My post-writing epiphany this morning: I think I unconsciously drew inspiration from that one scene in Grendel where Beowulf is shoving Grendel up against a wall and yelling at him “THIS IS A WALL, FEEL THE WALL, IT IS REAL” (my terrible paraphrasing), a.k.a. the first bit of yaoi fanfic I ever consumed. (I do not know if it was intended to be yaoi, but I was in high school and it made me feel things. And weirdly I do not think my English teacher at the time would have minded me bringing up the perceived sexual tension as long as I could do it with appropriate text support.)
I don’t really remember what the point was of that scene, although I’m fairly sure it was meant to be more philosophical, but that is the primary impression I am left with. And I think I channeled that energy in my writing last night. …It’s going well.
