Mortal Enemies - Tumblr Posts

And I’m talking about ALL this and then some

You know what? I’m tired of hearing about soulmates.

Can I hear some commotion in the club for soul enemies? For destined rivals and loathing at first sight? For tearjerking tradegies about star-crossed nemeses and duos who both give it their all to destroy the other, yet can’t find the strength to carry on in their abscence? The twisted, poetic dance between two people that can’t even tell who they are anymore without their adversary- their forever opponent, and no one else’s. And the best part is how, even knowing that true victory and defeat both would throw all of this away, they will still keep playing that game to win. They’ll pursue that chase even when it means they may loose their ability to connect with the more reasonable, peaceful world around them. Because they wanted so badly for more than that, and they found someone who doesn’t only understand that part of them, but respects them for it- in fact, needs them for it just the same. For better or worse.

Sometimes I feel like when a villain gives a monologue to the hero, what they really mean is-

“Let me tell you about all of this work I’ve done and am proud of because I really don’t have anyone else to tell this to. I’m lonely. Please acknowledge my efforts and hard work.”

Because there is NO logical explanation to giving the hero the full explanation and an advantage to beat them if/when they escape any trap the villain has put them in.
