[ID: 10 images of text for a litstack

1: I was hurt. / It is never too late to learn to love. / But it is frightening.

2: It is here that children are given instructions on what it means to e human. We make men at it, we make women.

3: I don't really know what to say to you / I never really know what to say to you / but I will always be / nearby if need be

4: imaging singing 'i am drowning, there is no sign of land, you are coming down with me, hand in unlovable hand' with hundreds of other people and your voices blending together into one sea. for a crowd to take those horrifically tragic lyrics and make it something communal, something connective.

5: not so much "came back wrong" as "came back exactly the same and you only saw the monstrous in me anyway"

6: If I am ever caught in the wrong place / at the wrong time, just being alive / and not bothering anyone, / I hope I am greeted / with the same kind / of mercy.

7: [...] never had any hope of unpacking and i think for a while she was just. vicious. like unconsciously trying to scare him away until she finally finally realized like. he cares and there's nothing i can do about that

8: [...] memory will fulfill itself, and become flesh, and that the wanderers will find a way home, and the perished, whose lack we always feel, will step through the door finally and stroke our hair with dreaming, habitual fondness, not having meant to keep us waiting long.

9: Are you lonely? / Can you hear me? / I'm talking out loud / Trying to understand just how it is you feel / But I don't want to say too much / But I don't want to say too much / I just want to be here

10: So maybe this time, love doesn't kick down the door-- / doesn't rattle the windows or plant weeds in the flower garden. / Maybe you can't smell the smoke because, / for once, / nothing is burning.

happy sleepover saturday!! bitch!! if you could remake one character from lost who would it be and what would you do to them?

great question!!! bitch!!!

so. i would absolutely remake kelsey. right now theyre an inquisitive rogue like,, tbh mostly because i thought yall might try to kill waylon right away and i wanted a rogue to balance scruggs being a barbarian lmao. once i fleshed out their backstory a little they became a rogue for sneaky reasons relating to [redacted] and also from lizzie teaching them to use a dagger. but they're pretty low level. they are simply baby still

however if i remade them (and depending on story stuff that happens ... they might get reclassed anyway) i would make them a witch!!! now that i understand their Vibe more i think jinx witch would make so much sense for them. both because of their whole gothic lolita kind of deal but also,, their dad is a zombie lol. also i think them having a doberman familiar would be vibes. and frankly they seem like they should have magic. i think they would cause mischief with it (mainly at lizzie's expense). plus now that ive introduced the disability/chronic fatigue stuff i think that makes sense with witches being a con based caster class. so yeah ... potentially witch!kelsey in losts future ...
