꩜ “ WHAT ABOUT IT ? ” guilty is scrawled repeatedly on his skin in marker, just like the drawling of insults and phone numbers plastered over blackwell’s bathroom walls, that’s what, IDIOT. aggression borne of your own complacency in self destruction. nose scrunches in accustomed rage, externally it manifests — soon it’ll change his bone structure to a ever-permanent snarl, with his brows in their usual furrowing position, barely concealing a newly gained black eye.

[ … IT’S AN AWARD. proof that his teeth still indent, that he can draw blood, that he can withstand beating after beating. ] “ mind your own business why don’t ya ? aren’t you some visitor ? ” a petty chuckle, gritted teeth upturned in a mocking little smirk, “ you’re on prescott turf now, bitch. ”

CW: body horror

If I left you my letters as an offering will you put them together for me ? Form endless strings of words and attach them to anything you deem familiar In me ?

Wrap me up in poetry?

Is the cup half full or half empty? I’m not sure anymore. But the content of that cup Is all that’s left of my share of happiness in this world and I’m willing to give it to you…

So why do you have to die thirsty?

Melancholy is rotting Inside of me along with all the expired love I’ve never got to express.

I’m lost in the motions of life with my dreams as a background sound, they play on repeat and i can’t stand them anymore.

For a minute there, I felt like I can’t stand myself; how do I expect that from anyone else if I can’t do it myself?

So I thought, maybe... If I managed to love myself I’ll be able to convince you that I’m in fact lovable.

Now that i overcompensated. that I did what you deemed impossible. Now, that I’m so full of myself

How do i fit you ?

i know where you were all weekend .

life is raw , everybody medicates .

i love you . call me , okay ?

am i hallucinating ?

come on , or you'll miss it .

can i start over ? please .

i'm going to make sure you don't remember a thing .

playing with time is such difficult magic .

don't bother trying to compare yourself .

it's good to be aware the world is blatantly unfair .

it's my fault that they said that .

if you think my family is some sort of advantage , you've been misinformed .

maybe i wouldn't let myself forget .

that was before i knew there was something else .

it's really okay if this is not your thing .

you're hurting yourself , & you're not okay .

i just needed to see if i was right .

we've been watching you for quite a while now .

hello ? do you need help ?

you feel right because you're starting towards your destiny .

for some reason , you're involved . so be involved .

look , hold that thought , okay ?

i'm obviously coming with you .

there's no such thing as safe magic .

what is this place exactly , besides a health hazard ?

you ask a lot of questions .

jesus , you didn't tell me you were dangerous .

it's a little bit bigger than messing up .

there's a bad story every few years around here .

can you just help me live with myself ?

i'm gonna tell you something deep & dark & personal now .

i'm trying to tell you , you are not alone here .

i don't know . i wanna be your friend , i guess .

you should hate me right now .

the last thing i wanted to do growing up was read fantasy .

let's just say life wasn't exactly non-stop fun growing up .

if you're guilty , i'm guilty .

come do something stupid with me before you go .

okay , you know what ? i'm not interested in your personal issues .

this isn't just some lark to me , just so you know .

i mean seriously , what do they expect , you know ?

look , you can't run away from you .

there's nothing i can do in this moment to stop the comet from crashing into the earth , is there ?

i keep trying to tell myself that this is somehow better .

you don't see color & want to go back to black & white .

you can't help , & i can't help you .

what the hell was that , you maniac ?

why would you ever trust anyone ?

i'm willing to teach the right people what i know . & i know a lot .

you're lucky i can fix this .

hey , have you heard of karma ? sometimes it's instant .

i'm generous with you , considering .

get me everything on this list . this week .

why even ask , if you'll just forget it again ?

that's not a real answer .

you're a much better liar than i expected you to be .

do you think you have a destiny ?

there is no destiny . no born heroes .

you can either step up to it or not , that's up to you .

this is your problem , that you should solve !
