/...but...that doesn't make sense. Whether you die of war, famine, or pestilence, you are still dying, you are still ultimately taken by Death, so Death should be the name for the one that kills the most, not War. OH WAIT, SENSE IN AN AB NOVEL? SILLY ME! PERISH THE THOUGHT!/ Later retconned in Affliction as meaning that Death kills people up close and personal, whereas War slaughters indiscriminately. Which does say something about Anita's murderous reputation.
/"Did Jean-Claude steal power from them just to grow his hair long for me, when they could have used it to heal their wounds, grow their own hair?" It is so, so hilarious to me how she puts growing hair out on the same level as HEALING WOUNDS THAT WILL OTHERWISE POSSIBLY LAST AN ETERNITY./ I honestly have to wonder if she originally put "Did Jean-Claude steal power from them just to grow his hair long for me, when they could have used it to grow their own hair?" as that sentence, then realized it needed SLIGHTLY more gravitas in order to be taken seriously.
/ I just think it's sad that he apparently doesn't think of himself and his fellows as people./ They aren't, in this world. He's just unusually aware of the meta aspects of the universe.
/ BEING CALLED A ~MAN~ MEANS THAT MUCH TO HER./ This is like an exaggerated trans!fic on AO3, only with teary emotional moments replaced by rank misogyny, sociopathy, and stupidity. And tweeness. Can't forget the tweeness.
