anyone worth their salt knows those very domineering, aggressive control-freak types are just putting on a front. just baiting someone to come over and give them taste of what it's like. to force a mirror on them while they're fighting so, so hard to prove they're untouchable, all while being pushed within an inch of their life. the denial of it all. while you're hushing and whispering to them, that you know they tried so hard, they fought back with everything, everything they had, every ounce of strength and willpower, but it was for nothing. they know they have it coming. they're afraid, so they'll fight harder, be louder. they'll spend their whole life just waiting for that day, that one person who actually has it in them to finally take everything from them. because all it takes is one. because you know, anyone flaunting their control that loudly, that often, it's like they're begging for it! you see it too, right? might as well be wearing a big old sign saying "FINISH ME"
