what an aesthetic!

I'm like if a chivalrous knight kissed a fair maiden's hand and said "my lady, I fight for you" and then walked off and immediately tripped over his own armor and fell on the ground

#funny#if the lady's a keeper she would make a funny comment to dissipate the tension#'my good knight though I admire your skills you have no need to fight the whole earth for my sake'

This would be amazing.

Alicia Ostriker, from The Imaginary Lover: Poems; “25th Year of Marriage, It Goes On,”

[gentleheartstronghands]

“I used to be afraid of meeting with beasts but I dreamt too many stories where Ariadnes loved their bull-brothers and princesses took their dragons to heart and now there is a desperation in me for teeth and claws and anger. Leave me in the maze stringless and dazed and let the monster chew me up and spit me out bloodied and hardened. I will learn vengeance and I will learn rage and I will be eaten up until I am tough enough to face a world that would keep me soft and helpless. Let me not just meet with monsters but let me love them also.”

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”

— Neil Gaiman (via minuty)
