		✿ PERSONALITY.  THE FORMULA TO FORGE AN HEIR. i. Pluck the peacock of its plume, strip it bare (not here, not you, not him, not this).  ii. With steady hands, scrawl a scarlet mantra on its spine. A promise and a command. A secret. iii. Gild its chords with smelted gold; burn its faith in ornamented ruby.  It will struggle; lay it to rest with a kiss.  iv. This is what love is. This is what love is. This is what love is.  The beast stands with a bright, blooming ambition. His posture is disciplined; eyes sharp, jowl clenched across pointed tusks, tightened and tense. His red appetite bubbles beneath frozen skin; subdued and controlled, but always, always, always carrying a “what if”—( the threat of a brutal retribution is too much to risk ). It is like they say: better not to feed the animals.  After all, it is not he who sharpened his fangs. No, his jaw still aches from where they forced it open, whetted ivory into thorns. His youthful ferocity has been worn away; beastie no longer ( better better better ). Now, things are different. Now, he has a bite—( a wound and a collar, dipped in carnelian wishes! ). Call him what he really is: a pet.  He has been trained well. A diligent dedication that drills itself between his ribs; responsible and respectable, he has been made into a gentleman. Eloquence is no stranger to him; he carries himself with a silvery cold grace that can only be found in a practiced, perfect shell. He is proper, as he should be. Gracious and proud, as he’s taught. He is flawless, and he has no future outside of this house. This cage.  He has known nothing less than clear glass and rusted cinnamon, towering expectations and the gaping hazard of defeat. Mirrors don’t know failure; mirrors know nothing at all. They can only reflect. And he, he will become like the stern hand that so steadily guides his shoulders. He is already becoming.  Though polite, there are moments where his words stain callous with bitter, viridescent resignment; no punches pulled—( he was never given this privilege, and one can only suppress their resentment for so long ). Even a gentleman can be arrogant when he lives in the land of milk and splenda.  It is in no one’s best interest to reach further than the clean-pressed, well dressed way he presents himself. Though he makes connections in genuine earnest, he himself is withholding, invulnerable, and detached, stifling any ounce of human emotion that threatens to weasel its way out of his body. That isn’t him, that is an embarrassment privy to no one. He doesn’t want to brood on it, doesn’t want to ponder what lies past false joints and fixed embellishments, doesn’t want to think about how little of him remains after everything, after years of conditioned obedience. So he doesn’t.  It’s better this way, it is easier like this. This is all he is: this is all he’ll ever be. Declawed and refitted with manmade talons; a new kind of monster (unrivaled, unparalleled: pristine). This is what love is. This is what love is. This is what love is.  A BLUEPRINT FOR BUILDING A BEAST. i. Love it.  ii. Lock it away.
