angst prompts .

a collection of sentences tied to those rough patches in life and the moments where those who once stood close proved to be different than what you almost dared to hope for.

“ but it hurts, it hurts more than you can even imagine. ” 

“ when you’ve been through the kind of crap that i have, you sort of get it. ”

“ i thought i would learn something from all this pain, but i’ve never felt more stupid. ”

“ if life’s teaching me a lesson then i want to skip it. ”

“ it’s a burden that’s constantly there, constantly looming, constantly wearing me down. ”

“ it just won’t let go. ”

“ sometimes it just feels like i’m failing the world, and the world is failing me back.”

“ life’s got to be the worst tinder match in history. ”

“ i would very much like to stop feeling like this, but it’s not that easy. ”

“i watched you lose interest in someone you said you’d love till the end of time. from that moment on i realized i’d never fully trust the words of a lover's mouth again.” 

“i watched our folded hands was change, and now we would never see each other again.”

“i gave up being pretty when society raised the bar of beauty. “

“i slept so comfy in your embrace but then i realized that you weren't really there.”

“to be portrayed as a burden by someone whose supposed to be your rock is the greatest weight in the world.”

“it’s as if something is eating me up inside, and i don’t even want to stop it.”

“and maybe i am supposed to feel sad. maybe it’s karma. maybe I do deserve it.”

"i don't know how to feel."

"but you did leave me. you did leave me, and i waited for you."

"you don't get it do you? what it feels like to let someone inside your heart, your life and your very soul, only for them to tear it all apart as if it was nothing. you did that to me."

"i waited for you, over and over again."

"do you really think i forgot, after all this time?"

"everyone seems to have found their happy ever after and i don't even know if i'm made for that."

"everyone who touched me took a part of me with them."

"to break and to mend myself over and over again, i'm sick of it."

"don't to dare look at me like that when you brought us here in the first place – don't you dare make me feel this way."

"i moved on, i moved away from you."

"so, that's it then? nothing else? just ... done?"

"all the ones that claimed to love me... i just pushed them away."

"who is to say that you won't leave me, too?"

"right, because that's how it goes. you crack a joke, i laugh and then i'm supposed to fall for you, just like that. a snap of a finger... and then a snap of my heart when you've had enough of me."

"everyone says that they can take it, that they will love me no matter what but the moment i peel away that exterior i've worked so hard on, everyone pulls away... and i can't even find it in me to blame them."

"nothing good will come from regretting."

"the worst part is how i started to think that you were different."

"i could have expected it from everyone else but... not you."

"hands have never been kind to me, and words nothing but sly."

film ask meme : NOSFERATU (2024) directed by ROBERT EGGERS.

a selection of lines from the 2024 film nosferatu. modified for rp purposes.

you are not for the living. you are not for human kind.

do you swear it?

come here. there is nothing to be afraid of.

today is of the utmost importance for us.

it will be a great adventure for you.

why have you killed these beautiful flowers?

i must tell you my dream.

standing before me, all in black, was Death.

the stench of their bodies was horrible.

i had never been so happy as that moment, as i held hands with Death.

never speak these things aloud. never.

i wish you to have all you deserve.

it's worth celebrating your adventure. i envy you.

i fear their past melancholy is returning.

don't let them feed me to the monster!

remember, it's all for us.

you bring trouble with you.

beware his shadow. the shadow covers you in a nightmare.

you are late. the midnight hour is passed.

i fear we yet keep close many superstitions here that may seem backward to someone of your high learning.

they exhumed a corpse.

i might ease your wound.

come by the fire. your face shows you unwell.

why ever did you bring that here?

what can cheer this poor humor, my love?

do you ever feel, at times, as if you were not a person?

we all feel out of sorts, set apart, at times. small or alone.

you are fortunate in your love.

it is a black omen to journey in poor health.

no one. i am no one.

he loves the pretty ones best.

you are lost in his shadow.

remain here. his evil cannot enter this house of God.

soon i will be no more a shadow to you.

your spirit was never enough.

no matter. i miscalculated the stars.

hermes will not render my black sulfur gold this evening.

do not revel what is sacred to dogs.

does evil come from within us or from beyond?

this evil, what it it is, how it has been summoned - unleashed - i know not.

there is a dread storm rising.

your bond shall not survive me.

it is a force more powerful than evil. it is death itself.

i have wrestled with the devil as jacob wrestled the angel in peniel.

if we are to tame darkness, we must first face that it exists.

i told you, you are not of human kind.

i am an appetite. nothing more.

i cannot be sated without you.

remember how once we were?

you have never liked me.

nothing you can say will shake me - for there is a devil in this world, and i have met him.

don't touch me. i am not to be touched.

the grim reaper wields his heavy scythe with every change of wind.

your horror has rent our hearts, but you must hear us.

these nightmares do exist! they exist!

the monster left you to the wolves, and yet you prevailed.

we must know evil to be able to destroy it. we must discover it within ourselves.

i need no salvation.

you will put an end to all of this?

i feel his hold upon me this night.

i am ready. i bid you, come to me.

i relinquished him my soul.

god is beyond our morals.

"don't run away from this."

"you wanna know what your problem is?"

"so why's it so important anyway?"

"i'm not here to talk about my feelings."

"close your eyes and hold out your hands."

"seems like i'm always saving your ass."

"let me help with that."

"you know you aren't allowed in here, right?"

"don't shut me out. please."

"fine. i'll help you but you have to help me."

"i don't need you to understand, i just need you to help me."

"i have to do this alone."

"i'm not talking to you when you're like this."

"i don't need you anymore."

"why did you wake me?"

"how many times have i told you? you can't visit me here."

"jealous? i'm not jealous!"

"this place is cursed... i can feel it."

"you need to stay still."

"i've been to many strange places... but this is a new one."

"dangerous to be out so late."

"don't make me go by myself."

"i can't leave you alone for one minute, can i?"

"we're wasting time."

"you... don't like me very much, do you?"

"i would never lie to you."

"give me one good reason why i should believe you."

"i'm not sure what i'm supposed to feel."

"you're about as intimidating as a butterfly."

"no more lies, no more secrets."

"do you wanna get out of here?"

"what did they do to you?"

"i don't go away if you ignore me."

"you don't know when to give up, do you?"

"i can't help you unless you talk to me."

"what was that for?"

"you can't just come into my life and go right out of it. i won't let you."

"think of it as a compliment."

"did you want to be alone?"

"who did you piss off this time?"

"you'll be no help to anyone if you run yourself into the ground."

"stop trying to figure everything out. just focus on now."

"are you saying you care about me?"

"i did what i had to do."

"what? no witty remark? nothing clever to say?"

"i don't think we're supposed to be in here."

"they have us surrounded!"

"i've come for you."

"promise me?"

"why are you looking at me like that?"

"you'll always have a home with me."

"i never meant to hurt you."

"i believe you."

"let me see that."

"you can relax. we're safe here."

"you have to go somewhere safe."

"we've been through a lot. i think we should just lay low and take it easy."

"when was the last time you ate something?"

"we have to leave, now!"

"i need your help... and you need mine."

"i wasn't flirting, i was being friendly."

"change isn't easy."

"there has to be another way."

"i don't care what they say about me."

"you've lost a lot of blood."

"you don't give a shit about me."

"you want me? here i am."

"i never wanted to hurt you."

"it's very rude to stare."

"i don't often get the chance to talk to someone like you."

"if you have something to say, spit it out."

"when was the last time you slept?"

"i can't do this without you."

"you're such a fucking coward."

"i'm not drunk enough for this."

"i hope you haven't been standing out in the cold this whole time."

"i wish i could hate you."

"why are you still here?"

"you're hot when you're angry."

"are you going to kill me?"

"i don't have a plan, but we'll figure it out."

"we can stop them. i can help you."

"i don't feel so good."

"promise me you won't overreact."

"is... that my shirt you're wearing?"

"you look like you need a hug."

"what do these symbols mean?"

"you can't decide what's best for someone else."

"i guess i should've told you."

“Are you ready?”

Q shakes his head, one hand tightly clasped around the edge of his seat, other holding a shallow bucket handed to him by a shuttle's staff member moments ago. the colour of his knuckles now matching neatly with the white of his face.

" i'll be fine once we get on the ship. " he sees the doors being closed with a loud hiss from the corner of his eyes and takes a shaky breath. " provided we make it there alive, of course. " why is he doing this again? the engine is starting. Q squeezes his eyes shut. he wants out. now. he can't do work on a spaceship anyways, who is he fooling? he can't even take an earth plane, fuck. the palm of his hand moves quickly over his cheek, wiping away a stray tear.

" do you erhm – do you know how long it'll take, spock? until we get there, i mean. " the question is asked with the thinnest layer of composure. normally he would think of something to recite in his head to calm him down, wouldn't he? think of something, anything. calm down.
