Hypnos will do literally anything in TGW and then sit back with a pleased grin while the world falls apart around them, like “Yes. I am going to get a good grade in friendship, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve”

Maybe for girls made of snow, love was worth the melt. But she was made of stolen bones and sleek fur, grave dirt and strange blood—her heart wasn’t even hers to give. Her soul was all she had, and no love was worth losing it.

Gilded Wolves Character’s Fav Netflix Shows
Severin
He’d relate a little too hard and wouldn’t want anyone to know he enjoyed animation so he’d erase it from his watch history every time.
Enrique
Bro’s sense of humor is so under appreciated. He’d play it for his students on April Fools.
Tristan
Imagine him sitting with his knees to his chest just like enraptured.
Laila
Girlie has great taste, I know it in my bones. (Projecting too👀)
Zofia
Fire. Duh. She would binge it all in one day and hyper-fixate on it. Very strong options about who should’ve won.
Hypnos
The drama, the scandal. He auditioned for this without a doubt.

4/20 Queer Book Draw Challenge: Enrique Mercado-Lopez from the Gilded Wolves Trilogy
[ID: An illustration of Enrique as both a child and adult. In the front, child Enrique kneels on the ground to closely examine a golden bug on a leaf, hand hesitantly outstretched. In the back, adult Enrique tentatively reaches to the wall of the cave of obsidian crystals from Bronzed Beasts. Child Enrique is lit by pale yellows, while adult Enrique is mostly in cool purple shadow. Both are holding books and wearing expressions of captivated wonder. The words "tabi-tabi po" are color burned into the background. End ID.]

I don’t think that reading “See? It’s not so bad… you don’t have to fly.” will never not break me. Tristan who wished to be enough for his brother, wished their life together was enough. “It’s not so bad,” he says to featherless birds, “you don’t have to fly” he tells them because he can’t say it to Sevérin.
He can’t control his brother’s actions, can’t make him stop reaching for the clouds, can’t make him see reason, but he can control the birds. He takes away a part of them, forces them to adapt to a life never meant for them, but it’s okay. They’ll learn life on land isn’t so bad. He strips them of their livelihoods, but makes them a part of the worlds he loves. Is that not love too?

My life, and whatever is left of it, will not be what his soul gnaws on to regain its strength. My death is not in service to his character, and I will not be a sacrifice simply for him to find peace of mind. He is not my responsibility to save.
