Are you the soldier, poet, or king?

The Soldier

"There will come a soldier / Who carries a mighty sword / He will tear your city down". Righteousness. Strength. Violence. You see a door and break through it. You wonder, sometimes, if anger is the only thing you can feel. Remember : love is passion too. You made your own rules and will follow them to death. You try and forget that there is only one rule, and that it is "FIGHT". You are tired of fighting. You try to forget that, too, and keep going. You dream of quiet. Your love is where you heal. God knows you deserve to. (Really. You deserve to.)

#muse: shalnark kurta.#* shalnark kurta. / development.#Definitely the most accurate of the 3! And pretty accurate overall too if you just squint at some parts?#A few of them are moreso talking about the troupe rather than Shal on his own (like ''violence'' & the starting quote)#99% of the time he won't go out of his way to cause destruction or be violent on his own; it's mainly smth he does For and With the troupe #but in that sense it's still v fitting bc we all Saw how a chunk of Yorknew City went down in flames & Shal was part of the reason why #Then the rest are about himself; some post-revival (the anger bit) & some in general (righteousness; self-imposed rules & love healing)#For rules; we know the spider made up their own & each of them sticks to those rules no matter what - Shal being no exception #As for love; in this context it encompasses p much anyone he cares about? like yeah Feitan for Sure but I see it as the ENTIRE troupe too #Shal would've been far worse off emotionally than he is rn if he didn't have his friends by his side for most of his life #And lastly the parts where he dreams of quiet / is tired of fighting... he doesn't pay it much mind bc it's how they grew up #there's no different road for them to take & tbh there hasn't been one for decades - and he's perfectly fine w that now #but at the same time he's far more of the nerdy type than the fighting type so he Would prefer to read or smth over some crimes they commit #All in all Shal's very content w the life he leads so any complaints he may have are incredibly minor/don't matter to him in the long run
