sharks in the time of saviors   by   kawai strong washburn

no flinching.

he’s not gonna save you.

if you’re tired of everyone picking on you, maybe don’t be such a smart-ass all the time.

you wouldn’t understand if i told you.

it’s my head. i have all these things inside, they won’t stop.

you don’t know what you’re doing.

i don’t know why i did it.

why won’t you let me say i’m sorry?

ain’t nothing bigger than our family.

i’m a perfect gentleman once you get to know me.

you can’t help me.

did you feel anything in there?

i have to start fixing things. i have to fix everything.

first time?

you tell me how my ass looks in these jeans!

we did a lot to get you there, you know.

i’m sorry, i didn’t have a plan. i just wanted to see you, is all.

don’t insult me. we can’t just keep on like this.

don’t pretend you know what this feels like.

it doesn’t matter what i need.

do that one more time and i’m gone.

you believe in destiny?

what’s in you is a gift.

it’s like you haven’t been listening. i don’t want to do it anymore.

i know you. i was you.

look who finally made it back to their home.

how many years has it been now?

you don’t talk to me anymore.

you gotta call your mom and dad.

let me do it my way.

we can catch the bus, we can hitchhike. we can walk, even. but not this.

go if you want. i know the way back.

you think you could’ve done anything?

let’s go back inside. i’ll get you a glass of water.

you’re judging me. don’t judge me.

you’ll have to be a mother before you can understand the craziness of it.

there’s nothing wrong with missing him.

go ahead and think what you think. i should know better than to try and talk you out of it.

listen to yourself. you’re acting like you’re giving up.

We gotta do what we need to keep living.

it’s always fucking raining.

i didn’t know you smoked.

i’m always losing better versions of myself.

god, i’m tired of crying. you want a beer?

no more saviors, okay? this is just life.

you’re not coming home, are you?

we’re not okay enough. not yet.

slow down. you’re doing that thing again, where you talk crazy.

“What are you waiting for?”

Curse of Chucky (2013)

[deathbashed]

thinking about how kathy’s murder spree is very much motivated by selfishness, and she and robert both acknowledge this fact. she only targeted him because of nicole, her own view of love so twisted ( because of her unrequited feelings for wade; he only loved the false image of kathy, never her real self ) from her past that she decided robert would be perfect for her game just because his girlfriend brought him with her, just because there was someone in nicole’s life she could use to hurt her. robert didn’t know her as kathy or as kay, he hadn’t bullied her. but at that point she didn’t care.

kathy could have chosen to live her life and move on, but she wanted to kill people. hungered for it, even. she wanted them to suffer in a way that was extremely disproportionate to whatever they did to her, and then tried to justify it using the ‘golden rule’: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. but no one ever tried to kill her, did they, kathy?

she doesn’t want to apologize. she doesn’t think she did anything deserving of an apology in the first place. and robert does not feel sorry for her.

[deathbashed]

are you an angel or a demon, robert hollister ?

robert hollister is a ruler of hell, powerful and wicked, deceitful, clever, and master of legions of demons.

[deathbashed]

robert hates being called bob / bobby. for most people, he expects to be called robert. in a business setting, it's strictly mr. hollister. ( "i'm not your buddy, i'm your lawyer." ) if he likes you enough you may call him robbie, but that's usually reserved for his closer friends. if he really likes you, you may give him a different nickname; he might grumble about it, but he secretly likes the affection and closeness that that implies.

PSA REGARDING NOTES TO YOUR POSTS

TUMBLR HAS NOW MADE IT WHERE IF YOU MAKE A POST, YOU CAN NO LONGER SEE NOTIFICATIONS IF SOMEONE REBLOGS IT. THIS IS ESSENTIAL WITHIN THE RPC WHEN IT COMES TO THREADS.

"We’re no longer creating activity items in your activity feed when you like, reblog, or reply to your own posts."

Right now, what you can do to avoid missing things is to start tagging your partners in threads when you reply.

❛ i always get paid in the end, one way or another. ❜

❛ maybe you just need someone to tell you what to do. ❜

❛ i don’t think you fully understand the situation you’re in. ❜

❛ rule one: don’t get caught. ❜

❛ i do what people pay me to do. ❜

❛ consider this a professional courtesy. ❜

❛ i want us to be friends. i want us to trust each other. ❜

❛ you thought you could just fuck with us, and we wouldn’t fuck with you? ❜

❛ can we just exchange three words without you pulling a gun on me? ❜

❛ the detective’s life isn’t an easy one. but it rarely lacks for excitement. ❜

❛ i don’t have time for distractions right now. ❜

❛ tell me, what was life like on the other side? ❜

❛ so, to what do i owe this pleasure? ❜

❛ how many fights have you been in this week? ❜

❛ you want a silencer pistol? sure, if one’s on sale. ❜

❛ go ahead. you might as well finish the job. ❜

❛ can i at least buy you a drink? ❜

❛ you’re gonna get yourself killed if you keep this up. you know that, right? ❜

❛ we’re not all savages here, sweetheart. ❜

❛ the only thing that’s gonna keep you safe in this world is that gun. ❜

❛ i’ll teach you something about punishment. ❜

❛ do we have your allegiance or not? ❜

❛ why is it whenever we see each other, you’re covered in blood? ❜

❛ you wanted the truth. i’ve given it to you. it’s up to you what you do with it. ❜

❛ you’re playing nurse to a killer, you know. ❜

❛ this your idea of laying low? ❜

❛ looks like you could use a bodyguard. ❜

❛ you look great. like a million bucks of real money. ❜

❛ working together again, it’s just like old times. ❜

❛ drink all you want, but we need to stay focused. ❜

❛ you’re like a cockroach i can’t kill. i mean it in a good way. ❜

❛ you eat, or you get eaten. animals call it survival. humans call it business. ❜

❛ i could teach you how to fight, but i wasn’t equipped to take care of you. ❜

❛ i wanted to hurt them for the way they hurt you. ❜

❛ no one’s worth a bullet between the eyes. ❜

❛ may i have my gun back? ❜

❛ who taught you how to do that? ❜

❛ i’m gonna make you an offer. one time only. ❜

❛ i had it under control. you didn’t need to do that. ❜

❛ you still have to keep up appearances. ❜

❛ the bodies he buried laid the foundation of what we are now. ❜

❛ imagine how quickly you can succeed if you just take what you want. ❜

❛ that wasn’t a punch. if i’d punched you, you’d be on the floor. ❜

❛ the choice to live an ordinary life is no longer an option for me. ❜

❛ i need you to focus on this case. not on me. can you do that? ❜

❛ you’re still an honest person. it’s the rest of the world that’s gone crooked. ❜

❛ all you need to do is exactly what i tell you to do. ❜

❛ i’ve done things i’m not proud of. i’ve hurt people and i’m going to hurt more. ❜

❛ blood money buys the best art. ❜

❛ everyone who ever helped me is dead. i don’t want that to happen to you. ❜

❛ i don’t kill people. not even scumbags like you who deserve it. ❜

❛ you treat all your ladies like this? ❜

❛ you’re not very good at retiring. ❜

❛ remember who the real enemy is. ❜

❛ you’re one of us now. nobody ever tell you that? ❜

❛ i’m the lucky one who pulled you out of the garbage. ❜

❛ if it were up to me, you would’ve been dead a long time ago. ❜

❛ everyone in that room has lived far worse than anything you’ve ever done. ❜

❛ if you’re doing it to help someone, doesn’t that make it okay? ❜

❛ you don’t get to be at the top without making enemies looking to tear you down. ❜

❛ i understand the importance of anonymity in our line of work, but it gets lonely.❜

❛ so, any of these hacked beasties your handiwork? ❜

❛ give me what’s mine, i’ll leave now. ❜

❛ so many death dealers in one room. ❜

❛ a monster unlike anything you’ve faced will be released into these sacred grounds. ❜

❛ good luck. i’ll be rotting for you. oh, forgive me. graveyard humor. ❜

❛ those who do not survive will be honored appropriately. ❜

❛ for tonight, it is every hunter for themselves. ❜

❛ we spill all blood for the hunt. ❜

❛ there is no peace without blood, and so it shall be. ❜

❛ i suggest we just pass each other by. ❜

❛ death is coming for you, lassie! ❜

❛ well, of course i was gonna come find you. ❜

❛ you keep saying that you’re gonna be careful each time, and here we go again. ❜

❛ you can’t keep counting on me to save you. this is the last time. ❜

❛ all you have to do is don’t die. ❜

❛ how’s your night going? ❜

❛ you didn’t want to fight before either, did you, running into me? ❜

❛ i’m having a hard time believing you hunted and killed monsters. ❜

❛ well, i’m not that type of hunter. ❜

❛ you know, maybe we can help each other. ❜

❛ ‘cause you’re, what, the monster’s friend? ❜

❛ all families have something in common. they follow us. for good, for bad. ❜

❛ we could die here. it’s an option. it’s not my choice, but it’s an option.❜

❛ cross me, and i’ll kill you. ❜

❛ you have a lovely name. and your friend is waiting for you. ❜

❛ a monster. masquerading as one of our own. ❜

❛ you freed a monster with a monster? ❜

❛ i can’t wait to find out what breed of evil you are. ❜

❛ until you rip my throat out, i suppose i’m fine. ❜

❛ yeah, i know, i’m an idiot. i know. but i’m also a human. ❜

❛ i’m also a human. perhaps not in the category that you would call a human a human. ❜

❛ you see, i’ve got systems to manage the hurt i could cause… ❜

❛ just stay away from me until you can’t. ❜

❛ i would never hurt you or hurt any one of them. ❜

❛ any hunting that i do is done by a part of me that is not me. and that’s not the part you’re with right now. ❜

❛ the next full moon is in five days. we have plenty of time to figure something out. ❜

❛ i shouldn’t have asked for your help. ❜

❛ i need you to look at me. okay? do not break eye contact, no matter what.❜

❛ i need to remember you. ❜

❛ just kill me as i am. otherwise there will be no mercy, i promise. ❜

❛ once this is over, you’ll notice my hands are clean. his? not so much. ❜

❛ [name], you still in there? ❜
