"I can't say I'm surprised to see this is where you ended up."
The voice, familiar but like a distant memory, produced a startling involuntary effect; goosebumps rose all over Negan's body. He was immediately up off his cot, on his feet, and then at the bars of his cell. You hadn't come into the light yet. Your silhouette was still in the doorway. "You're shitting me..." Negan murmured, more to himself than you. He thought sincerely for a moment that he'd finally cracked, lost his gourd, gone completely batty from staring at those same walls. Surely, he was imagining you. He reached out and gripped the chill iron bars of his cell. "You're not here," he said into the space, asserting it as a fact.
Echoing footsteps and the vision of you stepping into the light, the same but changed, told him he was wrong. You had a scar on your chin that you didn't have before and you were older, like he was of course. He could still picture you exactly the way you'd been when you'd walked out of his life, and it didn't entirely match this version. "You think you're imagining me?" you asked him.
His breath left this lungs in a rush. "Fuck me. I thought I was. Now I see that I'm not," Negan said, his hazel eyes fixed intensely on your face. "Where in holy fucking hell have you been?" He was drinking you in with his eyes.
You gulped. "You really think I'm going to tell you?"
Negan laughed dryly. "You see where I am, right? What's the harm?"
You still didn't answer, just seemed to study him. You hated to admit it, but your heart still raced at the sight of him, even all these years later.
"I looked everywhere for you," he said, leaning against the bars on his forearm, stretching his tall, lean frame out.
"Trust me, I know," you said plainly.
Negan's voice was lower, had an ache in it when next he spoke. "Do you have any idea what you runnin' off did to me?"
You nodded. "Some."
Negan sighed and shook his head vaguely, unable to pull his eyes away from you for even a split second. "Baby, I would have burned the whole world for you."
A shaky breath left your lips and you fought the tears burning in your eyes. "I never asked for that."
"I know. And I still would have done it."
Prompt: "I would have burned the whole world for you."
Actually yall, the game sums up Gortash himself pretty accurately:
"There is a light in every living thing. It's crawling t'wards the surface to survive. And in its wake, it tramples everything. We'll kill the rest, so that the one can thrive."
It's one of the plays in Lenores Tower. It antagonises Bernard if you reply to him with this.
Quite ironic that a robot attacks you if you say smth to him that is scrutinising Gortash's world view, isn't it?
And it's even more funny that Bernard still shows up in the Steelwatch Foundry (albeit much more pocket sized and kinda dead) if you don't antagonise him, fucking isn't it?
And the ultimate peak is that Bernard's head makes it there not because Gortash found it. Ketheric (who's dead atp) found it and send it. 'Well kill the rest', fucking funny isn't it? Isn't it?
THIS IS ABOUT GORTASH I WILL NOT HEAR OTHER WISE. I CAN'T HEAR YOU LARIAN. I REFUSE TO. SHOULDN'T HAVE WRITTEN IT LIKE THAT IF IT WASN'T ABOUT HIM. DON'T FUCKING UNDERESTIMATE JUST HOW GOOD I AM AT SUBVERTING WORDS AND INTERPRETING MEANING INTO SHIT. SHOULD'VE CONSIDERED A MANIAC COMES ALONG IF YOU MAKE THE TYRANT EMO AND USE JASON ISAACS AS HIS FUCKING VA.
funniest part about the terrorist pagers blowing up? I guarantee there's a bunch of guys out in the desert that still have no idea it was everyone. never traded contacts, don't have reception, thumbs up their butts with RPGs and rockets ready but no idea wtf is even going on, shitting themselves.
My Roman Empire is the official Mercedes Amg tiktok posting a Toto version of the “I’m looking for a man in finance” meme and then immediately deleting it afterwards, like honestly I love it so much I’m so sad the admin deleted it (but luckily someone saved it and posted it again)
what was the context for the line "so I messed up first, you messed up worse" in the DL song? it's such a funny line but I don't remember anyone talking about it
