By all you hold sacred, by all you hold dear, by your love that is lost, by your hope that lives, for the sake of the Almighty, take me out of this and SAVE MY SOUL FROM GUILT! Can’t you hear me, man? DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND? Will you never learn? Don’t you know that I am sane and earnest now, that I am no  l u n a t i c  in a mad fit, but a sane man                                               FIGHTING FOR HIS SOUL?

so, i’m working on my thesis, i have classes, trying to study,,,

i’m being tested for connective tissue disorders, i need my circulatory system checked for crap you get with those, i’m seeing an occupational therapist (which is already a killer), and i found out yesterday i have an antibody you get usually with autoimmune hepatitis, so i need my liver checked asap.

so i’m really not feeling great in general physically or mentally. writing has basically been the last thing on my mind. i’m having a terrible time slogging through everything, and a bit upset, so i’m not willfully neglecting anyone. if you read this, i love you and hope you’re having a good day / night / etc. <3

GREN KNOWS HE GOT WHAT HE DESERVED WHEN BEOWULF   ,     WELL    ,    WRECKED HIM    .    no    ,    he doesn’t think he’s misunderstood or anything like that    .    doesn’t think he didn’t deserve it    .    beowulf upheld and did exactly what he would have done    :     got revenge    .     he used to hate humans   ,    actually    ,     for casting creatures like him away    .     for making monsters of them when they   ,     once    ,     it is said    ,    made great warriors    .     he resented human war    ,     resented the senselessness of it    ,    the loss of resources    ,    the treatment of women as bargaining chips    .    but    ,    yeah     ,      MAYBE barging into heorot was a little too much    !     but he knows that now and does actively try to be a bit better      .      not a lawful good by any means    ,     no     ,      but sometimes he tries    .

concept   :    tissue fragility is a huge thing with connective tissue disorders   .   what if that’s …  part of grendel’s problem … he’s super easy to sublux or completely dislocate. partly he’s a seriously overpowered apex hunter, but on the other hand (no pun intended), if you know what you’re doing, good luck to him  .

not a reason why gren hates beowulf: he’s a hero that rightfully and virtuously took his revenge.

a reason why gren hates beowulf: fought his mother and won
