I Can Live Forever, I'll Rise Again

That man is an unadoptable shelter dog and I need someone to take him to his forever home and let him slowly but eventually ease into feeling safe and loved for the first time in his life

Big fan of characters who “kill” their younger selves. Characters who resent the past version of themselves for letting them get hurt, who look at that kid and feel revolted by the foreignness of it. Characters who feel they have to cut the child out of them like a tumor because it’s hurting them too much and if I don’t kill you you’ll kill me. Nearly nothing remaining of that past self but for the little connections and mannerisms they can’t kick, and when it shines through, it’s a terrible, tragic thing, because the child is still in there. It’s in there and it’s grotesque in its suffocation. But it’s there.

The "This character who is flawed, traumatized and hurting cannot be saved by love. But they can choose recovery because they are loved"-trope makes me just... I think I need to lay down.

I heart prey animal rage I love when characters are fucking insane with terror

When they're not dangerous like a hunter but dangerous like a spooked horse kicking your skull in

Let's hear it for prey animal rage let's hear it for killing everyone else in the world before you'll let them catch you

"Shut up! I was only trying to prove that vagabond could have done better on your Christmas present!"

"That's an ugly scarf. Who saddled you with that?" he asked as he took his knife to the tape on the box and dumped the puzzle pieces out on the floor in front of the couch.

my favorite genre of fictional character is like "i am terrifying to almost everyone, i'm very good at killing, i can endure anything, i've become exceptionally good at playing into my reputation, and if you try to give me positive social interaction i will react with confusion and cower in a corner like an abused animal. and i may try to shoot you. but there is also a chance i may imprint on you like a feral dog receiving its first loving touch! good luck."

my favorite kind of character is the kind who deep in their soul is constantly screaming LOVE ME LOVE ME LOVE ME and outwardly expressing literally anything else

this post has been very fun for me because I rarely post anything that's not like, specific to my fandoms yk but now I get to see everybody tagging this with their favorite traumatized guys and it's cool

"Yeah, well. You got me fancy pajamas and junk. And I ain't got peneumonia this winter so. You know."

"Shew! These is fancy!"

um your poor little meow meow chewed through his leash and is now perpetuating the cycle of violence
