QUEEN OF THE DAMNED (2002) SENTENCE STARTERS
❛ There comes a time for every vampire when the idea of eternity becomes momentarily unbearable. ❜
❛ Immortality seems like a good idea until you realize you’re going to spend it alone. ❜
❛ With one sentence, I betrayed everything about my kind. Betrayed our code of secrecy. ❜
❛ All that you’ve ever dreamed of, I’m going to make yours. This is your lucky day. ❜
❛ Giving the world a new god. Me. ❜
❛ I’ve hidden in the shadows for centuries. It’s time to share myself with the world. ❜
❛ Could you prove it? You know, give us a demonstration of your powers. ❜
❛ Won’t these vampires be pissed off that you’re giving away secrets? ❜
❛ Come out, come out, wherever you are. ❜
❛ A voice calling to me in my dreams. ❜
❛ I don’t want you to go. But you must. ❜
❛ You must be with your own. ❜
❛ l’ll always be watching over you. ❜
❛ I want to stay with you forever. ❜
❛ I think that it’s a vampire coven. ❜
❛ We record and observe, but never interfere. ❜
❛ I had to see it for myself. ❜
❛ Promise me you’ll never go back to that place. ❜
❛ I doubt they’ll find you. You’re a long way from home. ❜
❛ You’re weak, near passing. I can barely hear your heartbeat. ❜
❛ You will help me understand these times. That’s why I chose you. ❜
❛ Drink and live. ❜
❛ Don’t be afraid. It’s only your body that dies. ❜
❛ A vampire’s life is a life of discretion. ❜
❛ Why must we hide? We are the powerful, we are the immortal. We should walk fearless in the open, no? ❜
❛ You must be dead to the world. ❜
❛ You still have a few lingering mortal emotions. They’ll serve you no good, my friend. ❜
❛ The faces of my victims haunted me, reminding me of my fate. ❜
❛ Would you like me to play for you? ❜
❛ She respects nothing except the taste of blood, human and immortal alike. ❜
❛ My teacher left me to my darkest lesson. That in the end, we are alone. ❜
❛ There aren’t any ancients left. They all turned to dust. So unless you’ve got him in a bottle somewhere. ❜
❛ Now this will only hurt a little bit. In fact, you might even enjoy it. ❜
❛ You should be more careful. ❜
❛ How presumptuous. ❜
❛ I know a lot of things. ❜
❛ What else do you think you know? ❜
❛ You’re shaking. ❜
❛ Go on. Tell me more about me. ❜
❛ Well that makes you a very clever librarian. ❜
❛ Don’t worry. Your kind never satisfies my thirst. ❜
❛ Listen to me very carefully now. You are no longer seeing things clearly. ❜
❛ Still wearing the old fashions, I see. ❜
❛ How did you manage to slip through the ‘50s in red velvet? ❜
❛ After all this time, what’s the occasion? ❜
❛ Oh, please. It’s a little too late to come over all paternal now. ❜
❛ You almost cost me everything. Now you’ve done it again. ❜
❛ Vampires don’t settle old scores. We harbor them. ❜
❛ I’ve always known where you are. ❜
❛ Besides, l just had to look for the most gauche house on the block. ❜
❛ Did you think of anyone but yourself? ❜
❛ I only have myself. You taught me that. ❜
❛ It may be time to get ready for some company. ❜
❛ Can’t you hear it? Or is the applause all you can hear now? ❜
❛ We were once mortals too. It is our heritage we protect. ❜
❛ Such reverence for mortals. Then you should have left me as one. ❜
❛ All he’s going to remind you of soon is a pile of bones. ❜
❛ Better dead than alone. ❜
❛ Oh, my God, I can’t believe it’s really you! I’m your biggest fan. ❜
❛ Why are you following me? What do you want? ❜
❛ So you come all this way just to return this to me? Out of the goodness of your heart? ❜
❛ I want you to show me what it’s like. To be like you. ❜
❛ How are you going to spend your last night, as you always have, alone? ❜
❛ You’re beautiful to me because you’re human. ❜
❛ Your frailty, your short years, your heart, even as you think it’s breaking. All that seems suddenly more precious than anything I have ever known. ❜
❛ I’m not as precious as you think. ❜
❛ Let me be with you. Let me know everything. ❜
❛ Now you see?! Are you ready?! Now do you want it?! ❜
❛ Why so surprised, my love? You called, I have come. ❜
❛ You thought it was all you? The ego of a king as well. ❜
❛ I know that you crave to have the world at your feet. And I have come to give it to you. ❜
❛ We live everywhere and anywhere we choose. The world is our garden. ❜
❛ For the first time in my life, I feel like I’m home. ❜
❛ Strange that this journey should lead me here. This place that’s haunted my dreams. ❜
❛ Forever is a very long time. ❜
❛ You haven’t aged, you haven’ t changed at all. ❜
❛ My way of coping with eternity. ❜
❛ You are what keeps me connected to the world of the living. ❜
❛ This is but a taste of what we shall share, my love. ❜
❛ They believed in nothing. Now they are nothing. ❜
❛ We will give the world something to believe in again. ❜
❛ My children. It warms my blood to see you all gathered, plotting against me. ❜
❛ We’ve found other ways to coexist. ❜
❛ They are nothing to us. They are merely food. ❜
❛ You think you can change my will? ❜
❛ I’ve had enough of this discussion. Join me or die. ❜
❛ You will not touch her! ❜
❛ You still think to challenge me? ❜
❛ You kill me, you kill yourselves. ❜
❛ She’s not dead. She sleeps. ❜
❛ No, I’m too old to live forever. ❜
❛ Well, if you ever change your mind… ❜
❛ So this is goodbye. ❜

dark angel ask meme
all quotes are taken from season 1, episode 1: pilot. feel free to change pronouns as needed!
it’s not fair. i get back at 3am, you’re still out. i wake up and you’ve already been up, bopping around for an hour.
i think it’s working. i feel almost human.
i was an instrument of the most high.
i begged, i pleaded, i pissed, i moaned. but i gotta do what i gotta do.
wanna be rich, listen to the bitch.
okay, let’s do this.
how did you do that?
you’re not still pissed off?
try having a relationship with you, ___, it’s like staring in a fog bank. you’re trying to have something but you have no idea where you are.
you keep everyone at arm’s length like you got a big, dark secret going on.
you’re right, i was angry at you.
could you ever forgive me?
i see the perimeter defense system is still fully intact.
at least i tried.
he’s just trying to blame you because he’s a slut.
it’s just mysterious.
you have a punk-ass mouth on you, kid.
you got somethin’ for me or what.
sorry, i was nine at the time.
who’s this guy, he’s not who we were looking for.
maybe you could give me something more on her… some detail… anything…
she was nice.
yeah, that’s vague.
i think she was a nurse.
like i’m shocked to hear you say that.
i won’t hurt you!
put it down! now!
i was expecting someone else.
i’d love to hang and discuss art, but i gotta jet.
by the way, love your show.
just thought maybe he’d like some coffee with his saliva.
playing hooky again?
don’t believe everything you hear on tv.
i got to go.
i figure this is how our visitor last night got in.
if i just got my ass handed to me by a size three, i might mind my own business.
hey, we got to talk
i need your help, __.
i don’t see how you cheating on __ involves me.
i am a victim here.
does this other person have a name?
i’m a toy to her.
has it occurred to you to tell __ the truth?
look, __, i made a terrible mistake, one i’ll never make again.
i’m looking for a young lady that works here.
i say, leave __ out to dry.
we didn’t get a chance to finish our conversation last night.
sorry about your window.
let me get my coat.
how’d you find me?
so you tracked me down. what do you think?
that was an extraordinary display of athleticism last night.
we have what you might call an… intimate relationship.
bet you didn’t know your boyfriend found a little pain exciting. he didn’t either.
you’re a very understanding person. and a fool.
i’m working very hard to respect my elders here, but don’t push your luck
you rock, __. you rock!
oh she’s toxic. a monster in bed, but toxic.
none of this would’ve happened if you’d exercised a smidgeon of self restraint or good judgement, which you didn’t.
__, you home?
you ever notice how cats seem to turn up around dinnertime?
i won’t be staying.
i’m a fabulous cook.
i steal things in order to sell them for money. it’s called commerce.
i left you a present.
am i supposed to be grateful?
well if you’re that nervous, you’re welcome to stay here.
send me the bill for this, by the way.
if i made you nervous, or uncomfortable, or creeped you out…
yes, on all accounts.
i haven’t been able to get you off my mind.
c'mere, i wanna show you something.
no, i meant this. probably the most singularly beautiful face i’ve ever seen.
do you always come on this strong?
and now i think i know pretty much everything.
i don’t know what kind of game you’re playing here, but i’m out, because you’re a whack-job.
not that i don’t love a good urban legend now and again, but what does any of this have to do with me?
we got separated right away. i never knew how many of them made it.
it took me a long time afterwards to figure everything out.
you said you could help.
what’s in it for you?
your friend has reason to worry.
i didn’t make it this far by looking for trouble.
are you high?
i’ve got people looking to either put me in a cage for the rest of my life, turn me into a science project, or kill me. probably all three.
what happened?
whoever tossed this place, they were just trying to make it look like a robbery.
but if i were you, i’d take the money, and get out of town while i can.
he’s dead.
lovely of you to join us.
…and you want me to believe in happenstance?
nurses beat me to it.
damn. are you alright?
can you help me get her back?
your basic renaissance dirtbag.
this isn’t my usual line of work, i’m making it up as i go.
it’s not what it looks like.
do you ever have to do something you really don’t want to do?
girl, you work that dress.
i’m on a break.
guess again.
the only thing better than four queens, is five.
give us a minute. now.
who are you?
gonna put me on your christmas card list?
you’re a player. i’m bringing you this on a plate. my fee is just the cost of doing business.
i have sincere eyes.
can you put that in a bag or something?
you better hope you’re as smart as you think you are.
you know that whole thing about the pliers… i never would’ve done it.
actually, i kinda uh… think you’re pretty cool.
you’re smart, you’re hot. you’ve got a wicked sense of humor.
yeah… you got a bad attitude.
see what you don’t know is that you’re already in the last two minutes in your life.
pathetic. c'mon, you’re not even trying.
it’s embarrassing to the professional community.
don’t touch my ass, man.
just give it to me, i’ll remember
i’m on my way.
i want a full perimeter seal. no one goes in til i say so.
okeydokey?
drop your weapons, now!
delivery!
keep your money, man. we can take care of our own.
i’ll make sure his family gets this.
i see you’re back at it. rockin’ the boat.
i would’ve come sooner. but i didn’t.
i’ve never been much for figuring out why bad things happen. they just do.
i need a favor.
you can keep this. i really don’t have any place to put it.
i need you to do a little legwork for me.
i got my own problems.
look, one thing i’m not is a chump.
he escaped custody after four hours.
and now he figures i’m gonna go and do the right thing because i owe him. like i even care.

AMC'S INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE SENTENCE STARTERS . a selection of quotes from the amc's adaptation of interview with the vampire. change pronouns/names accordingly as you see fit.
Do you know the secret to immortality?
I have loved you with all myself.
You irritate me. Your very presence irritates me.
A last dance before the feast.
(name), I would like you to meet the vampire Armand, the love of my life.
The vampire bond. There is no human equivalent. It's a bond that can never fully be severed.
Lover. Murderer. Maker. You took him back.
You took (name) back.
I was someone I don't want to be anymore. I've changed.
She's grown very protective of me. That's what this is. It's why it's hard.
She came back altered when she left us. There's a darkness in her that wasn't there before.
Write me a song, put your lover's voice on it. What the fuck is wrong with your head?
You don't need me. You think you do. But you don't. You're smarter now. You see trouble coming a mile away.
You're ugly when you act like that.
Better ugly than blind.
Once you put it out there, they decide what it is. It can get away from you.
You're not my (name). You can't be.
You kill like a, like a killer.
All vampires are born out of drama. We made her out of remorse. Out of selfishness.
Poor, dear. She wasn't held enough in between ritualistic murders.
Who am I supposed to love? You two have each other.
You are chronicling a suicide. Do not look down on Claudia. Look in the mirror.
He don't give good answers to questions. And he sits on the truth like it's his chair or something. I thought we weren't supposed to keep secrets.
Young, strong, and likely to fight back. You must be most ferocious.
Remember this. His face as it melts. This is why we never get close to mortals because sooner or later, they end up dead.
Do you ever think that we, that's to say, our kind, were put on Earth for a larger purpose?
I'm a vampire.
I heard your hearts dancing!
From time to time, I like a little variety. There, I said it.
A fish that doesn't swim. A bird refusing flight. You're going to struggle. I have faith in the feline population of New Orleans.
Hunting is an art. You have the power to subdue anyone you want, but sometimes restraint is your most powerful weapon.
There is one thing about being a vampire that I must fear above all else, and that is loneliness.
You can't imagine the emptiness. The void. Stretching out for decades at a time. You take this feeling away from me, (name). We must stay together.
Don't expect every reader to swallow that one.
I'm assuming you only met at night.
It's New Orleans. Days are for sleeping off the previous evening's damage.
I've seen death over and over and over and over again. It's boring.
That'll make a great blurb.
Don't do that shit here! Not with my family.
I was being hunted. And I was completely unaware it was happening.
Yeah, well, mortality beats a heavy drum.
So, (name), how long have you been dead?
The rage you must feel as you choke on your sorrow.
Fifty years later, you talk like he was your soul mate, like you were locked in some fucked up gothic romance.

@levampir asked: ❝ just because i don’t do things the way you do doesn’t mean i’m wrong. ❞
"I ain't judging you, mate. different blokes different stroke and all that, right?" not his style though. oddly enough, he feels the dramatics and everything about the man would fit right at home with angelus back in the old murderous days. but there is one thing he has up on his old grandsire that matches this man's energy. "i used to be a poet, you know? I understand the grand gestures from the heart. you want to get your fancy back, yes?" a short puff of the smoke out of his mouth, blue eyes looking back. "I know all about that."

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
5.15 | “I Was Made to Love You”
3K notes
·
View notes
"And I was born a bloody poet. Nobody's perfect." Pompous prick, he thinks again. And if the other is bothered by the smoke he was currently lighting up, Spike doesn't really care, as he brings it to his lips. The burning sensation is barely there, and he doesn't really need to breathe but he enjoys the theatrics of it all. "Why would I know them? They are food, mate. I was feeling particulary peckish today." And so, he did what his kind does. Murder. Flirt a little, drink their blood and play a little hide and seek. Blue eyes sharply look back at the vampire with annoyance. "I didn't came up with the nickname. I just took it. I fancied it."
William the Bloody. Spike. Whatever suits him well. Anything but his real name, which, he sometimes forgets he had back when he was human. Another puff of his smoke, the vampire moves across the display of dead bodies around on the floor and sits casually by a stool, leather coat falling to his sides. "I do not fancy you at all, not really my type, really." He teases and jokes, avoiding the question all together.
"It wasn't an hyperbole, though. I do not have a soul, literally. But I heard that if you lot get overwhelmed you just switch it off, like a switch." Another long smoke through his nose, he is amused really. He doesn't really enjoy the company of other vampires, not since Dru was no longer around to tame his beast. "You ever did that?"
Mercurial brat. Exclude the very few Tristan sired himself and most immortals his age would make for a splendid case towards muzzling until their three hundredth birthday. "I was born a feudal lord not some...frail prince. I assure you I knew plenty of scraps and my fair share of vicious fun even before the acquisition of my fangs. What I oppose is satiating those instincts with all the flair of a rampaging boar. There should be an...Artistry to vampires. Not all of us are animals." Tristan observes him with a shadow of malicious amusement.
"Did you know them as well, I wonder? Spike, dear chum? Because in my experience it is the overcompensating type that often cuddles to the sanguinary nicknames." Not precisely an universal rule. His Shen Min still occasionally refers to himself with the equally dramatic Red Sorrow epithet and existence has never seen him as anything less than a ruthless warrior but Tristan considers himself skillful enough at reading people as to confidently assume he is onto something. "Kind gardener? Meek and timid librarian, perhaps? School teacher with a radiant heart of gold? Am I close?" He sneers dismissively.
"Indeed. You are the most soulless cacophony of constant, raging emotion I have ever seen." He is willing to concede that there is...Something lost in the nature of his kind of vampirism. They take to the the hunt and other wickedness with the greatest of ease. An absence of conscience, perhaps? Still, to call it a lack of soul results perfectly melodramatic to his ears. If anything, Tristan doesn't perceive it awfully dissimilar to the abandonment of emotions his own kind sometimes indulge in when young. And he already considers recurring to that choice its own kind of mutilating idiocy. "Do you fancy me overemotional?"

@sl2yer asked: like i’m shocked to hear you say that.
dark angel ask meme .
"i'm souless not heartless. i was a bloody poet, you know, i know 'bout this stuff." matters of the heart. matters of what it feels to die a little inside everytime you see someone and die even more when they are not around. that feeling of survival once you learn how to live without them and then, realizing how much you missed them when you finally reunite.
"and despite what you might believe or what little old grandsire made you think, we are capable of love, 'ou know. it's just different." a short pause as he scoffs, almost amused that in the slayer's mind everything is so clear black and white. foolish. "why do you think most of us have a companion through most of our undead life?"

dark angel ask meme .
pompous prick. that's what spike thinks to himself as the other rambles on and on. old vampires, for real, they all think that lives has to be order and fancy suits and parties. and he has to be french, really. "we are vampires, mate. for someone who is as old as you are, one would think you would know how to have a good time."
the master reminds him of this man. but not even the master was as entitled as this man. spike rolls his eyes, the other has no real power over him. bloody angelus could not control him, the hell he is gonna let someone outside his fanged family twist him around. "i have no soul. what's your vampire's kind excuse? besides being all emotional all the bloody time."
