how to love a god:
i.
stay away from him. legends
are never boys. gods
were never people. gods
do not love.
ii.
despise him. who does he
think he is? the proud jaw,
those seaborne arms,
fleeting sparrow-feet
planted on the earth as if
the world belonged to him?
iii.
watch. the quick turn of
mouth, the gold of his hair backlit
against the sun shining like a halo.
if you get too close he’ll burn you
to ash. if you get too close
he’ll destroy you.
iv.
watch him watch you.
v.
when he kisses you back
hold your breath. do not breathe.
you are only a small and foolish boy
chasing the tail of a meteor
destined for the heavens. if
you breathe, you will burn.
vi.
making love to him feels
like building a home, doesn’t it?
here, the oars of his shoulders.
here, the temple of his thighs.
here, his mouth whispering
your name in worship.
vii.
when the war comes
watch his laughter grow cold and
his hands tender themselves red.
that is a statue in your bed.
that is a man turned to stone
from ten thousand stares.
viii.
you put on his clothes on
to save him from himself.
you put his clothes on
to spend your last breath
inside him again.
ix.
you know what will happen
and you do it anyway.
you burn because this is what
it means to love. this is what
it means to fly.
x.
recall the tale of Icarus.
choose to be Icarus.

Apparently “spite” is not an ‘appropriate answer’ to “What motivates you?”
But that’s the truth most of the time

Things I love about the “villain turns good” trope:
- Ex-villains graduating to “weird uncle” status.
- Ex-villains and hero(es) turning the events of previous battles into bizarre inside jokes.
- Ex-villains embracing the power of friendship and love.
- Ex-villains putting up walls and keeping to themselves until the heroes teach them what it means to trust someone.
- Ex-villains messing up and being forgiven because redemption is a process, not an endgame.
- Ex-villains being shy and uncertain about their new place as a hero.
- Bonus: Ex-villains hiding behind their hero friends during moments of shyness and uncertainty.
- Ex-villains being tempted back to the dark side only to realize how much their newfound friendships mean to them.
- Ex-villains pretending to return to the dark side, and using their villain cred to be a mole/saboteur on the heroes’ behalf.
- Ex-villains taking the same skills and character traits that made them effective villains and using them for good.
- Ex-villains defeating current villains by being better at those skills and traits than they are.
- Ex-villains being rejected by almost everyone except the very few willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
- Ex-villains being ferociously protective of those few.
- Ex-villains convincing old allies and friends to follow them to the light side.
- Ex-villains helping their hero friends through guilt and self-doubt by reminding them that your mistakes don’t make you and it’s never too late to turn things around.
- Ex-villains receiving unconditional trust and affection from someone small and innocent, and having no idea what they’re supposed to do with that.
- Ex-villains reuniting with heroic loved ones that they don’t have to fight against anymore.
- Ex-villains looking around at their new friends and their new home and having to sit down and ride out a sudden wave of powerful emotion because they can’t remember the last time they felt content.

fun character exercise; which of your OC’s would chug a bottle of liquor rather than give it to airport security
