If Proteus’ actions were shaped by external forces – specifically the irresistible and transformative power of love – then perhaps he would be less culpable for his shifting loyalties and therefore as easily…

The people I know who look the most common on the surface are the most delightfully bizarre when you scratch that veneer off. For the most part, I know who I am. I’m little w weird – weird in hobby and lifestyle because of the bits of my life I choose.
