❝ a less trusting person might think this all sounds very suspicious. ❞ ❝ you say all the right words, but i’m not sure you mean the right things. ❞ ❝ i know somewhere quiet. somewhere intimate. somewhere we can…indulge in each other. ❞ ❝ eugh, don’t be nice to me. it makes me want to be nice back. ❞ ❝ we needn’t be enemies. there’s plenty of those to go around already. ❞ ❝ there’s a steeliness to you, an unwavering tenacity in the face of, to be frank, quite dire odds. ❞ ❝ even the waves of fate can break upon the shores of will. ❞ ❝ i appreciate anyone that opens a conversation with threats of bodily harm. ❞ ❝ oh, you know me - ever the optimist. i’m trying to focus on the positives. ❞ ❝ i’m not easily impressed by people, but you’re stronger than i gave you credit for. ❞ ❝ there’s an air about you. something alien. ❞ ❝ loosen the grip on your pride for one blasted moment, won’t you? ❞ ❝ it’s been a long time since someone stuck their neck out for me like that. ❞ ❝ there’s something odd about this village. people skulk around like they’ve something to hide. ❞ ❝ you know, if you want to spend time with me, you only have to say so. ❞ ❝ i want to know what the world sees when it looks at me. what you see. ❞ ❝ what’s better than a devil you don’t know? a devil you do. ❞ ❝ you must know that you’re…that you’re very special to me. ❞ ❝ the gods are nothing if not vindictive in their vengeance. ❞ ❝ stay with me a while, will you? day will come all too soon. ❞ ❝ here’s my little treat with their cheeks all flushed. ❞ ❝ i am terrified. i will not claim otherwise. ❞ ❝ my apologies. i’m not quite myself yet. i had the strangest dream last night. ❞ ❝ we didn’t die today. tomorrow, perhaps. but not today. ❞ ❝ leader’s need to make tough decisions. we do what we must. ❞ ❝ i think that unknowable powers come with unknowable consequences. ❞ ❝ i’ve had a lifetime’s fill of watching little men puff themselves up with grand titles. ❞ ❝ in these times, all we can trust are the blades in our hands. ❞ ❝ it’s not easy to turn away from one you once loved. ❞ ❝ much has been promised to you, hasn’t it? but what has been taken from you? ❞ ❝ damn it all. i can do nothing right - not a damn thing. ❞ ❝ every instinct i have tells me that nothing’s changed. that i’m still just a means to an end. ❞ ❝ do not speak of a story you only know the half of. ❞ ❝ i dreamt every night that you’d come back to me. that somehow it was all a nightmare dawn would undo. ❞ ❝ when the time comes to strike, you must take it. for there may be only one chance. ❞ ❝ your eyes. there is pain, endless and deep. but also devotion - blazing like the sun. ❞ ❝ you’re adorable even when you’re teasing me. ❞ ❝ i don’t need your help, and i don’t need your pity. ❞ ❝ i’m more than what i was. and i’m not afraid of anything any more. ❞ ❝ i said exactly what i meant: i love you. you should never, never doubt that. ❞ ❝ this is all like some sort of terrible dream. but it’s real, isn’t it? ❞ ❝ there is no redemption. can’t you see? it is too late. ❞ ❝ i don’t know that it was brave. i just know that it was right. ❞ ❝ you took those bastards down like it was nothing. it…was amazing. ❞ ❝ they underestimated me. so they paid the price. ❞ ❝ we fight, we die, and we just hope that when our time comes, there is someone else to take our place. ❞ ❝ unfortunately for me, you’re my friend. rescuing you from mortal peril is my right. ❞ ❝ what did you think i was going to say? 'oh, come here, i'll kiss you better'? ❞ ❝ flowers are so overrated. they're bright, gaudy, and almost never make good poisons. ❞ ❝ i’ve been lied to, my whole life. and i was gullible enough to just believe it. ❞ ❝ you know, i never pictured myself as a hero. never thought i'd be the one they toast for saving so many lives. and now that i'm here…i hate it. ❞ ❝ you know, i feel a connection between us. like we're two souls walking the same path. ❞ ❝ the forgiving sort, are you? you should be careful. plenty would take advantage of that. ❞

❝ it’s as if god made you just to ruin me. ❞ ❝ perish the thought. every word i said was nothing less than true. ❞ ❝ you have a manner of irresistible desperation about you. i like it. ❞ ❝ i got my eye on you. you got the look of a troublemaker. ❞ ❝ i’m starting to think you’re my guardian angel. ❞ ❝ it seems you know me better than i know myself. ❞ ❝ you…you have no idea what you’ve done. ❞ ❝ they say madness and genius are separated by but a hair’s breadth. perhaps the same is true of madness and stupidity. ❞ ❝ oh, it’s you. don’t you get tired of telling people how to live their lives? ❞ ❝ good morning! thank you for not killing me the other night. ❞ ❝ when the time comes to strike, you must take it. for there may be only one chance. ❞ ❝ it is good to savour the moment of victory - but pace bg3 syourself. our fight is just beginning. ❞ ❝ i was too hasty to judge you. i thought you were witless, gutless, unimpressivably bland… ❞ ❝ yours is the first happy face i’ve seen in a good while. ❞ ❝ when hope has been whittled down to the very marrow of despair – that’s when you’ll come knocking on my door. ❞ ❝ thank you, my friend. maybe we’ll meet again, in another life. ❞ ❝ you’ll regret sticking your nose in my business. ❞

𝐈. be a decent human being. we are all writers just trying to enjoy some time away from the stress of reality. this is the least you can do.

𝐈𝐈. i do not do follow for follow all the time. i apologize if this offends some people. i want to keep my space as safe as i can for myself. that being said, i am more likely to follow back if you make an attempt to speak to me.

𝐈𝐈𝐈. i do not practice exclusivity with people i hardly know. however, i am much more open to mains. and when i take on mains, it will only ever be limited to three of a character. that being said, when i am writing with a certain character i do not seek out others writing that character. i also will always be respectful to my writing partner.

𝐈𝐕. i admit that i love writing ships and shippy things. however, i do not ship easily unless we are friends. also, our muses must have chemistry. sometimes that is only discoverable after writing back and forth a few times.

𝐕. everything that i create here is mine unless i have stated otherwise. please do not copy or steal anything from this blog.

𝐪𝐮𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭  \  sentence starter pack,  i.  feel free to change wording  \  pronouns as you see fit. 

i see beautiful things around you. 

the blood is flowing. 

what have i become? 

i fucked up. 

it’s all in your head. 

i’m just a walking failure. 

i hope you’ll suffer. 

i used to be nice. 

some times i think, some times i don’t. 

my mind is a mess. 

don’t let me be gone. 

power is power. 

i wasn’t born to be soft and quiet. 

i was born to make the world shatter and shake at my finger tips. 

you are the blood under my nails. 

the fire i began is eating me alive. 

i could keep you safe. 

they’re all afraid of me. 

turn that pain into power. 

all that’s left is a ghost of you. 

so much pain for someone so young. 

i had a son. 

i want to hurt them as much as they hurt me. 

here comes trouble. 

felling sad? join a cult. 

don’t bleed on my floor.

fight it, or accept it. 

fear it, or control it. 

hungry dogs are never loyal. 

i am everything you can’t control. 

the chains are broken, but are you truly free? 

i may be heartless, but you’re naive. 

who the fuck do you think you are? 

i am not who i was. 

they’re dead because of you. 

i am the monster you created.

still, i don’t feel in control some times. 

tell me what it’s like to burn. 

something isn’t right with me. 

you save everyone, but who saves you? 

we’ll never be those kids again. 

and here you are, living, despite it all. 

i’d rather be spitting blood. 

you don’t have to listen. 

you were dead, yet here you are. 

i love you just a little too much. 

they wanna see you do good. 

the devil ain’t got not sympathy for me. 

i am mine. before i am anyone else’s. 

i wanted to be the knife.

                       𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞?

      𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞   𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠   a   sea   of   emotions,   responsibilities,   people,   things,   everything.   you   just   can’t   handle   it   all,   you   need   to   escape,   but   you   can’t.   even   talking   to   someone   and   being   told   it’s   okay,   compliments,   nice   things   people   say,   it   all   adds   up   to   drown   you   further.   guilt,   for   feeling   this   way   when   everyone’s   being   nice   and   you’re   not   enough.         will   you   sink   or   swim?

𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮?

𝐲𝐨𝐮   𝐚𝐫𝐞   𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐞,   from   the   theban   plays   by   sophocles.   you   are   bold,   unwavering   in   your   morals   and   your   passion,   an   unstoppable   force   of   nature.   but   when   you   go   head-to-head   with   an   immovable   object,   your   ideals   can   lead   you   to   self-destruction.   you   are   stubbornly   resilient   and   fearless   to   a   fault,   and   aren’t   afraid   to   stand   alone   in   the   face   of   death.   antigone,   in   your   quest   for   justice,   don’t   forget:   you   are   allowed   to   step   back,   to   love   life   a   little,   to   be   young   once   more   before   soldiering   on   to   the   very   very   end.   be   selfish   in   your   fierceness,   just   once.
