when you became partners, you and neteyam promised you’d protect each other. so even with a fatal wound in your chest, you couldn’t say you regretted taking a bullet for him.

“You’re not the main character” often applies to people who think everything will go their way. But not every story is a heroes journey. Some are tragedies. Do you see yourself as the main character of a tragedy? You’re not the main character applies to that as well.

Thinking that you’re so uniquely annoying that that literally nobody on planet earth would like you is also a form of thinking you’re special and can also in certain ways be harmful to the people around you.

At some point you need to realize that there is no main character. Nobody on planet earth is inherently at their core more or less lovable than other people and even with very big mistakes almost nobody is beyond redemption or love. And you are not some special exception to either of those things. Thinking that you are is just your ego and mental illnesses talking.

summary: It didn’t matter that your best friend Robin claims he’s changed, you do not like Steve Harrington. He used to be egotistical, a player, an asshole — and you’re not in any hurry to believe he’s changed his ways.

Never mind that he seems terribly kind now, compliments here and there, or even that he’ll pick you up from a date gone horribly wrong… [16.5k]

Fact #1: You did not, under any circumstance, like Steve Harrington. 

It doesn’t matter what Dustin says nor the smug roll of Robin’s eyes, you knew it yourself even if no one else believed it; you did not like Steve Harrington. 

From everything you’ve ever heard about the guy, it was a surprise that he still had any friends — especially with the likes of your friends, a fact that makes you gag when Robin brings it up.

Robin, lovely best friend Robin, who completely betrayed you by associating herself willingly with Steve.

Since the beginning of high school, the two of you had been thick as thieves. Gossip was spilled between the two of you frequently, juicy enough to make even Carol Perkins’ head spin — you talked often enough that it got you split up during class time constantly, giggles too loud to be contained. 

Being at the bottom of the social food-chain —or maybe worse, completely unseen to your peers— there was nothing like sharing snarky remarks between you and Robin about the dunderheads who ‘ruled’ the school through idiotic popularity. 

Robin had a particular dislike for Tina Burgess ever since she’d started the rumour that girls in band were freaks in the sheets and would put out to anyone who would ask. You weren’t sure what had been worse: the obvious dig that Robin wasn’t getting any or the slimy guys who believed it and had the guts to ask. 

You, however, distinctly despised the likes of King Steve.

When Rheanyra & Daemon are walking on the beach the first real spark you see from Daemon is when she is talking about how miserable she’s been and insinuates that his life has been so much better. It hasn’t. You can see his vulnerability as Rheanyra is handing him everything he wanted all those years ago. The sex scene is tender and careful because this is a choice they are making together. They are choosing each other after years of being unable to do that. It’s not fueled by lust but something deeper.

After the confrontation when Rheanyra proposes the idea of marriage Daemon is surprised. He’s even more surprised that she’s willing to commit crimes to make it happen. The interesting thing she is offering him a place in her court as Prince Consort much like Viserys. The difference is Rheanyra is saying she needs him. In that moment he sees he can actually contribute something. He can help her strengthen her claim and become a stronger Queen. And just like Daemon is reborn. We see the old menace return as he plots & murders. Then when we see him at the wedding he has a new life in him. Gone is the aimless shell he was at the beginning of the episode.
