I love Mercy bc after ten thousand years she’s still extremely sensitive and emotionally vulnerable and wears her heart on her sleeve. And not in a constructive communicative way, or a bullshit “weaponsied feminity” way. She’s just incapable of not expressing what she’s feeling, and most of the time what she’s feeling is angry. She plows through life three rounds no filter. The most interesting Mercy moments for me are the ones where she’s relieved or sad or guilty because those are the moments that prove she isn’t putting up an angry front to hide behind, she just lives like this—as an exposed nerve. She can regulate her norepinephrine at will, but so help her she can’t regulate her emotions.
I’d like to know what she’d be like if she were happy
do yall remember in gideon the ninth when coronobeth said that the third house would go down on its knees for the sixth house?? that was fucking crazy. was she offering to blow palamedes?? coronabeth was the only one playing the game like john would have wanted.
