ethan also has large gaps in his knowledge that dont totally make sense. he can tell you all the bones in the body with only a couple stutters but doesn't know what physical therapy is or why casts exist. he can tell you all known facts about five separate species of penguins but was pretty sure giraffes and a whole bunch of animals were fictional until he was in his 30s. he can give you a pretty good run down of how to make yourself untraceable online but has never encountered a power strip
the specific nature of that trauma is exaggerated for effect, i guess, but it's hashtag real world happenings on my end
i really should finish dirge because atm i have no idea if she reciprocated at all or if this was totally one sided and couldn't really pick it up anything i could trust from just reading the script
the other half is that he had extreme trauma happen to him directly following and directly because of his crush on her and so he latched onto the affection he felt as the last positive emotion he experienced for like. 3 decades. if he'd had a normal life after niebleheim he probably would have gotten over her like a normal person
death
my great aunt just died today and i didnt know she was sick and im feeling weird for being crushed about it because we weren't that close but she was family and. and now im never going to be able to get to see her and i didn't know that much about her and she was one of the last memebrs of my grandmother's generation and now she's just. gone.
their development over dw is going to be from baby to baby with a tough exterior, then over the gap (votive) they're going to get hurt and be sensitive and defensive about it, then in tvb they normalize and soften again, and then in sn theyre going to be very aggro
"this is not only due to your bad posts" they say, pelting me with small rocks, "there are many reasons for this"
