Arthur Bennet - Tumblr Posts

///the suckening spoilers

thinking about arthur bennet and the twins. how a century ago the lives of one set of twin were robbed by his own hands, and how he might have inadvertently brought the lives of another set of twins together now.

thinking about how arthur would look at shiloh and emizel and wonder how his twins would have looked like if they had had the opportunity to grow up. would they have bickered and bounced off each other the same way these two do? would they have been very similar people or drastically different like how shiloh and emizel contrasted each other?

thinking about how arthur has an indifferent, almost cold exterior towards the twins, and yet he sticks around. says it's because deacon told him to, but deep down he knows better. he doesn't want to admit it but he knows it's because this was his second chance to be the big brother he never really got to be

and he still fucks it up anyways

thinking about how arthur abandons the twins to go to london. how in the short span of a day the twins had gotten into far more chaos than he would have liked. how none of it might have happened if he had been around (or maybe he wouldn't have been able to prevent any of it anyways because he can hardly rein them in)

thinking about how arthur would have looked at the wall covered in poker cards in the hotel room that was set up by the twins. how he would have been thinking about how naive and young they still were. how reckless and zealous they still were.

and how jaded he was now

thinking about how arthur clashed with the twins in the midnight circle. how different their goals and personality were, and yet they got out of it together. how if they hadn't succeeded, he might have lost another set of twins

thinking about how arthur would have looked at the twins at the end of the cullen games. at emizel who had let go of the idealistic thoughts he had about vampirism. at shiloh who had lost his innocence and realised the consequences of his actions.

and i wonder if arthur thinks this is still his path to guide them through the ways of being a vampire, in all its grim reality and fucked up-ness.

because although he lost so much of it, the twins might be his last tether to humanity.
