talk to myself real gentle

naddpod loves to posit the question what if you did everything right and you still failed. what if the people who came before you did everything they were supposed to and the world still feels so bleak. what if people tried, really tried, and it still didn't work. what if heroes fall, what if heroes become the same thing they sought to destroy, what if heroes become petty and bitter and isolated. what if people had to keep trying to care in a world that doesn't, and that battle between the two never ends. naddpod also loves to posit the question what if this man-sized frog had human teeth.

the thing is that hardwon and moonshine are literally soulmates. ‘I’ve always been half elf ever since I met you’ shut UPPP we get it already… like she literally parts the sea for him. she’s the one who lays with him in his coffin and shares his fear with him before he gets reincarnated. he makes her feel loved and appreciated and valued, and loves her people and her heritage just as much as she does.
