I just wanna say. There's something deeply poetic to me about how Nigel thinks about the Templar knights. They were, to him, the epitome of greatness and something to look up to. Something he seemed to wish he could be. But the crusaders (and thus the Templars) ultimately lost, there were like 10 crusades and they didn't win a single one. And Nigel absolutely has to know that, not just from how obsessed with it he is but it's a religious school for crying out loud. And also just common info.
Nigel wanted to be a person who partook, though not directly, in a battle he knew he wouldn't win. He wanted to ultimately die, alongside so many others, for what would ultimately be nothing. They protected people as they traveled, that's really all the Templar knights did. He saw himself as a protector in some way. Dying in the name of a god that didn't save them.
No clue if this actually makes sense I'm very high. Just food for thought.
Did I love this book? Yes. 100%. Do I remember anything about it? Absolutely not.
LMAO not Murray literally sensing byler angst bc his curse
Mike Wheeler is the type of guy to be so irrationally scared of his friends deciding he sucks and leaving him that at the very first hint that they might actually go he preemptively leaves first to maintain some control over the situation and his friends feel his distance and then they really do pull away so Mike pulls away even more in response and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy even though no one was ever actually going to leave him and this is exactly what happened between Will moving and California in this essay I will

OK but Draco getting visibly annoyed every time he hears someone say that Harry is the Heir of Slytherin is so relatable because which among us hasn’t had that reaction when we hear people wildly mischaracterizing one of our blorbos?
i am currently suffering from horrific stomach pains therefore mike wheeler is a bitch with stomach problems and Will always comforts him and calls him babygirl
I'm having trouble thinking of where to go in the fic I've posted, and in hopes of being slightly productive with my time, have returned to an unfinished Au. I've gotten stuck on one part though, which isn't too big of a deal, but I'd like some input. If they were forced to stay in a room with only one bed, do yall think Alex would let Nigel take the bed and sleep on the floor, or would he make Nigel sleep on the floor? I'm kinda torn bc I feel like he'd think he deserves the bed more, but I also think he'd have a bit of a soft spot for Nigel and wouldn't want him on the floor
Frankentstein, when he realizes his actions have consequences: Oh no! Who made all of this happen to me? Why would they do this!
