A Buffy s2 study because I’m trying to digitally paint more !

[angel-the-taciturn-shadowy-guy]

Angel nodded again when Louis told him about where things were with him and Lestat were. "Well, maybe one day I can meet the guy," Angel half joked. He was curious to meet Lestat just as Louis was curious to meet Buffy....if they ever found their back to each other. But, Angel didn't want to think about that right now. He had to catch Louis up on the last five years. He already knew about the office/living situation change. But, now what? The deaths of Cordy and Wes? No. Yes, Louis had been friendly with them, but Angel wasn't ready talk about it yet. The pain of losing them was still raw. Wolfram & Hart? The brief return of Angelus? Gunn? Fred? Illyria? "Well, the most important thing is....I have a son."

@withlingeringrespect

Louis felt as if every topic was a treasure trove of complications. There were so many threads with each, some splitting off into even more complex ones. "That's...." he starts, trailing off as his eyes averted contact for a brief moment. "Well, I've been to New Orleans a few times since everything happened. We have ... a lot to work out between us." He then goes silent, reflecting on his words about his own changes. "Oh, what's going on?"

[text]: I have no idea how to make a call with this thing. I hate technological.

[text]: I meant technology. Sorry. Auto correct.

@withlingeringrespect

[text] : Louis, is this you? Do I have the right number?

- @angel-the-taciturn-shadowy-guy

[text]: Yes, it is me. My phone is open if you would rather call. I am not the best with my cell phone.

what kind of love are you?

Love as Religion Devotion, that is the name of your love. Your love is an act of worship. Your love is like witnessing the birth of Venus, like seeing the sun come alive, or the stars fall. When you love, it is because you have found God in a lover. You have found the meaning of life itself in the heart of the one you adore. They are everything to you; they are your Maker, and you are their lamb, their flock, their first and holiest worshipper. When you fall in love, it is as a baptism. You are born anew, made a believer in the divinity of the one you love most. Being loved by you is an ascension; it is holy and golden. It is all-consuming, and all-faithful, loyal as the dog. You will never, ever bite back.

"Well, um, mostly I was working," Angel answered. "Turns out this city has a lot of literal demons. Could keep me and mine busy for a while." He wasn't sure he should tell Cami that he and his people had decided to stay in New Orleans permanently. This was only his second time talking to her. He liked her and he didn't want to scare her off. That also meant that he probably shouldn't tell her that he was also working up the nerve to come back after his meltdown either.

@taintedbloodlines

She couldn't help but laugh at the way he cringed at his own words. "It could have been worse," she teased and moved immediately to pour him a drink. She figured that he could use it (just a feeling of course). "What has kept you busy all this time?" She realized how prying that could sound. "Just...tell me what you want to..."

Angel nodded. "So...where does this leave things with you and Lestat?" he couldn't help asking. It always seemed like Louis loved Lestat the way Angel loved Buffy even though their relationships were completely different. He had a feeling Louis wouldn't want to talk about it for a while after this question and Angel hadn't really updated him on anything when he got here. Maybe now was the time. "Things have actually changed a lot here, too, since you were last here..."

@vampvoices

"I don't know the full circumstances, just what I've gathered," he said, referring to Daniel, "but he is supposed to visit me in Dubai soon. But we will see on when." His tone carried a thread of worry, taking another drag from the cigarette as he thought on the boy, pausing for a few moments. He lingered at the back of his mind, consistently. "I am still coming to terms with it, with everything. I suppose that is where I say ...complicated."

angel : season 5 … sentence starters

“I must be in hell.”

“Why can’t I stay?”

“My world is gone.“

“You’re worth saving.”

“Think I’m hot, do you?“

“It’ll hurt. That part’s fun.“

“You’re a bloody puppet!“

“You made me a monster.“

“Would you have loved me?“

“You know that won’t kill me.”

“It’s not murder if you say yes.“

“Just turn around and walk away.“

“So were we… once upon a time.“

“If you don’t kill, we won’t kill you.“

“Yes, I think so. I think that’s weird.“

“You’re not cross with me, are you?“

“I helped save the world, you know.“

“You’re starting to feel it, aren’t you?“

“I walk with heroes. Think about that.“

“Would you like me to lie to you, now?”

“She’s one of us now. She’s a monster.“

“Wait. What the hell am I worried about?“

“It’s about doing what’s right. Remember?“

“You’ve failed me enough for one lifetime.”

“Is that enough? Is that enough to live for?“

“Easy, slim. Easy. No one’s gonna hurt you.“

“Cavemen win. Of course the cavemen win.“

“You’re fading. You’ll last ten minutes at best.“

“Uh… can I get a cup of coffee or something?“

“We are not going to kill anyone, understood?“

“Your opinion of me weighs less than sunlight.”

“I’m not responsible for what happened to you.“

“Oh, that’s so sweet. And a tad condescending.”

“I avoided the major organs. He’ll probably live.“

“You reek of frustration. Curls off of you like smoke.“

“I’ve got half a mind to kill you, myself, you half-wit.“

“I’m still stuck back at, ‘Why on earth are we here?’”

“You’re right. I do deserve to go to Hell. But not today.“

“Did they at least torture you? Please tell me they did.“

“How would you — you’re not a monster, too, are you?“

“Thank you! Thank you! That thing was going to kill me!“

“Your run-on sentences have gotten a lot less pointless.”

“Are you saying we should start annoying other people?“

“Maybe I know what I’m doing. Why can’t you trust that?“

“What he said. But with a bit more of a threat at the end.“

“You break so easily. Why do you bother getting back up?“

“Superhero. And this is my power. To not let them take me.“

“I’ve done everything you ever asked, and I’ve done it well.“

“I’m not you. I don’t give a piss about atonement or destiny.”

“Well, that’s not fair. I didn’t even have a soul when I did that.”

“No, it’s not, it’s time to kick your ass all the way back to hell!“

“That creature’s more dangerous to mankind than you realize.“ 

“We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief?“

“There’s always time for redemption. Isn’t that your whole thing?“

“This whole fighting thing, I’m not… I’m not really sure it’s for me.“

“I’d claw my way back from the depths of hell to lay by your side.“

“The scariest thing was how organized they were. Almost military.“

“This is grief. I’m watching human grief… it’s like offal in my mouth.”

“When the world met me, it shuddered, groaned. It knelt at my feet.“

“Girls, guys… puppies. He’s pretty much an equal-opportunity saver.“

“You had your chance. I guess some people, they just never change.“

“I didn’t make you. I just opened up the door, and let the real you out.”

“I’m honestly beginning to suspect that you’re not part of the solution.“

“Stop trying to be all valiant. You’re coming off like a self-pitying child.“

“Don’t ever go to a free virgin blood party. Turns out, it’s probably a trap.“

“There’s some weapons and stuff over here if you think you’ll need them.“

“Hate to break it to you, mate, but bad things always happen everywhere.”

“Could it be there’s another reason you’re getting so mad at him about this?“

“You knew who was responsible and you didn’t say anything. You let her die.“

“I’m feeling grief for him. I can’t seem to control it. I wish to do more violence.“

“I’ve loved you since I’ve known you. No, that’s not… I think maybe even before.“

“Whoa! Watch it there! Just passing by and got splashed with a heap of grouchy.“

“I play this game. It’s pointless, and annoys me. And yet I’m compelled to play on.“

“Look, so you got the weight of the world. Burden, sure, but breaking news it ain’t.“

“You have to fight. You don’t have to talk, just concentrate on fighting. Just hold on.“

“I thought maybe, just maybe, you might’ve learned to open up a little. You know, talk?“

“Do you even really want it? Or is it that you just want to take something away from me?“

“You think you’re in control here? Guess again, mate. You’re no more in control than I am.“

“Look, I don’t know what you’re talking about, but you can’t keep me here. I have to leave.”

“I am something you will never be. I’m pure. I believe in evil. You and your friends, you’re conflicted.“

“I can’t even keep this up, ‘cause your face is gonna make me weep. I am so messing with you!”

“Hey, you want a piece of me, buddy? That’s right, keep walking. You walk alone! You walk alone!“

“I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I’m honestly not sure how. I think it’ll just be awkward.“

“You know, I’ve had a long time to plan for this moment. I figured you’d be a lot more… intimidating.“

“I don’t know why you’re doing all this, but did you ever once consider there might be another way?“

“I know he’s been playing me with the looks and the smiles. I’m not some idiot schoolgirl with a crush.“

“Whoa! You see that? I went a little hard-core there for a second. That guy made me really cranky.“

“I’ll tell them that I’m different. I’ll tell them it’s… actually a good thing. I’ll tell them to stop worrying so much.“

“That is why you are gonna lose, because we possess the most powerful thing in the world… conviction.“

“You think any of it matters? The things we did? …The lives we destroyed. That’s all that’s ever gonna count.“

“It’s my boys. I haven’t had this many big strapping men at my bedside since that night with the Varsity Lacrosse team.“

“There’s no belonging or deserving anymore. You can take what you want, have what you want… but nothing is yours.“

“I need you to talk to my parents. Th-they have to know I wasn’t scared, th-that it was quick. That I wasn’t scared. Oh, God…”

“You have reached Ritual Sacrifice. For goats, press one, or say ‘goats’. To sacrifice a loved one or pet, press the pound key.”

“Never much for small talk, were you? Always too busy trying to perfect that brooding, block-of-wood mystique. God, I love that.“

“I’m gonna learn every damn thing they know up there, and then figure out some stuff they don’t. And I’ll be careful. I’ll even be dull, boring. Cross my heart.“

“You mean my skin and muscle burning away from the bone? Organs exploding in my chest? Eyeballs melting in their sockets? No. No memory at all thanks for asking.“

Top 5 Faith Lehane Dream Scenes (As Voted By Our Followers)

#04. “Orpheus” 4.15 [ANGEL THE SERIES] ⏤ "Dude, you just rescued a puppy."

[angel-the-taciturn-shadowy-guy]

"He's a vampire? By choice?" He raised his eyebrows. He could tell by the expression on Louis's face that it wasn't by choice. "How is it complicated?" Angel pressed. He realized that he hadn't told Louis about Cordelia and Wesley or anything else that had happened since he and Louis had last seen each other.

@vampvoices

He then took a second, thinking of Daniel. A worry was present on his features. He thought of him often. "You might like his books, actually. - And Daniel is one of us now," Louis adds regarding him, pausing as he brings the cigarette back to his lips again. The cigarette gave him something to do with his hands, usually providing a distraction, now a mixture of that plus a certain focus to the conversation. "Yes, it was Lestat that saved me." He then paused again, looking down at the cigarette before he spoke once more. "It's ...complicated." Then again, most things were in this life.
