more of my modern au revelations: the only way you can even hope to replicate istvan henry dynamic with low stakes is making istvan his evil boss. and he’s a “great addition to a resume” and competent and even helpful when he wants to be. but he mostly doesn’t and appears to torment henry, give a herculean task of the week and low-key sexually harass him. henry fantasises about violently murdering him during lunch breaks and considers actually fucking him during extreme low points of his life (corporate parties)

Wanna talk more about Henry’s nightmare, and why I designed that commission, in fact, I think nightmare reflects kind of self-hate tendency, he split self-perception into two parts, one is Henry, another obvious is Itsvan. Istvan carries some emotions that he can’t face directly, for instance, coldness, violence, cruel, and self-hate, Henry is afraid of losing ppl the cares about, perhaps he thinks he’s not capable enough, he’s a sensitive man, bears too much feelings that not his responsibility, but he couldn’t be truly cruel to himself, so this is Istvan’s scenario. This istenry is not the real characters for each two ppl, and I think Istvan in reality wouldn’t do such an execution, but because it’s a dream, anything can happen.
