      “look. i know i’m not perfect. but i’m a better person than you, so when i tell you you’re being a bag of shit, you better sit the fuck down and take notes!”

      “a better person?” he scoffs. “i am a GOD, you foul creature. i’ll not be spoken to that way by an insolent whelp who cannot tell his enemies from his friends! you’re still in the undeveloped stage of my childhood where you believe that the only solution to the evils of the world is to kill the people who perpetrate it. have you forgotten what you truly value? or have you never valued those things at all?” 

      “SHUT YOUR CUNT MOUTH ABOUT MY VALUES! there is only one god that i’d ever follow, and i wouldn’t care if you were that god himself--no god is above being questioned! since when have i done half the shit you did? since when have i killed thousands? since when have i oppressed anyone on the basis of their species? when have i lied or manipulated my way into positions of power? and if you’re really so blessed by divinity as you claim, how come you can’t see that i’m better than you could ever be?”

      “oh, trust me. your hands may be cleaner than mine, but deep inside, we share the same heart. you may not have done any of those things now. but if you keep going down the path you’re on…

yes he does! he would have one in all verses, and in all verses they’re exactly like the one he has in real life--meaning that his fandoms are comprised mainly of rabid stans who think he is physically perfect and can do no wrong. the only difference is in how the various lotors handle it.

I mean, let’s be real here. Would Runaan go out of his way to kill Rayla? No. Would he want to kill Rayla? Nah, man. I genuinely don’t think, even when he threatens her and starts fighting her, that he would have been able to kill her, but at the same time, what would he have done? Tied her up or ‘defeated her’ and left her in the human kingdom to become magic bits for the dark mages? Or killed her himself, ensuring that she would not be taken for all her magical pieces? Like- COULD HE have done it? It’s hard to say. He’ll, of course, SAY that’s what he’s going to do (because he’s Runaan and he’s stubborn as hell and how DARE YOU question his assassin work) but that doesn’t mean he actually would have done the thing. 

It’s kind of like the whole- “Dad, if it’s a choice between the egg or Soren, which do I choose?”

“The egg.”

probably why she tastes so good, because her blood’s not full of cholesterol xD
