It’s munday, so naturally here’s a picture of my as Lara for Fanexpo last week.

   ❝Neither can I anymore so the point’s moot anyway.

    Can I go with both?     Look, if it annoys you that much then all you need to is tell me      an’ I’ll let you go put yourself in danger on your own.      —— An’ I’m not a hundred yet, that’s next year.

     Yeah. Yeah I know you do.      You remind me of Rogers; you’re both reckless idiots but there’s      no changin’ either of you. Don’t think I’d want to either. I do wish      you’d both ease up on the personal endangerment from time to      time though.❞

   ❝ y’know Barnes, I think that’s actually a good thing. can’t imagine it being fun, waking up from that. ...well, no, it doesn’t annoy me that you tag along. you can be half decent company, when you want to be. and I won’t deny that I appreciate the extra firepower. but I also won’t deny our combined destructive tendencies can be....er, destructive. I am going to take that as a compliment, you know. but I’ll keep that in mind. wouldn’t want to give the old man stress ulcers, now would I?❞

          “Do I look like the kind’a guy who has anything to leave behind? There’s a lot             of mystery in this world and if people aren’t going to step forward to bring it             to light, then… where’s the fun in that?” Death sentence or not, he wanted              discovery, he wanted answers, and he wanted to know what was out there.              He’d go to his grave once he looked into the face of fiction and could call              it reality. “Call me a madman if you want– but aren’t all historians at some             point or another?”

       silence, followed by a sigh as a hand rises to pinch the bridge of her nose. those words sound almost familiar; Lara can’t even tell if they had come out of her father’s mouth, or hers. ❝ maybe you don’t realize yet what you might have to leave behind. ❞ it’s advice borne of her own mistakes, and though she may be talking to a burglar stranger, it isn’t as though she can bear to see anyone suffer the same losses as she had.       ❝ alright. fine. one look; that’s all you’re getting. ❞ she supposes it won’t hurt to reveal to him the existence of something that’s already been destroyed------by Lara herself. ❝ ever heard of the Divine Source? ❞ the breath she draws almost sounds as though strained. her adventure in Siberia may have opened her eyes to so much more, but the Source’s connection to the loss of her father still proves to be a bit of a sore subject.

Apparently “spite” is not an ‘appropriate answer’ to “What motivates you?”

important;; don’t be shy if you have a plot idea with me. I’m really open to these big, intricate storylines between our muses that have room to expand the characters and see development. Wanna ship our muses? Hit me up. Think my muse would be a great sibling figure to your character? Tell me. Have a cliche plot that you wanna do? I’m down. Please, I honestly love making these storylines and falling head over heels for a ship or get really emotional over relationships and enjoy how the story & characters progress.

    ❝I think I’d rather deal with the freezer burn, if I’m bein’ totally honest. 

      I’ve been dealin’ with ‘scary, shady organisations’ since before even       your daddy was born - why do you think I tag along in the first place?

      An’ how long before you don’t survive?        You can only play that card so many times before your luck runs out.        I’d rather that not happen, kid. Yours ain’t a funeral I wanna go to.❞

❝ well, we can’t all crawl into a freezer until people, er, suck less.  are you just an adrenaline junkie, then, or babysitting me? why would anyone think it’s a good idea to have a hundred year-old salt pillar babysit me? ....oh. er. thanks. I think. but I      after everything I’ve seen and experienced      knowing what’s out there, and knowing who’s after it...I can’t not do this.❞

@chloebennet4: When life gives you lemons, paint that shit gold.

so the only female Emperor of China has for a long time been touted as a tyrant, incompetent, evil, etc. but recent findings totally contradict this. she made China super rich by increasing trade. her capitol was multicultural and had international markets with traders from all over. women were for the first time able to divorce their husbands and even gain position in the government (commoners were also allowed to have positions in the government), and she’d even appointed a female prime minister.

but the crusty old men around her couldn’t stand the thought of having a woman in power and be so accomplished. they couldn’t even overthrow her, so they decided to shit talk her after death.

and if you think Lara is passionately salty about this whole ordeal, you’re damn right.

           “You father was one for hidden civilizations and urban legends, right? I’ve seen some of his discoveries in the paper, but I’m not here to take any of the relics he brought back. I want to know what he figured out about those legends. I want to know if he has any records of their authenticity. It sounds ridiculous, but I want to know if the things he saw– the things he talked about –are real. I want to know that he wasn’t just making it all up. Once I know, I’ll leave. I’ll take what I came here with, which is me, myself, and I, and I’ll be on my way.”

          the silence draws for longer than intended as her thoughts conflicted. she can’t tell if he’s mocking her, manipulating her, or genuine. ❝ he wasn’t making it up. ❞ it’s the only thing she can say with any conviction. ❝ he spent his last years completely obsessed. it consumed him. and now he’s dead. you sure you want to get caught up in any of that? ❞ there’s a bitter twist to her lips, the irony not lost on her.

“Look– all I’d like to do is read a few of your dad’s files. I’m interested in   reading how my research and your father’s differed. I’m interested in   answers and that’s all.” 

           ❝ research. you broke into my home to look at some research. ❞  the skepticism is painted clearly on her features, and her posture straightens as her guard once again rises. and though she is poised almost as if to fight ( she seems to always be ready for a fight, now ) , Lara only continues to regard the intruder with narrowed eyes and veiled curiosity. ❝ and what kind of answers would you be looking for? assuming your definition of seeking answers isn’t synonymous with making off with a priceless relic. ❞
