blorbos from my head

I’m trying to make it bad but not in a clear cut way so they oscillate between having open healthy conversations and the most manipulative shit imaginable (often with good intentions executed horribly)

Think about it. In real life, the person that's bottling up all their emotions is not the one that's brooding in the corner and snaps at you for trying to befriend them. More often than not, it's that friendly person in your circle who makes easy conversation with you, laughs with you, and listens and gives advice whenever you're upset. But you never see them upset, in fact they seem to have endless patience for you and everything around them—and so you call them their friend, you trust them. And only after months of telling them all your secrets do you realize…

(by coincidentally I mean I read mistborn well into writing and planning YMG)

poor child of a dead prostitute discovers that she has a very powerful magic passed genetically that is almost entirely restricted to the upper class, and is subsequently taught magic by a powerful ex noble guy with mystery scars and a Tragic Backstory and taught high society stuff by a v nice tall guy w dark skin and lots of piercings, the govt sucks, conspiracies be happening, viva la revolution, etc etc

but the differences if you map the characters over to their mistborn ‘counterparts’ are So Funny

- vin is no longer a natural talent, she’s a cringe fail lesbian with shaking chihuahua vibes

- kelsier is the most pathetic depressed gay alcoholic to grace the earth and is in a relationship with sazed

- elend is a soft spoken blind butch lesbian

- breeze is a trans pimp
