Heart of Shadow Thematic Musings

[unspeakablehorror]

Heart of Shadow is a lot of things for me, but one of those things is...sort of a response to the very common idea of the villain being unable to love and so therefore fated to be defeated or whatever, etc, etc.  And I mean, there's a lot of ways to kind of interrogate that idea, but I'm certainly having fun with this particular angle.  Like, what if the villains have the 'power of love' too?
