“You can’t know joy …unless you’ve known sorrow. Those of us who can soar to the highest heights can also plunge to the deepest depths.”
“It’s a balance.”
“That’s the beauty of it.”
That’s right. And I adore characters that represent that. I don’t ever just want to see the good in a character that I observe and engage with in art/entertainment. Frankly, despite how bad it may sound, it’s not that interesting to have a character doing good all the time. And it’s not realistic. Balance is the key. Always. You learn so much more from the representation of both the ups and downs and highs and lows and the good and bad than you ever will with a character that only ever represents one or the other.
I choose morally grey characters because they’re the realist ones. And if they’re that real - I can relate and resonate with them. That’s what I really care about.

A very good ending to what was at times an extremely depressing show.

(source) this'd be almost comically villanous if it wasn't so fucking bleak and tragic and real

I need an unhinged Barty
Give me a Barty who will hunt down hurt and kill for the people he loves
Give me a Barty who gets unhealthily obsessed with people
A Barty who, after Regulus died, cracked and used even more unforgivables, killed for fun, and tortured for sport
A Barty who heard Dorcas was killed and made it his personal mission to avenge her by any cruel means necessary
But when Evan died, a Barty who doesn’t even have rails to fly off of anymore. He kills anyone in his way, including death eaters, and he enjoys it. He is hardly on the death eaters side anymore but stays with them because of the pain they cause
And when he heard Pandora died, the sweet gentle soul of Pandora, he crumbled.

too many of you guys think nico is the loser and not lewis for letting the divorce go on for so long. like they're both losers about each other. emotionally constipated idiots who can't talk about their toxic homoerotic friendship that imploded on itself like 8 years ago and are now making it everyone else's problem. yeah nico's on television or in beer gardens talking about lewis all the time but like every other month some reporter is like "lewis, what's your favorite moment in your career?" and lewis no hesitation is like "oh man, karting, y'know? everything was simpler then" and then spends another six months skirting around nico's name. like this whole thing they're doing in the media isn't some kinda extended foreplay for them. they're both still pressing on the bruise to make sure it's still there!!! every few months, they're literally just asking on public television, does it still hurt for you like it does for me? and like clockwork, someone will release new information about them or one of them will say something about each other (in my heart, he's still my best friend/yes... and teammate) and the answer will remain the same, yes, of course, always.
