ｆｌｏｒｅｎｃｅ ＆ ｔｈｅ ｍａｃｈｉｎｅ ｓｔａｒｔｅｒｓ

"There is no way out."

"I never wanted anything from you."

"I like to keep to myself, thank you."

"I was dead when I woke up this morning."

"My heart is hollow now."

"They're coming to get you."

"There's a drumming noise inside my head."

"Tell me what you want me to say."

"Leave all your love behind and run."

"There's no light in your eyes."

"I'l be dead before the day is done."

"It's over. And I'm going under."

"It's peaceful in the deep. No need to pray, no need to speak."

"I found the devil in me looking for heaven."

"A kiss with a fist is better than none."

"You are the space in my bed."

"If you're gone, I will not belong here."

"I was just looking for a breath of life."

"I can stay in the dark if you need me to."

"I don't want your money. I don't want your crown. I've come to burn your kingdom down."

"Whose side are you on?"

"Sooner or later, you love the things you lose."

"Would you leave me if I told you what I've done?"

"Never let me go."

"All your love will be exorcised."

"I can hear your heart beat."

"What has been done can not be undone."

"You left me in the dark. What was I supposed to do?"

"I'm damned if I do, and I'm damned if I don't."

"You'll carry it with you if you want to survive.'

"A thousand armies couldn't keep me out."

"The room was so quiet..."

"Things go wrong no matter what I do!"

"You were a falling star, and I caught you."

"You're my head, you're my heart."

"Though the pressure's hard to take, it's the only way I can escape."

"It's hard to dance with the devil on your back."

"You don't have to be afraid anymore."

"They're in my head. They won't shut up."

"I never knew daylight could be so violent."

"What's the point in living?"

"They were there when I woke up this morning."

"I know I can count on you."

"Sometimes I just feel like saying I don't care."

"I'm always in this twilight in the shadow of your heart."

"I started to hear it again.."

"I can't leave the past behind."

"You've got the love I need."

"The dog days are over."

"You can't choose what fades away and what stays."

"Life is just too much."

"I was looking to get a dream of life again."

"I'm not giving up. I'm just giving in."

Tomorrow I am going into work an hour early so that my husband and I can head back home earlier. That being said, I probably won't be very active until around 10/11 PM CST tomorrow. I'm also dealing with my TMJ acting up a lot more than normal. I'm going to blame it on the tropical storm that is raging on the coast. I promise that I will get to my memes and starters as soon as I can and thank you all for being so gosh darn patient with me. I'll also be working on a theme for Miles as soon as I can.

          ♞ —— All  that  was needed  was for  someone to speak              her name in order for his mood to lighten and for a sincere              smile to take hold of his expression. There was a lax in his              posture  as a soft  laugh  escaped  from  between  his  lips,              casually  running  his  fingers through his hair -- which was              coincidentally  the same sort of thing she would have done.              He  crosses  his  arms loosely  in front of his chest, leaning              back  slightly as he  made  eye  contact  with  the  stranger.

                                        ❝ Where does one even begin when                                                  speaking of  someone  they think so                                                  highly about? ❞

              Hoping  that  his  words  had  come  off  more friendly than               romantic. Miles  dropped his gaze for  a  moment, lowering               his  hands  back  down  to  his  side as he drew  in another               breath  --  only to  exhale very  slowly  as he lifted his head               back up.

                                      ❝ She    is    wonderful,   truly.   Strong,                                                beautiful,  willful,  stubborn and loyal. I                                                would trust the woman with my life and                                                she    has    never    let    me   down. ❞

              He  allowed the conversation to come to a close, refusing to               express his feelings  about her  to some stranger before she                 even    knew     how    he     truly    felt     within    his    heart. 

                                               The  most  beautiful woman I have ever                                                 laid    eyes    upon.    Her   strength   is                                                 admirable  and  desirable. I would stay                                                 beside her throughout time and I would                                                 follow her into the Black City if she only                                                 asked.

                                                                           ♞ ---- out of the flames;

Alright, I'm going to be clearing out my drafts completely and starting fresh with all new plots and things. Relationships/Friendships aren't being wiped clean just don't have the muse for what has collected in my drafts over the past month or so. I currently only owe fireinherveins a starter but would very much so like to get some more threads going. I'm also always up for some party banter. So, if you'd like something -- like this post and I'll message you.

The restless nights were beginning to weigh heavily on him as he stared blankly out of his open window, occasionally sticking his hands out over the ledge. The cold drops of rain felt nice against the warmth of his hands. Miles drew in a deep breath as he stood from his seat beside the window and pulled a tunic up over his head. Perhaps the water clinging to his hair and clothes might do him some good.

Rain pattered against the cobblestone that paved the roads of Highever and aside from the downpour, all was silent at this time of night. Miles found himself easily lost in the silence that this night had to offer. But the silence hadn't lasted for very long. The faint sounds of cries were carried towards him by the whirl of the wind. A peaceful night must have been to much to ask for. The sound carried him to a dark ally, abandoned by shop keepers and towns-  people alike. The buildings had boarded up their windows that now gazed upon what most would have considered to be an eye sore. The manner of people that were often seen roaming this ally way were nothing but undesirables but none were to be found, just the shadow of a small woman curled up against the hard, wet floor.

Alright, so I'm visiting my family this weekend so that means I have loads of time to RP. Would anyone like to plot something?

all of the headcanonssssss

A random headcanon about our muses

Revka doesn’t realize just how much she’d miss Miles’ blond mop of hair until after it’s gone. During a trip into one of the larger cities, he decides it IS getting a bit unruly and gets it trimmed down quite a bit, to the point where it’s shorter than it was back when they first met at Ostagar.

Once it’s grown back to it’s regular length, Revka’s complaints pick back up as usual, though they’re far less frequent and when he asks her if he should get it cut again she makes some excuse about how “it’s a waste of coin” that I’m quite certain he’d be able to see through in a second.

A headcanon about our muses’ friendship

Revka does eventually tell Miles about what life was like in the alienage. She speaks with him about it at night by the fire when they share watch, and is completely honest. She doesn’t focus solely on the negative (she makes sure to tell him about Saturnalia’s in her parents’ home and the friends she would play with when she was a little girl, that sort of thing) but she certainly doesn’t gloss it over either.

It’s during one of these times (later in their friendship - fairly close to when they’re about to move on to something a bit more) that she eventually comes to tell Miles about both her parents and Ceral, as well as hat happened to him and why she was on the run for so long before being recruited.

A headcanon about our muses’ love life

At the start of their relationship, Miles very easily falls into habits he was raised to believe were expected of a man towards his partner; purposefully taking the heavier packs and bits of gear from her to carry himself, trying to help her climb over a fallen tree in their path, taking hold of her arm to steady her when the road has iced over, those sorts of things.

Well meaning as his intentions are (he honestly just wants to treat Revka with the same care he feels she deserves) Revka does not take kindly to it. She takes his constant fretting over her as some sign that he feels her incapable of watching out for herself, and it rubs her the wrong way. Eventually she snaps at him about it, and says something to the effect that she doesn’t want or need his coddling when she’s more than capable of handling herself, thank you very much.

Miles is admittedly taken aback, but after a bit of time and once Revka’s temper has died down to something manageable they’re able to have a surprisingly adult conversation about the whole thing and come to some level of compromise. Miles agrees to back off some and let Revka take care of herself, and Revka… well. She actually starts to take a liking to being offered a hand every now and then. Not that she’ll admit to it.

An angsty headcanon about our muses

Despite Miles’ best efforts to make her feel at home, the one time Revka travels with him back to Highever intending to join him as his guest for some function among the nobles, she never feels as though she is welcome. The other members of the nobility make it perfectly clear with their glares and half-whispered comments still loud enough for her to hear when she passes that she is unwanted there. Or worse, seen as nothing more than some “exotic” courtesan. She ends up shutting herself away in their room for about half of their stay, refusing to come out “just to give those shem bastards something to gossip about” when in reality she can’t help feeling as though perhaps they have a point. She’s no lady, certainly not a human, and even though Miles couldn’t care less what the others think, she knows no matter what she’ll never be accepted among them.

A lighthearted headcanon about our muses

Revka makes an attempt of teaching Miles how to sew at some point - but it ends disastrously. After a half hour of struggling to thread the needle once and then a second time, four damned near untanglable knots in the thread, and about a dozen different instances of Miles pricking his fingers badly enough to bleed, she decides the mending might be better left to her after all.

A headcanon about our muses’ differences

In connection to the headcanon from above about the nobility’s function, for several days leading up to the first banquet Miles spends a great deal of time going over proper dinner and court etiquette with Revka not because he feels she would handle herself poorly, but because she’s so anxious about making a fool out of herself. They cover a wide range of things, from dancing to conversation to how their meal would be served. Revka catches on to most of it at least reasonably well, though for the life of her she can’t bring herself to understand why nobles “feel the need to use so many blighted forks.”

Angsty Sentence Starters

Are you just going to disappear on me again?

Are you saying that this is my fault?

Don’t pretend like you ever cared.

Everything was a lie, I was just using you.

Forget you ever met me.

How could you leave me here?

How long have you known about the affair?

I always knew I’d end up hating you.

I don’t think I can trust you anymore, or ever again.

I hope you never forgive me for what I did to you.

I needed you and you weren’t there.

I never want to hear your name again.

I remember when you made me happy, I don’t know what I was thinking.

I should have never trusted you.

I thought you said you’d never hurt me.

If this is goodbye, make sure I never see you again.

It was fun while it lasted, but I can’t do this anymore.

Just the thought of being around you makes me feel sick.

People have died because of you!

Please tell me what I did wrong, what I can do to fix this.

There’s no such thing as love, at least not between us.

Was everything a lie?

We used to have something great and now I can’t get far enough away from you.

We’ll never be able to go back to how we were.

What about all those nights, do they mean nothing to you?

What we had meant nothing to me.

You can’t just walk away like nothing happened!

You never want to see me again?

You used to give me hope and now you give me nothing.

You’re so caught up with impressing everyone that doesn’t matter.

"Why would you lie to me?"

His eyes focus anywhere but on her; refusing to stare into her face when she is this upset. He doesn't blame her; how could he? Miles knew that he would have acted the same if the roles were reversed. I didn't lie to you. He opened his mouth to speak but the words fell silent against his tongue. I just didn't tell you everything. And how could he? How could he have told the woman that he loved that in order to make sure that they both lived, he would have to have a child with someone else? Miles hung his head, running his fingers through the blonde, tangled mess upon his head as he shut his eyes hoping that the action might force some explanation up towards the surface. 

❝ It's because I love you; more than I ever imagined it was possible to love another being. Because I couldn't imagine a world where you no longer existed and the thought of my death causing you pain was unthinkable. I am a selfish man and I hope that you can look past this or at least understand why I did the things that I did. And if you cannot, and you wish to be rid of me once the battle is over -- I will be gone. But you will be safe and that is enough for me. ❞
