#100% thinking of angsty h/c au ideas for some of my favorite sword waving idiots - Zoro and Ichigo

[greyskyflowers]

Thinking about swordsman who know they're going to lose control of themselves, be put under illusions/experience hallucinations, or be under the control of someone else.

Thinking about that split second between knowing what's going to happen and it happening. The understanding that there's a good chance they're going to hurt people, probably someone they really care about.

Thinking about swordsman who break their own fingers or wrists because they know how dangerous they are, how much damage they could do. They know that even if they're not stopped by the pain, broken fingers can't grip a sword right and broken wrists won't support the weight of one well.

They can only hope that it gives the people around them a better chance of taking them down.

@blackcat2907 👀 this could be zoro or mihawk. either one would be delightfully angsty
