@yoursmary​ said: what a mess we’re making of things. red dead redemption 2 sentence starters  ,  accepting.

“you mean - my mess, that by extension, you’re now a part of,” is gentle, but he means it, glancing from the ground up at mary. he’s always tried to keep his affairs with the gang separate from mary, at least a layer of division between them, but at some point the gang had started to consume him entirely. is there even an arthur morgan that is not subservient to the van der linde gang? most of all, to dutch? 

when he looks at mary that’s easy to believe, but now - the chaos of the past few weeks, of barely escaping guarma and seeing her old man again, who still looks at him with the same disdain in his eyes from all those years ago despite how he’s withered away - there’s no denying it. he can’t keep idealizing her, can’t keep the polished image of her on a pedestal as some kind of fantasy he can take out whenever shit goes awry. not anymore.

a big hand covers one of her own. 

“oh, mary - if i knew what was good for either of us, i would’ve turned you down when you first asked for my help. milton and ross wouldn’t know you, wouldn’t know remotely what you mean to me, wouldn’t be able to hurt you - but i’ve always been selfish, haven’t i?”

DIALOGUE PROMPTS FROM ROCKSTAR’S RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2. feel free to change pronouns & tenses as needed.

you’re the only one i can rely on to stay strong right now.

never thought i’d say this but it’s good to see you.

we’re gonna need to come up with a better story for that scar.

go away, you’re drunk.

you’re my favorite parasite. no, wait, ringworm is my favorite parasite, then rats with the plague, then you.

they’ll never take me alive! 

i’m not your idea of charity. 

who made you judge, jury, and executioner? 

i haven’t done anything wrong, besides not play the game by your rules.

what a mess we’re making of things.

no wonder they all leave you.

just be one thing or another. don’t be two people at once. 

i will break every goddamn bone in your body.

you ain’t as tough and dense as all that.

i wish i had acquired wisdom at less of a price.

these kids, they’re the worst.

we can’t change what’s done, we can only move on.

maybe you could just leave us alone. maybe you could fight some other battle.

don’t forgive me.

you can’t fight nature. you can’t fight change. 

have some goddamn faith.

you don’t get to live a bad life and have good things happen to you.

help someone who can still be helped, or help yourself.

you’re right to dislike me. i ain’t looking for that to change.

i’m a survivor, that’s all there is - living and dying. 

be loyal to what matters. 

i’ve lived a bad life. 

i guess i’m afraid.

that’s the problem - you don’t know you. 

you and i, we’re more ghosts than people.

maybe you don’t know me as well as you think you do. 

that bad man you think you are, i’ve never met him. he lives inside your head.

i ain’t afraid of dying. 

i gave you all i had. 

you’ve got a heart. a small one, perhaps, hidden deep inside, but a real one. 

some legacies aren’t worth pissing on.

yelena shoves at the hands that cup the gushing wound in her thigh. the hands feel like a vice, like spiders crawling all over her skin. she doesn’t get touched unless she wants it these days, especially not like this - and she doesn’t like it.

it’s as if some sort of dam inside of her broke - the blood doesn’t stop, seeping through captain america’s fingers and onto the concrete floor under her. she finds she has no strength left to push him away, no strength to even grab the firearm beside her. 

at the risk of sounding like a petulant child, she says, “ah, fuck, stop - you’re hurting me. just leave me be. i’ll live, most likely. then i’ll-i’ll just shoot you again, and again, and again. can’t imagine that prospect excites you very much.”   /   @nutsaboutbirds ♡

DIALOGUE PROMPTS FROM HBO’S THE SOPRANOS - SEASON 1. feel free to change pronouns & tenses as needed!

it’s good to be in something from the ground floor.

do you want some of last night’s ___?

don’t tell me how to live my life.

i’m just worried about you, that’s all.

i told you, i already ate lunch.

i don’t drive when they’re predicting rain.

what a bedside manner. very fucking encouraging.

enough of this shit. what’s wrong with you?

you shouldn’t be here alone.

you’re supposed to take care of your mother.

there are some people who are not ideal candidates for parenthood.

i’m not dead yet, unfortunately for some.

oh, poor you.

you’re verging on sacrilege.

you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.

why do you always overexaggerate?

do you feel like frankenstein? a thing, lacking humanity, lacking human feelings?

it’s like i’m king midas in reverse, everything i touch turns to shit.

how much complaining can you do?

what’s killing me is that this is a self-inflicted wound.

we’re in a situation where everybody involved knows the stakes.

you’re not just in my life, you are my life.

it’s in the blood. it’s hereditary.

i wipe my ass with your feelings.

it’s like the fucking regularness of life is too fucking hard for me or something.

look at you. i bet you’re sleeping all the time.

don’t fucking lie to me.

i don’t die that fucking easy.

the hustle never ends.

i’m gonna live a nice, long, happy life, which is more than i can say for you.

The Sopranos - 1x12 “Isabella”

[soracities]

But I ask you….have you encountered any others who have truly met themselves? Some, I’m sure, but not many. I have known many people in my lifetime, and rarely do I find any who have been taken down to the quick, pruned so that their branches might grow back healthier than before. I can tell you with perfect honesty that the night in the forest was a gift. Many people live and die without ever confronting themselves in the darkness. Pray that one day, you will spin around at the water’s edge, lean over, and be able to count yourself among the lucky.

@rotmori , cont’d

“it’s not my fault you lack nuance or depth.” 

if only he could see the look on her face. she’s almost disappointed, but the idea of a man never does live up to the man himself, does it? she knows from personal experience. john kramer’s been dead a long time now, but she still yearns for his approval. 

which is when she considers the knife in her hand, the reflection of the pig mask staring back at her. the red from the light above casts a glare that almost blinds her. 

hm. 

she looks back at him, standing at her full height as if the remains of the latest failed contestant aren’t quite literally splattered at their feet. all that remains is entrails, meat where a face once was. 

that’s when she drops the knife in her hand. she does have another quite literally up her sleeve but the kid doesn’t need to know that. 

“see? i’m not going to hurt you.” she pulls off the pig mask, shaking dark hair free as she glances at him. a smile threatens the scarred corners of her mouth. “not unless you make me. i’d rather not, though, considering you’re just child’s play - at least compared to what i could do to you.”
