we need to make more bear trap or barbed wire or something metaphors about Bond and his sense of duty/obligation
when u've lived ur whole life wrapped in thorns so you mistake the bite of cruel barbs for a lover's gentle kiss
#or like. another var I couldn't get to work was sth like when uve lived ur whole life wrapped/choked/held up by barbed wire (or thorns ig)#and u mistake its choking/suffocating squeeze for a lover's embrace. or sth like#u mistake the vines/wires holding you up as being there to help/support you#vs you are impaled there like a shrike's prey on a thornbush#idk you can see how there are like too many ideas/possibilities here and I couldn't coalesce one like one vision#so it's all very messy#but yea I think we can do more. fox caught in a beartrap. w Bond#he's dragged that beartrap w him for so long he doesn't know how to exist without it and has gotten used to the bite of it#and conversely releasing it (or the vines. or the barbed wire) is reactivating nerves he thought dead#and so it feels like undoing it is actually doing more damage#when rly it's like. you may need to temporarily tighten the noose in order to be able to get the knife under it to cut you free#(think like those sea lions that get tangled in fishing wire and the wire cuts cruelly into its neck)#(and the rescuers have to tension it to get under to cut the sea lion free)#okay yea. send post#concept dump
