Prompts: Friendship Breakups

 ✧ “We don't talk like we used to.”

✧ “What the hell happened to you? You used to be so much kinder.” “Maybe I'm just tired of handling you like broken glass. Grow up.”

✧ “You missed my birthday.” “I didn't think you'd want to hear from me.” “Yeah… I didn't think so either until I realized you were gonna be silent the entire day.”

✧ “I'm not mad at you. I'm just done being ignored until you bother to remember I exist.”

✧ “Not sure whether I miss you, or who I was when we were still close.” “Me neither.”

✧ “What do you need?” “I– What?” “You only ever call whenever you need something these days. So, what is it this time.”

✧ “You've changed.” “I've grown up. You should try it too for a change.”

✧ “Did you even know I needed you?” “I–” “No, you know what? Don't answer that. Whatever you say is only gonna make this worse.” 

✧ Text message: “Hey, do you have a minute to talk?” (Seen, never replied to.)

 ✧ “Oh, wow. Hi. It's… been a while.” “Yeah, it has. I… You look… happy. I'm glad.”

ugh, the hero keeps talking about being a pacifist who'll never stoop to my level and i'm starting to get worried that she's gonna sentence me to 1000 years in the torment crystal instead. i heard her mentor talking about mirror dimensions the other day and i'm gettin worried. next time she has a gun i'm gonna try and pull the ol' "you wouldn't shoot me, you don't have the guts" trick and hope it works.

never related to authors being like "childhood is such a blessed innocent time", catch me with that jane eyre shit like "such dread as children only can feel" and "I then sat with my doll on my knee til the fire got low, glancing round occasionally to make sure nothing worse than myself haunted the shadowy room"

CHILDHOOD IS MARKED BY FEAR WITHOUT THE WORDS TO EXPLAIN IT

Super thrilled to get a collection of three of my TBC kids from Harp - Orrin, Kira and Benji in all his disaster glory. And Benji looking so much like Cain's song it's beautiful.

concept: a death god that is actually surprisingly supportive and on the side of the good guys, supporting actions and promoting policies that will lead to the kingdom growing and thriving instead of being destroyed, because the more the kingdom grows, the more people there are, and the more people there are the more people will eventually  die, and when you’re an immortal god of death, you know there’s no need to rush. you’ll get them all in the end

i like how the responses on this post are cleanly split between “hey this is a great story idea i love it” and “this is absolutely terrifying”

Yes. A Death that is kind, and patient, and inevitable.

A Death that need not fight against you, that will often fight for you, because why not? It will gather you home eventually. Why not enjoy you first?

A Death that treasures those who fight it most ardently. That loves healers and defenders and survivalists and necromancers and mad scientists and immortal gods. That lets them pour everything they are into fighting it, denying it, adoring every desperate scrap of strength and will and brilliance and raw determination poured out against it. That catches you when your strength is done and all your will and brilliance run out, that gathers you close beneath a warm, dark cloak, and whispers well done, oh child, you were magnificent, well done.

A Death who will not seek to hasten an inevitable end, who will chastise those who seek to hasten it for others in Death’s stead, who will slowly and patiently plot and sow and siphon away from the great monsters of the world. Because who are they to hasten Death’s domain, who are they to deny Death its time and its place, who are they to cut short these vital glories that illuminate it so? Who are they to presume upon its will, that is so much larger and so much longer than theirs?

Who are they to call, and presume that Death, of all beings, should obey?

A Death that is not a hunter but a gatherer, who is always and eternal, who loves you, and can afford to wait. A Death who will fight for you and defend you, who will place its hand upon those who would speed you to its embrace, who has no need to rush you, only to greet you when you call.

A Death who is kind.

And patient.

And, before all and above all,

inevitable.

I love a character raised to be a weapon as much as the next guy. But what really gets me is a character raised to be a shield. Who can’t fathom being needed—or even being wanted— beyond keeping others safe. Who believe they are alive only to insure someone doesn’t die. no matter the cost. Characters who self-sacrifice not because they think they deserve it, but because no one else does deserve it, and it’s their job to protect.

Characters who’ve been told that’s why your important. Your worth something because this other person/ thing is important, and you are here solely to keep them safe.

Bonus points if it’s not a legitimate job they’ve been given. Maybe at one point it was, but now that they are free from it, they haven’t given up that mentality. No one is forcing or asking them to do this, but they need to. They need to in order to be deserving.

I know this is about Game of Thrones (which I don’t even watch), but it can also apply to The Magicians.

“Why does the third of the three brothers, who shares his food with the old woman in the wood, go on to become king of the country? Why does James Bond manage to disarm the nuclear bomb a few seconds before it goes off rather than, as it were, a few seconds afterwards? Because a universe where that did not happen would be a dark and hostile place. Let there be goblin hordes, let there be terrible environmental threats, let there be giant mutated slugs if you really must, but let there also be hope. It may be a grim, thin hope, an Arthurian sword at sunset, but let us know that we do not live in vain.”

― Terry Pratchett
