Me After Reading That One Niche Fanfiction For The Twenty-seventh Time

me after reading that one niche fanfiction for the twenty-seventh time

i hope the author of healing isn't linear knows they've changed my life

wills sudden shift into honey trap mode complete with the hair cut and dressing up makes me think he’s always been aware he’s attractive...it would make sense that he can tell with his empathy when people are attracted to him and it’s easy to imagine that it’s something that made him uncomfortable and that he felt the need to cover up with scruffiness and prickliness as seen on s1

It’s interesting in general to consider how much wills empathy clues him into what people want from him and how much he uses that for his purposes. He knows chilton wants respect and refuses to use his title, calling him only his first name while he knows hannibal wants intimacy from him and refuses to call him anything other than ‘dr. lecter’. It’s something that makes him such a fisherman! And also something that gives him a lot of capacity for cruelty, since he knows exactly where to hit you so it hurts - as bedelia says in s3 “extreme acts of cruelty require a high degree of empathy”

Maybe an obvious reminder but you don't have to feel guilty when you don't have anything to offer to your Deities in return for help.

In the same way you don't have to repay someone for doing you a favor out of their heart's desire - and don't have to feel bad if you cannot return their kindness with an equal gift back. People - and Deities - that love you understand when giving back is hard or impossible for you.

Sometimes a thank you is enough. Gratitude is enough, in whatever shape and form you can give it.

It's not transactional, it's set in mutual kindness and respect.

Do yourself a favor and just write everything out of order. That's legit what's stopping me from updating my WIPs because the back of my head is demanding it has to be consecutively written in order or else it won't make sense.

....which is kind of dumb because when I came up with the plotlines they were from scenes right in the middle lol
