the new year’s schedule I posted is cancelled because ngl… I don’t have muse for some of the blogs listed on it nor do I want to pressure myself into writing specific muses at certain times.

my therapist gave me a technique to try, however, and we’re gonna rock with it

what does your soul look like ?

an ancient tree with gnarled branches

You are the old soul. You are a being full of quiet wisdom, but it did not come without earning it. Experience has weathered you quickly, yet you remain strong through it all. You are a bastion to those who need the support of a calm and resolute mind. The histories of the world are etched beneath your thick skin, and you hold dearly to things that others would quickly forget. You collect things within your branches, you give home to those left without, and you bear the weight of it all. But through all you have been through, you have not yet learned how to let go. You refuse to relinquish what you cherish so dearly and weep for every precious thing that falls from your branches. You must be careful, or else the past you cling to might destroy a brighter future.

the hogfather.

dialogue prompts from the hogfather (2006).

an alternative hypothesis: "things just happen. what the hell?"

you can be excused just about anything, if you're a hero.

go away. i don't do that stuff anymore.

the dog seems to like you.

don't get afraid. get angry.

i suppose i just see things differently from other people.

assassins are always fashionably late.

there's a monster under my bed again.

sorry, that was very rude of me. i wasn't paying attention.

we may not have much time.

you did read the sign on that door?

don't say i didn't warn you.

you don't have to think. you just have to do what i say.

going down the chimney? where's the sense in that?

i used to be young myself, surprising as it may seem.

i don't want you back in my life. understand?

it's supposed to be jolly, with mistletoe and holly. and other things ending in -olly.

you might think i've already thought of that, but i couldn't possibly comment.

i don't do family reunions.

it makes about as much sense as everything else, doesn't it?

the world would be a hell of a mess if everyone got what they asked for.

what good would a god be who gave you everything you wanted?

we need a bigger brain for this.

there's no better present than a future.

you must think i was born yesterday.

i didn't know there was gonna be all of this creepy stuff. i wanna go home.

i'd bow, but i'm afraid you'd do something dreadful.

please don't try to break my attention by annoying me.

i'm incognito.

this place gets into your head, doesn't it?

i'm in touch with my inner child.

hi, inner child. i'm the inner babysitter.

who's gonna tell me what to do?

no one's ever going to tell you what to do again.

can i have a puppy?

this is a hell of a way to spend ______.

it gets under your skin, life. the more you struggle for every moment, the more alive you stay.

there are rules, but you broke them. how dare you?

have you been naughty, or nice?

humans need fantasy to be human.

you have to start out learning to believe the little lies so that you can believe the big ones: justice, duty, mercy. that kind of thing.

you try to act as if there is some ideal order in the world.

you need to believe in things that aren't true. how else can they become?

would you like to visit for _____ dinner?

would you like a drink before you go?

a cup of cocoa would be appropriate, in the circumstances.

it only kills monsters.

you winked at me. i thought you had a plan.

i planned to see what you would do.

there is always time for another last minute.

human beings make life so interesting: in a universe so full of wonders, they've managed to invent boredom.

@babydxhl from here !

"I did," comes Jo's usual chipper voice, "but only because I had to, hehe!" Her eyes glance over her handiwork before turning to look at her guests, her ever-present grin on her face. "Sorry for the mess; he put up a fight, so I had to really teach him a lesson... it could've been so much cleaner if he didn't try to run everywhere. It's always so funny when they get a taste of their own medicine!"

A sigh leaves her as she collects her knife off of the coffee table, the squelching of her shoes too loud to let any bout of silence fall over the room. There're the remnants of a lamp in the corner, the base of which is bloody and shattered, the shade bent and torn. "I asked you to come because I could use some help and thought you'd have resources. Usually, I take care of this myself, but...I could really use some assistance with disposal." She watches Mary expectantly, hoping she'd get some sort of positive answer.

"I'll do what I can to pay whoever I need to back."

PROMPTS FROM WHEN HARRY MET SALLY *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

i've been doing a lot of thinking, and the thing is, i love you.

i love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out.

i love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich.

i love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like i'm nuts.

i love that after i spend the day with you, i can still smell your perfume on my clothes.

i love that you are the last person i want to talk to before i go to sleep at night.

i came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

i'll have what she's having.

would you like to have dinner?

i thought you didn't believe men and women could be friends.

when did i say that?

i mean, come on, who the hell are we kidding?

most women at one time or another have faked it.

they haven't faked it with me.

that's right. i forgot. you're a man.

what was that supposed to mean?

it is so nice when you can sit with someone and not have to talk.

marriages don't break up on account of infidelity. it's just a symptom that something else is wrong.

you realize of course that we could never be friends.

men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.

that's not true.

i have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved.

you only think you do.

they all want to have sex with you.

no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive.

i guess we're not going to be friends then.

you were the only person i knew in new york.

there are two kinds of women: high maintenance and low maintenance.

which one am i?

you're the worst kind.

you're high maintenance but you think you're low maintenance.

i just want it the way i want it.

you look like a normal person, but actually you are the angel of death.

don't you have a dark side?

when i buy a new book, i read the last page first.

if you could take him back now, would you?

why didn't he want to marry me?

what's the matter with me?

you're challenging.

i'm too structured. i'm completely closed off.

i drove him away.

how do you expect me to respond to this?

i'm leaving.

i don't have to take this crap from you.

what the hell does that have to do with anything?

are you finished now?

can i say something?

i'm sorry.

everybody thinks they have good taste and a sense of humor but they couldn't possibly all have good taste.

that is just like you.

you say things like that, and you make it impossible for me to hate you.

at least i got the apartment.

the first time we met, we hated each other.

we were friends for a long time.

it only took three months.

you will never have to be out there again.

i'm not going to tell you that.

i miss her.

you know what i miss? i miss the idea of him.

when did this happen?

you don't bounce back from that right away.

doesn't what i said mean anything for you?

i hate you, [name]. i really hate you.

what can i get you?

no one has ever quoted me back to me before.

you know, i'm so glad i never got involved with you.

i am not your consolation prize.

i wrote that.

you're going to have to try and find a way of not expressing every feeling that you have, every moment that you have them.

so funny, so sad.

joque ! : an original interpretation of jo.ker from dc's b.atman. 21+. penned by ramone. crossover and oc friendly. personals do not interact.

a study in: laughing until you cry, an ever-present smile, taking justice into your own hands, playing into someone's worst fears, and the sinking feeling that something is terribly, horribly wrong.

EPIC: THE ITHACA SAGA change pronouns as needed!

i'd rather lie than allow them to think they've won.

i never thought i'd resort to this.

i don't know how much longer i'll last.

it was far from the norm.

could it be some kind of sign?

is it finally time?

i'll be here, buying you time.

time is fleeting.

time to be the man of the house.

let the arrow fly.

i'd rather die than grow old without the best of you.

i would not have it any other way.

i never thought that it would end like this.

i'll be here waiting.

we've been here for hours.

can't you see we're being played?

haven't you noticed who's missing?

i heard he's on a diplomatic mission.

channel the fire inside your soul.

i've suffered every punishment and pain.

i have had enough.

we have the advantage.

somewhere in the shadows lurks an agile, deadly foe.

we've the numbers and the might.

you don't understand it.

this man plans for every fight.

keep your head down.

the odds can be tilted.

you don't think i know my own palace? i built it.

our leader is dead.

the rest of us are no longer a threat.

let's have open arms, instead.

he's more cunning than i assumed.

let's make the bastard rot.

throw down those weapons, and i'll ensure you'll be spared.

i don't want to hurt you.

i've come prepared.

your very presence has doomed him.

come and arm yourself.

mercy? mercy?

my mercy has long since drowned.

all of you are going to die.

you've filled my heart with hate.

i've dreamt of how i'd greet you.

i can't find the words.

i wish i could show you.

i never could outgrow you.

how time has flown.

i'd make the storm clouds cry for you.

i'd capture wind and sky for you.

i'm finally home.

how i've longed to see you.

i'll be there in a moment.

is it you?

have my prayers been answered?

am i dreaming once more?

you look different.

your eyes look tired.

is it really you, my love?

i am not the love you knew before.

would you fall in love with me again?

i know that you've been waiting.

what kinds of things did you do?

i traded friends like objects i could use.

all of it was to bring me back to you.

i am not the person you knew.

could you do me a favor?

a symbol of our love everlasting.

do you realize what you have asked me?

i will fall in love with you over and over again.

no matter how long it's been, you're mine.

don't tell me you're not the same person.

how long has it been?

🔴 the murders

🟢 fashion sense

Send me one RED FLAG and one GREEN FLAG for my muse.

"Hehe! Thank you for liking my outfits, I put so much time and effort into them!"

"But we don't talk about the other thing. That wasn't very nice to say."

[joque]

Red flag: clown :(

Green flag: clown :)

Send me one RED FLAG and one GREEN FLAG for my muse.

Honks menacingly.

"Just kidding! Clowns can be scary to some people, but those aren't the good clowns... I'd never hurt anyone, so I'm a good one! Reminder: a real clown is always kind and friendly!"

[joque]

Send me one RED FLAG and one GREEN FLAG for my muse.

[joque]

A high-pitched squeal of a scream leaves the clown, terrified at the revelation that he'd been there for some time now and she hadn't even noticed. Her shoes squeaked, no doubt from the downpour outside, and she found it hard to keep her footing. Joker panted as she tried to scramble away, but was betrayed by the urge to look behind her to see how close Batman was.

It was then that she slipped and fell, unable to steady herself in her panic. Her knees and palms took the brunt of it, certainly skinned and bruised now, but she started to scoot away from him, a mix of fear and confusion in her eyes. "You--you leave me alone! They deserved it, they all did!" She sniffles, unable to find something quick enough to defend herself besides a pocketknife on her person, which she unsheathes and points his way.

"I'm just trying to do what's good, so I had to do it! You don't understand!"

A traitorous burst of lightning had revealed his shadow far earlier than he intended, warning Joker of his presence. And so the chase began, Batman using his grappling hook to swing after her in a swift fashion. "You can't outrun me," he warns her, voice gravely and determined.

( from sideblog @jesytr ) ❝ You are destined for great and wonderful things, Jo. ❞

@jesytr <3

“You really think so? Ehehe!”

If there wasn’t thick, white paint covering her cheeks, there would’ve been a quite visible blush. The only parts of the redness leaking through would be her ears, something made more obvious by Jo tucking the yellow strands of her wig behind one ear.

“Oh, Harley… you’re so kind to me!” The clown’s eyes are dotted with the start of happy tears. “I do try my best, you know? I have to make the world a better place, it’s my calling! My purpose is to make an abundance of smiles and if you think I’m on the right path, I think I’m doing a great job!” Her smile is genuine, not manic. She really is happy with the praise, despite needing to wipe tears away with her gloved hands. Jo would simply sob, but she couldn’t ruin that makeup!

Instead, she throws her arms around her companion, pulling her into a hug. “You promise you’ll be there with me for it all?”
