#his wife will definitely have a less drastic reaction. not her first rodeo.

Ik I’m just tooting my own horn here (sidenote: can we PLEASE talk about this saying. Why is it like that?) but holy shit my writing. I love how it goes from one character seeing a stray cat and being like ‘free cat’ and takes this feral fluffy creature into his home to massive destruction and trauma in like three pages.

#taks speaks #currently debating on a sweet scene with peace and snow and then suddenly the death of three minor characters #and one character basically losing the entirety of his life outside of his own life #like the only thing he doesn't lose is his wife (shes a main character he's actually secondary to her) #but he's gonna fuckin snap which is necessary for progression bc he's just too nice even tho everything around is shit #when his wife is just there ready to burn down the fucking world even before this whole event #*btw the cat lives the cat is in another place entirely at that time* #*he's still there to bite people dw* #omg but i've been thinking for so damn long as to how to get the two domesticated characters back into the story #and i think this is it #like *this scene is boring* *wow a child* *aaaaannnd kill it off. not working.* #along with taking away this guy's house. aunt. dog. life savings... #i mean he IS the only one who didn't lose EVERYTHING at the start of this whole thing #might as well level the playing field #his wife will definitely have a less drastic reaction. not her first rodeo. #still pretty drastic tho bc he was her ticket back to normalcy even if it led to a boring domesticated life #im sorry but those two can finally be happy later. some shit has to happen first. #i gotta trigger somebody's fight responses even tho 99% of the time he doesn't even trigger flight. it's freeze. boy needs some fight. #his girl already has it. her response to having a child was going back to her destroyed childhood home and burning it down #with her pyro ex bf who gives her a whole motivational speech to keep going while continuing to give her molotovs #he's a *great* influence #*if my characters don't have a sliver of chaotic energy then whats the point* #*SOMEBODY has to change the lawful good guy and I GUESS I'm doing it* #*looks back at their alignments* #we've got a chaotic evil. chaotic neutral x2. true neutral. lawful neutral. chaotic good. and the one lawful good. #and he's married to a chaotic neutral. #how does that even work? it does. this guy is just going to struggle with morality for a while #like most of these characters have a human kill count. except one who'd never be guessed. and obviously. this lawful good. #and he's about to get a tally #the one who somehow hasn't even tho with his character card you'd assume he'd have one. he won't. he's in his redemption arc
