‘critical role: curious beginnings’ prompts

Oh! You’re finally awake, I see.

You were out for quite some time, there. Rough day, eh?

If you need to steal something, do it with my help, all right?

You’re very handsome. I just need to tell you.

We can’t accept this, right? I mean, it’s too much.

Don’t arouse suspicion, but did you hear all that coin hit that table, [name] ?

You should take a bath. You know they have showers here. It’s possible.

You’re being mighty fucking friendly. They were looking at our coin.

I don’t think I’ve seen you eat anything other than pastries.

Oh my gosh, you’re so smart. Look at this guy, he knows everything!

Your first card, the Silver Dragon. This is good. You’re pure, you’re virtue, you are a worthwhile and wonderful human being, obviously, or creature of some repute.

[name], don’t you remember us talking about keeping a low profile?

You’re cheating. Somehow you’re cheating.

You guys aren’t in any trouble, are you? No one’s after you?

I’m so glad you all came to see the show. It’s going to be great tonight.

Will you hold me through the show?

It’s a very swaddling hug. You’ve never experienced anything like it.

I ask you, each and every one of you grant us your imaginations this eve

[name]? We’re going to need those weapons back.

Man, I thought it was kind of lame at first, but this is awesome!

Magic, you’re using magic.

Nein!

Now is the part where we dance.

This thing’s swinging hard. Holy shit.

I’m going to workshop it, I’ll make something later. For now, it’s a placeholder.

There was a sick guy! There was an old sick guy and he turned into a zombie!

Stay where you are. Don’t go anywhere.

I’m terribly sorry. I– this has never happened. I don’t know what happened.

We gave her a family she didn’t have.

Jokes are great until they get you killed, man.

but a cute supernatural-y sort of plot where one muse is a regular person who is trying desperately to prove that the supernatural exist - phone recording everything, going out late at night into their small town’s too-big forest, pulling all-nighters for research, maybe going so far as dabbling in blood rituals - and the other muse is some supernatural creature trying desperately to keep them safe. they’ve known each other for a short while - a ran into b in that forest after they fed, perhaps ? - and a has clung to them since. and the more a whacks the hornet’s nest with their big stick ( so to speak ), catching the attention and aggravation of much more powerful beings, b is now caught up in feelings ( romantic or platonic, either way ! ) for this hyperfixating, overexcited, terribly emotional human who is so driven to prove there’s more out there that they’re willing to risk never seeing it all to show it.

* (  THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO /  SENTENCE PROMPTS

people think that intimacy is about sex. but intimacy is about truth.

never let anyone make you feel ordinary.

i’m under absolutely no obligation to make sense to you.

don’t ignore half of me so you can fit me into a box.

don’t do that.

it’s always been fascinating to me how things can be simultaneously true and false, how people can be good and bad all in one.

sometimes reality comes crashing down on you.

heartbreak is a loss. divorce is a piece of paper.

when you’re given an opportunity to change your life, be ready to do whatever it takes to make it happen.

the world doesn’t give things, you take things.

you have to find a job that makes your heart feel big instead of one that makes it feel small.

please never forget that the sun rises and sets with your smile.

you’re the only thing on this planet worth worshipping.

be wary of men with something to prove.

the cruelest thing you can do to someone you love, give them just enough good to make them stick through a hell of a lot of bad.

you wonder what it must be like to be a man, to be so confident that the final say is yours.

i think you’re brilliant.

i think you’re tough.

do yourself a favor and learn to grab life by the balls.

don’t be so tied up in trying to do the right thing when the smart thing is so painfully clear.

you can be sorry about something and not regret it

the world respects people who think they should be running it.

if i want things to change, i have to change how i do things. and probably drastically.

people are messy, and love can be ugly.

i’m inclined to always err on the side of compassion.

you can’t tell a single thing about a person’s true character if you both want the same thing.

no one is just a victim or a victor. everyone is somewhere in between.

just go knowing you were loved, that i will never forget you.

you were my best friend.

nobody deserves anything. it’s simply a matter of who’s willing to go and take it for themselves.

why have i spent so long settling for less when i know damn well the world expects more?

taking pride in your beauty is a damning act.

forgiveness is different from absolution.

sometimes divorce isn’t an earth-shattering loss. sometimes it’s just two people waking up out of a fog.

if there are all different types of soul mates, then you are one of mine.

i am absolutely positive that i need you more than i’ve ever needed another living soul.

i loved you so much that i thought you were the meaning of my life.

i thought that people were put on earth to find other people, and i was put here to find you.

i don’t want to be meant for someone like you.

that’s the part i was stuck in, the part where you accept the apology because it’s easier than addressing the root of the problem.

it will be the tragedy of my life that i cannot love you enough to make you mine.

it’s a hard business, reconciling what the truth used to be with what the truth is now.

you’re an idealist and a romantic, and you have a beautiful soul.

i wish the world was ready to be the way you see it.

i wish that the rest of the people on earth with us were capable of living up to your expectations. but they aren’t.

the world is ugly, and no one wants to give anyone the benefit of the doubt about anything.

i love you too much to let you live only for me.

i’m cynical and i’m bossy, and most people would consider me vaguely immoral.

i spent half my time loving her and the other half hiding how much i loved her.

it shouldn’t be wrong, to love you. how can it be wrong?

i think being yourself—your true, entire self—is always going to feel like you’re swimming upstream.

you could be a nobody living in a cardboard box, and i’d still love you.

i simply didn’t care. it cost so much, caring. i didn’t have any currency to spend on it.

some marriages aren’t really that great. some loves aren’t all-encompassing.

the media are going to tell whatever story they want to tell. they always have. they always will.

charisma is charm that inspires devotion.

you’re not really famous if anybody still likes you.

you should know this about the rich: they always want to get richer. it is never boring, getting your hands on more money.

the truth is, praise is just like an addiction. the more you get it, the more of it you need just to stay even.

you have to push people’s boundaries and not feel bad about it. no one is going to give you anything if you don’t ask for it.

when you’ve been bested, sometimes it’s good to recognize it and move on.

no one goes around throwing caution to the wind unless the wind is blowing their way.

the easiest lie to tell is one you know the other person desperately wants to be true.

pictures speak very loudly. in general, we can almost never shake what we see with our eyes.

we all can’t go around treating people like dog shit and then expecting that a simple i’m sorry erases it.

guilt is a feeling i’ve never made much peace with. i find that when it rears its head, it brings an army.

when i feel guilty for one thing, i start to see all the other things i should feel guilty for.

accepting that something is true isn’t the same as thinking that it is just.

“ there – you see? you’ve got it already…  ”    she did not pretend to know much of the young woman’s history. but some rumors were unavoidable. and in the circles she travelled in, there was often a whiff of scandal to be found if one wished to find it. often, even if one did not wish it…“  well. whatever the case may be, you’ve nothing to fear from me. a tiresome thing, gossip. especially when it’s about oneself…  ” 

Iola knew the singer by reputation alone, mostly stories about the parties she hosted. And while she’d never had the pleasure of meeting her before she'd seen her perform several times and was, honestly, a little star struck at the moment. Not that she'd show it. "Almost a revolutionary sentiment these days," she learnt quickly that most of her acquaintances could not be trusted with even the tamest secret.

& being in love with you without being with you was a punishment I seemed to have to live with

D C de Oliveira from Melancholia “Seventeen”  September 02 2021, 12:0pm . Thursday (via memoryslandscape)

gazaelle​:

dorcas  was  nowhere  near  as  optimistic  as  the  other  seemed  to  be.      not  a  pessimist  by  any  stretch,      but  an  avid  realist  who  wasn’t  ashamed  to  express  exactly  how  that  reality  seemed  to  be.        so  the  sight  of  one  speaking  to  the  sky,     preaching  a  type  of  respect  for  days  she  no  longer  found  to  be  a  blessing,     wasn’t  going  to  go  down  too  well.       “   unexpected  isn’t  always  good.     especially  not  now.   ”

Iola was not so in love with the feel of the sun or memories of her mother that she was blind to the reality she spoke of. She’d have to be an idiot to be unaware but it doesn’t stop her from scowling at the other as her mood drops. "All is already lost if we can't enjoy the small moments." It's a little petty to say, she couldn't imagine going through what Dorcas did, nor is it entirely true yet she doesn't stop herself from speaking.

‘the viscount who loved me’ prompts

really just some of my favourite quotes and situations. all pronouns have been changed to they/them so they can apply to anyone but feel free to change them again when you send them.

DIALOGUE

“ The colour yellow makes [name] look like a singed daffodil. ”

“ I won’t offer you a penny for your thoughts, since I know they can’t possibly be worth that much, but what are you thinking? ”

“ It counts for a lot. And you are my [relation]. In every way that matters. ”

“ A husband can break a heart with greater intensity than a mere suitor. ”

“ Oh, yes, I know the secret language of corgis. ”

“ I’m sorry, [name]. I didn’t mean to tease. ”

“ I wasn’t - well, all right, I was, but did you see them? They’re shameless. ”

“ We don’t like each other, that much is true, but I do respect you in an odd, perverted sort of way. ”

“ I promised [name] I would be on my best behaviour. ”

“ I suspect you’ll fit right in with the rest of us schemers and cheaters. ”

“ What am I not going to do to you might be a more appropriate question. ”

“ This has to be the most self-centred thing I’ve ever said, but no, I think you just wanted to vex me. ”

“ Do you still hate me? ”

“ I do hate a bully, don’t you? ”

“ He was… he was… He was a hero. ”

“ I’m sure I sound insufferably optimistic, but I think there must be some master plan in life. ”

“ It can often be most difficult to share one’s fears with those one most deeply loves. ”

“ Right here, right now, in this moment, in this garden, you’re perfect.”

“ It was obvious to me that they were smitten. I do not know why no one else saw it.”

“ Tell me. Tell me how to make it right. ”

“ Listen to me and listen well, because I’m only going to say this once. I desire you. I burn for you. I can’t sleep at night for wanting you. ”

“ I do think [name] might be in love. ”

“ I love you, [name]. It took me a while to figure it out, but I do, and I had to tell you. Today. ”
