JUST A HEADS UP that if any of you would like to plot something and flesh it out before me writing a starter just lmk! because i tend to overdo it on the context but i don't want to meta game anyone!

[deathmourner]

death walks in woman's flesh - perfumes and lotions and soaps and silky gowns cannot entirely conceal the rotten stench of decaying corpses. she still smells it, feels it around herself like a second skin. scrubs it every night with the desperation of someone who seeks to cleanse something. sometimes, she attempts to cling to the memory of matthias' scent, as if that were to help her make it dissapear.

so, you are the corpsewitch, they say. angel of death disguised in soft petticoats.

" corpsewitch. they have called me that before, and worse. it's far from offensive by now, " cup of tea is brought to painted lips, and in her smile, a sardonic tint can be perceived, " do tell me, what do they call you, darling?? " @ithas

amused countenance studies the woman before her with utmost attention. there is something extremely soothing about watching elain archeron tend to the flowers in the gardens, as if they were her own children, as if, each time she held them in her hands, she were touching something precious.

nina has never really considered plants as sentinent beings ( you were raised to kill, to barely consider the enemy a living creature ), though she wonders, now as she watches elain hum to the rosebushes, if they can hear the melody, if they can feel. nina doesn't know why that notion disturbs her as much as it does.

" you know, it's impressive how you can literally grow anything you wish, " just tuck the seed beneath the ground and the fae will make it bloom, no matter the weather, no matter the cold, " i think i'd kill a dandelion if i ever tried to grow one by myself. " you are death, it is only fair, corpsewitch. @therosary ft. elain archeron.

russian doll (season two) dialogue prompts from the second season of netflix's russian doll.

it's not as bad as it looks.

i'm so sick of doctors i gotta see a doctor about it.

every time you compliment me, a cockroach gets its wings.

look, man, i'm not gonna fuck you.

do you need help getting home? anything?

if we don't do something, we're fucked!

basic concepts like time and space are suddenly eluding me.

am i haunting you? are you haunting me?

when the universe fucks with you, let it.

what happens to me in the future?

for the last time, that key is for emergencies.

the universe finally found something worse than death.

ask yourself this, are you happy?

do i need to be worried about you?

you do nothing but take and take.

you cannot undo this. this is done.

fetishizing death is not incompatible with genuinely caring.

i don't deserve you.

oh, no one deserves what they get in life.

listen, you and me, we got a long, long ways to go, all right?

fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!

i swear i'm gonna fix everything.

you only break things. you break trust. you break promises. you are broken.

there are things in life that cannot be explained.

being born doesn't make you a victim.

what are we doing?

can you keep a secret?

the problem is that we have different lives. maybe we only intersect here.

i don't need saving.

i wanna change everything in my life.

in the end, nothing can absolve us but ourselves.

do you trust me?

i thought that i could change things for us, you know?

nothing you do makes a difference 'cause the whole game is rigged, right?

oh, you think it's a bad idea?

you're okay, all right? you're safe.

come on. you can't keep doing this.

do you know who i could've been if everything had been different?

how have you been?

i am painfully misunderstood.

nothing in this world is easy except pissing in the shower.

what if we're stuck here for forever?

you have to stop beating yourself up for not being there.

we can't escape being the product of things we can't change.

i don't know what i was supposed to do.

i'm never gonna forgive myself.

i… i shouldn't have done anything at all. why did i do anything?

i fuck it all up. i always fuck it up.

i'm sorry. i'm sorry for being this way.

we can't spend our lives so scared of making the wrong move that we never live at all.

it all just seems so much easier for everybody else. am i wrong?

you had no obligation, but you loved me anyway, right?

NINA AND NE CRO MAN CY. what a concept!!!!

[deathmourner]

i like the idea that people can sense something macabre and eerie about nina (they can sense the corpsewitch behind the girl), an aura of death folllowing her that she tries fervently to conceal behind expensive perfumes and gowns and her pretty face. because while zoya embraces her inner monster, nina is terrified of it. she likes looking nonthreatening, she wants to look soft and beautiful, because while it also helps in case of a surprise attack, nina is horrified by her own darkness.

[deathmourner]

Ok but nina smells like strawberries and vanilla and the scent is strong on her ( to the point that it can be smelled clearly from afar ) and she does it purposefully, despite being advised against it during her trainings in the Little Palace ( as having a strong, identifiable scent is a liability to a soldier ).

However, nina persists on having a strong yet sweet scent around her, not only because of a bit of vanity, but also because she discovered that hearttrending is heavily linked to how the grisha’s own body and brain behave. By surrounding herself with a scent that soothes her and brings her happiness, nina is keeping her own body’s wavelength steady. Yes, i headcanon that hearttrender grisha can easily lose control of their powers when altered or agitated ( even to the point of harming their own bodies ).

[raw-rawr-wow]

[thewonderlandeversion]

[deathmourner]

Also, the other reason for Nina’s strongly scented perfumes of sweet desserts is because, sometimes, if she pays close attention, she swears she can smell the sour, rotten stench of death on her skin, and it brings her an overwhelming desire to claw and rip her own flesh - and being a hearttrender, it could actually happen if she lets such intrusive thoughts take over.
