my fave thing about having friends and partners who share my taste in characters despite having Wildly different fandoms is that i can often send angsty song lyrics like "i bet this fits one of your blorbos, right??" and they'll be like "HOW DID YOU KNOW THIS HYPERSPECIFIC SONG ABOUT A FATALISTICALLY LOYAL CHILD SOLDIER WOULD BE RELEVANT TO ME" and i'm like "listen. my guy. there is Always a fatalistically loyal child soldier."

#the specific song inspiring this is hand of sorrow by within temptation but i listen to a LOT of fantasy angst. #many such cases.
