characters who dig themselves out of their graves (whether literal or metaphorical) are at the top of the list. nothing beats a character who should have died but didn't and comes back to haunt their own life and the world around them, benevolent or violent it doesn't matter, it's enthralling either way
i know the end, phoebe bridgers // the course of empire - destruction, thomas cole // the second coming, w.b. yeats // the last day of pompeii, karl bryullov // heretic pride, the mountain goats // the seventh plague of egypt, john martin // all eyes on me, bo burnham // the destruction of sodom and gomorrah, john martin // that funny feeling, bo burnham
it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.
i LOVE the idea of "i can't win, but you can lose" in fictional confrontations it is SO fucking tasty. the human nature to self destruct and the human nature to survive by any means necessary combined at its finest.
prophet girl, cursed daughter.
