When I die, bury me with a headstone etched with cryptic text that HEAVILY implies my grave is cursed or that I’m a vampire. Just to give future generations something to have fun with, you know?

I am troubled and harsh and hopeless. Though I have love inside me. But I don’t know how to use love. Sometimes it scratches like barbs.

Clarice Lispector, tr. by Elizabeth Lowe, from Água Viva / The Stream of Life (via violentwavesofemotion)

     “ The princess with a crown of thorns is cold in her beauty, and her lips stay pursed no matter how many musicians touch them with shaking fingers.        ‘I know why you are silent. There’s a bird in your throat,’ a man with broken hands whispers against the hollow of her neck, arms wrapped around her form like he’s a statue of marble and she’s the steel that keeps him standing.            She parts her lips to speak with harshness, but a gentle song is all that he can hear. It’s true that there’s a nest lodged between her ribs, where songbirds sing and cause her to choke down her vulgarity, so she keeps her teeth gritted and her words absent .”

It was a tried and true tradition, a faultless set of steps which demanded to be followed – speaking with Kristof would inevitably lead to frustration, which would inevitably lead to a tumult of conflicting emotions, a back and forth of epic proportions contained within a pristine porcelain package. The utterly prickling of frustration mingled with the lasting high of her act, the success of which had kept her high for days, leading her to find herself here,at a usual haunt. A barstool upon which she perched whenever she needed to calm the tumult and a familiar cocktail nursed between her lips, and Orla was comfortable, settled into the beginning of a night dedicated to emotional repression.

Emotional repression was the name of the game; she was a goddamn pro.

Surrounded by faceless bodies – and did it really matter? – Orla was most comfortable. To no one in particular, with a tip of the head back and a sharp rush of lime and vodka down the back of her throat, she let out a languid laugh, “Think I can make the whole bottledisappear?” Tossing raven curls over her shoulders, she wiped at the corners of her lips; thoroughly pleased with her own wit, sure, but in desperate need of something to disappear into.

“Or shall I read your fortune through the haze of booze? The future always seems clearer after a few drinks.”

mun-is-halfway-through-a-bottle-of-wine headcanon: orla went through a phase where she would tell people that she wanted to be the moon when she grew up. like, you know how there’s the stereotypical ‘i want to be a princess - no, i want to  be a vet - no, i want to be a princess again’ thing, but orla was convinced that somehow she could be the moon when she grew up. 

she still wants to be the moon, even though she’s a “grownup”. she says that she wants to be as omnipotent as the moon, and that she wants to be worshiped for being powerful enough to move the ocean itself. the moon holds the most magic of anything in the world, she says -- so, yes, she still wants to be the moon.
