#RANDOM QUOTES ON TUMBLR  : (      some triggering content may be present !     change pronouns to suit.     )

do let us be tender with each other.

a darkness you’ll need to unravel.

for the first time in nearly a month, and everything changed.

at times like this, i’d call myself a fool to ask for more.

you have come so far, beloved, and for what?

i’m so infinitely used to you that i now feel myself lost and empty without you.

i would die for it.

i want to kiss you more than anything in the world.

the next time they meet, she’ll cry for a different reason.

nobody has the time to be vulnerable to each other.

reality is not entirely real to me.

anything to stir the memory.

i hope that still counts for something.

when it’s pain we’re talking about, i can describe it clearly: its exact location, temperature, movement; its length, depth, width…

why do they punish us?

you live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living.

with you in my heart i can bear everything.

i do exist, don’t i?

don’t you ever feel that way?

oh, is this your buried treasure?

i need you to hold me, touch me, bring me to the surface.

everything around me kept running until i too started running like crazy.

i loved hearing you talk.

this is a difficult way to live.

i love you still among these cold things.

what i need is for someone higher than myself to forgive me.

how was i fooled into thinking that what i had was mine?

yes, i thought, that’s how it should be.

often, love starts with some type of seduction.

in a way, you will always be my only refuge.

after all, the world is on my side.

make an amulet of your voice and i shall wear it.

i found myself in life so suddenly—where i least expected it.

this is an act of love.

how can you enjoy the world when you see it in wounded flight?

i have never felt so moved by an act of trust.

whatever happens, we’ll go on loving each other, won’t we?

in the end i would rather wonder than know.

poetry can change our hearts in an instant.

what can i give you that you can keep?

i just remembered that we die.

you could talk about things there you wouldn’t dream of talking about any other place.

so whatever we may lose, very craving gives it back to us again.

you were always very kind.

after thorough devastation, indescribable loss, people’s hearts still beat.

the world is so dreadful in many ways.

it is a great irony of my life that pain is what prompts me to discover how to feel.

i feel so tired looking for you, and still do you not come.

i feel dead.

is love the love of someone or the love of something?

this is a dangerous thing to say.

there is not a single path forward that’s painless.

the world is full of strangers.

why did i obsess over people like this?

it seems i overdid it.

i used to like that story for some reason.

i am going to make you love me.

as a child i did not realize that the life i was living was considered in any way provisional or experimental by others.

i’ve been speaking to you for years—have you understood?

pain also reminds me that i am a body, that i am in a body.

you are still with me.

let me tell you, dearest, with kisses rather than with words, how much i love you.

i am stitching

i have learned to be afraid of feeling.

i am always falling apart and back together again.

now i’m going to tell you everything.

i am not well.

but what i felt with you was different.

i was aware of a part of myself i’d never seen in a mirror or in anyone else’s eyes.

don’t you understand how one can be absolutely connected with somebody like that?

i may never be happy, but tonight i am content.

i love you because you are you.

i love you—and i can’t tell you how much.

there is an emptiness so huge we can’t tell if we are in it, or it in us.

you’ll listen to me, judge me, and forgive me.

i ask not out of sorrow, but in wonder.

the end justifies the means. but what if there never is an end? all we have is means.

it costs us blood and tears, but it’s worth the price.

h a r u :

Haru was looking through the racks to see if there were anyinteresting things to get inspiration from. As a person who loved to makecostumes, it was important to continue to grow your own portfolio of skills. “Hahi?You found something?” Haru looks up from a rack to see a pretty princess dressthat Chrome found, and was currently holding up to her. “Ohhh~ It is verypretty. If Haru would be a Queen, then Chrome-chan has to be one too. Maybe anempress of the night, kind of vibe.”

With that in mind, Haru sought out darker colors, whateverseemed to suit Chrome’s aesthetic. “It’s like having people with the opposite aestheticbeing the best of friends. Haru calls it poetic-desu.” She somehow thoughtthe idea cute to have opposite color palettes and styles being very close. Areal opposites attract kind of moment, but with the best of friends! “Ohhh whatabout this one? A more gothic look.” Haru pulls out a dark dress with spiderwebs and skulls to fit the Halloween-y season.

The dress is Chrome's hand was one that she thought suited Haru well: soft, pastel colors and sparkling accents. Still, she knew that the girl could have made one far nicer -- this was more to take inspiration from than anything else. And Haru's reaction seemed as if she had not chosen too poorly.

"Haru is more suited to be a Queen." The objection is half-hearted, knowing that there would be no discouraging Haru. Opposite aesthetic... that certainly did seem to describe the two of them. Haru was bright and pleasant, and Chrome found that she liked to play in the shadows. Still, Haru saw beneath all the layers of shyness and darkness to see who she was beneath it all. It was Haru's special power, Chrome had long ago decided: the ability to see the truth.

Her eye widens slightly at the dress tha Haru pulls out of the rack, a smile slowly blooming across her expression. Yes, Haru certainly understood her style. With a glance to be sure the two of them were the only ones in the corner of the store, the illusionist waves a hand over herself -- replacing their costume with fascimiles of the two dresses they had pulled for one another. "...Mm. I like it."

[missallaneousmuses]

He's harder to talk to than the others, and she can't say with any certainty as to why. Then again, it wasn't as if she had a particularly easy time talking to anyone. Still... in her silence, she removes one of the wrapped sweets from the bag in her hands and places it in front of him. A peace offering?

I have a lot of muse for the smol illusionist so hit the little heart for a short starter from CHROME DOKURO.

RUN THROUGH THIS GAME BEFORE MY BODY IS DRY - RWBY AU bio !!

Despite being born into a life of elegance and perfection in Atlas, the divorce of Ryuko's parents when she was only a child outlined what her future would look like. Her sister stayed in Atlas with their mother, while Ryuko and their father relocated to the desert of Vacuo. Being raised in Vacuo gave Ryuko a tough skin, and set her on the path of a fighter.

Now a teen, she's studying at Shade Academy to become a huntress. Her grades may be average, but her skills with a blade are strong. Her end goal? Being able to best her sister when next they see one another.

QUICK STATS: Name: Ryuko Matoi Age: 18 Citizenship: Atlesian Residence: Vacuo Occupation: Student at Shade Academy / Huntress-in-training Aura: Blood Red Semblance: When her blood is drawn, Ryuko has an increase in strength, speed, and stamina. Unfortunately, Ryuko has to drop her healing aura in order to use her semblance, so it's a dangerous balancing act. Weapon: A bizarrely shaped blade, created by her father, which has the capability of unfolding to double in size to that of a great sword.

A TALE OF LULLABIES AND STORIES TOLD - RWBY AU bio !!

Years before team RWBY entered Beacon, Riza was a highly skilled sniper working for the Atlesian military. Gifted with a semblance that makes her an incredible shot, she was well known for being brusque personally and deadly professionally. As Atlas began to become more of a police state, Riza deserted the military and abandoned the kingdom.

Now, she works as a huntress-for-hire throughout the kingdoms, one who rarely takes on jobs unless encouraged by her partner.

QUICK STATS: Name: Riza Hawkeye Age: Early thirties Citizenship: Atlesian Residence: Mistral Occupation: Huntress-for-hire Aura: Navy blue Semblance: Allows her to slow her heart rate, in turn slowing her breathing and steadying her hands to increase her accuracy. This can also make her near invisible to Grimm, but only for a short time. Weapon: A bolt action sniper rifle, along with a snub-nose pistol.

I KNOW I’M NOTHING MORE THAN A WANDERING GHOST - RWBY AU bio !!

Little is known of Chrome before her appearance at Haven Academy: her transcripts tell a story that she does not volunteer willingly, a childhood in the opulent city before she was lost to a Grimm attack. Yet here she stands, five years later, alive and well – the only evidence of her attack being the loss of an eye.

Now a student trying to succeed as a Huntress, Chrome wishes to protect the people she cares about from meeting the same sort of fate that she did.

QUICK STATS: Name: Chrome Dokuro Age: 18 Citizenship: Mistrali Residence: Mistral Occupation: Student of Haven Academy / Huntress-in-training Aura: Indigo Semblance: Di Nebbia, which allows her to create illusions visible to everyone. Their effectiveness is dictated by how much the seer actually believes them, however. A strong belief will make them practically solid, and a strong disbelief will allow you to walk through them like mist. Weapon: Cambio Forma, a three-pronged trident. Acts as a focus for her Semblance.

a possessed illusionist; a lunar cat; a vampire; a military dog; a space pirate; a synthetic humanoid.

                        ind. sel. pri. animated multimuse. loved by missa. sporadic activity.

[missallaneousmuses]

Browsing through the racks of premade Halloween costumes, Chrome found her mind not wandering as much as it would should she have been shopping alone. When she was alone, her mind tended to drift to places it shouldn't go, things that were too difficult to think about. Haru was... eccentric, yes, and often hyperactive. But she was calming. Something about her was able to keep the younger girl grounded in reality.

"Ah, what about this?" A princess dress is pulled from the rack, held up in front of Haru as if to get a better picture for how the girl would look in the dress. Although, she knew for a fact Haru was far more likely to make her own costume, it was still fun to peruse with her. "Haru could be a queen."

but what if I also used my multimuse instead of pretending it doesn't exist? that would be cool.

anyway, consider this a starter call. If you don't specify a muse, you get russian roulette and i pick.

rebuilding my playlists after my laptop died on me and now I'm back on my bullshit. thinking about Chrome. thinking about how no one in the future arc wanted to tell Tsuna that Chrome had clearly betrayed the Vongola. and how he had so much relief at seeing that she was alive and okay and how she's just one of his friends and he cares about her and her betraying them never even crossed his mind.

it would absolutely break the Chrome of the future to see it.

anyway we never got to see TYL Chrome and it's been like 10 years and I'm still bitter about it.
