I'm fascinated by Forge/Storm in Lifedeath... definitely got Pygmalion vibes. I feel like I don't know much about Forge besides him being the Hephastus who builds everything when you need it lol. Power dampening collar? Ask Forge.
On another note, as a horse chick, I feel so seen lol.
There's something really compelling about their love story... not merely the tragedy of how it starts out, but just the romantic juxtaposition of Maker meeting Windrider... master of machines meeting the primeval mother nature...
I feel like they meet on some really beautiful symbolic ground where they both learn so much about themselves through the other, by opening up uncharted territories in one another. I'm sad they broke up. 😔
PS: I'm not a horse chick, but I really loved that scene. 😊
