I’m back and inspired babbbyy

Been a while since I’ve had a new screencap, but Campaign 4 got me back on my bullshit.

C4 001 'The Execution of Thjazi Fang'

Everyone:

Like. I recently lost my pappaw. My mother's father. And by the end of his life, I didn't even want to speak to him. But that's not how things started! As I got older and I started to see him for who he was, as I began to understand the abuse my mom and her siblings endured, as I removed myself and my kids from his presence to escape his manipulations and racism and hatred...

I also knew that I couldn't erase the fact that he was the pappaw that kept M&Ms in his pocket just to sneak them to the grandkids. That he was the one who rescued me from the loose dog that tried to maul me. That he was the one who hosted my tenth birthday at his pool and helped us flee from a rogue wasp. That he was the one who encouraged my love of learning and helped keep me from losing all belief in myself with his consistent praise.

There are a hundred stories like mine. Like Steel's and Suvi's. Stories of people who were kind and good and family until you saw what was in their heart. And it's so important to me to show that people who are evil can also act like good people. Can fool others into thinking they're good. Can believe that they themselves are good!
