âJust breathe with me and listen to my unspoken words.â
Aaaaaaaaand of course I end up with another Nuts and Dolts piece. lol. This was inspired by DECO*27âČs âTwo Breaths Walkingâ (Vocaloid). They recently uploaded a remastered version and the accompanying image instantly inspired this!

an underrated friendship
havenstraitorâ:
Leo was thankful to have at least some measure of control in the conversation as he prepared the tea. There was a hot plate on a nearby counter. It was easy to simply have it on hand and he was always happy to offer its use to anyone who visited. âThank you.â He says gently, trying to redirect things back to a less tense sense of normalcy. He quickly glances at the books that surrounded the office. He had read, reread, and all but memorized all of them over the years. He knew exactly where each one was and their titles by heart. âWell,â He begins with a small chuckle, âWhat good is a teacher who refuses to learn, himself?â Leo never really cared for academics. They were always so insufferably self-important and insisted on being âexpertsâ in whatever fields they lead in. As a man who knew too much and wished he hadnât, he had little patience for anyone who insisted they already knew everything there was to understand.
âA bad one?â The question leaves her lips in the tone of a student that wasnât quite sure of the question theyâd been singled out to answer in class. It made sense. It even felt like the sort of thing that her father would believe. However, she couldnât deny that there were times where it felt like people like General Ironwood and Winter knew everything there was to know. Like, when learning from them, she was tapping into a source of knowledge that was complete, and the likes of which sheâd never be able to reach.Â
Though...maybe that was more...
She reached out, taking a book from the table and turning it over in gloved hands. Ever curious. Childish, almost, in her constant hunger to know and learn and discover.Â
âWith so many books, you must know a lot!âÂ

âŠhow many times has Penny been destroyed? Pietro doesnât give a number, and he says âevery time she comes backâ which suggests that⊠she had already been destroyed BEFORE Beacon?
How DID they determine she was finally combat ready
You just had to use her phrase, didnât you.
Everyone⊠Protect Penny. Keep her safe. Sheâs too precious for this.
RICHARD SIKEN SENTENCE STARTERS [EXTENDED]
â So I really liked the original meme here, so much that I ended up buying the poetâs book Crush to read.Â
Inspiration hit and here are 79 lines, categorized by poem. Feel free to change pronouns and any names!
SCHEHERAZADE
âTell me about the dream where we pull the bodies out of the lake and dress them in warm clothes again.â âLook at the light through the windowpane. That means itâs noon, that means weâre inconsolable.â âTell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us.â âTell me weâll never get used to it.â
DIRTY VALENTINE
âThereâs a part in the movie where you can see right through the acting, where you can tell that Iâm about to burst into tears.â âI swallow your heart and it crawls right out of my mouth.â âYou swallow my heart and flee, but I want it back now, baby. I want it back.â âIâm sorry. We know how it works. The world is no longer mysterious.â
LITTLE BEAST
âI like him and I want to be like him, my hands no longer an afterthought.â âSomeone once told me than explaining is an admission of failure.â âIâm sure you remember, I was on the phone with you, sweetheart.â âHistory repeats itself.â âThere are many names in history but none of them are ours.â âYou could drown in those eyes, I said.â âBut damn if there isnât anything sexier than a slender boy with a handgun, a fast car, a bottle of pills.â âWhat would you like? Iâd like my moneyâs worth.â âSorry about the blood in your mouth. I wish it was mine.â Â Â âI couldnât get the boy to kill me, but I wore his jacket for the longest time.â
SEASIDE IMPROVISATION
âTell me you love this, tell me youâre not miserable.â âYou do the math, you expect the trouble.â âDraw a circle with a piece of chalk. Imagine standing in a constant cone of light. Imagine surrender. Imagine being useless.â âA stone on the path means the teaâs not ready, a stone in the hand means somebodyâs angry.â âThe stone inside you still hasnât hit bottom.â
THE TORN-UP ROAD
âThere is no way to make this story interesting.â âI want to tell you this story without having to confess anything, without having to say that I ran out into the street to prove something.â âTell me weâre dead and Iâll love you even more.â âAnd he knew it wasnât going to be okay, and he told me it wasnât going to be okay.â âBut the minutes donât stop.â âAnd words, little words, words too small for any hope or promise, not really soothing but soothing nonetheless.â
LITANY IN WHICH CERTAIN THINGS ARE CROSSED OUT
âYou will be alone always and then you will die.â âSo maybe I wanted to give you something more than a catalog of non-definitive acts, something other than the desperation.â âIâm sorry I came to your party and seduced you and left you bruised and ruined, you poor sad thing.â âYou want a better story. Who wouldnât?â âI can tell you already think Iâm the dragon, that would be so like me, but Iâm not. Iâm not the dragon. Iâm not the princess either.â âWho am I? Iâm just a writer. I write things down. I walk through your dreams and invent the future.â âAnd yes, I swallow glass, but that comes later.â âShut up. Iâm getting to it.â âFor a while I thought I was the dragon.â âOkay, so Iâm the dragon. Big deal.â âYou still get to be the hero.â âWhat more do you want?â âAre you there, sweetheart? Do you know me?â âHere is the repeated image of the lover destroyed.â âThere is something underneath the floorboards.â âI arrived in the city and you met me at the station, smiling in a way that made me frightened.â âThis doesnât look that much different from home.â âLove, for you, is more than the usual romantic love. Itâs like a religion. Itâs terrifying.â âOkay, if youâre so great, you do itââ âUnfortunately, we donât have that kind of time.â âI have told you where Iâm coming from, so put it together.â âWhen I say this, it should mean laughter, not poison.â
A PRIMER FOR THE SMALL WEIRD LOVES
âAnd you know that a boy who likes boys is a dead boy, unless he keeps his mouth shut, which is what you didnât do.â âBecause you are weak and hollow and it doesnât matter anymore.â âAnd the boy who loves you the wrong way is filthy.â
UNFINISHED DUET
âHe wants to be tender and merciful.â âHe meaning you.â âDo you love yourself?â âI donât have to answer that.â âIt should matter.â
I HAD A DREAM ABOUT YOU
âI donât think I can take this much longer.â âIn the dream I donât tell anyone, you put your head in my lap.â âIn these dreams itâs always you: the boy in the sweatshirt, the boy on the bridge, the boy who always keeps me from jumping off the bridge.â âOh, the things we invent when we are scared and want to be rescued.â âI borrowed your shoes and didnât put them away.â âYou didnât show up. I kept waiting.â
STRAW HOUSE, STRAW DOG
âYou have a cold cold smile.â âWatch me, just watch me.â âI swallowed crushed ice pretending it was glass.â âI donât really blame you for being dead but you canât have your sweater back.â âYou can sleep now, you said. You said that. I had a dream where you said that. Thanks for saying that. You werenât supposed to.â
PLANET OF LOVE
âAnd you play along, because you want to die for love, you always have.â
WISHBONE
âYou saved my life. I owe you, I owe you everything.â âLetâs not talk about it, letâs just not talk.â âDonât bother. You never mean it anyway, not really, and it only makes me that much more ashamed.â âPlease, for just one night, will you lie down next to me, we can leave our clothes on, we can stay all buttoned upâŠâ âDo you see what I mean? Do you see what Iâm getting at?â âIf you love me, _____ , you donât love me in a way I understand.â âDo you want to go home now?â
