that's not the shape of my heart

[lyingheart]

It's been three months since the last time we did one of these, so without further ado, after some coding tweaks, I give to you... a Mask or Menace Heart Meme!

SUGGESTED USE
1. Post a blank comment for your character.
2. Reply to other people's blank comments with your character's hearts to their character! This can be IC, or can be OOC.
3. This is a mobile friendly heart meme, which means no hovertext! Customize your hearts with the text included in the code for each heart instead.
4. ???
5. PROFIT!

What do you mean?

[lyingheart]

Can you really say you don't know?

[purgation]

It's different. For him, it isn't already too late.

i like that icon /apropos of nothing

[lyingheart]

Then explain it to him. He has to make his own decisions in the end... you can help make them better informed ones. He's talked to me about wanting to pick up a gun to learn how to use it, how to be ready to kill, but he doesn't know what he'd even be killing for. Help him find the tools to use that don't rely on frightened fingers pulling down on triggers because he doesn't know how to make the bad things stop.

merci~ haha

[purgation]

What did you tell him? When he spoke to you about wanting to learn...that.

[lyingheart]

Outside of violence not being the only answer?

[ have a ghost of a smile. ]

That there's more to being prepared than knowing how to shoot a gun, or worthless things like that. That there are other ways to protect himself. That there's as much worth and importance in helping make sure people get what they need where they need it, from information to supplies, as knowing how to hold a line. It's not weakness, not wanting to kill. Not being prepared for it.

[ not when that's not your job. ]

He doesn't want to be a solider. He needs to remember that.

[purgation]

Thank you, Annie.

[It is always good to know that the respect he has for you is not misplaced.]

[lyingheart]

Don't.

[purgation]

Hm?

[lyingheart]

Thank me for speaking with common sense.

[purgation]

That is hardly the reason for my gratitude.

[lyingheart]

I don't particularly want gratitude from you for anything.

[purgation]

Don't be petulant.

Besides, my reason is not likely to be something you would dispute. I am grateful to you for having Jayden's best interests at heart.

That is all.

[lyingheart]

[ petulant gets a quirking of her eyebrows. it's not childish to want nothing to do with gratitude from a man who'll discuss how she should die for her sins and he'll see about getting to know her after the resurrection. ]

You don't really understand why I don't want to accept your gratitude, do you.

[ fine. she looks past him. ]

I don't want him to have the regrets I do. Maybe even the ones you have.

[purgation]

[They will never see eye-to-eye, will they?]

No, I suspect I care as much about understanding your reasons as you do for accepting my gratitude. We're at a standstill.

[He gestures with his hands, implying their situation is helpless. Agree to disagree? It appears to be the only way to move forward.]

You should know by now—I do not have regrets. Nevertheless, I will see to it that Jayden never shoulders the same regrets you do.

[lyingheart]

[ No... no, they really never will. Though she can accept agreeing to disagree. The world isn't such a place as to be unified on any one subject - let alone finding people to come to see on even terms in all that they do. ]

None that you'll let yourself consider, at least.

[ Unless he is just that much of a sociopath choosing to go on toward psychotic and totally dissociative. In which case, godspeed, Yuri, you're on your own. ]

Do what you can.

[ Don't end up creating anything like you. ]
