I fully believe Johnny thinks he's straight because he doesn't know bisexuality exists

Personally, I hate when people say that Merlin is king of the druids. Merlin isn't meant to be a king. He's meant to serve. Serve Arthur. Serve magic. Serve the earth beneath his feet and the waters falling from the skies. He gives and sacrifices and fuels the world around him.

King is objectively Arthur's role, and I think making Merlin a ruler of another people kind of dampens that. Merlin would not be king of the druids, he would be on his knees and beg and convince those with magic to follow his king. Even if Merlin is a god, he will always hold Arthur up high upon his shoulders. Worship him in my stead.

The streets—they don’t make sense.

They all curve in such peculiar ways.

And the houses… how would you know which blue one?

There are thirty shades of it.

Anyway, which limb was it? Your long left arm, covered in silly tattoos?

Or the right calf—the one with all the cramps?

Which one do you prefer?

I want my atria back. You can keep my right hand.

No use for it if I can’t feel yours in mine anymore anyway.

I’ll meet you at the prussian blue house then, the one filled with all your thoughts—where you always seem to go.

I just hope I don’t get lost.

Dad, let's go on vacation somewhere! You've been couped up in this study for far too long it's become like a grave!! Where do you want to go? Who will come with us? And what would be the first thing you would do to RELAX?

Here’s an improved version of your text:

Adonis arched a grey brow, his tone edged with a sharp lack of amusement. “You take issue with my study?” he asked, his voice low and measured. “I find it a most satisfactory escape from this world.”

His gaze swept over the towering bookshelves that encased him, their presence both imposing and comforting. Papers sprawled across the oaken desk before him in what might appear to others as chaos—but it was his chaos, carefully cultivated and familiar.

“Call it a grave if you must, child,” he continued, his eyes narrowing slightly. “I would gladly be buried among these tomes than waste a moment on some whimsical beachfront or any other frivolous distraction.”

More things I didn’t discover until my 10th playthrough:

When Ashley wakes up at the beginning of chapter 14

you know like

when Leon is sitting on the floor at her bedside, and he’s winded and his vision is blurring and he’s actively planning his suicide and probably wondering at what point he should actually pull the trigger so that he does it before he turns, and he’s very likely just hoping and praying that Ada will actually come through for him post-mortem and get Ashley home in his stead

yeah so like when she wakes up during that

and Leon’s name is the first thing out of her mouth? She doesn’t just say his name. She also puts a hand on his shoulder

and that’s when he perks up and gets up and his symptoms suddenly all vanish and I want to fuckgin throw up now that I’ve noticed it.

I’ve talked before about how Ashley is Leon’s anchor to reality, but that is actually literally true in this instance. When Leon sat down and flipped his gun around and pulled the slide back, he was checking to make sure that a round was chambered. Then he takes a deep, steadying breath.

This happens just after his suppressant wore off, and there was no way for him to know when Ashley was going to wake up. It could’ve been hours. And by then, it would’ve been too late for him.

He was checking for a round in the chamber so that he could use it on himself if it came down to it.

Canonically, this isn’t the first time he's considered suicide. In RE6, he admits that he considered it (”a few times, actually”) while still in Raccoon City, and also just after escaping. So, when he’s sitting there at Ashley’s bedside, he isn’t considering suicide with a “I hope it doesn’t come to this” mentality -- it’s more of a “It was probably always going to end like this anyway” one.

And I can say that with confidence because it’s the closest he ever gets to actually turning (prior to his hallucinations at the very end of chapter 15) -- and it seems to be entirely self-inflicted. On some level, mentally, he’s already given up.

But then it’s her touch and her voice that clears his vision, steadies his breathing, chases away the pain and weakness that caused him to sit in the first place, and even brings a smile to his face. Suddenly, he’s fine. And he doesn’t have another fit like that again, outside of Saddler deliberately causing one.

And I just

I think about that in tandem with how bad his mental health gets later in the series -- how dark his depression gets in some canon installments, how profoundly his trauma manifests, and how he tries to self-medicate with liquor until it turns into a problem that just gets worse and worse and worse as the years go by.

And I just have to wonder if he’d have ever gotten that bad if he hadn’t walked away from Ashley at some nebulous point after RE4.

The abusive [partner]’s problem with anger is almost always the opposite of what is commonly believed. The reality is:

YOUR ABUSVE PARTNER DOESN’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANGER. [They have] A PROBLEM WITH YOUR ANGER.

One of the basic human rights [they] take from you is the right to be angry at them.

The gendered language really marks the book out as being 22 years old, but there are some very good insights in it - this one, in particular.

I actually need some fanfic, where Bruce and Jason are in the middle of some argument, and a casual (and a well-practiced with Dick before) sentence leaves his mouth, something along the lines "How old do you think you are?!", meaning that he is acting childishly. And because Jason is irritated, and his tongue runs loose in his anger, he screams back that he is nineteen, and Bruce just freezes, because... Oh. Jason is nineteen. He is a fucking kid - his kid - that lost years of his teenhood, and was forced back without anyone giving him a space to catch up, with everyone else already treating him like an adult... When he isn't.

"Dick Grayson is the mentally stable one of the Batfamily"

Ah yes, the same Dick Grayson who literally every time a particularly unpleasant event happens his most normal "coping method" is HALLUCINATIONS.

"Dick Grayson, the multiversal constant," yes, just like his hallucinations are Dick's constant in every freaking universe.
