❝ With you as my opponent, I won’t hold anything back. ❞

❝ Regrettable…but there was no other way. ❞ 

❝ You will not rile me with such childish tactics. ❞ 

❝ You really hope to unsettle me with childish jokes? ❞ 

❝ Prepare yourself for death while you still can. ❞ 

❝ As usual, you’re here at a most inopportune moment. ❞ 

❝ I will not die by your hand. ❞ 

❝ You don’t value human life at all. ❞ 

❝ If you stand in my way, I will cut you down until you have no blood left to bleed. ❞ 

❝ I wish you were someone whose heart could be swayed by my words and deeds. ❞ 

❝ Let’s see if your resolve is a match for my own. ❞ 

❝ I’m simply seeing through a promise I made to myself a long time ago. ❞ 

❝ If you don’t want to be destroyed completely, I suggest you turn tail and flee. ❞ 

❝ If you still wish to fight, I won’t stop you. I will simply use the full extent of my power…and crush you. ❞ 

❝ I knew when next we met one of our paths would have to come to an end. ❞ 

❝ All that matters is when death takes place, not how. ❞ 

❝ I have no intention of dying today. ❞ 

❝ You don’t have even a shred of self-awareness, do you? ❞ 

❝ Come at me, so that I may put you out of your misery! ❞ 

❝ Even if my arms and legs failed me, I would still find a way to move forward. ❞

𝐂𝐋𝚨𝐔𝐃𝚬

❝ Sorry, but it’s about time I make my exit… ❞

❝ Ah, what a burden to be great at everything. ❞

❝ If you were actually good for anything at all, I’d at least expect you to recognize who I am… ❞

❝ What exactly happened to make you this way? ❞

❝ Thanks to you, my own long-held ambitions are nearly destroyed. ❞

❝ You look…familiar. Have we met? ❞

❝ I’m glad to have your strength, if only for today. ❞

❝ What does it achieve, us killing each other here? ❞

❝ It doesn’t matter what I’m saying, does it? You aren’t even listening. ❞

❝ You’ve grown lovelier than ever. ❞

❝ So sad that our reunion should take place on the battlefield. ❞

❝ Well, I’m sure we have much more to talk about… But how about we settle things first? ❞

❝ Enough! You’ve bested me. ❞

❝ Right until the very end, I’ve read this whole thing terribly wrong… ❞

❝ I will return your kindness one day… I promise ❞

❝ I feel like we’ve known each other for a while, and yet, I’m still fascinated by you. ❞

❝ You’ve done well. Leave the rest to me. ❞

❝ We can’t blaze ahead if we let the status quo confide us. ❞

❝ Whenever I’m with you, I always feel like I have to mind my manners. It’s awful. ❞

❝ I’m happy to have this time with you. ❞

𝐃𝚰𝚳𝚰𝐓𝐑𝚰

❝ This never gets easier for me… ❞

❝ You will regret all that you have done. ❞

❝ I’m sorry, but did you really think you were going to get away with this? ❞

❝ I have no wish to kill you, but I’m afraid you have left me no choice. ❞

❝ I have never imagined such a day would come to pass. ❞

❝ I am very sorry, but that is not something to joke about. ❞

❝ You are trying to anger me, is that it? ❞

❝ You are a monster. The lowliest beast I have ever known. ❞

❝ Why… Why are you here? ❞

❝ You are nothing but a lowly beast scavenging for scraps. ❞

❝ I will crush anyone who blocks my path. ❞

❝ If they’re going to stand in our way, they must die. ❞

❝ You are rather calm for one in your position. ❞

❝ I would tell you to get out of my way, but I hightly doubt that you would abide. ❞

❝ I have no pity for one such as you. ❞

❝ I cannot shake this feeling of regret… ❞

❝ One must be prepared to fight anywhere, no matter the conditions. ❞

❝ There must be something I can do to save them. ❞

❝ Ah, this takes me back… I used to love this when I was a child. ❞

❝ That was not my intention, but I apologize if I hurt your feelings. ❞

『•• 🔶 ••』 @carminetorn​ whispered: "Don't pretend this whole endeavor isn't blameless," Diluc hissed, rebuttoning his shirt as he turned away from the other man, "We were meant to crash and burn, after all, nothing is meant to last."

Zhongli made no note to turn around and face the red-haired man that stood behind him. The other in the room had already thought to get off the bed they had been situated on, and it wasn't his place at the moment to stop him from leaving. That hadn't been a part of their agreement that night anyhow. His breathing slowly coming to steady, the archon moved to start buttoning up his own shirt; he didn't think it'd be proper of him if he left the place with his shirt open like that. Admittedly, he even laughed a little to himself, thinking of his old archon attire... As he thought, Diluc's words caught him by surprise as they fell from his lips. This was not the first time they had met up like this; something so simple that had started from words of an old friend left on currents of wind, that only time allowed to occur as often as it had. And here he was, saying that they were destined to end?

"It is true that most things will come to pass with the flow of time. I, of all people, know that better than most. But what makes you think that what we have could not possibly last longer than it has, A~Di?" There was a melancholic tinge to the words that Zhongli spoke. Perhaps there was a part of him that wanted the mondstatian to stay for longer; perhaps he was just reminiscing on the loves he had already lost. It was hard to tell, even for him.

『•• 🏺 ••』”anonymous” whispered: Dude, why does your dad have his titties out?

“...” 

The man’s neutral expression doesn’t change much between the mention of his father and that rather low-cut shirt of his. 

“I don’t know and I don’t care all that much. That man is barely my father in the first place.”

dollsmuse​:

But alas, at the door to Urd’s house, the vampire collapsed, and yet he did not let go of the girl cradled in his arms, not even when subordinates of Urd’s helped him rise to his feet. He could barely stand on his own, as he had been running for quite a long time.

There was a rather loud, urgent knock at the door to Urd's office. It was more of a surprise that they knocked this time around, but it did mean that whoever it was was learning their place at least somewhat. Stern words left the vampire's lips as the lesser vampire made their way into the room. Anxiety was written all over their face as they informed Urd of the matter: there was a man collapsed at their front door, and with him was a young girl.

Urd rose from his seat and pushed the other vampire out of his way. He thanked them for the information, told them to get back to more important work, and headed down the long hall to the front door of his residence. If was a human that had landed in front of his door, he was sure they would simply request something of him, no big deal. But if it was another vampire... now that would have been more of an ordeal. Vampires did not seek out the help of other vampires unless something was dire and desperately wrong. 

The faint clack of his shoes against the hard stone floor could be heard as Urd continued his way to the door, largely ignoring each of the servants that tried to get his attention; it was seldom they saw him so... determined to get somewhere. He pushed open the great front door with ease, a frosty chill blowing snow into the open hall. 

Before him stood a man, a slight bit shorter than himself, dressed in a simple coat with a scarf wrapped around his neck. In his arms was a fair-haired girl, dressed in a simple dress with her head covered. Their faces were flushed from travelling in the cold for far too long. For but a brief moment, Urd thought to himself that the mans face was rather pleasant to look at. 

The girl, on the other hand, did not seem to wake or stir, and she looked awfully familiar. If that was the case, then he had to do something about it. The vampire's lips parted, leaving a cloud of cold vapour behind him as he spoke.

"State your name and business, visitor. Only then will I be able to let you in and out of the cold." 

His gaze at the other man was serious, but deep down he did not want to have to leave him in the cold much longer; at the very least, he knew that if the man needed shelter, he was in a position to provide as such.

❛ You! You ruined my life! ❜

❛ Sweet Jesus, we got to save him. ❜

❛ That’s mighty kind of you but I don’t think nothing’s going to save me now. The devil’s come to collect his due. ❜

❛ You have eluded fate and you have eluded me for the last time. ❜

❛ The law is a human institution. ❜

❛ Perhaps you should start making your prayers. ❜

❛ Well, it never fails. Once again, you two hayseeds are showin’ how much you want for intellect. ❜

❛ There’s a perfectly scientific explanation for what just happened. ❜

❛ Don’t mind telling you I’m awful pleased my adventuring days have come to an end. ❜

i’m going to cut you up, nice and neat.

all you have to do is sit back and scream.

what is all this …

believe me, i’m not your ‘pal’.

my orders are to dispose anyone who wanders in here, poking his nose where it doesn’t belong.

you try not to take it personally when this ‘boy’ kicks your ass.

you’re a perceptive one.

that’s awfully considerate of you to show me your weak spot.

i like to give myself a little extra challenge during a fight now and then.

i thought it was suspiciously quiet in here.

it’s been too long since i’ve had prey that was worth hunting.  but you’re tired and wounded now … you won’t last much longer.

sorry, i’ve never heard of you.

even if you don’t know who i am, shouldn’t you at least be a little scared?

how can you ask something like that?

you were never alive to begin with.

i kill, therefor i am.

there’s no such thing as ‘dirty’ in a fight.

i’m going to die … i’m going to die!

how could you, you little brat!

as much as i hate to admit it, we’ve lost.

i will not take the life of another person.

you should know better than to talk about things that don’t concern you.

you could’ve messed up the entire plan!

always remember i allowed you to live.

there’s something i’ve been wanting to tell you, but i guess i’ve been too afraid to say it …

just accept it.  you’ll feel better.

i know what this means.  time to get out of here!

his life’s not in danger, but he has lost a lot of blood.

looks like you can sit up now, huh?

you mean they wiped out everything?!

finding icons of this man is hell. anyways, tag dump time + meanings/translations under the cut! (decided to have fun and so none of the tag lines are in english. oops)

“amor fati” - translates to “love is fate”. a proposed alternate worldview to contrast “memento mori”;  Nietzsche believed it to be more affirmative of live  “dies tenebrosa sicut nox“ - translates to “ a day as dark as night “.  “qui salvándos salvas gratis“ - translates to “ Who dost free salvation send us “. taken from the song city of the dead by eurielle which was, in turn, taken from the hymn “dies irae” “memento mori” - “remember that you will die”  “obscurum per obscurius“ - an explanation is less clear than what it tries to explain “ab antiquo“ - from ancient times  “dramatis personae“ - more literally translates to “the masks of the drama”, it refers to the cast of a dramatic work “mortui vivos docent“ - the dead teach the living. often used to justify the dissection of human cadavers to understand the cause of death. “ad astra“ - to the stars “fortiter in re, suaviter in modo“ - resolute in execution, gentle in manner “ira furor brevis est“ - wrath is but a brief madness “fiat iustitia et pereat mundus“ -  let justice be done, though the world shall perish “flagellum dei“ - the scourge of God “per aspera ad astra” - through hardships to the stars  “domine salvum fac regem” - O Lord, save the king  “nemo malus felix“ -  peace visits not the guilty mind aka. “no rest for the wicked” “aqua vitae“ - directly translates to “the water of life”, it is also used to refer to certain distilled beverages  “hoc est bellum“ - this is war  “dis manibus sacrum“ - “ Sacred to the ghost-gods “, it refers to the Manes (roman spirits of the dead). It has been inscribed on Pagan headstones.

“Два сердца это перебор“ - not latin but russian due to Urd’s ruling over russia; from the song “ Сердце получает нож “ by Pholo, it translates (roughly) to “two hearts is too much”. (The full line is also translated in the remix of the song by Ferry as “My darling, don’t you think us having two hearts is too intense?”)
