Crying Over Wizards Since 1984

you know that trope where it’s princess + knight, but they’ve both been captured by the bad guys and the princess is now gripped by the jaw by the villain, receiving a thin cut to her cheek while remaining completely still with a defiant look in her eyes even as a droplet of blood begins to trickle out of the wound, all while 3 people AT THE VERY LEAST need to have their hands locked on the knight because he’s thrashing around like a wild animal, trying so so so desperately, violently, to get to her?

i almost let comparison be the thief of my joy again

it’s the “you change everything” it’s the greatest fear of Dying Alone it’s the “banal nadas” it’s the “whatever you need, we can find it together” it’s the “i cannot do that to you, vhenan” it’s the “but you would do it to yourself? i can’t bear to think of you alone” it’s the “var lath vir suledin” it’s the “i will never forget you” it’s the “what i feel for you will never change” it’s the “i’m here, walking the dinan’shiral with you” it’s the “banal nadas ar lath ma, vhenan” it’s the “yet even the Dread Wolf couldn’t foresee what it would mean to fall in love” it’s the bellanaris of it all
