[ooc] first impression/question meme

[hawkwardmoment]

I THINK THIS IS LIKE... THE FIRST TIME I GOT 1000 COMMENTS IN LESS THAN A YEAR. So to celebrate:

ASK A QUESTION it can be anything CFUD related, OOC, IC, First Impressions, Relationship, psychology, thoughts, whatever. I.E. My character's opinion of your character or maybe what you have been wondering about this behavior or that, or general thoughts on my characters or canons or what, who I might consider topping you into apping, etc.

When I reply I will also ask you a question in turn!

My characters aside from Hawke are Chroche, Yurippe, Jin Kisaragi, and Theodore.

OKAY so I forgot to mention the jealousy/possessiveness thing. Fenris is possessive of Hawke.

This really should not surprise you, but the important thing here is, it's nothing to do with not trusting her. He does trust her, as I said above! It is, however, everything to do with his belief that love equals bondage. He loves her and so she owns him, but he- well, he hopes that she loves him, and that means he owns her, too, right? Mutual ownership!

And so when she flirts with other people, and moreso when they flirt with her, he wants to make sure they know Hawke is his. He's never had this before - this closeness with someone, this mutual belonging, and he refuses to let anyone challenge it except Hawke herself. He was willing to let her go to someone else without a fight once, when he was still frightened of how he felt: not anymore.

He also realizes Hawke deliberately flirts to rile him up, which is one reason other people flirting with her bothers him more than her flirting with others. He's not worried she's going to pick someone else, but someone else might try to take her, and that's not okay.

So, basically, Fenris is fucked up. It's not healthy to view love in terms of ownership, but that's Fenris for you. He isn't healthy, at all, and that's just one more aspect of it. But he's also wise enough to know that him loving Hawke doesn't give him ownership; it's her loving him that does. It's a gift the one who loves give to the one they love, not a right. If she told him she didn't love him, it'd crush him, but he wouldn't pull any "BUT I OWN YOU" freaky ex shit. He'd argue with her, but if she was resolved in it, he'd give up and just go quietly try to kill his heart in a corner somewhere, not stalk her for the rest of her life, steal her underpants, make shrines, etc, like someone we know probably does. XD

The end!
