sorry.

[that's... just how it is, he thinks. if odin decides after this that archie isn't who he thought he was and he isn't interested in knowing him anymore, then... he'd have to live with it.]

no

[...he doesn't have the heart to tell odin he doesn't like this world for the same reason he fell into villainy in his own, and that that in itself is a slippery slope.]

at the very least i know maxie is from the timeline where i tried to stop him and he was the one that went batshit
instead of the other way around
even if i don't trust myself, i trust my friends to tell me i'm being a shithead. especially maxie, because he knows what to look out for more than anyone.

No, I mean - so much of you is good. I know you can't see it, but-- you are. To me.
I wish I could make you understand that, but I know what it's like, being unable to judge yourself when there's so much wrong at your back.
It's kind of funny that you've never condemned me for the things I've done.

[ though - he understands why archie might hold back on being harsh with him, if that ever happens. with how quick odin is to internalize things and dwell on them, people treat him like glass, sometimes. he hates it. ]

It's just,

A lot of your answers don't sound like what I would expect to hear, from someone destined to fall back into the old habits you've fallen back into once before.
If you were to ever value the pain of others higher, again, than you do right now - you would lose a lot.
I don't think you want to lose what you have.
And I don't think any of us are going anywhere any time soon.

[hey odin have you tried not being so shit at existing? that might help!!

though the true reason why archie is never harsh with anyone unless they earn his ire is because he feels he has no place to judge.]

i won't
i can't
just
thinking about it makes me sick

[shadowglitter]

[ cold? ]

That fear and that sickness is going to stop you from treading over old mistakes. I don't think you're going to turn back into the monster you think you might become. Not while you feel like that.

[ HE SAYS, WHILE ON A MISSION BACK HOME TO KILL SOMEONE WHOSE FEAR AND SICKNESS ABOUT BECOMING EVIL TURNED HIM INTO AN EVIL WORLD-DESTROYING ULTRA-NIGHTMARE ]

sorry if this made you feel worse.

Odin Dark is too cool and badass to be so encumbered by the petty problems of the every man.

It's fine, seriously.
Thanks for talking to me about this.
I hope I helped, on some level.
