“may all your wounds be mortal”

This is beautiful.

Though, it’s not “all your wounds” (tutte le tue ferite) but rather “May my wound” (la mia ferita).

It’s feminine singular and I do kinda love the personalization of the writing.

But it’s also … it’s kind of grammatically incorrect but it’s also very colloquial and dialectal.

Che la mia ferita sia mortale is more than just a saying … it’s almost an invocation.

It’s also less ‘may’ and more ‘that’ so it should be more like …

That my wound be lethal

“I knew that monsters were far more gentle and more desirable than the monsters living inside ‘nice people.’ Accepting that you are a monster gives you the leeway to not behave like one. When you deny being a monster, you behave like one.”

— Guillermo del Toro on why he loves monsters.
