@starsburned asked :
"They told me angels can only be found in divine places so I must've found it when I saw you." It doesn't take Dazai long to approach Eden, hand outstretched and dark eyes appraising her features. It's then that his hand reaches out to take hers, smiling and tracing her palm with his index finger. His eyes drop as well, speaking gently and sweetly, "such delicate hands... it would be a pleasure to die by them."
unprompted. || always accepting
─「エデン」─ angels ? that was the first of someone referring to her as something so DIVINE. the trailblazer was a force of destruction, after all, especially with the STELLARON sealed inside of her. she hardly could view herself as anything pure, or anything delicate. she was a fighter, scars and scratches littered her body like tattoos, marking her once flawless skin up with battle wounds.
why did he treat her so gently ? like she was something PRECIOUS. didn't he witness what she did ? the way she eliminated those in her path ? why wasn't he ... afraid ? he should be scared, shouldn't he ? she was — a force to be feared. ( was she talking about herself or the stellaron ? both. )
" i'm no angel. " even though she saved him. that was why she fights, after all. not to destroy, not to take lives, but to SAVE them. her fingers twitched softly within his grasp, yet she made little to no effort to pull away. it was ... tender. sweet. she didn't want to hurt these hands, she didn't want to hurt him. her gloved digits curled around his own, a quiet squeeze.
" i'd be damned if i hurt you with these hands. " the amber in her eyes swirled quietly. she'd never forgive herself if she brought him harm, let alone DEATH. so why did he look so peaceful, so content to say that ? i'd like to die by your hands, he implied. why would you trust me with that ? i'm not worth it.
" won't you let me protect you, instead ? "

So far in BG3 I have two save files and two Tavs, Elio and Lilac. Elio is between acts 1 and 2 (just got done at the créche and monastery,) and Lilac is very early act 1, i haven’t even gotten to the grove with her. Elio is a tiefling draconic bloodline sorcerer, and is a nice and competent young man who rolls decently and helps people where he can. Lilac is a drow bard who once rolled so shittily that I had to reload my save file because I accidentally killed Gale.

What really pisses me off when people are like. No child should be friends with an adult; it’s (insert word/phrase that has been misused so much it’s kinda ceased to have meaning to me anymore) is… My older friends? Even though I’m 28 and yknow. An Adult. Have literally saved my life. Like not only do they have more knowledge about how things work (like Medicaid and food stamps and student loans and resumes and and and all the other shit nobody bothers to teach you and can be hella confusing/nearly inaccessible unless you Know but is hella important/can really fuck up your life if you’re not careful) and like…more experience so when they tell you “it’s gonna be hard, but you can handle it” or “I know it looks scary, but it’s not that bad and I promise you’ll get through it” or “it doesn’t matter if don’t graduate college, look at me. I didn’t. I’ve got a stable, well paying job. It’s not impossible to be comfortable without a college degree. And look at (other friend who is sitting right next to them), they worked their ass off for a double degree and currently not using it! You’ll be okay, you’ll figure it out.” your brain can actually believe them cuz yknow. They’ve been where you are. They have that life experience. And they’re not gonna lie to you because they love you and respect you too much to do that.
Like I don’t want to make it sound like friendship is a commodity, but older friends and intergenerational friendships can be so extremely valuable, especially to vulnerable younger people in abusive households. And I don’t even mean like in that they can offer you a place to crash cuz not every friend is gonna be able to do that and that’s OKAY. But maybe they can still help you in other ways. Even if it’s “just” holding your hand and validating your fears while you cry your eyes out but reassuring you that they believe in your ability to work through it. They believe in *you*. (And yes, I REALLY appreciate the same sentiment from friends my age and it’s also extremely helpful and I love them so very much. But it just sorta hits in a different way coming from an older friend. Not in a way that’s better or worse. Just different.)
Also something something seeing that you have a future when you can’t see past the next year or six months is just. So fucking reassuring.
Also. Older friends are just plain fun. I love my older friends and my life would be so much poorer without them. So yknow. Fuck people that condemn intergenerational friendships.
Also also something something something ‘fuck you for making me feel terrible/paranoid about wanting to offer my own experience to those younger than me. To help them in any way I can. As another fantastic and dearly beloved friend says. “If you start sounding like my mental illness, YOU are the problem and maybe need to re-evaluate some things.”’
