i require more wols who DON’T forgive the exarch for what he did. who don’t forgive g’raha for what he did, while still having a good relationship with him

tiamat will never forgive him for what he did during 5.0, despite all else, and that’s just a thing they both have to live with. he left once, devastated her, then planned to not only leave again, but not even give her the chance at having him back before pulling a heroic suicide, managing to fuck that up and compound the upset on itself tenfold with his decisions that would have shut her out. she can’t forgive him for that bc it’s going to haunt her for a very, very long time, and no amount of apologies will undo that hurt. he knows this and it’s a regret he must simply live with.

i have a great need for more complexity with this bc there’s so much potential for rly getting into the consequences of his stunt and exploring how it would affect their trust long-term…

me n my wol who does not trust her favorite person in the world bc of the pain he inflicted on her, even if she loves him more than anything and is happy being with him. shit’s just like that sometimes

bartender: i wanted to tell you that-

me, crying into my drink: people say zenos is boring and flat when he's a perfect prime example of the culmination of the efforts of a horrific empire built on the suffering of thousands upon thousands of people, a literal weapon in human form, a political pawn that was constantly treated as such by the people around him and never experienced love or affection or even a proper childhood, who is considered "spoiled" even though material things and a king's education could ever be a replacement for simply being treated as a human being, whose skills were many but was made to kill even though he had no genuine love or joy for it at all, and only found some semblance of value in his own life by treating it as something to be put on the line in a game of death in the throes of a grand epic battle like the stories and legends he idolized in his childhood. people say zenos is one-note when that's what he was meant to be before he experienced the pure joy of something close to being a human for the first time which was so profound to him that he threw away the empire that raised him into a tool without any hesitation whatsoever, because he never had any love for that empire or its people or its ideals and was only ever a figurehead to begin with. zenos is a horrible man who has killed so many others and even started the end of the world for his own desperate desire and acknowledges that completely and utterly without any pretenses or attempt for sympathy, because he is a weapon, he is a being that is able to look upon evil and say that there IS no good reason for it, evil is evil, violence is violence, death is death, and not a single excuse in the world can ever justify it. zenos is a character that is not just defined by the wol, but is defined by the entire context of his existence, and that makes him a much more complicated character than people realize.

gwen hates both taking pictures and appearing in them. this is the closest she'll ever be to be in a selfie - be sure she never finds out, though.
