#exhels

makes me think if that would be how Hels views Ex, as in, they aren't a helsmit, they aren't fundamentally made from the insides out to be made of only the worst things in humanity, like Hels is, it's an active choice... meaning they can simply just become much better than he is, because they're capable of being better

but at the same time Ex considers themselves bad to the bone, they're very insistent on fulfilling that role as their own (is it fully?) choice in life and as their whole identity, meanwhile Hels was born into that role with the destiny to fulfill it until the end of his times, without much of a say in it
