do one good thing before you go

I love willing guard dogs <3 I love characters who devote themselves to someone to an all consuming and unhealthy extent and are aware of it and decide they don't care. I love when characters will tear the world apart for the ones they love regardless of whether or not they have any feelings about it. I love when a characters morals mean nothing next to the person they love. I love when they are fully capable of taking care of themselves and want to be owned and doted on anyway. I love when they brutally murder someone and the other looks at them with silent approval and they preen just a little, knowing they're doing a good job. I love. Guard dogs <3

I love when they look to their companion/handler for instructions on what to do subconsciously. I love when they're covered in blood and burying their face in their chest saying they're so glad they're safe. I love when they could be free and choose not to be, because why would they ever want that when their Person is right here? I love when someone refers to them as that persons attack dog and they don't even deny it. I love horrible toxic and mutually obsessive attack dog and handler dynamics hello hello hello-

overload my nervous system with pain and comfort and watch my poor little brain short circuit. punch me in the stomach and kick my legs out from under me while im catching my breath and then bring me into the closest hug and tell me no one’s gonna make me feel good as you do and i’ll fully believe you i promise

like i promise im literally so malleable. AND im cute when my eyes go all fuzzy. so u basically win.

“i love you as much as someone like me can love anyone” as a dynamic yasssssss #healing #worldpeace #love

following me from one post without looking at my blog at all is probably a mistake

sometimes you invent mind prisons for yourself for no good reason and youre like "i really like being in the mind prison" even though you dont actually like being in the mind prison

i love it when writers play sympathy chicken with me by making characters who suck for understandable reasons but are, like, so uncharismatic and regressive and genuinely difficult to root for about it. i love it when being a victim doesn't make someone a better person or motivate any kind of self reflection or improvement. i love it when people who were hurt respond in mundane, unromantically terrible ways that only make them more pathetic and repellent to others. i'm not even being ironic these are some of my favourite kinds of characters. can't say i'm as fond of what happens when they're introduced to a fandom though.

to be confident in posting about your Guy all u need to do is read fifty academic articles and five books of varying respectability and reliability and also watched a few operas or plays. this tumblr thing can be so easy

big fan of when characters meet another version of themselves and their first instinct is to literally physically kill their doppelganger with their own two hands. which could mean absolutely nothing.
