i was tagged by @indorilnerevarine​, @aartyom, @nuclearstorms, @morvaris​, @arklay to do this quiz for my ocs, thank you so much beloveds! <3

love as violence

[ love as bloodshed, crimson as a knife slipped between your ribs ] when ocean vuong said "to arrive at love, then, is to arrive through obliteration" and when franz kafka said "you are the knife i turn inside myself; that is love" and when ada limon said "how do you love? like a fist. like a knife" and when richard siken said "sorry about the blood in your mouth. i wish it was mine" 

love as a choice

[ love is beautiful because it's built deliberately ] when casey mcquinston wrote "that's the choice. i love him, with all that, because of all that, on purpose. i love him on purpose" and when jenny slate tweeted "i just want someone to grab my little face and scream on purpose, on purpose i am going to care about you" and when jodi picoult wrote "after fifteen years, love isn't just a feeling. it's a choice" and when the good place said "if soulmates do exist, they're not found they're made"

love as devotion

[ devotion: love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person, activity, or cause ] when ruth said to naomi "where you go, i will go, and where you stay, i will stay. your people will be my people, and your God my God" and when hozier sang "i'll be the dreadful need from the devotee that drove [orpheus] underground" and when deathcab for cutie sang "if there's no one beside you when your soul embarks, i will follow you into the dark"

love as religion

[ love as the sole object of your reverence--nothing about you is holy, but maybe your love for another is ] when sappho said "in the crooks of your body i find my religion" and when the cast of les mis sang "to love another person is to see the face of God" and when halsey said "i found God, i found him in a lover" and when katherine philips wrote "to the dull angry world let's prove there's a religion in our love"

#tag games #oc: arkem #oc: dario #oc: eliseya #oc: misty #the way i have all but one of those quotes in arkem's result in his tag already... very telling lmfao. #dario's made me so unwell because it's so spot on and his bg3 arc will be allowing himself to make that choice again. insane. #eliseya's is absolutely... ough. very painful especially bc of how hexxat's romance goes and i'm still not sure how it'll work out (or not) #and misty's is sooooooooooo excellent it fits 100% #anyway i'm not tagging anyone bc i am deathly afraid of being annoying rn but. #feels good to blorbo-post once more <3 #*ocposting
