green eyes are not soft like brown or dreamy like blue

they are there, with so much potential, but no real impact

regulus black has green eyes

but green eyes? they’re just there. unique, yes, but not something that stops you in your tracks. they don’t have the same cultural obsession. they’re neither here nor there, caught in the middle of the spectrum

brown eyes, too, get so much love. they’re warm, deep, like dark chocolate or honey, they are comforting

blue is often seen as perfect—ocean eyes, skies, endless beauty. people write poems about blue eyes

green eyes are rare, but they don’t have the same romanticized weight as blue or brown eyes

a partnership of lightness and depth that neither of them could find anywhere else

they balance each other’s extremes. pandora is the one to make sybill laugh, to pull her out of her gloomy visions and remind her of the beauty in the everyday. sybill helps pandora see that not everything can be understood—that there’s power and peace in simply accepting what is

at the same time, sybill would sometimes find pandora’s constant questions overwhelming—especially if they hit too close to truths she isn’t ready to confront

pandora, always reaching forward, searching for answers, and sybill, already weighed down by the ones she has

sybill, meanwhile, would be both intrigued and exasperated by pandora. she sees the world as something unknowable and chaotic, but pandora’s relentless optimism might remind her that not everything has to feel so heavy

they’re a delicate balance of curiosity and certainty. pandora is drawn to sybill because she’s a mystery she can’t solve. she would want to know, not because she doubts her gift, but because she can’t help herself. she believes there’s a method to every madness, even sybill’s

sybill is not trying to understand the world like pandora; she already has glimpses of truths that she sometimes wishes she didn’t see. her eccentricity comes from the weight of that knowledge and her struggles to express it in a way others will believe or understand

pandora’s “craziness” isn’t chaotic; it’s ambitious, optimistic, and endlessly inquisitive. she’s an explorer, a scientist. she wants to know and she will know. she will get a taste of this world and she will concur it with her brain. strange doesn’t scare her, it inspires her

sybill lives with a quiet burden. she knows things—sees things—that most people can’t comprehend. but her gift isn’t something that brings her joy. her visions are often vague, unsettling, and while they give her a sense of purpose, they also isolate her

pandora is driven by an insatiable curiosity about the world. everything has a reason, and she has to find it. her mind is constantly working, always looking for patterns, explanations, and connections. she sees the world as a puzzle, and the joy for her is in piecing it together
