and knives.
