“That locker room might’ve made my father the man he is… but it also made me the woman that I am. Their violence was petty and ignorant, but ultimately, it was true to who they were. The real violence. The violence that I realized was unforgivable. Is the violence that we do to ourselves, when we’re too afraid to be who we really are.”
#Lito isn’t afraid to feel#ironically even though he spends most of his narrative in the closet and prides himself on lying well#Lito is probably the most emotionally honest character besides Capheus#and I love this show for valuing and elevating emotional intelligence and courage and the ability to empathize#yes Lito may be a coward in some respects and he ultimately grabs hold of his courage#but God it takes so much bravery to feel#and he’s always felt so much#that he can be there to hold Nomi’s hand and feel for her#and scream for Sun and plead for Wolfgang (via marsza)
