[ it's been a difficult few weeks, and it feels almost like everyone's still trying to hold themselves together. there's a quiet hush over the unrest, which means that it's absolutely time to get some shit together. ]

Oh, hello.
Just a few thoughts that I've put together, I suppose- prior to my arrival here I had a rather good sense of the goings-on within the very fabric of reality. While I certainly can't indulge myself in such feats since I got here, I can say with confidence that the multiverse loves patterns. Something that's simple to predict. For instance, there are some of us here that seem to mirror a similar set of circumstances with one another while still coming from different universes. (See: Tony Stark and Stephen Strange.)
With that in mind, I thought that there simply must be something similar that links us all together in a thread of commonality.

Come now-
You all must have noticed.
Everyone's hot.

[ mystery solved.

it could be that he's just bored. ]

Yeah sorry I meant it in the nice way! You're a very handsome guy.

I wouldn’t have expected anything else from you. You have a kindly manner.

I met a man who looked every inch a king, once. And past that, he was one of the greatest swordsmen of his time. He was the son of a rich and powerful lord, a man who was Hand of the King twice over. But this swordsman, who looked like a king himself — he had been charged to guard his king, and he had murdered him instead. Nearly everyone calls him The Kingslayer now.

So no, I don’t think it matters. But I suppose it’s easier to be fair than foul. You’re far from foul, Coldwater.

Oh good, because I was like oh god I don't mean it like them at all, just giving a compliment!

I think most people would agree that personality has a lot to do with what makes someone attractive too. I've met some truly beautiful people who are cruel and cold, so they kind of seemed ugly afterward. And that is so nice of you thanks omg I am definitely not as 'fair' as you but I'm glad to be somewhere on the fair list.

That man I spoke of — he has a sister, a twin. A queen. She’s a beauty, all golden hair, but false, and cruel. It’s hard to think of her as anything else now. Hard to remember that she was so fair to look at when I was a green boy.

I’d say that you can judge someone by their friends, but some heads are turned by someone who’s easy to look at. Some don’t look any deeper than that.

I think it depends on what people are looking for. I've always been ride or die with my friends. That's a term for when you're like really loyal to the point where you'd do anything for someone you care about. But there's been some like acquaintances who aren't looking for a soul-changing platonic love affair, which I get. They just want to hang out, have a drink, talk about something shallow. And the same for relationships.

I used to get mocked a lot too when I was a green 'lad,' so I get it. Not about being pretty though, about liking books and not being good at sports.

You put me in mind of a friend I have at home. His name is Sam. He likes books and songs and hates hunting and fighting. When he came to Castle Black, the other boys used to beat him bloody, until I put a stop to it. The world needs all kinds of people — wise men as much as strong ones.

Ride or die, I like that. We say that we find our friends on the battlefield. True friends fight at your side, when they can, even if no one has a sword.

HE IS SO MUCH LIKE SAM TBH

[filloryfanatic]

It sounds like Sam and I are kin spirits. I used to get beaten up for it too, but I ended up being a badass magician and a king so, I basically won in that sense eventually. I still am not good at sports or fighting though.

I think that's true, for sure. Friends also are the people who like you for who you are, like you did for Sam, I'm sure he appreciated that.
