I love quinn to death. bastard is really just like "I'm so careful and intelligent, ohohoho look at me, I only make smart safe choices, every risk I take is meticulously calculated, I'm a mastermind, I'm unstoppable" with 100% sincerity

and like yeah ok quinn is calculating and intelligent I guess but in terms of making good safe choices and calculated risks quinn is the fucking WORST

putting aside the fact that quinn is a blatant thrillseeker who only feels alive in varying degrees of mortal peril, quinn makes objectively stupid idiot decisions all the fucking time. quinn is faced with a problem and immediately hops to the most dangerous buckwild solution with zero regard for their own safety or the feelings of those around them

and then later will be like :) I calculated that risk :) why do you look so worried alex :) I OBVIOUSLY knew what I was doing :)

not even maliciously!!! like!! quinn has full faith in their own abilities!! quinn has no idea they're kind of a fucking dumbass

idk. devise a plan that involves kissing your deranged starving vampire boyfriend to make him flip out and lose control. kidnap some guy. chop his fingers off. confront people with no backup. bully a giant vampire hivemind into doing what you want with dynamite and bluffing and threats of mass murder. attempt to outsmart a fucking serial killer then drag them to some ominous fucking island as a snack for a vampire you are only like 13% sure won't eat you too. get stabbed in the neck. get garbled out and pilot your friends' bodies. loudly declare that backup plans are for losers who lack confidence and it's an insult to suggest you'll need one with how flawless and meticulous your initial plan is. fuck it. you're quinn cooper and death can't touch you

#so much of Quinn's survival can probably be attributed to just like #idk quinn being like ''alex I'm gonna do a thing'' and alex knowing it has no hope of talking them out of it so #it just lurks around on standby in case things go awry #for every time quinn pulls off some cool bonkers dangerous plan there's twice as many occasions where alex has to #yoink them out of mortal peril. alex is fuckinnnn tired alex puts up with a lot #also yeah the serial killer was for alex lmao #quinn targets alex mostly just for a challenge and cuz they're bored and want to see if they can pull it off #peak of quinn's ''don't really give a fuck if i die'' era :/#but yeah at one stage alex just kind of looks at its life and at the garble and goes ''hey. fuck this. i refuse to participate''#then goes off and completely isolates itself from all human contact #so yeah by the time quinn digs up enough dirt on alex to determine what its deal is #(and the fact that the closest thing to ''suitable prey'' for this guy that ur gonna get is basically just #''the literal worst of the worst scum of the earth bastard motherfuckers the human race has to offer'')#alex hasn't fed on a human for two and a half months #for reference most vampires can push it to four weeks maximum and even that is wildly impressive #alex does feed on animals so its period of starvation is not AS agonising as it could have been but still pretty fucking agonising #n quinn just rocks up unannounced with some other struggling human in tow while alex is on the brink of death and total loss of #control and quinn is just like hi I'm quinn nice to meet you <3 #n poor sweet alex in total agony and nearly dying of starvation is still just kind of like #very politely ''this is that guy from the newspaper right. is it okay if i eat him please''#like. bruh #anyway quinn pulls a lot of risky bullshit that would have gotten them killed with any other vampire #except it happens to be nat (adores quinn and will go to any length possible not to hurt them) or alex (fucking saintlike #levels of self-control. like what the fuck)#also yeah alex starvation and nat starvation cant really be compared #alex goes 2.5 months without fresh human blood but does still have access to some blood. plus has seven years of experience #as a vampire under its belt #nat goes two weeks. HOWEVER he is starved completely of all blood. plus he's only been a vamp for a very short while #so still experiences cravings much more intensely. also he's being actively fucking tortured at the time :)))#they both do good though even though quinn is acting like a fucking idiot
