Trying to write a mini-essay on BloodBound's themes of killing and how even when reasonable usually only leads to perpetuating the cycle of violence, injustice and abuse and thus is only truly justified when doing so will bring the cycle to an end, with even instances of characters seeking vengeance only bringing cold, momentarily satisfaction but never true contentment, but it's so fucking hard to do so without sounding like a Christian

#like #an eye for an eye will not bring back your eye #you are entitled to demand retribution and deserve to hurt the one who hurt you #but what if it doesn't end there?#what if because you hurt them they hurt you back and then you hurt them and they hurt you again and so on so forth #what if you go beyond both end up going beyond that?#what if they end up hurting someone else to hurt you #what if you retaliate by hurting someone to cause them pain?#would all of that hurt been worth it in the end?#it's not framed in a way 'your eyes was just an eye' or 'all this hurt over just an eye'#you have been hurt and you deserve to hurt the person who hurt you #victims can't be compared to their abusers/tormenters/person who hurt them #and the latter is ofc responsible for everything #but when other innocents become involved and slowly become submerged into this cycle of hurt and start perpetuating it #it becomes more complicated #it's very fe-ti of bloodbound #playchoices #pixelberry #choices #bloodbound #it's 3am here i might change my thoughts on the matter tomorrow we will see
