[ META ] + death is inevitable / is death inevitable; mortality as a whole.

Cole Cass.idy has run from many things; but Death is not one of them. He's a little addicted to the thrill of it being close, breathing against his ears, a scythe's blade pressed cold and stinging against his neck. Coming alive on the other side, the adrenaline rush of overturning the tides with Just the Right Move, of beating the odds in a Giant, Spitting Fuck-You. It's brashness. In youth, it was full-on arrogance. It's the most affirming thing to Life & Living and he loves the challenge. Mortality has shaped him and his personality, driven his development to be resourceful and clever and colored his need to be as good as he is with his revolver.

He knows that his life won't last. You don't live on a farm without becoming acquainted with Death's inevitability. You don't come out of the remains of a war zone without leaving something behind (and he has left many corpses of himself behind, at the book-end of eras, of perpetual leaving-of-eden's and metaphorical tower tarots). He sees Death as a very natural thing and a part of life,

At the end of the day, he's left with a blasé, Whatever Happens, Happens attitude. In some ways, he is waiting for that inevitability to hit him: Never thought he'd hit 20, never thought he'd hit 25; the idea that he got to 30 and 35 is bizarre and bewildering (we thank our supports).

#hc: head up in the clouds;;#//ty for sending this in!!!! i feel bad that i gave like only 1 word prompts instead oml #//tbh i thought for a lil sec to expand on how kinda fucked up it is that his life belonged to bw; how while he accepts that u cant pick #//and choose how and when and where u will die (and as a kid he sort of resented that)#//that like;;; literally bw was employing some 17 yr old kid and pointing him in a direction and was like #//'u will die for us'#//not that gabe or his teammates would've actually let him die but like #//i made a post abt how rope = lasso; rope = noose and it's kinda applicable here #//[insert imagery here of bending the knee and kneeling and bowing the head]#//[insert how this is the imagery of being both anointed and being executed; with sword pressed against the shoulders]#//insert further that he WOULD probably in fact be impaled by his own sword; Peacekeeper hovering over his head or pressed against the nape #//if the world called for him to die - he would give it a good fight still trying to bring light to it #//and he wouldn't make it easy - lmao do not go gentle into that good night y'all [peace sign]#//he doesn't have self-worth issues but he recognizes he's only 1 regular ol' Guy and his place is to die someplace somewhere #//and he's like 'yknow what that's ok'#//he'd love to see Home as he died - but that shit's a Luxury #//??? u like how i have a whole post to write my ramblings on but then i proceed to destroy the tags instead
