ANGELIC.

[puritates]

you're not like that.

Prompts from Hercules

"Not... not like what?"

The words were spoken so casually, so evenly over the rim of his teacup that for a moment they didn't register in her mind. Emerald green eyes flicked up to try and catch his gaze, to try and decipher why the spider had decided now he was going to prod at soft spots best left unmentioned.

Then, a soft sigh.

"You know me better than I know myself these days, it seems. I don't know who it is I should be, anymore. What am 'I' really like?"

There was some peace in being his candor. What point was there in trying to deny anything, to bury her thoughts and feelings below what she should be in the face of someone who really, truly, couldn't care less.

"What if I am like this? What if this is all that's left of me? Lord Trancy — Alois, I am so... tired."

[puritates]

“I prefer watching from the sidelines to participating.”

Masquerade Ball Starters

"Nonsense, you darling boy! If you've come this far, you simply must dance!"

The ballroom was a glittering assembly of the nobility and the gentry. The masks, the music, the DRESSES. Elizabeth was well and truly in her element. Curious onlookers were treated to an odd sight, as a masked young lady bedecked in ruffles, bows, and lace was all but shoving a masked young man onto the dance floor.

His protests and reasonings were hardly even a passing thought to her as she brought him closer and closer to the throng of waltzing strangers. Trying to stop her was not unlike trying to halt a train, as she streamrolled over her poor fiancé.

"Now, hand on my waist! We simply must show everyone what a lovely couple we are, and how adorable we look!"

🎭 Masquerade Ball Starters 🎭

“Did you really think hiding your cheek bones was going to fool anyone?” “Do I…know you?” “Have we met before?” “Are you sure I don’t know you?” “Your eyes are absolutely captivating.” “I don’t think we’ve met yet.” “May I have this dance?” “You look positively enchanting this evening.” “I’d know those dazzling eyes anywhere.” “These skirts make it so hard to move.” “Some of these costumes are so extravagant. They must have cost a fortune.” “You look quite ravishing in that dress.” “You look quite handsome in that suit.” “Can I see your face?” “I don’t think you want to see my face.” “My God, you could fit an entire circus under her pannier. How’d she even fit through the door?” “Champagne?” “My feet are killing me.” “I never thought I’d see you in something so fancy.” “I feel like I’m rubbing elbows with the queen right now.” “Care to sneak away with me? I doubt we will be missed.” “Can you guess who I am under here?” “I’d compliment your beauty, but I can’t see it under there. You’ll have to accept my compliments to your mask instead, it’s quite lovely.” “I can’t hear you through that mask. Did you really have to choose one that covers your mouth?” “Do you know who I am?” “Do you know who she is?” “Do you know who he is?” “You’re very light on your feet.” “Ow! It’s like you have two left feet.” “I’m a terrible dancer.” “Who cares if you’re a good dancer? Have fun! No one will know it’s you anyway!” “No one’s asked me to dance all night…” “I feel like I’m in a dream!” “Can we please go home? This is torture.” “How did I ever let you talk me into coming here?” “I prefer watching from the sidelines to participating.” “You’ve spent the entire evening at the snack table.” “Can I cut in?” “I have to go.” “I’m not supposed to be here. If they catch me I’m in trouble!” “Please. What is your name? I want to see you again.”

PROMPTS FROM HERCULES *  assorted dialogue from the 1997 film, adjust as necessary

what... are... those?

a true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the size of his heart.

i thought they looked kinda dashing.

you know how men are. they think no means yes and get lost means take me, i'm yours.

aren't you a damsel in distress?

i need your help.

i can handle this. have a nice day.

all i know is, you're the most amazing person with weak ankles i've ever met.

when i'm with you, i don't feel so... alone.

sometimes it's better to be alone. nobody can hurt you.

he's not gonna be happy when he gets outta there.

you know, when i was a kid, i would have given anything to be exactly like everybody else.

you're not like that.

if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.

how do you know what i'm like?

fine work, my boy!

you've done it! you're a true hero.

you were willing to give your life to rescue this young woman.

look, it wasn't my fault.

why does that name ring a bell?

you finally made it.

you know, a little dark, a little gloomy. and, as always, hey, full of dead people. what are you gonna do?

my friends call me [name]. at least, they would if i had any friends.

[name], why did you... you didn't have to...

people do crazy things when they're in love.

will you forget the head-slicing thing?

don't be such a stiff.

join the celebration!

can't. love to, but can't.

i'm a big tough girl. i tie my own sandals and everything.

i'm sorry. you mind running that by me again?

read my lips. forget it.

of course he's real.

i'm afraid being famous isn't the same as being a true hero.

look inside your heart.

looks like your game's over.

don't even go there.

i've done my part.

i need somebody who can handle him as a man.

look, i learned my lesson, okay?

is there a downside to this?

thanks for everything. it's been a real slice.

lighten up, dude.

we'll take it from here, darling.

you can't do this to me, you can't...

dreams are for rookies.

a guy can only take so much disappointment.

are you always this articulate?

you ought to slow down.

how sentimental.

pardon me. it seems to me that what you folks need is a hero.

how do you kill a god?

i don't care. i'm not going to help you hurt him.

this one is different.

the point is, i love her.

we were so close.

it was tragic. we lost everything in the fire.

you might feel just a little queasy. it's kinda natural.

it looks better that way.

he won't listen to me.

i know what i did was wrong, but this isn't about me. it's about him. if you don't help him now, he'll die.

use your head!

"Where is everybody? How come no one came to greet me and be excited for my arrival, something is wrong."

[puritates]

"I'm here, Uncle! Where have you been — have you seen anything interesting? Do you have any stories or souvenirs? Tell me, tell me!" The little girl hopped around his legs, hands eagerly opening and closing in a grabby-hands gesture.

Simone de Beauvoir, Letters to Sartre

[puritates]

Every now and then, I get tempted to make blogs for non-Kuro muses. But I have a hard enough time just keeping Lizzie going, and the last blogs I had for other media fully died. My Corrin blog, my Elgar'nan, Link... Lizzie is the only blog that's survived this long...

But then TWST or ToV pops up as recommended blogs, and I feel the Urge™. Or whenever I think about The Arcana... I'm still tossing around the idea of making a sideblog for my kuroshit fankid, but I would keep that as a sideblog because I'm aware of how little interest there would be. idk... random peach ponderings

Interview With The Vampire Starters

"Who in the world knows me better than you?"

The sentence burned something vicious on her tongue. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't keep her fingers from flinching, and gave into the urge to ball them into fists in her lap. He was concerned for her; she knew it. The warmth in his gaze hadn't faded, even if the steadiness of it made her feel pinned. Cornered.

The care in his questioning made it all the harder to lie, to keep the edge from her voice as she stitched a grin to her face that made her chest feel hollowed out. How could he know her, understand her anymore, when she felt a stranger to herself?

"Really, brother. I am simply fascinated with the music hall! Mr. Blavat's mysticisms are so breathtaking! It's perfectly safe, I swear it."

She extended one of her hands to lay over his own and gave a comforting squeeze. Maybe one kernel of truth among all her lies would make the acidic burn more bearable. She had to believe that all of this pain would be worth it.

"I will tell you everything, in time. Believe that for me, please."

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE SEASON ONE SENTENCE STARTERS (PART TWO)

episodes: s01e05 - s01e07

❛ I'm trying to think of something more fucked up than this. ❜

❛ Stay out of my head. ❜

❛ I care for him more than he cares for himself. ❜

❛ A whole lot of concern's been wasted on you these past months. ❜

❛ Where are the bodies? ❜

❛ Well, then, I guess you better hope and pray you taught me how to clean up good. ❜

❛ You gonna let him do this to me? ❜

❛I'm never gonna forget what happened here. I hate you both. ❜

❛ Sounds like there's a maniac on the loose. ❜

❛ So much wine in his blood. And beer and whisky. ❜

❛ Happy? We were not happy. ❜

❛ Who am I supposed to love? ❜

❛ Why can't I make one? No matter how much blood I give them, they just lie there gaspin'. ❜

❛ What is this? Look at me. What have you done? ❜

❛ If you could find them, which you won't, they would shred you to strips, because you are built like a bird - because you are a mistake. ❜

❛ He treats us like shit and you take it! Why is that? ❜

❛ Been following you. You ain't been your careful self. ❜

❛ Don't... Don't run off. ❜

❛ Poor dear. She wasn't held enough in between ritualistic murders. ❜

❛ Once you put it out there, they decide what it is. It can get away from you. ❜

❛ Assume we are under suspicion. ❜

❛ We should leave the city, start anew. ❜

❛ Should I do like you instead? Read the first pages of every book, pass myself off as cultured? ❜

❛ You draw me into your gloom. ❜

❛ So, quick stop home to do laundry before you fuck off for good. ❜

❛ If what I've read is lies, then tell me what's true. ❜

❛ The vampires out there are vicious. Oh...but you've learned that already. ❜

❛ Come with me!  I thought I could live without you, but I was wrong. ❜

❛ His love is a small box he keeps you in. Don't stay in it. ❜

❛ I fought myself a million times, fought my nature, controlled my temper. I never once harmed you. ❜

❛ Let him go. It's me you want. ❜

❛ Listen to me, and listen very carefully, my infant death. It was never you. ❜

❛ I have patiently waited in vain for you to love me... as I love you. ❜

❛ Just say it. Say, "I am never going to love you". It would help me a great deal to hear that from your lips...your quivering...hateful lips. ❜

❛ Excruciating pain was the proof I was still alive. ❜

❛ You know he's a vampire, right? ❜

❛ NDAs signed by any and all who cross the threshold, eh? ❜

❛ Are you still dreaming about our first meeting? ❜

❛ Are we the sum of our worst moments? Can we be forgiven if we do not forgive others ourselves? ❜

❛ You gonna be my knight in vengeful black? ❜

❛ Save your charity for the needful. ❜

❛ I was someone I don't want to be anymore. I've changed. Let me prove it to you. I'm nothing without you. ❜

❛ If you want me to go away, just say so. I'll obey you. I'll leave your life forever. ❜

❛ This silence is cruel. And you were never cruel. ❜

❛ Write me a song and put your lover's voice on it? What the fuck is wrong with your head? ❜

❛ Put some clothes on and get the fuck out. ❜

❛ The vampire bond. There is no human equivalent. Lover, murderer, maker. ❜

❛ It's a bond that can never fully be severed. A bond like that makes you believe there are only two of you on the planet. ❜

❛ I cried. I called to God. I didn't want this. But I have a capacity for enduring. ❜

❛ We leave the damage so we never forget the damage. ❜

❛ She's grown very protective of me. ❜

❛ I ask these questions because I'm trying to understand you better. ❜

❛ I'm sorry for your losses. ❜

❛ I admire your steadfast pursuit of a game you clearly have no acumen for. ❜

❛ You're ugly when you act like that. ❜

❛ They don't appreciate you like I do. ❜

❛ You're like me. You like to laugh. ❜

❛ Well, now that I'm dead, I can be whoever I want. ❜

❛ I seek refuge from complaints when I visit you, dear. ❜

❛ He's the father of lies. ❜

❛ This life, it does a number on the head, on the soul... if we even have a soul. ❜

❛ When he hurts you again, and he will, come find me. ❜

❛ You don't need me. You think you do, but you don't. You're smarter now. You see trouble coming a mile away. ❜

❛ You left without saying goodbye. Again. ❜

❛ Back in your cage, sweetheart. ❜

❛ We endure each other for [name]’s happiness. ❜

❛ I love you. I don't say it often enough anymore. ❜

❛ You threaten a life which will endure till the end of the world. ❜

❛ Are you a narc? ❜

❛ I want to interview you. ❜

❛ So...question. Can an immortal meet mortality? ❜

❛ We would spend our hours enduring, with little pretense of getting along, locked together in hatred. ❜

❛ Knowledge is the ocean's edge. ❜

❛ They say that Satan lives in this house. ❜

❛ Well, send Saint Peter our regards. ❜

❛ We have to leave this place. ❜

❛ Maybe start by telling me the plan? ❜

❛ You spend an hour alone with him and you're breathing in sync together. ❜

❛ I'll lose myself in him. ❜

❛ You irritate me. Your very presence irritates me. ❜

❛ I came to make peace with you. ❜

❛ No one's comin' to a party thrown by freaks. ❜

❛ You're gonna try to kill him at this party? ❜

❛ I mean, this is all good and... sufficiently creepy. What do you want? ❜

❛ Would you like to know the secret of immortality? ❜

❛ I wanted him dead. I wanted him all to myself. ❜

❛ I'm going to miss this place. ❜

❛ I was his, and he was mine. ❜

❛ Always the petty slights with you. ❜

❛ We are joined by a cord, by a cord that you cannot see, but it is real. It is real. ❜

❛ I have loved you...with all myself. ❜

❛ I'm happy it was you...here with me…at the end. ❜

❛ This horror that had been [name]...I stared helplessly at it. The thing lay still. ❜

❛ Murder? What murder? It was an act of mercy. ❜

❛ You didn't kill him. You spared him, out of some fucked-up idea you had about love. ❜

❛ We have to burn him. It's the only way we'll know! ❜

❛ You don't need a memoir. You need a hundred sessions of EMDR. ❜

❛ You've only heard half the story. ❜

❛ This time, I won't save your life. ❜

[puritates]

"Surely you don't mean that!"

Ever undaunted, Lizzie quickly tossed the handsome pair of gloves into the pile of clothing and accessories. Her eyes were nearly sparkling as she scurried to her brother's side, snatching up a frock coat in the color of pink carnations. She held it up to his gaze, nearly bouncing on her heels. The shade was very much to her personal tastes, and she was dazzled by the image of her dear brother wearing it in her mind.

"Look at this coat, Edward! It's simply adorable! Just imagine the dashing figure you would cut as you strode through town. There wouldn't be a soul from here to Cheshire that wouldn't be utterly enchanted!"
