STEFAN MOVING TO MULTIMUSE

[tcrnishedgrace]

MCFLY – ROOM ON THE 3RD FLOOR LYRIC STARTERS

|||||||| five colours in her hair

She don’t care.

Everybody wants to know her name

She’s just a loner with a sexy attitude

Everyone asks me “Who the hell is she?”

She was all I thought about, the girl I couldn’t live without.

She’d had enough

And now she’s just a weirdo with no name.

|||||||| obviously 

Recently I’ve been hopelessly reaching out for this girl who’s out of this world. 

She’s got a boyfriend.

‘Cause obviously, she’s out of my league

I know I never will be good enough for her

I’ll put it behind me

I never know where I stand

He’s good enough for her

|||||||| room on the third floor

I’m not tired enough to sleep.

One bed is broken, next room is smoking, air-conditioning’s stuck on heat.

Its times like these remind me that I gotta keep my feet on the ground.

The cheap nylon curtains let the sunlight creep in through from the clouds.

|||||||| that girl

She blew my mind and I wished that she was mine.

She looked at me and the rest is history.

She rocks my world more than any other girl.

She’s too good to be true.

Since then loneliness has been a friend of mine.

|||||||| hypnotised

I feel like I’ve been here once before

I tried to compromise but you keep telling me all these lies

You’re no longer mine

I can’t seem to get you off my mind

You treat me so bad despite how hard I try

You can’t hold me back no more

How do I forget you now

|||||||| saturday night

We gonna have a party tonight

You know that everybody likes to party on Saturday night

If you think you’re havin fun then the party’s just begun

All I have to do is smile

|||||||| met this girl

I hope I don’t regret the things that I said now.

When she walks in the room my heart goes boom!

I tried to take her home but she said, “You’re no good for me…”

She’s got a pretty face, such a lovely name.

She’s one I won’t forget.

The first time that I saw her she stole my heart

And if we were together nothing could tear us apart

You’re no good for me

|||||||| she left me

I didn’t know what i did wrong

Now i just can’t move on

Don’t worry, you’ll be okay

You don’t need me.

Believe me you’ll be fine

Now i can’t believe that she’s gone

|||||||| down by the lake

He doesn’t look at me the same way that you do

We’re better off when daddy’s outta town

Oh baby you got nothing to prove

I can’t be around him and I’ve tried

I told him that I liked him but I lied

Find some way to make him change his mind

What can I do to be with you?

|||||||| unsaid things

Back then, she wrote me letters just to say she loved me

Now her face is just a memory.

I’ve grown up but she’s moved on.

I still got so many unsaid things that I wanna say.

I still wait up wondering if she will remember me but there’s no way for me to know.

It feels like she’s slipping away from me.

|||||||| surfer babe

I hope I’m not a little too late

I never know what you’re gonna say

You don’t think that you’re my type, but you are

You don’t think I know your name, but I do

You know it’s hard when things never seem to wanna go your way

You’re the prettiest face that has walked my way

And I’ve been waiting for a girl like you

|||||||| not alone

Life is getting harder day by day

I don’t know what to do, what to say

My mind is growing weak every step I take

I’m not alone

My tired radio keeps playing tired songs

All I wanna do Is just go home

Every day just seems to be the same

They just don’t care

|||||||| broccoli

I should have known much better

But it’s so hard I can’t forget her

She keeps playing me around

I’m trying so hard to impress her

I just wanted her to let me know she cares

I’m a fool

I know she cares

“Is it?  To surpass is to be greater than.  One can surpass and put aside one’s wishes, health, well-being for love, and greatness is not inherently a good thing, Stefan.  One can do many great things and still have committed many wrongs at the same time.”  He would hardly blame the younger vampire for that, seeing as he was very quiet and had been in a box for quite some time.

Finn took another sip of his drink with a sigh and a light chuckle.  He had surpassed himself to protect his daughter, though Finn wasn’t about to say that.  “Eventually, yes.  Love for my siblings helped me surpass what I was at the time.”  Elijah finally breaking through to him had open Finn’s eyes to quite a bit.  “Though I suppose whether or not that is a good thing remains to be seen.”

Stefan laughed - less bitterly than it would have been before... everything. “Damon’s never been the sibling to inspire greatness in me.” But Damon was a complicated aspect of his life no matter how close the two of them got. Except... He’d sacrificed his own freedom to save his brother, hadn’t he? He’d put their history behind them for everyone’s sake time and again.

“But I guess I can see the point you’re making.” He downed the rest of his drink, letting it soothe the ever present hunger. He’s still not sure he agrees with Finn’s point, but he can see where the other is coming from. “I’ve done enough bad that greatness isn’t something I ever consider.”

So bc tumblr hates links this will be hard to pass around but theres a White House petition to save the USPS

This is significantly more important than a change.org petition bc it HAS to be acknowledged if it gets enough signatures

Please sign it and reblog!

[lemeute]

this petition was created on July 15, 2020. the threshold for an official response is 100,000 signatures in 30 days, so this is timely as well as tangible.

@secondsalvatore​ answered your ask “ To be in love is to surpass one’s self. ❞ (Finn x3)”

“You misunderstand what I mean by that, young Stefan.”  The original just chuckled lightly, taking a sip of his drink.  “It’s not always for the better that one surpasses one’s self for love.”

[secondsalvatore]

“Getting worse isn’t surpassing.” He took a sip of his own thoughtfully. “What about you? Did love help you surpass what you were?” He’d never thought too much about Finn. Maybe that had been a mistake.

“you know, i wish i could agree.” he’s loved people that have made him worse than he was too many times to agree with the original. katherine and klaus had made him monstrous; katherine in the literal sense, klaus in encouraging his endless bloodlust. “i think the only people that can make us surpass who we are is ourselves.”

[ @secondsalvatore​ ]

Her time with Stefan had been…healing in a way she hadn’t really foreseen.  Learning control over her new abilities, her hunger - had been quite the journey but dare she say, Vicki was almost completely happy.  Yeah, animals weren’t the best - but she knew now she would not handle human blood very well, and at least she had her friend and mentor in it with her.  She was working to get her GED in the meantime.

Stefan was home for the night and Vicki just smiled brightly over at him from the couch she’d been draped over.  “You’re home!  Once you have a minute, can we go on a run or something?”

[secondsalvatore]

Taking Vicki under his wing had been a gamble, not just with his own control but with hers. He hadn’t wanted to kill her, though. Not when she was in this messed up situation because of bigger things than any of them. Her lack of a ring had definitely helped in the early days and now she’d gotten to a point where he honestly trusted her without him most of the time. Look at me, Lexi, he thought, a sober mentor.

He gave her a smile back. “Yeah, I didn’t plan anything for tonight and Damon’s off... doing whatever Damon does when he’s not here.” Something to worry about later.
