PEER INTO MY MUSE’S MEMORIES [x]

❣- A memory that leaves them laughing

    being native to london, alex never saw much snow growing up. it snowed every year, sure, but merely a fraction of an inch that turned into sad, grey slush just as soon as it came. when he was thirteen years old, his longstanding wish came true: it snowed, and it snowed a lot. 

    looking back on it, it was probably only about four inches of snow total but to alex? it was a blizzard. as soon as he peered out the window upon waking up, he was running to alert his older brothers to the wonder that was occurring outside. in a hasty bout of excitement, the three of them pulled on their warmest clothes and charged the backyard for a snowball fight.

    in the midst of their epic battle for the backyard throne — which, in reality, was merely a lawn chair — jack sent a snowball, which isn’t even a fitting name because it had ice in it, sailing right through the glass of the kitchen window. all three boys got scolded, but remembering how petrified jack looked when the glass shattered always makes alex laugh a little more than he probably should.

MUSE HEADCANONS! [x]

✿: what my muse would like to do when they’re older 

    alex has trouble imagining a life that is vastly different than his own. he does not dream of being a rich, polished businessman. nor he does not dream of being a cunning, clever politician. instead, he merely hopes that he will be able to return to work as a house-painter after the war has ended. it pays well and he somewhat enjoys it, so he plans to continue the work until something better comes along. 

    in terms of plans outside of work, alex hopes to be able to buy a home in a quaint neighborhood when he’s a bit older. when he imagines the house, he puts added emphasis on the dog bone laying on the carpet and how the bed-sheets are slept in on both sides. ultimately, he hopes to one day come to terms with everything he has been through and live a quiet life with someone he loves dearly.

☺: something that makes my muse happy

MUSE HEADCANONS! [x]

    alex wouldn’t ever consider himself much of a morning person, but there’s something about being awake before the rest of the world that really seems to put him at peace. at home, he would sometimes get up just after the sun rises to go out for a walk. the dewy grass and warm morning sun never failed to pull on the corners of his lips and put him in a better mood for the rest of the day. there’s something vastly overrated about the way the world sounds as it’s just waking up.

“you are allowed to feel messed up. it doesn’t mean you’re defective – it just means you’re human.”

MOVIE SENTENCE STARTER  [x]

   in a rare moment of weakness, alex found himself searching the man’s eyes for some sort of answer, some cosmic solution that would ease the rough sea of his soul. he hadn’t meant to open his mouth but in a situation not unfamiliar to the soldier, he had said too much before his brain had managed to catch up and stop him.

   as soon as the words left his lips, he felt vulnerable. talking so candidly about subjects that kept alex up at night felt strange. foreign. these were the things he kept bottled up close to his heart in fear of spilling the contents somewhere that would be too risky to clean up. these were the things that ate at him. that clawed at him every single day, making him wonder why a merciful god would let these things even happen to begin with.

  he blinked at the other soldier. if this were any other situation, he would have a biting comment rolling off of his silver tongue already but this was not any other situation and his silver tongue had turned to lead. he let the man’s words echo in his mind before he simply hummed and turned his head away. he was already vulnerable, but the other man could not know that he was weak.

    “i suppose so.” he said, voice like a brick wall, “makes sense, i guess.”
