Nueng, the only son and heir of a mafia family, loved and nurtured and sheltered his whole life while acutely aware that his future is a foregone conclusion telling Palm, the boy who has had to work all his life, with a future that was as uncertain as the choppy waters he loves so much until his father signed his life over to protect another's son, that no one owns his life, does things to me.

#mostly makes me scream into my pillow #and post my incoherent thoughts here #but can you blame me #thinking about fathers and sons and legacies #the way fathers fuck up their sons' lives and minds #we see it with ben and chopper too #ugh i could write a novel about chopper #the dichotomy of duty and individual happiness #these teenagers screaming into the horizon for god to keep them safe while their own family hurts them in unimaginable ways #the way chopper and palm have so much compassion for others despite their families abandoning them #and despite the unfair hierarchies that structure their lives #crying brb #never let me go the series #got me in a chokehold #never let me go
