home, pt. 1.

dialogue prompts from home by marilynne robinson.

why so quiet? you've never heard the truth before?

you take things too much to heart.

so much was never explained to me. we were that kind of family.

the truth has hard edges and sharp corners.

it's like i had a dream of adulthood and woke up here, in my parents' house.

who gets to say what's good and what's bad?

i wasn't always sure i'd live to see a day like this.

you seem transformed, but not changed.

twenty years is a very long time.

i knew i heard your voice, and i couldn't wait to get a look at you.

you couldn't be more welcome here.

what right do you have to be so strange?

i'm something. i don't quite know what i am.

how do you know i'm not a communist?

i don't really want to keep to myself so much. it's just a habit.

do you read palms?

what do people do for work around here?

i need to read my horoscope. i've forgotten what i did yesterday.

'insinuating' is an ugly word. snaky.

everything i do makes everything worse.

i'm always willing to play by the house rules.

you just picked me up and carried me, didn't you?

i'm not who you remember. i know that.

all i need is an eagle to peck at my liver, such as it is.

whatever the trouble is, i'll help if i can.

it never seems to make much of a difference, whether or not i'm at fault.

call me whatever you like. it's wonderful just to hear your voice.

i'm surprised you remember so much.

are you gonna try to save my soul?

i think i like your soul the way it is.

it is art that keeps the demons at bay.

what do you act like when you're happy?

i always thought this was an excellent place to be a child.

even the most virtuous are in no position to pass judgment.

it's remarkable how much you don't bother me.

hope is a valuable thing. there isn't always so much to rejoice about, in this life.

if you could find a way to leave, you'd be gone.

moral complexity was never my strong point.

i hope you're not mad at me, though i don't know why you wouldn't be.

i know i did the wrong thing, laughing like that.

it was all horrible enough to be funny, i suppose. now that it's over.

stupidity isn't a sin, so far as i know, but it should be one.

all my life i've wanted your attention, wanted to talk with you.

if you got to know me well enough, you might not want me around.

do you remember the time you paid me a dime to stop crying?

maybe there is no justice in the world, after all. what a wonderful thought.

you know that feeling you have when you're the reason people aren't talking?

i believe you may be the only friend i have in the world at the moment.

i don't want you to comfort me, i want you to help me.

of course i'll help you, but you have to tell me what to do.

my grandmother said you can always trust a morning dream.

i find it hard to believe these things you say about yourself.

home, pt. 2.

dialogue prompts from home by marilynne robinson.

i mean it, if i've ever meant anything in my life.

a good, brisk threat can orient a fellow.

i'm not exactly a pillar of strength.

i'm sorry. i shouldn't have mentioned it. i don't know why i did.

i'm a scoundrel. let's leave it at that.

i've prayed your whole life, for you to have a friend or two.

you don't strike me as someone who thinks they have friends.

it's probably my imagination, mostly.

i'm so tired of myself.

you always did what you wanted to do.

you're really not so hard to forgive.

you get used to kindness: after a while, you come to expect it. you miss it when it's gone.

you shouldn't lose hope.

i've taken the bait enough times to know how it feels when the trap shuts.

it's the things people can't account for that upset them.

certainty can be dangerous.

i just wanted to come home, even if i couldn't stay.

it's amazing to me that i can still disappoint you.

forgiveness is the sum and substance of loyalty.

religion is human behavior. grace is the love of god.

you don't really know me.

the conclusions are never as interesting as the questions.

a person can change. everything can change.

i don't really know what to do with myself. any suggestions?

i won't forgive you, for an hour or two.

you're furious. i can't say i blame you.

i'm sorry you saw me like that.

i just like you. i like spending time with you. you don't owe me anything.

when people are in trouble, they like to see a familiar face.

nobody deserves anything, good or bad.

something happened last night.

so many times, i've tried not to love you so much. i never got anywhere with it, but i tried.

kindness takes more strength than i have now.

you told me some things about myself that i'd forgotten.

you don't have to tell me anything you don't want to.

i'd have been like you, if i could.

i could scramble an egg for you.

i'll be here to help you.

don't you dare joke with me.

you've worried me almost to death. you've scared me almost to death.

cry if you want to, [name]. feel free.

anyone in the world would want a drink right now.

if you ever need to come home, i'll be here.

On Edge-Engaging (Ambivalent). On Edge-Engaging individuals tend to be very good at attracting the attention and admiration of others around them. Generally, they employ one of two strategies to do so:

1. The Helpmate: Either these people become very hardworking and effective with regards to their real-life dealings and practical matters, so that they will naturally draw the attention and esteem of others who could use their help. 2. The Playmate: Or - more frequently - these individuals attract the attention of others by being extremely charming, colorful, or entertaining. Many have also developed considerable psychological facility for getting under the skin of others.

In both cases, On Edge-Engaging individuals adopt these strategies because they have a root feeling of ambivalence about others: They feel that others wouldn't notice them and give them their fair due without them being a good Helpmate or Playmate. But at the same time, they also detest others for making them put on this act just to get basic love and validation. In other words, Ambivalent personalities tend to alternate between being sensitive to others and neglecting them; between seeking intense intimacy and driving artificial barriers to closeness in between themselves and others. Some individuals of this type feel a deep-seated sense of injustice towards others for having been made to develop their Helpmate/Playmate persona, instead of just being loved as they are. Because they carry with them this representation of others as being unfair, some On Edge-Engaging individuals may find it easy to excuse themselves from their obligations, or for cheating and/or fudging the truth. In general, Ambivalent individuals tend to be quite good at psychological manipulation and getting others to do what they want, and they often have a high degree of sensitivity and accuracy to other people's emotional states. When in their good graces, being close to an Ambivalent personality may feel like heaven, but once they have decided that you are treating them unfairly, being close to them may easily feel like hell.

This drawer pull - why is it featured so prominently in a life or in a death of one woman who was caught in a web of power? Can a victim of power end, in any way, connected to a drawer pull? How can this be?

[highwayj]

norma's not a bartender, though she's felt like one often enough: it's paramount that she handle people and their stories with grace. it's unprecedented, however --- on the job, at least --- that anyone express an interest in hers. she's certainly never been paid to eat her own gooseberry pie, much less by another woman.

she could get used to it.

"--- marty lindstrom was my father." it's obvious the stranger's been reading the menu's history, just from the questions she asks. "the place has been in my family longer than i have. i just keep the doors open." she also does all of the cooking now, of course, but that seems somehow less substantial. it's only diner food. / @aspirinqs

“But then: the day after day she saw [the couple] in the garden looking at a bird, a greenfinch, on the feeder, with their arms around each other’s waists, heads tipped back, and she felt a moment of intense pain and longing.”

— Jo Harkin, from Tell Me an Ending (Scribner, 2022)

Relaxed-Avoidant (Dismissive): Individuals in this quadrant often take a dim view of others, preferring to keep their distance and guard against invasions of their autonomy and privacy. Relaxed-Avoidant personalities tend to have a strong belief that others are too different from them for truly intimate relations to be worthwhile. They may have a spouse and family, and even be solidly anchored in a stable network of friends and acquaintances, but at the end of the day, they tend to avoid entering into relations where emotional interdependence and intimacy are required. Unlike individuals who fall in the On Edge-Avoidant quadrant, Dismissive personalities tend to be quite content keeping their deepest feelings and views to themselves, and they often have a deeply-held belief that the opinions of others are mildly irrelevant or even second-rate. Consequently, many Dismissive types are often quite good at dissimulating, that is, appearing to share their innermost thoughts, while in reality, they are simply appeasing others without ever letting them come close.

          Independent and proud of it, these individuals can typically achieve remarkable feats of social manipulation and self-restraint, but on the downside, they may have trouble kicking bad habits (such as drinking or smoking) which they can enjoy in solitude and use to comfort themselves, independently of the company of others. They can frequently be unmotivated or lazy with regard to the duties that others expect of them, but on the other hand, they are often very original (since they are not hindered by concerns about having to conform to the expectations of the group). Finally, they also tend to be intelligent risk-takers, since they are at heart relaxed and cool under fire.

i don't know enough about dusty yet to give her a whole Blog Page, but

i want to write her

she is ronette's sister (dana writes ronnie. sometimes)

her family is jewish! they immigrated from poland! she can't really remember anywhere but twin pea/ks, but that is fine, because she always won at those wretched icebreaker games

she's deaf. she does read lips, but she signs --- she's more likely to write you a note than she is to speak out loud, if you don't. but she can. she just usually will only do it for emphasis when someone is being the dumbest bitch alive

she works at a horse stable (broken circle stables), where she is a constant terror to The Rural Rich. but she's too good at the work and too hard a worker to fire.

(also, they think she'd accuse them of being ableist. except ... they do not know that word, because it's the 20th century. anyway. she thinks this is so funny)

she also Builds Things. and she will whittle you a stupid little animal.

(it will look stupid because she doesn't do this for money. or even with the foresight that she will give it to someone at all. she will just throw it at you, really.)

enneagram 9w8 probably fwiw

shoshan/nah stern. saved the best for last here :-)
