ok hello friends!!! need to know... lestat or alucard.

[instatera]

this thing between us.

dialogue prompts from this thing between us: a novel by gus moreno.

you dared me.

no heaven. no hell. do not collect 200 dollars.

i was trying to think like you.

the longest relationship i had before meeting you was with a leather jacket.

people want to believe their experience is universal.

what they say: 'call me'. what they mean: 'it's your responsibility to let me know when to actually care'.

what dead person didn't have a great smile? a great laugh?

you have to listen to this song. it'll help.

tragedy brings people together.

we both know i'm not alone here.

if you feel like you're going to be alone, you won't be.

i love you. you're stuck with me.

i'm too sleepy to be scared.

i still pull your hair out of my shirts.

people can be good, if you're patient with them.

come with me if you want to live and let live.

we have to at least try.

can you pull over?

my life's become the second act of a dateline special.

i come from a long line of natural-born fuckups.

you're the only person i'd choose to sit in a car with in heavy traffic.

i wasn't there, and i should have been.

i don't want to get over anything. i want to sink as far as it will take me.

i'm gonna miss you, kid.

you've got the address. come visit.

i need proof this is really you and not something else.

let go. you can't hold on so tight.

you've got so many boundaries around you.

the earth is not a good place. you live on the edge of a blade.

not everything has to mean something.

age before beauty.

would you believe me if i said i missed you?

you're grown enough to live with your mistakes.

i'm not telling you to believe me. i'm just telling you what's happening.

i'm done with knowing things and figuring things out.

i'd kill you for killing yourself.

i'm more tired than i've ever been. it's in my bones.

you've never had any problems with evil spirits, have you?

i'm sorry. for the things that still need to be written out.

it looks like it hurts when you smile.

i'm afraid that when we die, we end up where we always thought we'd end up.

all i want is to sit in that darkness with you.

when the world ends, this would be a pretty cool place to hole up.

take a stress pill.

you left me behind the first chance you got.

only in the darkness are we ever made whole.

[instatera]

THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER SENTENCE STARTERS

❛ I'm sorry for your loss, your...your losses, rather. ❜

❛ Nobody gets away with anything. Not really. ❜

❛ Don't lecture me about family values. You're just as shit in that department as I am. ❜

❛ That day was the last day we were all in the same place. Alive. ❜

❛ They will love you because I love you, and the only thing stronger than love is how scared they are of getting cut out of the will. ❜

❛ And most people go their whole, wasted, stupid lives without one minute of true resolution. Not me though. ❜

❛ You know what a resolution is? It's a deal you make with the future. ❜

❛ The people in charge of making us healthy make us sick. We cheat the dying. We fleece the poor. Promote the racist. Let the demons run amok. This world needs changing. ❜

❛ You're supposed to be shadowing me. Shadows don't fucking talk. ❜

❛ This is beneath you. And you're going to kill it. But you're better than all of this. And the minute you figure that out, you're going to be unstoppable. ❜

❛ There's no such thing as a step back. You go forward. If you hit a brick wall, you don't go back, you go through. ❜

❛ Nearly realized is the sweetest. It's better, I promise, in the moment just before than in the moment after. ❜

❛ You are consequence. And tonight, you are consequential. ❜

❛ You are a pretty, pretty little thing. ❜

❛ You wonder why people hate us. This is why. ❜

❛ Everybody knows that edible arrangements are what you send to people you hate. ❜

❛ If you start thinking this is reality, you'll just slip into the abyss. ❜

❛ We can talk about it after because I've had a shit day and I really just wanna starfish and forget the world. ❜

❛ Don't talk to me until I've come at least twice. ❜

❛ I love how deliciously, pointlessly mean you lot can be. ❜

❛ You still didn't need to come here though. It could have happened quiet. Peaceful. In bed. But I guess it's got to happen like this. ❜

❛ It's amazing how far you can get on denial. You know why so many people use denial to get by? Because it really fucking works. ❜

❛ You can't enhance this image? You see it all the time on TV. They hit a button, it enhances it. ❜

❛ I don't even own anything funeral black. ❜

❛ Satin is silk for poor people, no one should wear it to a funeral, unless they died in it. ❜

❛ Nobody knows they're the fall guy until they're falling.❜

❛ Women are the natural leaders of the species. Ancient Egypt had it right. ❜

❛ Okay, just because the door's open doesn't necessarily guarantee you a seat at the table. ❜

❛ You're not who I thought you were. ❜

❛ I really didn't want to think it, but...you're all fucking monsters. ❜

❛ Watching you shit on your principles would have been worth every fucking penny. ❜

❛ The mind of guilt is full of scorpions. And I wouldn't wish their sting on anyone. ❜

❛ Don't have to be smart to be dangerous. I'm not scared of rattlesnakes 'cause they're so smart. ❜

❛ You're so out of touch with your human side...you can't even listen to anything outside your own head. ❜

❛ I haven't seen you sleep in like...I mean, it's been a fucking long time. Like, horror movie long. ❜

❛ Life is insane. It is madness. The sooner you understand that, the better off you'll be. ❜

❛ The world might not be safe but listen to me, and listen carefully. I won't let anything happen to you. ❜

❛ All these terrible things and I thought, that's when people come together. But we've never been further apart. ❜

❛ Tell me it's worth it. Tell me you know the risk and I'll be there with you. I'll back you up. Just tell me. ❜

❛ Shut your mouth, get your shit together. The fuck is wrong with you? ❜

❛ Men, when they think they're immortal, all they want to do is fuck. When they figure out they're going to die, all they want to do is fuck. ❜

❛ It just makes you think, you know, life is so fucking short. ❜

❛ You don't have to be a tyrant, but if you don't want to be consistently cruel, then you have to be sufficiently brutal at least once to establish authority. ❜

❛ I thought it was an act. I figured you just played the housewife so you could keep a roof over your head. Spread your legs or suck his dick twice a week and you're set. You never have to work a day in your life. And I thought, "Good for her, she found her angle," but...this is really you. Isn't it? ❜

❛ Words got us into this, words can get us out. ❜

❛ You're a collection of impeccable, elaborate masks in orbit of a stunted heart. ❜

❛ There are certain things one shouldn't have to face in life. Time enough for self-reflection after. ❜

❛ I don't normally like to get my hands this dirty, but honey, you earned it. ❜

❛ I see you now. I look at you and I see... You. The poverty of you. ❜

❛ The real world is Darwinian. Survival, chaos, power. Leverage. ❜

❛ You feel it. In the air. We're sitting outside of time and space. ❜

❛ This is the moment luck meets opportunity. ❜

❛ In the ancient world, we'd seal this with blood, or spit. And then later, papyrus. But, a deal's a deal all over the world. ❜

❛ We're a... virus, I think. People, I mean. ❜

❛ But everyone loves something. And in that love there's collateral. ❜

❛ I say this with love. Let it go. Let it all go. ❜

❛ So I say, we stand tall and proud. Bill's come due. Let's not hide here in the basement like we've got something to be ashamed of. No. Not us. You and me against the world. ❜

❛ It may not have been perfect, but you can't say we didn't change the world. How many people can say that at the end? ❜

❛ I knew I would climb to the top of the tower on a pile of corpses. ❜

❛ It don't matter in the end why you did any of it. I don't fucking care why you did it. We don't want your confession, or your rationale, or your explanation. ❜

* @lordsrot !

" i tire of this. " she speaks into an otherwise quiet room, the crackling of the nearby hearth doing little to aid the heaviness in her words as she collapses in a squeaking armchair. " of what i am not exactly sure. the eons of existence, the incessant resurgence of those who would do all of humanity harm, or my own mind. i can't be assured that a choice i made when i was but a young woman was worth the cost i endured. "

she leans forward, elbows on her knees. " all for a man who tossed me aside, and a love i cannot remember. how much must i continue to shoulder? when does it end? when do i find my peace? " there's an exhaled breath and she settles back into the chair once more, palm covering her lips. " i apologize. i do realize this is none of your concern. i only wished to vent my troubles to the wind, for once. " gaze shifts to agra, her voyeur to this outburst. " hundreds of years to settle with your emotions do little to ease them, i've found. "

[instatera]

* @dreadgrace !

" i understand not why you put such walls up with me, lark. do i offer you any suggestion that i am untrustworthy? i have little pride left and you continue to squander it. " fingers are pressed to the bridge of her nose as she turns away from the other, wrists jingling idly with her stacked bracelets. " nevermind. useless to ask you questions i will never receive answers to. if you intend to continue to treat our relationship like this.. maybe it's best we part ways. " understanding lark was no more easier for isvir than deciphering a foreign text, a mystical riddle. she was a crypt held tight, a locked chest with no key and frankly, the goddess grew weary. " i do not wish to do anything but help you. all i have ever wanted to do is lift some of the burden you carry all your own. i understand this is easier said then done, but ... what else can i offer? "

[instatera]

* @moonsworn ! lei .

isvir is amusedly watching leitha with interest, the stoney wall before them unmoving, despite the magic wafting off of it. " i think it might budge if you were to kick it, perhaps? " she inquires in a tone that's quite obviously teasing. a finger rests under her lower lip to hide the quivering laughter that has settled itself in her chest, but she swallows it with a sigh.

" lei, we should go back the way we came, i don't think whatever arcane tampering that seals this passage is going to give way without some sort of ... password? who knows what kind of spell it is. maybe we missed a scroll or important stone or.. " goddess hums, occupied hand sporting a ball of daylight held out in front of her. " maybe we come back another day with heaps of smokepowder. " if she were in normal sorts, it would be possible she could simply snap her fingers and will it to open, but alas, she was mortal now. as mortal as she could be, anyway.

[instatera]

new psd also she's so pretty thank you

[instatera]

* @shadowsfell ! wyll .

there is a sinking feeling. a weight carried upon her shoulders that no other can seem to understand, but wyll tries, isvir thinks. always one to bear the burdens of others, a kind heart among monsters. how little he knew of her, yet still... he is who he is. she stirs early, the sun not yet peaking over grassy hills and decides upon a walk. she craves the chirping of insects, the twittering of birds. the ground is damp, slightly muddy and it dirties her skirts as she leaves the safety of her tent. it seems though, she was not the only early riser. isvir spots the target of her previous thoughts leaving his own tent and she waves in greeting. " the sun has yet to show her face, but it seems both of us are eager to meet her. " goddess pokes mild fun, drawing a shawl over her shoulders. " would you entertain me on a morning stroll? i wish to acquire your perspective on some things. "

[instatera]

Rashida Tlaib has set up a petition to send to the White House to recognize and stop the ethnic cleansing and forced displacement happening in Gaza. If you’re a US citizen please sign. I have no illusions that this will change policy, but the public outcry against their actions must continue. We will not be distracted or discouraged from continuing to object to these humans rights violations.
