[hatharose-blog]

SO UPDATE; i didn’t mean to vanish this time, i just came home from work to no wifi, and that’s been the case for the last couple days. i’m at the library now, and i’m gonna aim to queue some stuff to fill up while i’m gone. to reach me on mobile, i’m at @translatedhearts, or you can ask for my discord if you don’t have it and we’re mutuals~

❛ i like to keep you on your toes, [name]. constant anxiety does wonders for the complexion. ❜

❛ when you purse your lips like that, you look like you’ve made love to a lemon. ❜

❛ how is it i smell like goose shit and cheap whiskey and you smell like you just ran through a meadow of wildflowers? ❜

❛ perhaps i should have brushed up on my prayers. ❜

❛ you don’t enter a fight you can’t win. ❜

❛ then come here, [name], and kiss me sweetly as a new bride would. ❜

❛ we’ll tell each other lies as married couples do. it will be a good game. ❜

❛ how can you be so sure? perhaps the list of my talents is so long you just haven’t gotten to the end. ❜

❛ it will be all right. we’ll solve this problem as we’ve solved all the others before. ❜

❛ when the gods give you another look at the world, best enjoy it. ❜

❛ if men were ashamed when they should be, they’d have no time for anything else. ❜

❛ i know. [place]. if the cold doesn’t kill you, the smell will. ❜

❛ well, lucky you, [name]. you’re about to acquire me as a wife. i enjoy long naps and short engagements, and i prefer the left side of the bed. ❜

❛ fears are like weed. they grow wild if left unattended. ❜

❛ must you insist i stay human? ❜

❛ if i told you we needed magical dust to make me vomit peppermints, you’d probably say you could rig something up. ❜

❛ i’m afraid i have more bad news. ❜

❛ just think of all the dinners and tea and dancing. ❜

❛ one day you will overstep and i will not be so forgiving. ❜

❛ do that thing you do where you use too many words to say something simple and confuse the issue. ❜

❛ did i not promise particularly delicious trouble? ❜

❛ how drunk am i expected to get before this all starts looking better? ❜

❛ i knew you would turn on me. i just didn’t think it would be so soon. ❜

❛ i’m at my most murderous on an empty stomach. ❜

❛ i’m not keen on riots. unless they involve dancing, but i believe those are usually referred to as parties. ❜

❛ every day you choose the work of living. every day you choose to go on. there is no failure here, [name]. ❜

❛ i know you think me mad, but i have seen miracles. ❜

❛ here is a place to hide when you’re frightened, to play when you’re bored, to rest when the world seems unkind. ❜

❛ are you sure you don’t want to try trusting me, [name]? it’s positively intoxicating. ❜

❛ overreacting is throwing a tantrum when someone eats the last sweet roll. you were out for blood. ❜

❛ i suppose the secret is that i cannot stand being alone. but there are some places no one can go with us. ❜

❛ desperation makes people do ugly things, and it is always the girls who suffer first. ❜

❛ you owe me an entire crop of apologies. why start now? ❜

❛ hand me that brandy. i can’t tolerate this degree of stupidity on a clear head. ❜

❛ the trick to acting is to believe the lie yourself, at least a little. ❜

❛ is this the part where we die well? ❜

❛ i am the weapon. i don’t need a cudgel or a blade. ❜

❛ you can make up any happy ending you want, but you know it’s true. don’t ask me to sacrifice the hope of the living for the comfort of the dead. ❜

❛ i like to bet on myself whenever i can. but usually with other people’s money. ❜

❛ everyone mourns for the first blossom. who will weep for the rest that fall? ❜

❛ i will remain to sing for you, long after the spring has gone. ❜

❛ i’ve never met anyone like you. ❜

❛ when i said you were talented, i meant it. when i said you were glorious, i meant that too. ❜

❛ most women suffer for the sake of the flowers. but we who would wield power adorn ourselves in flowers to hide the sting of our thorns. ❜

❛ do not look back. your future is waiting. ❜

❛ can you forgive us? for being foolish? for being frail? for being fallible despite our great powers? can you forgive yourself? ❜

❛ i’m trying to do the responsible thing. i think it’s giving me indigestion. ❜

❛ why is it so easy for you to contemplate your death? ❜

❛ i suppose the world would be less interesting without you in it. ❜

❛ i wanted…strength. safety. i never wanted to feel helpless again. ❜

❛ i always figured i’d die young. why not do it shoving my boot up that murderer’s ass? ❜

❛ if we don’t dream, who will? ❜

❛ come back. promise you’ll come back to us. ❜

❛ of course i’ll come back. i don’t trust anyone else to deliver my eulogy. ❜

❛ remember who you are. ❜

❛ you were an able student. prove to me that you are a great one. ❜

❛ stop punishing yourself for being someone with a heart. you cannot protect yourself from suffering. to live is to grieve. ❜

❛ please don’t leave me. not you too. ❜

❛ what is it to be a god without worship? a queen without subjects? i was the witch in the wood, the queen on her throne, the goddess in her temple. i will be once more. i will savor fear and desire and awe again. ❜

❛ this time i saved you. this time i got it right. ❜

❛ i’m sorry for the hurt i caused. i’m sorry to have lost your trust. but we are soldiers, [name], warriors born. and we do what has to be done. ❜

❛ my only comfort is that you never could have been mine. but know that i would have gladly been yours. ❜

❛ you’ve been seen on the grounds, though no one seems to know where you go. ❜

❛ how could the world be falling apart before sunrise? it wasn’t civilized. ❜

❛ of course you should keep him here. preferably stuffed above my mantel. ❜

❛ now put on your most devout face, [name]. you make a darling heretic, but i need you looking pious. ❜

❛ we begin in darkness, and it is to darkness we return. ❜

❛ i’d like to see if an excess of irony can actually kill a man. ❜

❛ that’s what [name] said about absinthe. ❜

❛ it still tastes like sugar dipped in kerosene. ❜

❛ [name] does not need or want our approval. ❜

❛ [name], you are trespassing in territory you cannot begin to understand. ❜

❛ [name], if you upset my [wife/husband/etc.] again, i will kill you where you stand. ❜

❛ you’ve never threatened to murder anyone for me before. ❜

❛ i am a [king/queen/ruler]. i long for entertainment. ❜

❛ it’s not exciting if nothing can go wrong. ❜

❛ if they were truly afraid, you wouldn’t have to simper and preen. ❜

❛ regicide isn’t on my list of preferred crimes. ❜

❛ i saw nothing without explanation. ❜

❛ one of the only joys left to me is courting danger, and [place] offers few opportunities for it. ❜

❛ it’s good to be home. ❜

❛ sometimes you have to feed the demon. ❜

❛ i once got drunk and insisted you make me blond. ❜

❛ i wish there were no one in the world but you and me, that there were no countries, no kings and queens. ❜

❛ as free as i’ll ever be. ❜

❛ perhaps some light torture, then? or you could just let me kick him in the head for the next hour. ❜

❛ [place] made me a soldier. [place] made me a spy. ❜

❛ then i’ll just have to blow a hole in the wall. ❜

❛ our first job is always to survive. i won’t apologize for it. ❜

ELENORA

hey, do you hear me?

do you hear me now?

stay near me

[name], please be here

it grows so quiet on widow’s peak.

silence shares my madness

ONLY THE LONELY SURVIVE

i’d rather hurt here than be happy somewhere else

nobody scars me like you like you do

but no one will ever be compared to you

we all heal though

but i know, a love like this will end in tragedy

burns us both to love this close

i know we won’t get out alive

but only the lonely survive

you never know to stay or go

ECHOES OF YOU

i’ve never given into madness

but i’m better now than before

but that’s not who i am anymore

you still haunt the corner of my eye

echoes of you repeating from the beating of your tell-tale heart

i just wanna make it vanish

but the notes of an old mistake still ring louder every day

a relentless refrain is the only thing that remains

DON’T MISS ME?

i guess it’s true how time can fly

i know i said that i would call

but i never think of you at all

it’s not like i/you miss your/my laughter

it’s not like i/you miss your/my face

it’s not like i/you can’t get past it

it’s not like i/you miss your/my taste

i’m just a drink away from honesty, so who knows what’s true

but i’m wondering if maybe you don’t miss me too

i don’t remember why we stayed

some people try to live instead

WISH YOU WERE HERE

mirror mirror on the wall, who’s fairer

can you save me from today’s night terror

i can’t shake this ache i carry

i can’t remember why

try not to fall, but there ain’t no stopping it

i just wish that you were here

i just wondering what do i do now

what’s a little bit of hopeless hoping?

who we are in the end what matters

i’ll say it loud, i wish you were here

YOUR GHOST

just can’t help but see your face

you never seem to manage just to disappear

but the ghost of you is always near

you are just enough

i could leave this place forever but i know i’d never sever from your ghost

my haunted heart is uneasy

it’s like every time you vanish, you’re still here

i never need to wonder

GLIMMER

saw you in black and white, bathed in the city light

got lost in the glare

can we forgive and forget?

can we catch our breath?

you can burn too bright to see

it’s funny what you find when you go without

i can see a glimmer of us

but tell me what does it mean if we could never leave it

you’ve changed but it’s not enough

i can’t get it off me

I KNEW YOU WHEN

i’ve been somewhere like this before

and it was easier back then

honey, i knew you when

i’ve been loving you too long to just suddenly move on from this

you said forever’s not enough

we were close

i thought time was supposed to heal it

don’t do shit but keep you feeling older

i’m sure you’re wondering

is this a new beginning or the start of another end?

THE DEATH OF ME

we awoke surprised to remember

the ghost of me will keep us far apart

no, you don’t deserve this

before you go, i just wanted you to know

i would love you if i could

my unsteady heart’s not ready

it’s gonna be the death of me

i would give you anything if i had anything to give left

i don’t miss her

but the truth is her ghost, it haunts me still

i don’t know how to work this 

i’ve forgotten how it feels to have my head over my heels

i don’t wanna walk away

it’s not fair to let you stay

THE KILLING KIND

the deep stares back, speaks to me

i know my love can be the killing kind

what if i was wrong ‘bout never moving on?

you were haunted too

can’t get out from under it

my love is the killing kind

you should never be here

it was me, all along

sing it for me baby

don’t love the bottle, but the bottle loves me

one for the memory, two for the pain

if madness overtakes us both, then nobody would be alone

the ghost of us can linger here

together bound in madness

why don’t we just savor it?

“christian handled it, “ but why was she hiding blood again when she was quite sure rose could tell, and sense the magic burning in the air from lissa reaching for spirit. “ he burned them up, it wasn’t fast enough, though— “ right, she thought. somebody wanted her gone that bad that they’d send leagues after her if they had too. her and her sister, jill. who was by all accounts save, “ i know who it is. the conservatives. the ones who would rather die than have me. “ alone. they’d love her and adrian together. no doubt.  “ you two deserve time alone, “ she points out. because lissa dragomir had become selfless to the point of ridiculousness these days. 

“he shouldn’t have to. where were your other guardians?” as queen, lissa should’ve had a team of them with her, even if rose herself wasn’t there. as much as she trusted christian to protect her best friend, it still wasn’t his position to do so. not like this. at least it wasn’t a strigoi attack, having been in broad daylight. “i still say you let me threaten them.” the words were muttered, since even she knew that violence wasn’t the way to deal with other royals and their hang-ups on lissa’s more liberal views. 

a shake of her head, dark hair flying with the action, and the dhampir scowled at her friend. “lis, that’s not important compared to your safety. dimitri and i would both hate it if you got hurt because we weren’t there.” they come first, that was the belief drummed into every guardian, and both rose and her boyfriend lived by those words. “we get alone time when you’re here, safe. when you leave court, then i need to be by your side.”

[hatharose-blog]

that's a whole balancing act you've got there. how's it going with lissa? /anon

anon me!

“you know, just an average day for a badass like me.” sure, it was rough, but every time rose looked at how everything had turned out in the end, she was happy. her best friend was making changes in their world, trying to help all sorts of people and showing that she was strong in her own way. and she got to be with the man she loved, the one she had fought for almost as hard as she had to protect lissa.

it wasn’t easy, sure, but it was worth everything.

still, the guardian gave a cocky grin, hands resting on her hips as she did so. “the queen’s doing great. she’s got the best protection any moroi can have, after all.” sure, there was that pesky issue of the conservatives wanting her off the throne, but rose was just waiting for them to go far enough that she could actually punch them. leave the “we’re good, it’s all good.”

[hatharose-blog]

rose is bi as fuck. she has a slight preference for men but... still bi.

@hatharose​ 

broken skin that was, blessedly , not her own fault, peaked out from lissa’s sleeve. the first time christian and lissa are allowed out on their own; away from court, and they’re attacked. she’d insisted rose go and follow dimitri, claiming it was a quick trip. the queen knew full well the effects of spirit, but she reached for her element anyway, and healed the damaged skin just as she reached her best friend’s side. “ -and how was it?” cheerfulness masked tiredness. from being out in the sun, and the assasin.

she never should’ve let lissa get her way on this, rose thought, watching her best friend in the entire world approach. but when one’s closest friend was also one’s queen, it was hard to find the line where one stopped and the other began. “uneventful, which is more than i can say for you.” a sharp glance was given to lissa’s sleeve, and once again the guardian hated how she wasn’t there. “no quick trips like that anymore, not until we’ve rooted out who’s paying for your death.”

[hatharose-blog]

@hatharose​ 

she glances at the dhampir, then her eyes go down to the plastic cup with coffee; black and three shots of expresso. ah, the god given gift of caffeine. she’d be lost without her daily dose. “ coffee’s definitely a meal, “ she says decidedly,  and shakes her head, “ besides, i thought you came here for a work reason.”

eyeing the cup in question, rose can’t help but frown. “i’d pass out so quickly on just coffee. people need carbs, protein, that kind of stuff to survive.” ok, maybe part of that was because she spent a good deal of her day working out or preparing to fight people, but still. even regular humans needed to eat, right? “come on, we can catch up. it’s been awhile, and the others can watch over jill for a bit.” she was only in for a couple days, after all.
