LOVEEEED NEHM PT2 like I'm sorry but i need to cuote my favorite parts, hope it's okay.
1st the way rafe was so pissed at how reader blocked him and how her mother treated him when he got her books back, like I'm sorry that was so funny. ->"He has to physically retreat before he kicks your fucking door in. Her fucking audacity. As if she didn’t fully understand who the fuck he was. One meeting and a deal is all it would take for Cameron Development to buy this fucking dump of a street where your house was situated in. He’d like to see her slam her fucking door on his face then."
then the way he can't control himself at all, like loved the therapist thing, because i bet he does that several times an hour. he is so not able to regulate himself at all, like he does try but also he gets crazy af when little things happen and he can't control them, love him tho, he's such a psycho and a control freak.
“Fuck, this is me accepting responsibility, don’t you get it?!” <- this made me laugh.
then way we was trying to manipulate and convince her of things the whole time and how even he couldn't believe what he was saying, like rafe slow down and take a break.
“You think I can’t walk away from this shit too? Well, fuck you! I’m done too.” <- the way he is actually trying to convince himself of that, like rafe no you can't, we all know that.
"He also keeps staring at the pictures he took of you. He knows he should delete them but he can’t. You were his after all. He had every right to have those pictures on his phone. And you were so fucking hot…" <- would love to say how much of a lover boy he is but he is actually kind of a creep and a stalker, like he is so obsessed with her it's sick (but i love it so much).
"It takes everything in him to keep his cool. “Change the fucking subject, man. If you know what’s best for you.” <- the way he doesn’t take shit from his 'friends' like really they are like little puppies who follow him around, like I'm even done with them and they aren’t my friends.
then the way he spoke about Sarah, how he cuts Ward off every single time he wanted to talk to him, how he talks about the power he has and how much he hates and is disgusted by the poverty and people from the Cut really impresses me, in the best way. like i really found it funny how he is so ironic but also bold? all the time, like really he is never in his senses, always high or on something.
really liked how you showed him so much softer in the end, but still being so sick to get hard while watching her be so vulnerable and also the way he was indeed taking advantage of her.
like im sorry this is so long, i really could still be listing so many things and this would be so much longer, have many more things to say but overall it was perfect.
like you write him so beautifully, like something i love from rafe and his dynamic with everyone in the series is how bold and how "honest", you could say, he is. like he makes me laugh so much at how blunt he is and how he does not care at all about what other's say and i think you get that so much. he is so sick and really i find me thinking and asking myself how the hell do i even like someone like that? but he is just so misunderstood and he really is just broken inside.
again sorry for the long ask and thanks for this masterpiece really, keep writing him pls <333
Words can’t describe how much i love when you guys pick out your fav quotes from my fics! And never apologise for the long ask, i appreciate you so much 🫶🏼🥹
And lmao, I’m glad you got a chuckle out of the Rafe crash out moments bc they were honestly so so fun to write! Like his mind goes from zero to a hundred so quickly! I liked that he got the door slammed in his face, serves his smug ass right!
Also lmao at how everyone sees right through rafe saying “fuck you I’m done too” bc like… literally two scenes later he’s buying her a Chanel bag 😭
And yes I really tried to make him a mix of asshole, insane, sweet l, apologetic yet still angry. Idk i just tried to make him be a lot bc there’s a lot going on in his brain and it makes me happy that you guys like my characterisation of him! And yes he is super blunt at times, it’s bc he doesn’t care about people he deems beneath him. But then he also lies a lot so yeah 😭
