OC CENTRAL

A place for me to dump all my character shit. If you like the layouts, feel free to request one. I'm always looking for inspiration. None of the original images are mine. Header: The Lady of Shalot, John William Waterhouse

“If the Volturi won’t pause to listen to our witness, we cannot simply stand by,” Tanya insisted. “Of course, I should only speak for myself.”

Kate snorted. “Do you really doubt me so much, sister?”

Tanya smiled widely at her. “It is a suicide mission, after all.”

Kate flashed a grin back and then shrugged nonchalantly. “I’m in.” // Tanya, Breaking Dawn

You must think I am a monster, to have no pity in me. The truth is, people make their own choices, and they must stick by them, or else commit a sacrifice of self. Choose your weakness: pride or vanity. Or hold fast and true and keep all your promises. Sally had all the options in the world and she still behaved like a coward, a weakling. Burrowed in against a man and kept that bulwark of respectability against, heaven forbid, disapproval. How stupid. I am a lot of things - oh, I am a lot of things but I have never once been weak. Do I have any pity in me? The truth is, Anna: I don’t. // Mabel Martin, Mabel

Once upon a time we were strangers. We’d never even heard one another’s names. Now, we’re – something else. Strange, maybe, not strangers. Not now. // Anna Limon, Mabel

Here is our story. All our pasts, all our presents, rising up like a river to converge, to flood into one another, the deluge. Here is the antediluvian truth: I have always loved you. There is no world bereft of my love for you. What are we willing to sacrifice? I know I am not willing to sacrifice you. And you are not mine, anyway. You are your own; you belong to yourself. I love you as you are. // Mabel Martin, Mabel

“Are you like Doctor Doolittle?” The girl asked, smiling up at her.

“Kind of. If Doctor Doolittle decided to get into photojournalism on the side.” // Diana Vogel

Hope is like the sun. If you only believe in it when you can see it, you’ll never make it through the night. // Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo, Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is a stick up, plain and simple. Play nice and nobody has to get hurt. // Chance Sequoyah, The Penumbra Podcast

You pompous- For your information, I taught at Springfield Primary for five full years before I set foot on this train, and I plan to teach at Crossroads Primary, or whatever they call it, for ten times as long before I’m through. And the first thing I’ll teach those little boys are girls are some manners so they don’t end up as rude and spiteful as you. // Mary Anne Watkins, The Penumbra Podcast

Anything's possible if you've got enough nerve. // Ginny Weasley, Harry Potter

Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end. If not always in the way we expect. // Luna Lovegood, Harry Potter

"Tanis?” I thought you said "tennis." Yeah, this thing has five letters, it could be Tanis. Yeah, that actually makes sense. // Meerkatnip, Tanis

Some stories have layers, history, detailed recorded mass sightings, grainy videos, blurry photographs, and countless witnesses. Are these stories, with their multiple first-hand accounts, years, decades, and sometimes even centuries, of so-called evidence, more likely to be true? Sometimes we come across something different: a genuine mystery. Something that appears to have no recorded history, no website, and no public record at all. Something uniquely strange and mysterious. This is one of those stories. // Nic Silver, Tanis

Hi, Anna, right? It’s me. I mean. – it’s Mabel, you don’t – you don’t know me. You left a message on the underside of an oak leaf and I only just got it today, because sometimes the wind lags and it gets lazy, so if you’re having trouble just make sure you give it a good smack, otherwise it won’t be intimidated and it’ll just sit there, and you also have to be really careful to – // Mabel Martin, Mabel

The girl threw something onto the ground at the queen’s feet. It was a flower: a single red rose, summer-scented. The queen felt it beat in her palm. Once, twice. She stared up at the girl, and she lifted the rose to her mouth, and she ate it. Just like that. // Anna's Fairy Tale, Mabel

[adhlealavellan]

Isn't there enough wonder and beauty in the world without having to invent magical mythical creatures and spirits to enhance it? I understand humanity's need to assuage our fear of mortality. But if we spent half the money we spent on religion on science? We'd have a colony on Mars and we probably would have cured death and aging by now. // Richard Strand, The Black Tapes

Ghosts, poltergeists, spirits, and demons. Is death the end of the road, or simply a transition to another realm? // Alex Reagan, The Black Tapes
