❝ there’s no rest for me in this world. perhaps in the next. ❞  ❝ if i shall die, you shall die. ❞ ❝ did you know that madness sets you free? otherwise we’re all just peasants obeying the law. ❞ ❝ despite the bad blood, i’ll have none of it on my carpet. ❞ ❝ everyone fucking needs me. ❞  ❝ forbidding is forbidden to us. we can do anything. nothing can stop us. ❞ ❝ you know, it’s a pity. i was looking forward to killing you. you’re at the back of a long queue. ❞ ❝ the truth? you’re unlike any person i’ve ever met. ❞ ❝ i owe you a little something, don’t i? i do. ❞ ❝ the past is none of my concern. the future is none of my concern either. ❞ ❝ but there is a part of me that is unfamiliar to myself…and i keep finding myself there. ❞  ❝ i learnt long ago to hate my enemies, but i’ve never loved one before. ❞ ❝ who’s going to stop us, eh?

❞ ❝ drink the fucking wine and smile. that’s what i’m doing. ❞  ❝ you once said to me that people like us can never be loved. ❞  ❝ before the day is over, your heart will be broken. ❞ ❝ what do you think i am, hm? you think i’m a fucking idiot. ❞ ❝ we can walk away from all this. it’s so easy. ❞ ❝ rule one: don’t punch above your weight. ❞ ❝ if i come for you, i will wear high heels so you can hear my approach on the cobblestones, and have time to repent. ❞  ❝ my brother and i are the same person. ❞

there are some things you just don’t say on the dash and taylor is the reason.

@wtrss sent:  ❝ i don’t mind putting my worthless ass on the line. but not yours. ❞ yIKES. ez

          it typically takes a great deal to get ezra worked up, all things considered.       for anyone who knows their family, it’s easy to see that the younger of the brothers largely takes after his father, a man of exceedingly even temperament and wisdom beyond his years all his life, if miriam’s stories of their early courtship are to be believed.  but that certainly doesn’t make him infallible, does not make him less human, does not mean that his feathers   never   get ruffled.  the sommerfeld fire  -  that signature  chaos  that seemingly defines his mother and brother  -  still runs through his veins, and in some moments, he feels it burn hot in a way he’s never quite accustomed to.

          this is one of those moments.  he’s not angry  at  her, of course, nor anything in particular, but the sentiment sparks something inside him that sends whatever beast lays dormant inside him growling.  he stifles it  -  of course he does  -  but he must still at least look indignant, based on the way he feels his brow furrow and the corners of his mouth fold in on themselves in a pronounced frown.  it’s not unfamiliar to him, the kind of tragic unyielding self-loathing she now displays ;  in fact, it sounds   remarkably   like the flippant sort of comments his brother might make  -  although from sim it would certainly come with more vitriol.  and in that vein, he knows what she’s  doing,  at least to a point.  ezra considers himself at least mostly naive when it comes to anything having to do with   love,   but he’s at the least clever enough to decode what he’s seeing.

          ❛   absolutely  not,  hey!  we’re not using the W-word here, okay?   ❜   he answers with a decisive shake of his head.  he doesn’t sound angry, precisely, but there’s certainly a firm set to his tone that’s rare for a man with such a typically   quiet   demeanor.   (  the gentle brother he may be, but that doesn’t mean he won’t dig his heels in with the same stubbornness when he’s truly set on something.  )   ❛   can you  -  hey,  look at me, won’t you?   ❜   he dips his head slightly, trying to catch her eyes, his own deep blues dark with concern.   ❛   first of all, this is definitely my problem, too.  and if  ...  if you and me?  if this is something?  then we’re in this together, it’s not  your  ass or  my  ass on the line, it’s one  singular  ass.   ❜   he almost cringes at that, but opts instead to hope she finds it at least somewhat   endearing.   ❛   I can’t make you do anything, paige, obviously, and I wouldn’t!  but you can’t stop me being there for you.  please  ...  please  don’t try to stop me being there for you.   ❜   his voice goes soft, not so much a command now as a   plea.  lifting one hand, he carefully brushes some hair behind her ear, trying to smile.   ❛   if  -  if you need to push me away, okay, fine, I get it, but it seems like a waste if I’ll be there  waiting  anyway, doesn’t it?  makes more sense to just  ...  work together and find an answer.  two halves of a whole ass.  and nothing  -   nothing   -  worthless about it, do you hear me?   ❜

as someone who can’t stand journey, i hate that ezra would love journey.

[paprazi]

what i’m saying is that you shouldn’t befriend ezra in more than a superficial way if don’t want him to decide he wants to learn how to play pickleball or decorate cakes or make homemade soap and sweet talk you into going to community ed classes with him

[paprazi]

there were several points growing up where ezra definitely wasn’t the center of attention considering all his brother’s catastrophes and he really is too worried about being a burden to ask for the attention he wants / needs so particularly in his adolescence and teenage years, he filled his time by teaching himself a variety of random skills.

he took auto shop class in middle / high school and expanded on that knowledge tremendously in his free time, he learned to play the flute in school band and then also taught himself guitar, he was on the nyc cycling team during his undergrad and took horseback riding lessons, he writes poetry and some music  ( but only for himself ) ,  he’s pretty into pickling / fermenting stuff and always has a huge jar of homemade sauerkraut in his fridge and usually pickles, he’s constantly brewing batches of kombucha in his apartment, he can’t keep a houseplant alive but he’s learned a TON about outdoor gardening from his mom, he’s taken a variety of community ed classes in everything from sculpture to knitting to fencing to chess.  he always has a fucking podcast to recommend if someone asks and listens to either that or the great courses plus when he runs or cooks.

the sommerfeld way is being unable to remain idle, but unlike his brother, who typically needs to be physically moving at all time, ezra has an almost compulsive need for his brain to be engaged in learning something new or he Dies.

me without my glasses, squinting to figure out whether a pinterest thumbnail is zac or dacre:  wonder if this is how miriam sommerfeld feels looking at thumbnails of her sons on her phone.
