cliché

they diagnosed me with i love you and it’s incurable

sound on, obviously

Imagine The Fellowship all sitting around the campfire halfway up Caradhras retelling the events of the Hobbit to Boromir and Aragorn Rashomon-style with Gimli going "my dad tells it this way" and Legolas going "well, my dad tells it this way" and the Hobbits all going "but Bilbo tells it this way!" and, even though Gandalf was fucking there for half of it, he refuses to weigh in on anything because watching them argue is more fun and also he doesn't remember because it was over 75 years ago.

Even better: Gandalf remembers it perfectly fine but he keeps making shit up and agreeing to multiple different versions just to throw everyone off

do you feel my love for you my need for you my desire to dig deeper into you to learn about you on a deeper level to understand how you function what gets you going what excites you and interests you what hardships you’ve faced that has a hold on you and effects your core and shapes your morals and way of thinking what series of events makes you perceive things the way you do I want to know what you experience as reality
