& .˚ other ways to say goodbye. ( this was a fun request because i am always down for angsty stuff ! basically it’s several words / action that say goodbye without actually saying the word. sender’s muse is the muse of the blog sending the meme, receiver’s muse is the one receiving it. pretty straightforward. send reverse along with the word of the action to reverse the sender/receiver. have fun !! )
“ i’m not ready . ”
“ don’t- don’t say it . ”
“ don’t make this harder than it already is . ”
“ i love you . ”
“ i’ll always love you . ”
“ this isn’t fair . ”
“ so… this is it . ”
“ you got this . ”
“ i’ll find my way back to you . ”
“ this isn’t a goodbye because i know we’ll find each other again. ”
“ i wish we didn’t have to do this . ”
“ come back to me . ”
“ you’re gonna be okay . ”
“ you know where to find me . ”
“ there’s still time to change your mind . ”
“ we both knew this was coming . ”
“ you’ll always have a place with me . ”
“ you don’t have to do this . ”
“ sometimes things don’t turn out as we want them . ”
“ you know i wouldn’t do this if i had a choice . ”
“ i hope you find what you’re looking for . ”
“ i hope you find happiness . ”
“ i have to do this . ”
actions.
( embrace ) - for the sender’s muse to hug the receiver’s muse for a long time as a goodbye .
( kiss ) - for the sender’s muse to kiss the receiver’s muse for one last time .
( peck ) - for the sender’s muse to briely kiss the receiver’s muse as an everyday goodbye .
( hold ) - for our muses to hold hands for a long period before they seperate .
( tears ) - for our muses to have a teaful goodbye . bonus: without saying any words at all .
( craddle ) - for the sender’s muse to hold the receiver’s muse at their last moments .
( sleep ) - for our muses to have sex as a goodbye .
( wait ) - for the sender’s muse to stop the receiver’s muse from leaving because they have something they want to say to them .
( day ) - for our muses to spent a last day together before going their seperate ways .
( go ) - for the sender’s muse to walk away from the receiver’s muse without saying anything.
— ask meme : THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR, MAX GLADSTONE & AMAL EL-MOHTAR.pronouns / tenses changed in some places.
twice is coincidence. three times is enemy action.
killing gets easier with practice, in mechanics and technique. having killed never does.
you know — just as i’ve known, since our eyes met — that we have unfinished business.
it’s been so long since i last started a new conversation.
we knew one another as one knows a childhood dream.
our glorious crystal future shines so bright i gotta wear shades, as the prophets say.
i’d walk a swath of rot through your verdancy, no matter how light i tried to step.
it grieves me to think you’d make a boring poker player. but then i imagine you’d cheat, and that’s a comfort.
let me tell you what you have told me, speaking plain: you could have killed me, but didn’t.
tell me something true, or tell me nothing at all.
there’s a kind of time travel in letters, isn’t there?
do i have you still? do i address empty air and the flies that will eat this carcass?
if we’re to be at war, we might as well entertain each other.
that’s what we treasure. that’s us, always: the volcano and the wave.
hunger, ___ — to sate a hunger or to stoke it, to feel hunger as a furnace, to trace its edges like teeth — is this a thing you, singly, know?
have you ever had a hunger that whetted itself on what you fed it, sharpened so keen and bright that it might split you open, break a new thing out? sometimes i think that’s what i have instead of friends.
this is a place i love, and hate myself for loving.
i was the only person on that tiny rock, and i made the world go dark.
i wanted to be seen. that need dug into the heart of me.
i was light, hollowed, hungry.
have you been lonely?
you place each stone expecting it may do many things. a confession is also a dare is also a compulsion.
i have observed friendship as one observes high holy days.
harvest is not a word for swiftness; the future harvests us, stomps us into wine, and we grow stronger and more potent together.
what i return to, the me-ness that i know as pure, inescapable self… is hunger.
i love cities. to be alone in a crowd, apart and belonging, to have distance between what i see and what i am.
shit. i’m sorry. i can’t keep up the joke. and it’s wrong to call you enemy.
i am more sensitive to your footsteps, i think, than anyone alive.
this letter is a knife at my neck, if cutting’s what you want.
i see you as a wave, as a bird, as a wolf. i try not to think of you the same way twice.
i have built a you within me, or you have. i wonder what of me there is in you.
you’ve whetted me like a stone.
i remember bright light, and then — hunger. hunger that was turning me inside out, hunger in the most primal way imaginable, hunger that obliterated every other thing.
i was only my own body, only my own senses, only a girl whose parents were running to her because she had a bad dream.
this feels like teetering on the brink of something that will unmake me. but i trust you.
there was, i am sure, a time i did not know you. or did i dream that me, as i’ve so often dreamed of you?
i want to be a body for you.
i sought loneliness when i was young. but when i think of you, i want to be alone together.
i want to be a context for you, and you for me.
i love you, and i love you, and i want to find out what that means together.
this is me, the truth of me: broken open, in the palm of your hand, dying.
you must feel it — the difference? we’re on the brink of something.
i would rather break the world than lose you.
i’ll be all the poets. i’ll kill them all and take each one’s place in turn, and every time love’s written it will be to you.
how could you die like this? how could you die at all?
sometimes you have to hold a person, though they’ll mistake embrace for strangulation.
what does zoe think of her power? does she love it? does she hate it? does she have any specific associations with it? if she could switch out the element she has for another, would she?
@nirgama / random meta stuff, always accepting!
oof. zoe has a ... complicated relationship with her powers. growing up, she had a pretty good grip on it. fairly in control of them about 99% of the time. up until the incident, she didn't know about their whole extent though. realizing she was much much stronger than she originally thought or anyone could have guessed. after the whole thing, she obviously wasn't too fond of them anymore. convinced her powers only bring chaos and destruction.
there was a period of time - a couple of years - she didn't use her powers much while she was on the run. only to defend herself which would then prove her view that it's only for the worst. eventually, she leans into that perspective. being painted a villain after all. it takes a while for her to reconsider. to relearn that being part of the earth means life more than anything else.
i don't think she'd switch it out for any other element. it's been part of her since she can remember and while there are times, she would say she would switch - in the end, she couldn't imagine.
mmmm kinda feel like rambling abt how zoe thinks her powers are only for death / destruction / hurting someone and how she has to relearn to appreciate the earth and get to know the softer / gentler side of it means life and beauty.
random dramatic prompts.
what are these? idk. i distinctly remember writing them in a sleep-deprived daze after i binged four episodes of shad/ow and b/one. lowkey inspired, but not necessarily derived from the series. just following the same intense vibe, if you know what i mean. anyway, bon appetit!
" i need to know what happened. "
" something is clearly bothering you. "
" what am i to you? "
" what are you? "
" i can protect you. "
" you have no idea what you've unleashed. "
" how far would you go to protect the ones you love? "
" this is so much bigger than you realize. "
" stop lying to me! "
" i'd follow you to the ends of the universe. "
" people have died! doesn't that bother you?! "
" home isn't a place. it's you. it's always been you. "
" i don't know how you do this every day... "
" you can talk to me. "
" there's so much you don't know. "
" do you have any idea what you're capable of? "
" i can't let you do this. "
" how do you expect to stop me? "
" oh, darling... don't cry. there was nothing you could've done to prevent this... "
" we're going to change the world, you and i. "
" separate, we're powerful, but together... together we're unstoppable. "
" it's too late. this can't be undone. "
" i would give my life to keep you safe. "
" you're/i'm the only one who can stop this. "
" what have you done?! "
" it's not possible. "
" we can't run from this forever. "
" you're not alone. never have been, never will be. "
" we need a plan. "
" i need you. "
" there's nothing in this world that can keep us apart. "
" there's nowhere else we can run! nowhere else to hide! "
" how could you do this?! "
" i trusted you! "
" was it you? did you do all this? "
" i see a great power in you. but will it save us? or destroy us? "
" you lied to me! "
" we can't fix this. can we? "
" there has to be a way we can stop this! "
@unbearablyindifferent / mini sc.
it’s always incredibly easy to tell if someone was following. they have this strange way of walking. uneven. trying to be sneaky but the vibrations on the ground give them away. what she didn’t know is who she was dealing with here. which is exactly why she’s lead the woman here. away from other people. just in case she had to defend herself - no one else would accidentally get hurt. her guard is up - as usual. an abandoned building by the end of the street. finally, zoe turns around and looks her opponent up and down.
“ let’s get this over with. what do you want from me ? ”
super lowkey starter call ?
"it all comes crashing down..."
@nirgama / meme / accepting
this isn't really what she needed right now. in the middle of it all, udy breaking down is not very helpful. with a swift hand movement, zoe buries another man under a boulder before turning to her friend. cupping her cheeks with both hands to get the focus on herself and look her directly in the eyes.
❛ look at me. don't do this. i know it's a lot but you need to get it together. you got this. you can break down and cry when we're out of here. deep breath and go. ❜

*: ・゚✧ interrogation starters.
feel free to change pronouns etc as needed.
CALM / QUESTIONING.
“ tell me, what happened?”
“ did you see anything?”
“ what do you remember?”
“ do you remember anything unusual?”
“ please, try to remember as much as you can.”
“ every detail is important.”
“ and what happened next?”
“ and what did you do when all this took place?”
“ what were you doing around __ am/pm?”
“ where were you around __ am/pm?”
“ can anyone verify that?”
“ was someone with you?”
“ and you had nothing to do with it?”
“ and you weren’t involved?”
“ did you see it happen?”
“ did you see who did it?”
“ did you see or hear anything? anything at all?”
CARING / UNDERSTANDING.
“ you seem scared… is that why you don’t want to talk?”
“ did someone hurt you?”
“ it’s okay. you can tell me.”
“ you were just trying to defend yourself, weren’t you?”
“ we can take a break, if you want.”
“ everything will be okay, i promise. but you need to talk to me.”
“ it’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it. but it really would help if you did.”
SUSPICIOUS.
“ there is something you’re not telling me.”
“ i think you’re lying.”
“ you looked away just now when you said that. are you sure you’re telling the truth?”
“ except what you’re telling me doesn’t align with what we already know.”
“ seems to me like you know more than you’re letting in on.”
“ what aren’t you telling me?”
“ who are you trying to protect?”
“ so you really don’t know what any of it means? no clue at all?”
“ they must’ve told you more than that.”
“ you have to have seen more than that.”
“ and you want me to believe you don’t remember?”
“ and you want me to believe you had nothing to do with it?”
“ an accident? is that what you’re going with?”
DEMANDING.
“ i need you to tell me the truth.”
“ i need you to tell me what happened.”
“ i know you’re not telling me the truth.”
“ that doesn’t line up with the evidence. so… you wanna try that again?”
“ stop lying. i already know that’s not what happened.”
MAKING A DEAL / ASKING FOR HELP / DEMANDING HELP.
“ what do you want in exchange for this information?”
“ i’m listening…”
“ you’re coming with me.”
“ since you’re the only one who knows how to find them, i don’t really have a choice but to take you with me.”
“ fine. i’ll take you with me, but if you try anything…”
“ i can’t give you that. you know that.”
“ if we’re going to make a deal, you’re gonna have to ask for something a little more rational than that.”
“ okay. we have a deal.”
“ sorry. no deal.”
