what's the theme you're fucking going for here voliiii!!! what are you fucking getting at!!! what are you trying to say, what's the point??
#still working on this drama chapter in Swept Up. they're. confusing to work with? from an empathy standpoint at least.
#skill who is trying to honestly understand the other skills VS skill who is just always lying and putting on an act.
#and then theres the whole thing that im not going to spoil yet but the dynamic. fuck man. i dont even know what im trying to say here
#lying is bad? no i dont care about that. honest communication is important maybe? i feel like i need a central theme for this.
#and i dont want the theme to be ''empathy good'' because low-empathy people are also good and i love them!! and also:
#empathy is a flawed character!! i try to portray this. i dont like moralism/centrism which empathy believes in and is the main skill for
#empathy you stupid centralist (affectionate) i know this is just because you don't know how to make everyone happy. who can fix this?
#you dont think you can fix this! you feel too much debilitating sadness to make meaningful change!! responsibilite to others more capable
#still. i do depict empathy as often kind on a small level because i think that's in character. empathy just helps you understand.
#i guess this fic is also a ''empathy doesn't mean kindness. kindness is a choice you can make afterwards but empathy just means empathy''
#but that's not a centralizing theme that all the chapters share. its also about vulnerability and the mortifying ordeal of being known
#urgh. i'll think about it some more. knowing me its probably another ''love (in all forms) is the meaning to life'' type story lmao <3
#i need to make a skill chart for this harry. all i know is that Volition is his skill signature but Empathy is his highest stat
#hyper-empathetic harry with the rsd that comes from adhd!! haha!! suffering. everybody fucking hate you. this is based on me btw lmao
#i was working on voli's chapter which has a flashback and child empathy! new to the mindspace looking out through harry's eyes and crying
#the world is full of sad people and it's just too much for a lil guy! the backstory i have planned for this like. huh okay. wild. anyway!!
#oh shit ive made a fucking breakthrough with the drama chapter. its not a theme but its something i figured out at least. we stay winning!!
