@promiseofdawn​ whispered:  ❛    i can bear my pain so long as it has meaning.  ❜-Matias. He repeats the phrase again under his breath, like some sort of survival mantra

MEME

{ ♪ } -- Having heard his comment, she frowned and placed her hand on his shoulder. Red eyes focused on his face and searched it for some sort of sign of what was wrong.

     “Matias? Are you okay, hon?”

“ I don't like your kingdom keys they

once belonged to me.

You asked for a place to sleep

Locked me out and threw a feast

The world moves on, another day, another drama, drama

But not for me, not for me, all I think about is karma

And then the world moves on, but one thing's for sure

Maybe I got mine, but you'll all get yours

But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time

Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time

I've got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined.”

This represents a rite of passage through many Dubois: villified by other people for their own game, painted as the villain and demonised even. This happened to especially the women like Blanche, Jude, Elodie and Yvonne, sometimes by their own family members. It also represents rebirth and growing up fast.

“No one seems to understand the kids these days

And why we live this way

We've got to clean up the mess you've made

Still you don't wanna change

You create the law

But can't control our thoughts

And no we won't be bought

We don't just protest for the fun

We're here to get it done

The kids are coming

The kids are gunning

The kids are running

The kids are coming

The kids are coming

The kids are gunning

The kids are running

The kids are coming for you.”

If the Dubois are something, is rebellious and ahead of their time. Often disliked for it, more especially the women than the men, the older generations are often against them, but they are also headstrong and unlikely to budge. Most of them rebelled against society’s rules: single mothers, pursue a career of their own, treating your wife as your equal than something less, etc. 

— 𝘈𝘐𝘕𝘚𝘐 𝘉𝘈𝘚 𝘓𝘈 𝘝𝘐𝘋𝘈  

You're making your life difficult

You're over-thinking it

There's something off about that guy

And he's broke

Come on, don't be silly

I beg of you, stop

I'm sure that he doesn't reflect

What he really is

That's how life lows

Another characteristic of them is their dramatic love lives. Most of their romances are not reciprocated, arranged or ending badly. 

I was 19, in a white dress 

When you told me I’m your princess 

So I played right into your fantasy 

Was your good girl, so I’d sit tight 

And if I don’t speak, then we can’t fight 

Looked into the mirror, now I can’t believe... 

I forgot I was a bad bitch 

Tragic 

Breaking all the rules cause they were only habits 

Cinderella’s dead now 

Casket 

You thought the shoe fight but I... 

I forgot I was a bad bitch! 

This song especially to the women who had abusive marriages or relationships in their lives, always starting off as young, innocent women who remember who they are, dump their ass and become what a Dubois woman ought to be: strong, independant and badass, and ofc a bad bitch!

I don't want to be afraid

The deeper that I go

It takes my breath away

Soft hearts, electric souls

Heart to heart and eyes to eyes

Is this taboo?

Of course I had to begin with this gem!! This screams peak Somerset, wanting to fulfill their duty and wanting to be happy and themselves outside the family without giving up the latter 

Baby, we built this house on memories

Take my picture now, shake it 'til you see it

And when your fantasies become your legacy

Promise me a place in your house of memories

𝘒𝘐𝘕𝘎𝘚 𝘈𝘕𝘋 𝘘𝘜𝘌𝘌𝘕𝘚  

But if I had one, it'd be bigger than yourseIf 

No damsel in distress, don't need to save me

Once I start breathin' fire, you can't tame me

And you might think I'm weak without a sword

Baby, you're not dancin' on your own

If all of the kings had their queens on the throne

We would pop champagne and raise a toast

To all of the queens who are fighting alone

Disobey me, then baby, it's off with your head

Gonna change it and make it a world you won't forget, oh-oh, oh

No damsel in distress, don't need to save me

This song represents the might and power of the Winbourne ladies and their daughters and how they are also key in perservering the estate-- without them, there would be no heirs at all! They are as important and their husbands ought to remember that 

Once I start breathin' fire, you can't tame me

And you might think I'm weak without a sword

But I'm stronger than I ever was before

𝘚𝘛𝘈𝘕𝘋 𝘜𝘗  

Early in the mornin'

Before the sun begins to shine

We're gonna start movin'

Towards that separating line

I'm wadin' through muddy waters

You know I got a made up mind

And I don't mind if I lose any blood on the way to salvation

And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die

This song is dedicated to the women of Winbourne and how they want to be themselves in a society that has them on an oppresive chokehold and where they want to be considered human beings and no less. 

So I'm gonna stand up

Take my people with me

Together we are going

To a brand new home

Far across the river

Can you hear freedom calling?

Calling me to answer

Gonna keep on keepin' on

𝘓𝘌𝘎𝘌𝘕𝘋𝘚 𝘕𝘌𝘝𝘌𝘙 𝘋𝘐𝘌  

Legends never die

When the world is calling you (the world is calling you)

Can you hear them screaming out your name?

Legends never die

They become a part of you (they become a part of you)

Every time you bleed for reaching greatness

Legends never die

They're written down in eternity

But you'll never see the price it costs

Scars collected all their lives

When everything's lost, they pick up their hearts

And avenge defeat

This song is peak Somerset! Many of their notable memebers are heroic, iconic and important, and many had made it to the history books of both worlds. 

Before it all starts, they suffer through harm

Just to touch a dream

Inside a Submissives Soul...

Dear Diary -

I have a need, a want, a desire.

I have a deep longing, a silent yearning.

I have a painful itch that needs to be scratched.

I have a sense, a requirement, an internal yet physical, emotional and spiritual time bomb waiting to go off.

I have a dream of lustful, pleasurable pain and exquisite delights.

I feel suppressed, by life and by myself. It's been knawing away at me for so long, years. I've spent time waiting, seeking and downright ignoring the craving to explore myself on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. I've spent too much time doing this, I need to break free and find what I have been seeking all this time, but how? Where do I start? Where do I turn? Most of all, how do I do it all safely? I appreciate there will always be some element of risk to this but that's to be expected and I can only trust my gut so much, the rest will come as proof in the pudding.

For now I will continue to dream, dream of the possibility to explore a world I feel so drawn to. There is almost a sense of belonging, something calling me, a voice, not demonic harmful and hatred fueled, a voice calling me to home, to embrace who and what I am.

I fantasise how exhilarating it must feel to have such a physical and emotional bond, such a connection like no other.The sheer level of knowing another and even yourself in a way that brings all that you are and all that you can be to a whole new meaning.

To allow another to have you, embrace you and help you grow. To nuture the true being of yourself and the raw instinct within.

Why to I deny myself from such freedom?

Fear? Fear of being judged, dear of being rejected, fear of being misunderstood, fear of losing one's innocence, fear of being so trusted, fear of being so vulnerable, fear of having love so soul binding, fear of allowing myself to sink or swim, fall or fly, fear of giving myself unconditionally to another, fear of fantasy becoming reality and changing everything forever, for better or for worse.

So much fear but it's time to face this fear once and for all.

I am forever in awe and continously fascinated by the way individuals explore themselves in world so misunderstood and judged.

Why do I believe there is freedom in BDSM?

I am consistently mindful of myself and always reminded in some way that I have this inner self and she is strong, powerful, silently waiting, raging within to be heard, to be fed and to be released.

When she starts breathing fire she just might be tamed. If you look past the scorching inferno, through the smoke, there are glowing embers that look like stars on a pitch black sky. The defensive exterior holds a key to unlock a universe behind this everlocked prison like door, a life changing course set out to be followed and branch into endless exploration of one's self.

I educate, research and seek out those with experience to guide me on a path I have only dreamt about.

I want insight into this bewildering and enticing self sustaining world.

Attempting to explain this feels somewhat impossible, finding the right context and meaning in what I write, I am merely scraping the surface.

I can't go on ignoring myself from this any longer, I can't live my life wondering, what if.

I don't want to feel suppressed, I will not suppress this from now on, I want to know, I want peace and most of all, I want to feel.

I want to be free, free from despair, free from anger, free from life, free from me.

Am I seeking a world that doesn't exist?

Is this all just an unrealistic fantasy, distorting my own reality?

Dare I brave the uncertainty of whether I could become captured within a nightmare?

One slip and I could regret this game changer.

One can only but hope, that the very best of dreams can come true...

{ ♪ } -- She saw blood and she panicked. Practically rushing the Tiefling, she took his face in her hands and desperately searched for the source of the blood on him. Her chest tightened, throat closing up as she searched. It wasn’t until he took her by the wrists and spoke that she stopped. Terrified eyes focused on his face again, listening to what he said. A few more moments passed before she blinked at him, taking a slow breath to ease the fear clawing at her throat. 

     “You’re...? You’re fine? Are you sure? That’s a lot of blood...!”

@promiseofdawn || ♥

{ ♪ } -- Seeing Matias approach, she smiled initially. Until she remembered her father was running the shop that day. He had the habit of trying to set her up on dates because he was worried about the fact that she wasn’t interested in anyone at the time. Quickly, she grabbed the Paladin’s arm and swung him away from the shop entrance.

     “Hi! Um. Hi.”

♣ Merchant Bella is thinner than most verses, due to the fact that she doesn’t have as much access to all the different foods she’d normally eat. Most things are the same, though! She exercises often, plays her music, enjoys animals, etc!

More exercise and less calories just means a slightly less chubby girl

{ ♪ } -- She hummed to herself, chewing on her lip. It warmed her heart to see how devoted he was to staying by her side. He was like her little brother, after all. But that fact alone made her all the more hesitant to let him come along.

"Eiji, it's not always gonna be easy to get through things... Especially if you come with me. I'm going out into the wilderness, and who knows what sort of things we'll come across. Of course, I'd never force you to do anything... Even stay behind, and even if I think you should. In truth, it's comforting that you want to go with me. I was a little scared about going on my own!"
