gideon the ninth’s “strike me down. you’ve won. i’ve lived my entire wretched life at your mercy, yours alone, and god knows i deserve to die at your hand. you are my only friend. i am undone without you” vs that diary of a wimpy kid fanfic where greg says “what was i supposed to say? that he’s the only person in my life that i haven’t screwed over? that everyone in my family hates me? that he’s my only friend? that i love him? probably. i didn’t say anything”
