I Love A Character Raised To Be A Weapon As Much As The Next Guy. But What Really Gets Me Is A Character

I love a character raised to be a weapon as much as the next guy. But what really gets me is a character raised to be a shield. Who can’t fathom being needed—or even being wanted— beyond keeping others safe. Who believe they are alive only to insure someone doesn’t die. no matter the cost. Characters who self-sacrifice not because they think they deserve it, but because no one else does deserve it, and it’s their job to protect.

Characters who’ve been told that’s why your important. Your worth something because this other person/ thing is important, and you are here solely to keep them safe.

Bonus points if it’s not a legitimate job they’ve been given. Maybe at one point it was, but now that they are free from it, they haven’t given up that mentality. No one is forcing or asking them to do this, but they need to. They need to in order to be deserving.

DISCLAIMER: Obviously This Is Just For Fun And They Are Just Coincidences

DISCLAIMER: obviously this is just for fun and they are just coincidences

I was searching for symbolic meanings of the willow tree, and I found this, all of you probably know where i’m headed.

“the willow has many healing properties” in this case it’s stated as physical pain, but I interpreted it as a psychlogical way, as we saw in “Labyrinth Runners” Willow helped Gus when he had a mental breakdown and he started to breathe properly thanks to her, and you know who else will probably need her help? Hunter !

“the willow tree may look dainty but, it’s power is not one to be underestimated.” a reference to willow’s past:being called half-a-witch and being underestimated by one of her ex closest friend: Amity, I can say that this is a cute coincidence (or maybe it’s not) Willow is also very feminine (she wears skirts,and is in fact, very dainty) but at the same time she is very strong and resilient, and it doesn’t delete any of her feminine traits.

“The flexible yet resilient willow tree encourages us all throughout life showing us the way to adjust to life’s pressures without ‘snapping’” a reference to not only her determination as we saw in “any sports in a storm” but also in an emotional way, we never saw Willow really angry to Amity,she doesn’t hold too much to past actions but at the same time she doesn’t consider Amity one of her closest friend anymore, she isn’t angry but she knows her value. source: https://tree2mydoor.com/pages/information-trees-celtic-tree-calendar-willow-tree-symbolism

“The willow reminds us to let go and to surrender completely to our innermost selves. And, to gain a deeper understanding of our subconscious”: we know that probably hunter has an identity crisis right now for being a grimwalker, so maybe Willow could help him out discover who he really wants to be and who he really is (similiar to Willow’s character development where she is seen by Amity as her old self, and now she is her true self, as also Gus said) so probably Willow will play a major role

“We can also look at how the willow tree encourages the expression of deep emotions, including grief and sadness through tears and teaching us the value and consequences of love and loss” still another reference to what role Willow may play in Hunter’s life, Hunter is definetely in a bad place right now, so since willow trees can also represent the expression of deep emotions,she could help Hunter to open up to them in order to feel better and letting show his fragile side

“One of the greatest symbolic meanings of the willow tree is that even through great loss we have the ability to grow and there is potential for something new”: can be correleted to both Hunter and Willow, Willow lost Amity and grew mentally becoming her real self, as for Hunter it may symbolize the loss of his uncle and the loss of his admiration towards him, maybe Willow may help him grow mentally by giving him some support :) (together with the squad obviously) source:https://willowplaceforwomen.com/symbolism-of-the-willow-tree/
