Anyone else ever get through most of a fic then realise that there is literally no way you can post it without being eviscerated by fandom from every angle?
ruthi: the bit I am having trouble with is Erik putting the entire blame for killing his mother on Schmidt. that strikes me as peculiarly healthy. He doesn't blame himself?]
delilah des anges: he doesn't in the film
ruthi: okay
ruthi: Anger solves everything
delilah des anges: he is angry and hurt and he wants revenge and he wants to be able to trust his people but they won't put his needs first and he cares more about revenge than he does about them. all he cares about is revenge.
delilah des anges: anger is safe
ruthi: and clarifies much
delilah des anges: anger protects him
delilah des anges: this is what schmidt has done to him
ruthi: He needs so much protection
delilah des anges: he has made him angry forever
delilah des anges: no so much by killing his mother but by teaching him anger is your only hope
ruthi: okay, that makes sense
ruthi: In anger is protection and power
ruthi: Anger is the way and the light.
delilah des anges: this is something I understand very clearly I'm afraid.
ruthi: This is why Erik is yours.
delilah des anges: yeah.
delilah des anges: and why I will probably fuck this up
