Finn - On Love

Is this written in the POV of the character? Yes

What is Love to you?

Love, huh? Can’t quite say, really. Do you mean to ask about Eros? Or perhaps Filial?

Yes, yes I’m deflecting, but what am I supposed to say to this question? That “love is both feeling and action and to claim so necessitates you to show it lest you’re proven to be lying?”

…

I answered the question, didn’t I? Whatever, in the end, regardless of the type of love, I wager that to be true. Love is irrational in a sense that one needs no argument for something to appear. But to prove its existence, one needs to show it however they could. Because then, all that’s left is a feeling that may not be love.

How Are you when you’re in Love

Well, gee, what am I supposed to answer? It’s not like I fell “in love” before.

…Alright, alright. I’ll try. You’re talking about romantic love, I reckon. That’s usually what people mean when they ask these questions.

Now, romantic love. I… think it’ll be like something I can’t quite put down. It might be like an obsession of sorts, like a spark of interest that remains in the back of my head, bothering me incessantly as I do just about anything.

It’ll probably feel rather insane, in a way. Like I’ll ruminate over the feeling, dream about what ifs, and the like. Will I do anything about it? Probably not. Hell, I won’t be able to tell if it’s love or obsession by that point.

And, well, if I can’t tell, then it’s not really love now, is it?

Ugh, whatever. This question is annoying. Next.

Habits

…Habits? Really? Well if we’re talking about habits with a romantic partner… I don’t know. Sitting in silence, maybe. Or arcade trips. It’s been a while since I last went.

Between Your Family and Your Lover, Who Would They You?

Well, since my lover is currently null, then family it is. Though it’s not like I’m that close to them either. Ah well, at least you get an answer.

What if I have a lover? Well then there are a multitude of factors before I could even choose. If I were to have a partner, would they stay forever? Are they a huge part of my life? Will I be able to function without them? Will I be financially secure with their continued existence?

Will my family be understanding about it? Will they accept me for who I am? Will they leave me be for once in my fucking life?

…Ah. I’m rambling.

Between You and Your Lover, Who Would You Choose?

@urfriendlywriter on tumblr

Seeing that once again I have no lover, I’d choose myself.

…Not satisfied? Jeez, tough crowd. Unfortunately for you, my answer remains the same.

(Then again, if I had to choose in the first place, then there must be conflict between this lover and I. And if conflict arises, then surely it must be my fault, right?)

A Gun on Their Hand, Pointed at Their Beloved.

What is the sudden escalation? Goodness gracious give me a break.

I can’t imagine being forced into this scenario outside it being a hostage scenario. But it’s not like I’m involved in any underground dealings for it to matter. In fact, it’s more likely that I’ll be the hostage, really.

But if it comes down to it, and I can choose where to point the muzzle, it’ll either be somewhere fatal or near harmless. Under the condition I have to point the gun to my lover, and that I have to kill them, then it’s the heart or the temple. A quick death would be better, really. But if I can leave them alive, the leg should be a safe bet.

Look, the most I know about the circulatory system is that avoid the wrists since blood pressure is quite high there. Which kind of implies “avoid major arteries” which is totally fair as it avoids massive blood loss and ensures oxygenated blood still flows throughout the body.

…

Do I feel anything? Well, yes? Panic, for one. I can’t aim a gun for shit. Also, I’m a civilian with no experience in high-risk scenarios like these. Of course I’ll feel like shit.
