“Lord Taliesin!” Taliesin lore drop.

First image: [first sentence highlighted] One day my mother casually said, 'we never worried about you, you always knew how to take care of yourself.' And it broke something quietly inside me. Because what sounds like pride also feels like loneliness. It means no one ever really looked too closely, no one wondered if the strong one was tired. It means I learned to carry the weight so well that no one thought to help me set it down. And maybe that's the silent cost of being 'capable', you stop being seen as someone who also needs softness. You become the safe place for everyone but never quiet have one of your own. And in that moment, I realized strength had been my survival, but it had also been my isolation. /end first image

Second image: [tweet by @/zandashe] I dream of never being called resilient again in my life. I'm exhausted by strength. I want support. I want softness. I want ease. I want to be amongst kin. Not patted on the back for how well I take a hit. Or for how many. /end second image

Third image: [lyrics] [first verse] I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous | I'm as tough as the crust of the Earth is | I move mountains, I move churches | And I glow, cause I know what my worth is | I don't ask how hard the work is | Got a rough indestructible surface | Diamonds and platinum, I find 'em, I flatten 'em | I take what I'm handed, I break what's demanded [second verse] But under the surface, I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus | Under the surface, was Hercules ever like "Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus?" | Under the surface, I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service /end third image

You told me you loved me. I do.
