🌌 ~ Mun Talk ~ 🌌

After debating a bit I have decided to move Cosmos over onto my main multi since it seems I just can’t seem to pull my focus over to here much after all. Hope to see you guys over there!

[princepsscientiam]

A scroll hovered nearby with silver magic holding it in place as Cosmos looked about the former balloon station. He remembered this place once being so active, yet after the incident which separated the three pony kinds once more well, there really was no need for a place like this anymore. Regardless, there was still so much history here. All of which, he wasn’t about to let be lost forever.

Wings ruffle under the cloak he still wore as his attention is turned by the sound of mechanics moving about in order to lower down a basket. Within said basket was apparently a pegasus. Well, so much for his hopes of not being discovered. A light sigh leaves the alicorn as the scroll is rolled up then tucked away into the bag he wore on his side. “I gather by your current expression that visitors aren’t exactly common around here.” Cosmos notes, sarcasm bluntly obvious as his unhooded head tilts slightly.

Wanna get something rolling round here so why not hit the ♥ over there to get a likely small starter? Feel free to specify verse if you’d like otherwise I might just randomize it! Also, multis are free to specify muse on their end for the starter or I’ll pick at random/leave it open!

“  it’s not something i usually talk about,  because it’s not something most people can understand.  ” 

“  i don’t need to be understood.  i just want to be accepted.  ”

“  the harder you fight against the paths life puts you on,  the steeper the climb becomes,  the worse the falls.  ”

“  i’ve always been honest about what sort of person i am.  there’s few indignities worse than lying to oneself.  ”

“  the sooner you accept what you are,  the sooner you can embrace the strengths that come with it.  ”

“  i find there are two sorts of people.  those who talk too much and think too little.  and those with too many thoughts and not enough words.  ”  

“  it’s not so much that letting someone know who i really am scares me.  it just seems tedious to spend all that time pulling back the layers and asking to be understood,  when there’s that chance they’ll leave anyway.  ”

“  i don’t like how you looked at me then.  i don’t ever want to see that in your eyes again when i’m reflected in them.  ”

“  there’s a lot of people in this world just existing.  going from one thing to the next in an endless cycle until they die.  ”  

“  it’s not shallow confidence when i tell you i’m not the sort of person you want to go making an enemy out of.  trust my experience.  careful how you tread. ”  

“  i can’t walk this path with you.  but i can be there when you reach the end of it.  ”

“  you want to tell me something—  i can see it.  so you might as well speak.  ”  

“  the unfortunate truth is,  i think i’d forgive any flaw in a person if they loved me enough.  ” 

“  is there really nothing i could do that would scare you away from me?  ”

“  why did you think i wouldn’t notice you?  ”

“  why didn’t you come to me for help?  why wouldn’t i have helped?  ” 

“  do you think my love for you is so little that you hurting me would make a difference in showing up when you need me?  ”

“  what was that— you got this look in your eyes just now and then pushed it back down.  tell me what you were thinking.  ”

“  i don’t need anything from you.  i’m here because i want to be.  ”

“  i won’t reject your help.  but you must know none of this will be easy.  ”

“  i’m already involved.  so tell me the truth.  and let us figure it out together.  ”

“  don’t you try and treat me like i’m just anyone else in a crowded room.  i know you.  ”  

“  you swallow your words and bury your thoughts so often.  i would love to see the day it all comes barreling out.  ”

“  i think there’s more inside you than everyone else would believe.  and i think that’s how you want it.  you like to be underestimated.  ”

“  i find comfort in being misunderstood.  ”

“  one day,  you’re going to snap.  and i would pay millions to be there to see it.  ”

“  what i wouldn’t give to know all the secrets hiding behind those eyes.  ”

“  love is a knife.  we either cut ourselves in the process of falling,  or slice the arteries of the one we adore.  ” 

“  nothing is worth your self destruction.  ”

Me? Still alive? More likely than you think! I’ve just had a serious case of lack of motivation to be over here. That, and I’ve been focusing more on my new multi lately as well as my main. But, I am feeling this muse poke around again sooooo here I be! Granted I will note this blog will still continue to be very low/sporadic activity but eh.

[princepsscientiam]

I need to get more stuff going around here so...maybe hit the ♥ there for a small starter? If you be a multi feel free to specify if you would like the starter for a certain muse otherwise it’ll be random or I’ll just leave it open.

“Pysically, that may be true. However if I am to judge correctly you would be speaking in the vain of the emotional sense. In which case, I’m sure many others would say differently. Myself included.” Came the rather blunt reply as the prince glances towards the princess. She did not know him well enough to know, then again not even his own sisters knew.

Thus, wasn’t as though he could blame her really, but even he was fully aware of the issues he had.

I keep saying I’ll do what I owe round here then never do…I think it might be a small lack of motivation, so let’s see if this helps with that! Hit the ♥ over there if you would like me to pop by your IMs/Discord (for the mutuals of mine who have it) in order to plot a thing or two with you!

@alicornae​ sent: ❝ Well it was going to be a surprise but since you asked… ❞

A brow raises slightly as Cosmos’ head tilts just a bit. “You tone indicates that I should likely be worried about what it to follow those words.” He notes, clearly not trusting his sister in the slightest. To be fair he didn’t really trust either of his sister’s much, for different reasons but of the two Celestia was the least trusted. Who knows what she could be plotting after all.

Granted he could be mistaken but that didn’t mean he was going to let his guard fall so easily. “However, I shall reserve my full judgement on the matter until whatever this surprise is, is revealed.” Wings shift just a bit as the former prince straightens his head again. Whatever this surprise was best be worth his time if it were to be something he needn’t be weary of.
