Hey, skells speaking and I’m adding this post to pin it! This is a sideblog to my personal (@captainskells). There you’ll find aesthetic posts that I create with my own characters in mind as well as the muse pages that you see me reblog from time to time. If you feel that any of the resources there interest you (whether edits, gifsets or even pages), you’re free to reblog them.

Basically it’s just another type of resources that is available for you to have a look at if you want!

Quotes from Mien'Harel by @bodysnatch3r part 1 - from prologue to chapter VIII

❝ So bright. So brash. Who are you to decide what must and mustn't be proven. ❞

❝ Enough? I am not a boy. I am not a child, to be chided at every trespass, real or imagined. I am the one who broke your wards, the only one. And I deserve better than— than paper-pushing and endless, petty nobles squabbling over nothing. ❞

❝ You have not brought me here to flatter me further. ❞

❝ We call it Lyrium. The blood of the world. ❞

❝I thought the blood of dragons was the blood of the world. ❞

❝ Gods do not bleed. ❞

❝ We are not gods. ❞

❝ We bleed as any one of you bleeds. We live and we breathe and we laugh. And we dance. Oh, how we dance. ❞

❝ I am Her Tongue and Eyes. ❞

❝ They walk beside me now, as I lead our people to ruin. As I lead them in a war they cannot win. ❞

❝ This is what Lyrium does. It takes the music of the Fade that's in our blood and fine-tunes it. The first time I heard it, I thought I was about to go mad. ❞

❝ I will not fight your war for you. ❞

❝ I need for you to walk behind the worlds. ❞

❝ You are my only friend, my first true friend. ❞

❝ They were dust, they were insects. ❞

❝ Staring at it too long was anti-life. It was disease, walking. ❞

❝ He begged: for power, for skill, for the world to bend to him awake as well as it did in dream. ❞

❝ A music discordant, gone mad with solitude, crimson and virulent. ❞

❝ So many things, so small and frail, that begged and begged for mercy's scraps, trapped in a world that didn't understand. ❞

❝ Don't touch it. ❞

❝ Something suffered immensely to give it the power to move as if of its own volition. I do not know who created this. ❞

❝ They took its nature and perverted it as it begged them to stop. ❞

❝ First you tell me not to touch it, and then you grab the first shard you can find. ❞

❝ Why must it sing so loudly. ❞

❝ You said it yourself: we will return, but we will have been changed. Before the journey changes us for good, am I overstepping if I wish to know who taught you how to fight. ❞

❝ “I can feel the gears grinding in your skull all the way from here. I appreciate your indomitable curiosity, as do many others, I'm sure. I just wish it wasn't always directed at me. ❞

❝ You are the most interesting thing to have happened to me, as of recent. ❞

❝ Fine. You are the most interesting thing to have happened to me, that hasn't also somehow broken my heart❞

❝ The Mother-of-All says there is a war. ❞

❝ How strange. That our people be at war, and we are none the wiser. ❞

❝ I don’t want to tell you: the Gods have been shielding us from the horrors of this war, or, the Gods will protect us, because I have seen a god bleed, and Her blood had been as red as ruby roses. ❞

❝ Whatever should we do, with freedom? Don't we have it in abundance already? The world is ripe for the taking. Our Gods ensure we want for nothing. ❞

❝ Our Gods ensure we want for nothing. Unless one of Them decides we're better off as prey, strung up by the ankles like fat hares on an autumn morning. ❞

❝ I am the thing whose name you dare not speak. I am your Pride, little wolf. i am your dreaded howl, now at last fulfilled. ❞

❝ Out of the raw fade i have come. i have come into the fragments of your ruin. i carry with me a shard of your undoing. ❞

❝ It sings. you sing with it. it reflects. you refract within it. it shows you nothing that you did not already hold within yourself. you are the singing throat. it is the melody you harmonise with. it called, i came. we are of the same substance and yet different. ❞

❝ They sing with the blood of the earth, and know nothing else. It would do you no good to cross them. ❞

❝ I am what I am, no thicker than a blade of grass, no more solid than the promise of a lover. ❞

❝ Why do you hide behind blood, little song? What use does flesh have for you. ❞

❝ Have you been sent, then, to spy upon my friends and allies? Answer carefully. You only have one chance. ❞

❝ The birth pangs of the new world, birthing monsters. ❞

❝ We are our own masters. We seek freedom from their tyranny. ❞

❝ Here lies the Abyss, the well of all souls. ❞

❝ How I'd love to peel your skin away until there is nothing left but your rawness. Just to see what she has done to you. ❞

❝ It must be terribly lonely. All that flesh. All that silence. ❞

❝ I am a beast, but a beast of my word nonetheless. ❞

❝ I am her creature, and I will pay penance for it for the rest of my life. ❞

❝ I come because I love you. I come because I could not let you face the Abyss on your own. ❞

❝ What world is there that bleeds? Its blood is already all around us. I see it every day in the bright skies and shining temples of the gods. ❞

❝ Do you feel the air rush down your throat? To bleed, a world must need a heart to feed it. And for there to be a heart, there must be air to make it beat. The Fade is that air. Magic like the wind, soaring in the veils of our beings. And the lyrium… that dampens us or draws us taut like bows, depending on its use, that is the blood. ❞

❝ Shepherds of stones, they scurry along their tunnels, guarding the blood of their gods. One thinks the thoughts of all of them. One thought for them is the thought of the entire world. They make no choice that is not the choice of a multitude, condensed into the single gesture, single drop. They bare their blades, and the world shakes. They sing with one voice. They dance to one song. ❞

❝ We are all alike, beholden to such terrible powers. And all of us are cursed with the worst of all certainties. That our gods can bleed. Ours, red, and theirs— ❞

❝ I will strike in mastery, and claim power from them when they lie forgotten. ❞

❝ It is the blood of the world. Those who control it control us all. ❞

❝ Now certainty washes over you and cannot be denied. The “gods” have lied to you. To us. To all of us. I wish that I had seen it sooner. ❞

❝ I do not lie. I merely tell people what they expect to hear from me. ❞

❝ I wear a mask. We all wear masks. ❞

❝ You've seen more than most. ❞

❝ So, you are the thing she has entrusted with this mission. A mission that was mine. ❞

❝ I have torn other beasts asunder for much less. You'd do well to watch yourself and your sleek words. I remember how your brother howled. I remember the animal scent of his blood. ❞

❝ Do you think I did not recognise you. ❞

❝ I cannot trust despair to keep myself intact. ❞

❝ You are a thing. A pest. You scurry where you don't deserve to. You have charmed my Mother, through words or tricks or simple useless skill, but it is no matter. She will tire of you, as she has tired each time of her mortal playthings. When you fail, and you are killed for failing, then I will resume my hunt, and return triumphant with that which she has commanded me to find. The blood of the world will sing resplendent in my halls, and you and your brother will be bones beneath my boots. ❞

❝ You insolent thing! You prideful little beast! It is in the nature of your kind to fail. Without us, shepherding you towards your fate, you would have destroyed yourselves long ago. ❞

❝ I had no wish to outshine or embarrass You. Whatever your Mother may have seen in me, She has sent me as a means to bolster Your own efforts. We are two sides of the same coin: You are the unstoppable strength of the storm. And I slip in through the shingles, once the wind has peeled them back. ❞

❝ The love they had for them was blinding; They loved the way a child loved a toy, to coddle and torment. ❞

❝ You are a violent and irrepressible miracle. The vacuum of cosmos and the stars burning in it are afraid of you. Given enough time you would wipe us all out and replace us with nothing -- just by accident. ❞

❝ In dark times, should the stars also go out? ❞

Your enemies would love that. Or you can fight. The only way to load the dice is to keep on fighting. ❞

Some quotes from Disco Elysium -the Final Cut (2019)

these were narrowed down from a specific set of dialogue and descriptions based off this video essay (I Don't Want To Be This Kind Of Animal Anymore | Disco Elysium Analysis) by jeffiot. I highly recommend watching it.

❝ I don't want to be this kind of animal anymore. ❞

❝ You're the type of animal I would like to be. ❞

❝ I'm glad to be me -- an incredibly sensitive instrument. ❞

❝ No one believed I exist -- almost no one. Until you came. ❞

❝ Are you a miracle? ❞

❝ Of all the creatures I've met, you are the scariest. ❞

❝ Of all the creatures I've met, you are the most beautiful. ❞

❝ Of all the creatures I've met, you are the kindest. ❞

❝ Few of us can begin to imagine the horror of you -- with all creation reflected in your forebrain. ❞

❝ It must be like the highest of hells, a kaleidoscope of fire and writhing glass. Eternal damnation. ❞

❝ Even when you're sleeping… And when you wake, you carry it around on your neck. With eyes open that cannot help but swallow more behind the mirror. ❞

❝ I feel great, mute empathy for you. ❞

❝ You told us to fuck off. ❞

❝ Yes. You're sorry. You're the sorriest person who ever lived. Nothing has changed. I've heard this repentance shit a million times over. ❞

❝ We did everything we could. ❞

❝ You are tireless. Madly driven. ❞

❝ Then there's the… self-flagellating issue. ❞

❝ I don't want to be anymore. It hurts. ❞

❝ I've finally gone insane. ❞

❝ Go home. Or fuck off. ❞

❝ There is nothing. Only warm, primordial blackness. Your conscience ferments in it -- no larger than a single grain of malt. You don't have to do anything anymore. ❞

❝ This is a terrible line of questioning, and it will only lead to more awareness. ❞

❝ Alright. Nothingtown to Fuck-All-Borough! ❞

❝ Have you looked in the mirror lately? You have the exact features of a savage art critic. Disheveled and prophetic. ❞

❝ Looks like the circus left town, but the clowns are still here. ❞

❝ I am the vilest of the vile: A traitor, a devourer of nations and infants. ❞

❝ My days of giving a shit and being this type of animal are over. ❞

❝ Don't stop, keep singing. Sing me the song of death. ❞

❝ When you wear your coat, you wear my soul. ❞

❝ Weave this into the story of you. ❞

❝ Do I have a shaker in my hand? Am I wearing a little bow-tie? Am I smiling? Do you see me smiling and shaking my little shaker? No? Do you know why? Because I'm not a bartender! ❞

❝ I'm currently in between names. ❞

❝ What the fuck is a rake? I'm not a gardener! ❞

❝ The streets will flow red once more. You wait and see. ❞

❝ You are obsessed with sadness and with frivolous pop culture. ❞

❝ It's a matter of days. Not weeks. ❞

❝ It's very late. We should be resting already. Tomorrow will be another tough day. ❞

❝ I am the law. ❞

❝ You failed. You failed me. ❞

❝ Time to go work in the shit factory! ❞

❝ Don't worry, we will protect you from her beauty. ❞

❝ I see through deceits. ❞

❝ You are not a fool. ❞

❝ We made each other drink harder. That's why I liked him. ❞

❝ That's why I liked him. ❞

❝ My real name isn't mine. ❞

❝ I am as queer as cabaret. ❞

❝ You're a human can-opener. ❞

❝ I hope that at least that extra lining helps you keep warm at night. I wouldn't like you to catch cold. ❞

❝ It's your disgusting body. Even through your sleep, you feel a vague discomfort suffusing it. Your belly and your sides are unpleasantly tender. You wish you could curl up into a fetal ball of safety, but you cannot -- because of the pain. ❞

❝ You're just pretending that you're asleep, even to yourself. While the world goes on without you... ❞

❝ Thou art honourable and just, sire. 'Tis the snakes who are vile! Hissing in the grass... ❞

❝ You look like shit. ❞

❝ Oh God, ___! oh God, ___, what did you do...?! ❞

❝ I'm sorry ___. I'm so sorry. ❞

❝ The night is always darkest before the dawn. ❞

❝ Look under the floorboards. ❞

❝ Yes, I enjoyed the way he bled. ❞

❝ Habitual alcohol use has made you into a scared little pussy. ❞

❝ People just don't know how to accept gifts, especially taxidermy. ❞

❝ I'm very sorry for your loss. ❞

❝ It's not your place to live their lives. ❞

❝ What going to happen now? Everyone's going to die! What do you think is going to happen? ❞

❝ No one ever cares anymore, why would they cheat me like this?... ❞

❝ The person inside doesn't even know you are here. ❞

❝ It's the world. You're made of it. Every day you're out there you make more of yourself from it. I'm afraid you can't be unmade now. ❞

❝ You're one fine instrument. ❞

❝ You're the son of the World again. A ceaseless agent picking up litter and old newspapers, collecting your little bubble gum wrappers and idiot picture cards. Meaningless, meaningless keepsakes. ❞

❝ All those faces and all those names, all that laughter and screaming and scheming around... Every corner and every street... Recorded in you. Forever. ❞

❝ You're a real political animal. You still don't see that it's the world that's changing you. ❞

❝ I am the city. ❞

❝ I am a fragment of the world spirit. ❞

❝ My heart is the wind corridor. ❞    

❝ I've seen you with her -- and I've seen you without her. I've seen you on the crescent of the hill. ❞

❝ I need you. You can keep me on this earth. ❞

❝ Be vigilant. ❞    

❝ I love you. ❞

❝ You're going to keep your vows. ❞

❝ I'm not going to be played by an upset stomach. ❞

❝ Kill him if you have to. Our ultimate fate depends on it. ❞

❝ It is time to unleash the Other-World. ❞

❝ They said they killed him. They said 'it was a good way to end a Sunday night'. ❞    

❝ Be wary of the abyss. ❞

❝ Okay Mr. Sunshine, I guess I'd be pretty gloomy too had I gotten shot in the ass. ❞

❝ You already were a ghost. ❞    

❝ It's the living who are ghosts. The dead are silent. They don't rattle windows or write letters in blood. The living do. ❞

❝ You are the infernal engine. You never stop. You only get worse. ❞

❝ Sunrise, ____. Prepare for war. ❞

❝ I just don't want to walk into another embarrassment. ❞

❝ I am a creature of pride, you see... I'm afraid of becoming a joke. ❞

❝ Let's just admire this piece of the world we happen to have in front of us, eh? ❞

❝ Sometimes I feel like I don't have a good brain. ❞

❝ I am a deserter, a partisan, and a prisoner of war. This is my term-less surrender. ❞

❝ It's the life of a dog, not a human being. ❞

❝ Men without ideals are only animals. ❞

❝ In truth -- perhaps I'm nothing? ❞

BEYOND THE STORM ,

a sentence starter prompts list comprised of quotes from the novel a sky beyond the storm by sabaa tahir. please be advised that this list may involve topics including, but not limited to, murder, death, and violence. change verbiage as needed.

we are, all of us, just visitors in each other’s lives. you will forget my visit soon enough.

emotion is the enemy. love, hate, joy, fear. all are forbidden.

you will not win. i do not care what it takes, nor how long. i will defeat you.

death is not good, nor evil. there is no right or wrong with death. death is death.

murder is not the answer to everything.

worrying won’t help, but talking about it might.

defeat in your mind is defeat on the battlefield.

men are a terrible waste of air.

the world’s not only full of bad things, you know.

you of all people understand what it means to have the love of your life turned into someone else.

don’t let me fall, you idiot. unless you want to carry my carcass the next hundred miles.

it is torment to love someone hopelessly, with no chance of requital. there is no salve for it, no cure, no comfort.

your heart is the only thing that can be trusted.

i can’t change your mind, can i?

for me, [name], desire is not simple. it is not shelter. it is not warmth. it is a fire that offers no light, only heat, ruinous and consuming. the longer you deny it, the hotter it burns. you forget shelter. you forget warmth. there is only that which you want and cannot have, and the desolation that follows.

your wishes do not matter much to me.

you will not touch me. you will not even think about taking me anywhere without my leave.

may death claim me first.

when you look at me, what do you see?

you’re brave and wise. you just have to be patient too.

i am sworn to protect you.

i need you to disappear. to never leave. i need to have never met you or felt you. you. you. you. i need you.

why do you stand there like a moonstruck doe? if they catch you, they will kill you.

can a worm hurt a wolf, or an ant kill an eagle? no matter how badly you want me to die, i cannot.

i want to fight. i want a battle that isn’t in my head.

do you even remember those you’ve killed? or are there so many that their faces fade together?

greetings, death. you come to claim me at last.

i could not live with myself if more suffer because of me. stay away. leave me in peace.

there is no safe place for me in this world. not unless i create it for myself.

one day, you’ll have to reckon with all the things you try to hide from yourself. the longer you wait, the more it will hurt.

forgive me. laughing hurts less than facing what happened.

when i thought i was going to die, i thought about you.

there is no honor in death by idiocy. 

for the living, death is the only guarantee. it cannot be defeated.

war is your past. war is your present. war is your future.

a commander who has tasted the bitter fruit of war is the only one worthy of waging it, for they understand the cost.

i have missed you, my love.

get away from me. i will tell you nothing.

we are doomed, you and i, to offer more love than we will ever be given.

you’re a man of few words, so don’t waste the ones you do utter on things i already know.

this is my city and as long as i have breath left in my body, i will fight for it.

do not give me some sad story about love and loss and your broken heart.

you and i are more alike than you know, and that is not a compliment.

you’re in a position of great power. it’s a lonely place to be. most leaders spend their lives using others and being used. love isn’t just a luxury for you. it’s a rarity. it’s a gift. don’t throw it away.

you are lucky enough to love someone who loves you back. they are alive and breathing and in the same vicinity as you. by the gods, do something about it. for however long you have, for whatever time you get. because if you don’t, i swear that you’ll regret it. you’ll regret it for all your years.

mangoes are not as sweet if you are not sharing them with someone you love.

i didn’t care about them. not like i care about you.

i’d tear apart the world if anything happened to you.

you cannot make me stop loving you. not when i know that somewhere in there, you feel the same.

do you not understand why? i do this because I love you.

it’s so good to hear you laugh. you don’t laugh enough.

memory will make you weak and emotion will not serve you well.

you are broken, but it is the broken things that are the sharpest. the deadliest. it is the broken things that are the most unexpected, and the most underestimated.

i have seen what happens to those i love.

can i kick him? i’m going to kick him.

i still loved them. i shouldn’t have, but i did.

every time i touch you, i fall deeper into a place i know i will not be able to emerge from, should I lose you.

my soul aches with all that I should do. it weighs on me like a mountain, and i cannot bear it.

all my love goes with you.

i do not know if i will be able to do what must be done.

there are some things that do not die no matter how many blades we put into them.

love is why i still live.

come to me in the darkest hour of the night when the stars still sleep.

still flirting at inappropriate times, i see.

how many have died because of a king’s greed or a commander’s pride? 

how much pain exists in the world because we cannot get past what has been done to us, because we insist on inflicting pain back?

how does one move past such huge sins?

sometimes, it is better to die than to live as a monster.

there’s no one i’d rather have at my back.

love can be more powerful in a battle than planning or strategy. love keeps us fighting. love drives us to survive.

you don’t get to decide if you deserve my love or not. i decide that. you are worthy of my love.

your mistakes only define the rest of your life if you let them. don’t let them.

i want a life with you. adventures. meals. late nights in front of fires. a thousand rainy walks. you talking me out of my clothing in inappropriate places. i want more.

you cannot go first. i could not make sense of the world if you did.

there is not a single person alive who i trust more than you to do what must be done today.

all that i do is driven by love. love of all that was taken from us. love of what is left.

how do i go on when i’ve wrought such devastation? when all i have to give is death?

perhaps you and i are doomed to always be hurt. what we do with that hurt is our choice. 

how do we trust our happiness? how do we go on if we don’t know if it will be taken away?

i wish i could live a thousand lives so i could fall in love with you a thousand times.
