oh pallas and agnes power dynamic you really are SO unbelievably fucked,,,,,
#havenā€™t been able to write in days so i am posting instead. forgive me.#itā€™s just so. like. okay pallas has all of the material power here thatā€™s not a question theyā€™ve got much stronger magic they#know how the library works theyā€™re directly placed in a mentorship role at the beginning re agnes she depends on them#for everything.#but also#pallas is very much Not Doing Well mentally (<- understatement of the century) and is pathologically incapable of processing their own#emotions related to this AT ALL. and in the process of trying very very hard to get to Know pallas (so pallas will Like her so pallas will#want to keep her alive) agnes kind of comes to understand a lot of pallasā€™s issues even better than pallas does and pallas starts to depend#on her for emotional support in a way they NEVER have with anyone else.#and pallasā€™s ability to show vulnerability has been soooo wrecked beyond belief that to them doing things like sharing part#of their backstory and being visibily hurt around someone is tantamount to placing a knife in someoneā€™s hand and#then circling all of their weak points with a giant red marker while going ā€˜HEY STAB HEREā€™#so in their mind by doing this theyā€™re giving agnes an IMMENSE amount of power over them like enough to kill them dead even though very#little else has changed about their dynamic. so pallas believes that theyā€™re standing on much more equal ground then they really are#and agnes partly believes it too she thinks that by seeing this much of how broken down pallas is sheā€™s finally found the balance in their#relationship sheā€™s finally found a way to make it stable. and yeah. to some extent this is true!#pallas DOES listen to agnes more than any other person agnes IS the first person in years to understand them this much pallasā€™s dependence#on her for their mental wellbeing DOES give her some measure of power over them. but that power is given out on pallasā€™s terms is the thing#whether theyā€™re aware of that or not. agnes wouldnā€™t have anything if pallas didnā€™t actively choose to be vulnerable with her thereā€™d be#no way sheā€™d learn about anything no way sheā€™d get to play this role in their life#they believe that this thing is much more equal much more sustainable than it really is (pallas especially) and theyā€™re#literally all each other have#grabs your face are you listening THEYRE ALL EACH OTHER HAVE IN THIS PLACE THEYRE BOTH IN SUCH HORRIFIC SITUATIONS AND THEY R EATING#EACHOTGER TO SURVIVE!!!!#head in fucking hands#wip: ghost story#pallas and agnes
