Silver Tongue

my new favourite character archetype of the 2010s is “character is raised by an abusive motherly figure with a spider theme whose constant pressures and neglect leads the character to constantly feel they need to prove themselves and in doing so always ends up causing so many more problems which end up destroying everything and they are rivals with their childhood friend whom they hurt and the childhood friend desperately wants the character to realize that she doesnt need to be a better person but there gets a point where it looks like character is beyond hope so rival begrudgingly tries to kill her even though they really dont want to”
