La Belle Laidur - Beautiful Ugliness

Full-time artisan craftsman, amateur mythologist, spinner of tales, purveyor of exotic erotics, and Mother of Pugs. Been in love with this Fairytale for my entire life! This is going to be my part-time obsession/sideblog/ Beauty and the Beast moodboard and fan-dump as I dive into that realm creatively. Hoping to post fan fiction and fan art eventually.

She is simply who she is. She is herself, and there’s nothing she can do about it.

i can listen no longer in silence. i must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. you pierce my soul. i am half agony, half hope. tell me not that i am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. i offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. i have loved none but you. persuasion by jane austen.
