↪    𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑺𝑷𝑰𝑫𝑬𝑹𝑾𝑰𝑪𝑲 𝑪𝑯𝑹𝑶𝑵𝑰𝑪𝑳𝑬𝑺  .    (  a  series  of  sentence  starters  from  the  2008  film  “ spiderwick ” .  adjust  phrasing  as  necessary .  )

there it is  ...  pretty much how i remember it .

just an observation ,  not a judgement .

what are you expecting your silent protest will get you ?

at least acknowledge this isn’t the way to deal with your anger .

i’m not gonna let you keep acting like a jerk .

you think you know everything .

you’re such a liar !

you’re still coming tomorrow ,  right ?

we don’t need any more holes in the wall .

i don’t know how you did it ,   i just know you did it .  ‘cause you ALWAYS do it .

[ name ] ,  don’t you wanna know where this thing goes ?

wow ,  that’s really  ...  impossible .

it’s late ,  just go to sleep .

wait ,  what did i say ?

i did my best ,  but YOU .  you kept looking and looking .

are you with them ,  or with me ?  whose side are you on ?

[ name ] ?   oh my god ,   oh my god -

i beg your forgiveness .

what do you want with me ?

it’s not what i want with you ,  it’s what i want from you .

i’m placing my trust in you .

if you fail ,  i’m afraid i’ll have to find someone else .

get inside the protective circle !

for the last time ,  there’s no such thing as  [ xyz ] .

now do you believe me ?!

how many of those things are out there ?!

sit tight ,  i’ll be right back .

i’ll be right back ,  keep pressure on that .

what do they want from us ?

oh god .  they’re coming from everywhere .

you don’t think ,  you just DO .

you do stuff ,  and we pay for it .

you ruin everything !

there is so much about this that’s not okay ,  i don’t even know where to start .

you die ,  i die ,  we all die .

they’re not leaving .  they’re never leaving !

we stay here long enough ,  we’re gonna end up like  [ name ] .

if you’re so smart ,  what do you suggest we do with it ?

we’re safe as long as we stay in the house .

okay ,  i think i have this figured out .

you have to get out of there .

it isn’t safe ,  you don’t understand .

one night ,  i dreamt that i saw him in the woods .

that’s what this is all about ?

i told you you wouldn’t believe me .

do you really think i am SO stupid that i don’t see what this is about ?

that isn’t gonna happen .

don’t you think you should just tell him ?

there’s your ride ,  off you go !

destroy it ?  are you mad ?

they won’t let you leave .

not until you tell me what you need to tell me .

you said you had something you needed to say to me .  so ,  what is it ?

look me in the eyes .  and tell me .

i  ...  i just wanted to tell you that i love you .

wrong answer .

[ name ] ,  it’s not your fault .  it’s mine .

i was trying to protect you ,  but i guess i should’ve just told you the truth .

is it okay if i stay here ?  with you ?

who else is gonna protect us ?

i see now .  &  i may never be able to forgive myself .

you came back as you promised .  so i forgive you .

this time ,  take me with you .

Hi! I just have to know… what are your thoughts on Makarov/Price, or just Price with a very intense and feisty partner 👀

Oh my god friend I loved this question but Istg every time I went to answer it I ended up with a response in the form of a book so I’m doing my best to stick to bullet points

Anyways I present to you Price with a very intense / feisty reader

First and foremost I want to note that Price isn’t docile himself, he feels rather strongly and sometimes acts impulsively but he’s learned to handle it throughout the years.

However when he first enlisted , fresh faced and ready to conquer the injustices of the world, higher ups saw these attributes as something to take advantage of so that they did.

Back then he didn’t see that, he was just happy that there were people in power willing to listen and willing to help him and while he got his hands dirty and went against everything he stood for, the higher ups stayed back home while offering simple promotions for his dirty work.

Since Price rose so fast in ranking, he probably attended many private parties and banquets organized by the army, and at one of those events he was bound to meet his future s/o

Back then he’d met you because he’d snuck out the event, had felt suffocated by the crowd and went outside to smoke.

There you were leaned up against the wall and offering him your cigarette

He swiftly takes it, while discreetly giving you a once over, noting you must be a soldier but not one attending this specific event for whatever reasons.

“Party that boring eh?” You say, noting the suit on him and the gloomy look on his face,

“You can say that” he says before taking a drag of the cigarette. “I’m not much of a party person actually” he says, taking another drag before passing the cigarette back to you.

“Yet you attended this one “‘you say with a smile on your face while exhaling a cloud of smoke into the air.

“Didn’t have a choice” Price shrugs watching tobacco smoke swirl around in the dark sky.

“Says who?” You say, passing the cigarette back to him.

“The party’s for me” Price says, lip curling in disdain.

You feel your eyes widen at his words, attention now fully on him rather than the tobacco.

“Oh now you’ve got me curios”

“Just a promotion, nothing special” he says, lips now curling into a small smile

“Nothing special eh what is it? Captain?”

“Lieutenant”

“You’re right, doesn’t sound special at all” you snort and he laughs along with you

Just as you’re about to say something else you see someone waving him over.

“Looks like someone’s calling for you -“

“Price”

“I’ll see you around Lieutenant price “ you say with a smile on your face, snuffing out your cigarette before walking away.

The next time he sees you, is when you’re being reprimanded for your behavior and he’s in charge of your punishment. It had been a minor offense but had resulted in you having to run laps in the rain. However when you had arrived in front of him he had quickly released you off of it.

“A merciful lieutenant who’d think that?” You say with a smile on your face.

“Don’t see a point of you just running around in the rain, join me instead?” He says with a smile on his own while waving a cigarette in the air.

As you sit down and smoke, he finds out that many times you’ve ended up being reprimanded for your behavior but that they haven’t kicked you out yet since you’re a very good soldier.

However he cant seem to comprehend why you keep getting yourself in trouble and you don’t give him a clear answer to that question either.

“Just remember while our hands get dirty someone else’s stay clean, I’ll see you around lieutenant Price”

After that you continue to bump into each other and every time you do, it’s because you’re in some trouble and Price is the one to get you out of the punishment. He’s still torn between being loyal to the higher ups and accepting the fact that they’re using him as a pawn in their own little games .

However he ends up making a decision when you get in trouble despite having done nothing wrong. You’re sent to your room and ordered to attend a disciplinary meeting. Price tries to reason with the higher ups, but they aren’t listening and in that very moment he realizes that these people don’t care about doing the right thing. They care about having power and controlling their subordinates

Feeling frustrated about the situation, and also feeling deeply worried for you, he decides to go and see you.

For someone who risks losing their entire career you look calm as ever, opening the door with a soft smile on your face.

“Lieutenant” you say while gesturing for him to come in

“Price” he subconsciously correct while walking inside.

“So what brings you here? Not that I’m opposed to it or anything.”

“Just wanted to see if you’re alright after everything that happened today”

“Oh that?”You wave him off before patting down the pockets of your coat that hangs on the wall, and pull out a pack of cigarettes.

You quickly light one up and pass it to him, before gesturing for him to sit down on your bed with you.

“You’re not worried that you’ll get kicked out?” He says, taking a drag of the cigarette before passing it to you.

You chuckle in response, putting the cigarette between your lips before you go to respond “not really, maybe I’d be if I still were a recruit but now? Not so much?”

“Why?” He says watching you exhale the smoke into the air before his eyes fall onto your lips, the way they pucker up to release the smoke, before falling back into a natural pout.

“I don’t know if you’ve realized it yet but they don’t give a shit about us here”

“I’m starting to” he says, eyes still locked on your lips, noting the way they’re curling up into a grin.

“Good” is all you say, “now if that’s all you wanted to say I suppose we’re done here unless..” you trail off, voice going lower as you lean closer to him.

For a second his eyes widen, body freezing in place. You continue to lean in closer until there’s only a cloud of smoke between you, serving as a barrier.

“Im- I -“ he tries to speak but his brain isn’t cooperating with his mouth. Instead he focuses on the way you lick your lips before you speak.

“If you don’t want this tell me to stop and I’ll-“ but before you can say more he grabs ahold of your neck and smashes your lips together, leaving you wide eyed and gasping before your eyes flutter shut and you lose yourself into the kiss

“You sure you don’t want me to come with you” he says looking like a whole sight with the sheets draped over his waist while lounging on your bed.

“No I’ll be fine” you say while shrugging on your shirt. “You stay here, I’ll be back soon” you add, eyes trailing over his naked body and feeling blood pool down to your lower half.

“Okay “ he says biting down on his lips before sinking back into the sheets .

You return quickly just like you had promised, and Price keeps his own promises by staying in your bed.

He stays there all day and for many more years to come. However the two of you don’t become anything official until much later on seeing as he’s focusing more on his career than having a relationship.

But in between those years of waiting you become a close companion of his as well as someone who knows his body better than anybody else in this world. You taught him to not let people take advantage of him and to do what he thinks and feels is right. He’s still loyal to some degree to those above him solely for the reason that they sometimes can come in hand. However Price wouldn’t let anyone dull your spark. He’d always aim to make sure that you get to stay true to yourself even if that means getting into a fight with his squad because you’re getting on the teams nerves with your temper, or making it clear that you are to be as respected as he is even though you don’t have some fancy title to go with your name

You work seamlessly together so much so people will come up to him and tell him “keep your dog on a leash” referring to the way you’re hovering behind Price and barring your teeth. But Price’s lips would only curl up into a smile before he responds with “it’s not him you have to worry about” because even though he’s learned to bite his tongue in order to keep important pawns on his chess board, he’d bite anyone’s neck off if they were to disrespect you.

Babes wake up, new father-daughter/mentor-apprentice relationship just dropped

A man who looks like he’s got it all together but is actually deeply unhinged, definitely depressed, and probably suicidal if you squint

The feral cat of a girl he’s trying very hard to pspsps out of her shell and convince that the world is not actually evil

CHANGING STATES

Lately, something has taken hold / of me—not hunger, not shame. It is like a flower / blooming in the injury. —Richie Hofmann

On the evening Jeremiah decides he’ll drive thirty hours to Maryland, the other half of his mattress is cold and Madonna’s on the radio. In his bedroom, he taps his cigarette on the windowsill, the ash scattering into rainy blue hour, and listens. Time goes by so slowly, she goes, her voice singed through his boombox’s broken speakers. He’s meant to replace it, though he’s meant to do a lot of things: check the mail, make a quiche, buy lightbulbs, call his sister, take up cross-stitch, recycle an olive jar, move his bed to the opposite side of his room. But time goes by so slowly, and Jeremiah would know—he’s twenty-one, yet feels he’s been alive for much, much longer.
