my apologies for being late to this, I was trying to find every link I could to make a megathread to pin. I bookmarked all I could so I could compile this. don't be idle, not until there's a stop. I'll be adding news and overall updates beneath the links.
his own sentiment.
❝ you'd have to prove yourself, somehow. stop hating yourself so much, make some friends, live a little. however, i'm not sure i can risk you doing that. ❞
❝ ideas change. feelings change. stories change. nothing here is absolute, no matter how much they believe they are. i lost around twelve of my creations when the system purged them. this is, perhaps, one of the worst places to claim power. ❞
he nods, approving—
❝ this isn't fair! you did this to me! how — how was i ever supposed to survive if you didn't want me to?! ❞
her hatred for him is only amplified the more she thinks about all the times he could've saved her and chose not to.
❝ you can't do this to me! you can't! ❞
❝ i really hate to waste someone like you. you might come back later. you're one of my greatest works. you did everything i designed you to do. ❞
he stuck his staff out to her and gently bumped her forehead.
❝ you'll be okay. ❞
❝ ... so that's it? ... i'm just ... not important enough to you? isn't it 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 job to make me more important?! what did i do wrong?! what could i have possibly changed?! ❞
❝ all-powerful in most contexts, yes. all-powerful everywhere? no. there are still guidelines i need to act in. it would take many things to change for me to give you the first wish you made to me. ❞
001—SWANN shook his head, running a hand through his hair.

❝ that's a load of bullshit. it did not have to be this way. none of this had to be this way. 𝙔𝙊𝙐 did this to me! how — how is any of that supposed to happen?! aren't you all-powerful?! ❞
she interlocked her fingers and bit her lip.
gods, did she hate him.
❝ mm. it was always me. ❞
he took a seat on the ground beside her, sticking his staff into said ground. they never got along.
❝ this is how things had to be. ❞
hedwig grunted and another static laugh left her. of fucking course.
❝ ... it just had to be you, didn't it? ❞
this was another one of his cruel jokes.
she couldn't fight him. the most she could do is toss as much venom and hatred at him as possible.
