GERALT OF RIVIA The Witcher → “Rare Species”

[lastkingoflucis]

PSA

I am… not a chronologically locked rp blog.

That means that if you talk to me to establish that we want to ship our muses, or have a particular relationship or type of report between them, I am 1: totally okay with multiple threads of varying length and styles with you and 2: will probably jump around in the supposed ‘timeline’ of our muses relationships in order to keep things interesting/ make ask prompts work.

For example, we may be writing an intro thread with our muses, but if you wanna send me a thing for like… a first kiss that may happen months down the line (and shipping is what ur up for) go ahead and do it! The way I see it, separate points on a timeline are FUN to RP because then you can look back later and figure out how they connected/ try to work in little details that make them flow together.

Sentence starters inspired by Netflix's Barbarians (2020).

Should I stab him for you?

In half a moon, I'll return for her.

I'd rather drink piss.

No blood shall be spilled when we meet.

Call me a sex slave once more and I'll cut your balls off.

The Romans will be good to our sons.

Like a toothless whore trying to recite poetry.

Only the gods can sentence a man to death.

You're still lousy with a spear.

Rome will be your mother now, and your father.

What are we if we can't even give our dead a decent burial?

It's a place of the dead, nobody should be there.

I love treason, but I hate a traitor.

Where death is, life will come.

How could the truth be any different?

I've never seen a force like that.

The father of the gods has seen what's coming.

Roman gold will be your prize.

I hear a song about your bravery.

The world will forever know of our victory.

Everything I know about fighting, I know from you.

What do we fight for?

The crucial point is that we can only win if we're in complete control of our feelings.

Whatever we're fighting for, we pay the price in blood.

We all must die. The guilty and the innocent.

Your impregnable armor became your biggest burden.

Your biggest weakness was your trust in me.

What were you fighting for, and was it worth it?

You never understood that some wanted to live differently than you.

We barbarians have to stick together.

You want your father's love so much you'll believe anything, do anything.

I thought you were dead.

And I bet that was convenient for you.

You're the only one I can rely on.

If, and when, you end up ruling, I'll be the first to kill you.

The gods have their own special ways of punishing us.

PIERCE THE VEIL SENTENCE PROMPTS. 

everyone is watching you. 

told you why i see no need for the sun.

a love you light is a love soon gone.

don’t bother cause this love is a lie.

and if there’s a god, then i’m letting him go.

what a shame i heard the understudy died under the knife.

i don’t think you’ll ever want to love me.

sober up and bury the empty cup.

the moment you’ve all been waiting for.

tonight, join us as we explore the spine-chilling mystery of death.

please understand me when i’d rather see you dead.

beyond the sea blue light, i met the love of my life.

she’d rather see me dead than face me.

for you i’d count the salt under the sea.

wake me up and let me know you’re alive.

how do you know how deep to go before it’s real?

can i even complicate your breathing?

i guess i’m just your average boy. 

i guess i’m never comfortable or situational. 

she could make hell feel just like home. 

keep talking ‘cause i love to hear your voice. 

call the police! the whole place is gonna burn.

it’s getting dark, we should go back.

and i could die right now for something beautiful to take me somewhere else.

our lungs are begging us to calm down.

can we lose our minds and call it love for the last time?

is something still scaring you?

have you ever really danced on the edge?

you know the only real way to cure pain is to add a little more.

i told myself i’m tired of holding up your backup plans. 

true love comes from more than just the heart.

it feels so early but i promised i would bring you to your door.

i hope you like the stars i stole for you.

i swear to god i did what i could.

i guess i never should have loved you.

sunshine, there ain’t a thing that you can do that’s gonna ruin my night.

you’ve decided there is so much more than me. 

hold my heart, it’s beating for you anyway. 

what’s so good about picking up the pieces? 

you know i can’t afford the medicine that feeds what i need. 

so, what if i can’t forget you? 

i was saving myself for you. 

i scream and wave my arms, but you don’t understand me. 

you hold my attention without even trying. 

somebody’s supposed to fall in love.

you’ll be excited just to see me someday. 

i’m hoping that god looks away this time. 

we used to laugh until we choked into the wasted nights. 

don’t wake me up, ‘cause my thrill is gone. 

i wanna hold your hand so tight i’m gonna break my wrist. 

by the time you’re hearing this i’ll already be gone. 

my love for you was bulletproof but you’re the one who shot me. 

god damn it, i can barely say your name. 

as you tie me to the bed for good i say that i want you in the most unromantic ways. 

you’re torturing me with a beautiful face. 

baby stay away from my friends. 

but now you only call me every christmas and my birthday. 

but you don’t know what it’s like to wake up in the middle of the night, scaring the thought of kissing razors. 

last night she recited every reason she’s fine. 

i’d do anything to hold your hand. 

kiss me while i drive. 

i’m gonna tear out the thread one by one from your skin ‘till your bones feel embarrassed by all the attention. 

can we create something beautiful and destroy it? 

i still remember the night you tried to kiss me through the window. 

and someday i’ll drive and close both my eyes. 

did you call me last night just cause you couldn’t get laid? 

do you think you’re the only one afraid? 

i cannot spend another night in this home. 

she tied a cherry stem for me with her tongue. 

i still think you’re beautiful and i don’t ever wanna lose my best friend.

i hate this flavor with a passion and i fucking hate the aftertaste. 

wake up, i know you can hear me.

make me a promise here tonight, love like a tidal wave. 

dare me to jump off of this jersey bridge?

i’m tired of begging for the things that i want. 

you make me sick. i make it worse by drinking late.

i don’t know where i’m going to sleep tonight. 

please, don’t take this out on me, ‘cause you’re the only thing that’s keeping me alive.

and if i mean anything to you, i’m sorry, but i’ve made up my mind. 

slow conversations with a gun mean more than i’ve ever said to anyone.

well, fuck, what am i supposed to be, impressed? 

i only said it ‘cause i know what it’s like to feel burned out.

You must know… surely, you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I’d scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love–I love–I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.

Pride & Prejudice (2005) dir. Joe Wright

Make me chose meme: @argentsxarrow asked Hairspray or Les Misérables?

Will the world remember you when you fall? Could it be your death means nothing at all? Is your life just one more lie?
