I want to talk about how this scene is extremely underrated - or rather, the fact this conversation even happened is underrated.
While we know Twilight already planned to tell Yor that Nightfall was absolutely not going to take her place, I don't think he planned to open up to her about his mother - his real one, not one he made up for the Loid Forger role. Twilight, in this moment, felt comfortable enough to share real information about himself with Yor.
I feel like people treat this scene as him just making Yor feel better when it shows so much more.
Twilight probably hasn't talked about his mother in at least a decade. The only people to maybe know and have heard what happened are Handler and Franky, but even they probably have no idea.
This sort of character development is absolutely flooring when you dive into how Twilight normally is. It's like seeing a genuine smile from him - which he only does around Yor.
And to add onto this, Twilight doesn't seem to purposefully remember his past very often. We've only seen flashbacks during times of stress. Yet, he comfortably recalls his mother when talking to Yor.
This scene does a tremendous job of showing Loid's/Twilight's trust (and blooming adoration) in Yor. And, I just love that 💕
I wish my heart didn’t feel everything so deeply
we need to romanticize lying on the floor and not doing anything
im curious about what made you you. im curious about your taste in music. im curious about the way your mind thinks. im curious about how your body likes to be touched. im curious about your late night thoughts and how they make you feel. im curious about every single thing about you.
May you live an existence that doesn’t require constant resilience.
At an early age I learned that people make mistakes, and you have to decide if their mistakes are bigger than your love for them.
Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give (via thebookquotes)
“Trauma permanently changes us. This is the frightening truth about betrayal. You never really get over it. At best, you grieve and make some kind of peace with it. But a major life disruption leaves a new normal behind. There’s no going back to who you were before.”
