❝ —– with every SECOND that went past, with every sentence she spoke, she felt a little strength flowing back. and now that she was doing something difficult and familiar and never quite predictable, namely lying, she felt a sort of MASTERY again, the same sense of complexity and control that the alethiometer gave her. she had to be careful not to say anything obviously impossible; she had to be vague in some places and invent plausible details in others; she had to be an ARTIST, in short. ❞   ( x )

❝ … and when you look at the sky you know you are looking at STARS which are hundreds and thousands of light-years away from you. and some of the stars don’t even exist anymore because their light has taken so long to get to us that they are already dead, or they have EXPLODED and collapsed into red dwarfs. and that makes you seem very small, and if you have difficult things in you life it is nice to think that they are what is called negligible, which means they are so small YOU don’t have to take them into account when you are calculating something. ❞ – mark haddon  ( x )

I hate when people say “survivor”.

Because “survivor” means that you made it out

And I don’t think all of me did.

              &&. WOO!! GUYS !! I AM FINALLY BACK!! my laptop has finally been fixed, and i have all my icons and things. it’s such a relief i can’t even explain!! i will be sorting through my drafts to see what i still have muse for and perhaps dropping some threads, but if you’d like a STARTER then just like this post and i’ll throw something at you – this is open to anyone, regardless of whether we have interacted before or not, but mutuals will have first priority.

meme: send me a ❤ and I’ll randomly compliment someone.status: last one for now.

 i was pretty bummed that we didn’t get to see as much of hope, as i would have liked, and she was taken from us before we really had a chance to get to know her. but @neverasgood more that makes up for that in her portrayal. the thing is about minor characters, that while you have the liberty to make them your own, you still have to make your characterization believable, and where it could fit into canon. and this hope is so fleshed out, and so driven, and so developed from what we have in canon, and the writer’s own interpretation, that you’d think it was melissa herself writing her. and honestly, it’s made me pay more attention to and care about hope so much more as i rewatch.

Listen to me, your body is not a temple. Temples can be destroyed and desecrated. Your body is a forest—thick canopies of maple trees and sweet scented wildflowers sprouting in the under wood. You will grow back, over and over, no matter how badly you are devastated.

I keep remembering — I keep remembering. My heart has no pity on me.

Henri Barbusse , The Inferno 

[skeezd]

[inherentgrief]

marooned within grief’s walls of red, SURROUNDED by a loss that was not hers to embody. a child of a horrific legend – victim born out of time – undeserving of the pity laid upon her. unable to tell if she was BROKEN or whole or something in-between; sometimes the causalities of wars inside the mind get up to die another day. by day she felt like every other LOST GIRL. she could smile with every single one of her teeth and a few MORE. she would laugh like she had fires crackling in her throat. fractures of the soul don’t show up on x-rays. cracks cover themselves with tissue paper MEMORIES. bruises on the heart never turn a mottled black and blue. not all wounds bleed red. in a world of so many temporary agonies – death is a true permanent. you cannot heal from scars that are not your OWN.
