Tessa Thompson as Charlotte Hale in S04E04 of WESTWORLD

[casgirl]

idk why but for some reason i'm so much more interested in when a character knows that the person they are in love with loves them back but still feels like they can't act on it because personal issues and/or plot reasons than a character thinking its unrequited.

[fruitviking]

Can we stop with the character development. Where's my beach episode.

[scapedgrace]

.....sometimes i think about changing my leandra fc to gina torres. if only because she looks a bit more like tessa thompson than (the esteemed) angela bassett.

“what a pretty thing. i imagine it’s dangerous - most pretty things are.”

“i already apologised. what more do you want?”

“flowers are so overrated. they’re bright, gaudy, and almost never make good poisons.” 

“let’s not make trouble for some stranger. we have our own problems.” 

“we should do something about this threat.”

“i was worried people might turn up with torches and pitchforks.” 

“i have been in more unsettling places than this, but not many.”

“i can go all night with the flattery, but is that really all you want?” 

“oh, i like that answer. yes, let’s go with that.” 

“gods! do you have any idea how much that hurt?”

“ah, drink it in - that sweet, sweet chaos.” 

“cheeky little pup.” 

“you know, we could always make our own entertainment, darling. get a little closer, so to speak.”

“wait, don’t interrupt them - let me do it.” 

“i do appreciate you trying to fix your mistake, just don’t do it again.” 

“urgh, really? of all the things you could think of - that?”

“well, go on. give them a nibble.” 

“i must see this. don’t you dare say no.” 

“looks like that’s going to bruise.”

“a waste of perfectly good treasure.” 

“well - yes. it was a joke.” 

“what in all the hells is going on? it felt like a bloody earthquake!”

“i can fight with all my weapons - teeth included.” 

“no, i won’t kill them! well, maybe [ name ].” 

“you want to just team up with some blood-stained killer?! because i’m fine with that.” 

“i like this one’s approach. a little genocidal, but effective.” 

“here’s my little treat with their cheeks all flushed. you’ll come to my bed tonight, won’t you?”

“the last thing i want to do is ruin this nails digging through rock.” 

“uh, i’m all for thieving, but let’s not be hasty. steal this and they will notice.”

“oh, good. puns. because clowns aren’t enough of a horror already.” 

“can we kill them? please? pretty please?”

“gods, what now? do you have a tax collector on your tail?

“oh that’s grotesque. don’t stare - you’ll only encourage it.”

“what in the wretched hells was that?!” 

“what’s so funny? you haven’t got some laughing curse, have you?”

“how delicious.” 

“next time? no no no, if there is a ‘next time’, i’ll be the one aiming the all-powerful weapon, thank you.”

“each their own, i suppose… although i am right.” 

“the blood, the screaming - ah, just thinking about it makes me smile.” 

“yes - all right - that’s more than enough comfort and support, thank you.” 

“i’m not easily impressed by people, but you’re stronger than i gave you credit for.”

“...i just need to get some air, clear my head.” 

“my, my. who knew our friend had so much blood in them?” 

“you have a manner of irresistible desperation about you. i like it.” 

“i’m open to suggestions: knifes, poison, strangulation, whatever you prefer.”

“no no - it’s not what it looks like, i swear!”

“do you think you could trust me a little further?” 

“i shall be gentle as a babe.” 

“gods, how are we not there yet? my feet are killing me.” 

“step one of starting a conversation: think before you speak.” 

“since when yielding’s been an option? gut the little rodent.”

If you hurt my brother there is a 100% chance I will come to your house and kill you.

&& WE CAN MAKE DEVILS OF EACH OTHER, or we can take that energy and make gods of ourselves.   and i’d rather live my life on a mission of  building a heaven  than working demolition in hell.    build big the beauty,   build big the love.    in a world of JUDGMENT  so much depends on the kindness of one friendly face. so build your compassion, build your grace. build yourself as beautiful as you want your world to be.      for every day you PAINT THE WAR,  take a week and paint the beauty. everybody knows what you're against; SHOW THEM WHAT YOU’RE FOR.

(soft light, tangled sheets, and the kind of silence that says everything)

𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐄𝐓 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐋𝐎𝐖

“You’re awake… I was wondering how long you’d let me watch you sleep.”

“Stay here a little longer. Just like this.”

“Your heartbeat feels calmer than it did last night.”

“You look different in the morning. Softer.”

“I could get used to waking up like this.”

“Don’t go yet… the bed gets cold without you.”

𝐖𝐄 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐊… 𝐎𝐑 𝐍𝐎𝐓

“…So, are we pretending that didn’t happen?”

“Be honest—do you regret it?”

“This wasn’t supposed to happen between us.”

“I don’t know what this means. Do you?”

“If you want space, say it. Don’t make me guess.”

“We crossed a line last night, didn’t we?”

𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐒, 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 & 𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐒

“You should’ve heard yourself last night.”

“Keep looking at me like that and we’ll never leave this room.”

“If you keep touching me, round two is happening whether you like it or not.”

“Want me to remind you how you begged?”

“We really broke the bedframe, didn’t we?”

“I’m not done with you. Not even close.”

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐏

“Last night felt… different.”

“I didn’t expect to fall asleep in your arms.”

“Tell me you don’t regret it.”

“I don’t want this to be a one-time thing.”

“Why does this feel like more than it should?”

“If I kiss you again… it’s because I mean it.”

𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐘 & 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐃

“We really shouldn’t have done that.”

“Someone’s going to notice we’re both missing.”

“This is going to make everything harder.”

“We’re in trouble if anyone finds out.”

“I don’t know how to act around you now.”

“Last night changed something—whether we admit it or not.”

𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃 & 𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐅-𝐀𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏

“You stole all the blankets again.”

“I made coffee… but don’t ask me how drinkable it is.”

“Shower with me? Save water?”

“You look cute when you’re confused and half-awake.”

“Breakfast or round two? Choose wisely.”

“Please tell me you remember last night… because I definitely do.”

“how many are there?”

“you've been inventing new moves.” 

“i have been feeling pretty confident.” 

“we need to keep our guard up.”

“why would they do this?”

“this is all my fault.” 

“life is a cycle, and out of death comes new life.” 

“that's what you should see: seeds for the future, not past mistakes.”

“it's okay. i'm not gonna hurt you.” 

“are you lost?”

“you know better than to wander off by yourself.” 

“something bad happened here, didn't it?”

“most people would call that unusual, wouldn't they?”

“i'll have to do it myself. as always.”

“water the most promising seeds. you taught me that.” 

“the world we live in isn't the only world there is. there's another realm beyond ours.” 

“i don't think it. i feel it.” 

“you sounded a lot more confident before.”

“all of this is my responsibility.”

“i need to help these people so they don't lose their homes and the ones they love.” 

“it's impossible for you to do everything.” 

“you almost said something specific.” 

“so...what do we do?”

“i'm getting hungry.” 

“hey! do you mind? i'm trying to concentrate here.” 

“we should tread lightly.” 

“we don't want to cause trouble.”

“when have i ever caused trouble?”

“i'm gonna lose everything!”

“there's blood in the water now.” 

“don't die, you idiot.”

“what are you looking at?”

“big talk for a little boy.” 

“there are creatures in here that will do far more than devour your body.”

“what did you mean about danger?”

“that was intense.”

“you're the best, everybody knows that.”

“there you are. where have you been?”

“i know you have always believed there is a right and a wrong way of doing things.”

“the rules are different out here.” 

“i can deal with the truth.”

“i'm a little discombobulated.”

“that's what pain does to you. it changes you into something that you're not.” 

“don't you know what it's like to be hurt?”

“do you always make jokes when you don't wanna talk about something?”

“you know i was never good at this.”

“someday, you are gonna show the world just how powerful you are.”

“well, that doesn't seem right.”

“the truth is, not everyone is meant to have people's lives in their hands.” 

“perhaps you've come to return what you stole from me.” 

“i know it's hard to believe, but...it's really me.” 

“i can't believe it's really you. how is this possible? how are you here?”

“i chose a different path.”

“everyone is counting on me, except i don't know what i'm doing.”

“how am i supposed to save the world if i can't even save my friends?”

“i have to try! i have to do something!”

“there's something i need to tell you.”

“it's not your fault. so...let go.”

“time is a funny thing. the past, the future, it all gets mixed up.”

“there's only one way to keep it straight. it's by remembering what truly matters.”

“i know you're in pain.”

“i'm gonna make this right. i promise.”

“keeping sight of what's important can be hard.”

“sometimes it feels like we'll always be alone, and the only thing keeping us company is our own pain.”

“we must let go of our pain and regret, and remember what it is we're really fighting for.”

“that uniform suits you well.”

“how do i look?”

“we've been playing catch-up for too long. i think it's time for a new strategy.”

“of course, i welcome your assistance. in fact, i expect it.” 

“i will hold them off for as long as i can.” 

“now, for the last time: step aside.”

“is it not customary to bow before your elders?”

“forgive me! i couldn't resist.”

“it's good to see you, but...what took you so long?”

“there are consequences if we fail. painful consequences.”

“i am here to aid you in your journey. anything you need.”

“shh...everything's gonna be fine.”

“you need to let me go. people are depending on me.”

“you don't know what's at stake.” 

“here's the thing: some of us don't need saving.”

“far as i'm concerned, world's just fine the way it is.” 

“a bunch of hunters have been sniffing around. folks not to be messed with.” 

“why? why don't you listen to me?”

“do you know what it's like to have people depending on you? to have somebody's life in your hands?”

“you couldn't have always been this way. what happened to you?”

“sacrifice is a part of war.”

“this isn't something you learn in a textbook.”

“it's a terrible plan.”

“someone's out there.” 

“sooner or later, he'll make a mistake, and that's when we can make our move. until then...patience.”

“please, you have to let me go.”

“there are innocent lives at stake!”

“i can't let everyone down again.”

“if i were you, i'd be thinking less about my past and more about my future.”

“it's not my future i'm worried about.”

“blow all the hot air you want. it won't change your fate.”

“what are you doing? don't write that down!”

“tonight, we will celebrate!”

“gonna be some night, huh?”

“man, am i happy to see your ugly butt!”

“right. run now, talk later.” 

“what are you doing!?”

“do you have a shot?”

“you shouldn't try to move. you're hurt.”

“i'm trying to help.”

“i don't need your help.”

“fine. have it your way.”

“can i ask you something? it might be a little personal.”

“we can't worry about anyone else's expectations.”

“all i do is worry about that.”

“maybe you can be better than them.”

“you can show some compassion.”

“compassion? compassion is a sign of weakness!”

“i'm sorry! i didn't mean to hurt you. i have a feeling you've been hurt more than enough.”

“forgive me, [name]! i meant no disrespect!”

“is this everything? give me everything!”

“i miss my friends.”

“if we knew each other back then, do you think we could've been friends?”

“you have the good fortune of continuing to bask in my beauty.”

“now is not a good time.”

“your spirit still needs strengthening.”

“you held back today. maybe you saw that as a sign of respect, but it wasn't. it was weakness.” 

“you must purge that weakness out of you.”

“sometimes the weak can become stronger.”

“i have made a mistake.”

“i've sheltered you, and it's made you soft.”

“there's something out there!”

“you're injured. we should have someone look at it.”

“i'm not going to ask you where you went, but in the future, i would appreciate it if you let me know whether or not you're still alive.”

“what's going on?”

“it's amazing how far we'll go to hide our true selves from the world.”

“i suppose it can be scary to admit you need people. some might see that as a weakness. a liability.”

“what greater pain is there than losing someone you love?”

“what's hard is knowing that sometimes, the mask is who you really are.”

“you're afraid of what you might learn: that you're wrong.”

“fine. you wanna learn how to fight? study closely.”

“is that all you got?”

“how did you do that? can you show me?”

“well, i doubt anyone's gonna say you're not strong enough now.”

“do you think we came all the way here just to leave you on your own?”

“i don't know if i can protect you.”

“let's face it: you don't matter anymore. actually, i'm not sure you ever did.”

“you're right. i don't matter.”

“[name], don't do this! you'll be lost forever!”

“he's a small man who's going to meet a small end.”

“you're alive.”

“you ruined everything!”

“your mission was a sham.”
