— Jihyun Yun, from "The Leaving Season," Some Are Always Hungry

aegon the unworthy — [lust, gluttony and desire ruled.]     of the seven deadly sins; which are pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth, which has ruled and corrupted my muse the most over their life?   what is an example of when they succumbed to this particular ‘sin’?     how have their weaknesses and succumbing to this/these ‘sins’ spoiled others opinions of them? for Vida Waters

wrath is the one that has arguably changed her life the most and changed others perspectives on her, in multiple different ways. however... pride and envy are the two that appear in her day-to-day life and influence her most often.

WRATH. a beaten dog can only take so much before it bares its' fangs... vida had, and has, a huge amount of pent up aggression, pain and anger inside her. the night she became a killer was the night that wrath took the forefront in the most and moved her to defend herself. her fear manifested as violent anger when she was subjected to anothers attempted abuse, and he died as a result. though it wasn't intentional, she did not feel remorse nor guilt; and her life changed from that point. she collected her decades of mistreatment and weaponised that intense hatred and malice into staging her own death, arson and theft, all to avoid the consequences and to escape whilst causing harm to those who'd harmed her. wrath, in even a reasonable context, caused some to believe she was dead, soon forgotten, whereas she has not told anyone of this event (with the exception of errick farman) to avoid being viewed as a killer, or coward [pride]. PRIDE & ENVY. her pride in herself warps into a sense of superiority and defiance, she doesnt need or want your help. there is an undercurrent of envy that influences this... she both loathes and longs for the security of being born into some level of wealth; 'why do you deserve it but i do not?'. vida has seen so many who take it for granted, she cannot help but despise and disparage them [wrath]. her sense of pride bleeds into her personal interactions, and her lack of tolerance for general crowds, but she does not let it creep into her professional work: this is the place where her professional pride overshadows her personal issues. + there is nothing she is more proud of, sincerely and cockily, than her skills in her craft. she wants to be better, and she will be better than anyone else. there is a very visceral and twisted-pleasurable element of being able to hold the power of life and death over even those who sleep upon piles of jewels and gold — wealth will pay for health, always.
