CALEB LANDRY JONES & ZOË BLEU as Vlad & Elizabeta .  ➨ DRACULA: A LOVE TALE .

[sungsilver]

more, she stands in the ether, beyond the realm of the living, dream walking threads. more, her song lures you in and you have a visceral reaction thread. more, she walks between rows of restless and grotesque dead and doesn’t balk or turn them away insight. more toxic dynamic and soul bonds because you’ve wanted to understand the framework of her mind and how to twist it but now because you can see her ….she sees you.

ALICIA AGNESON AS QUEEN FREYDIS OF KATTEGAT

Fair is foul. Foul is fair.

[drachnslayer]

he hadn't expected the sound of a melodic voice to lead him to his lost kill, however far it had wandered away after an unfortunately poor hit. sigurd is no archer by any means, only good enough to feed himself. after maneuvering through the last bit of thick underbrush he spies the other, knelt by the dead animal, and his shock is written plainly on his face as he quickly lowers his bow. luckily, the stranger makes up for his lack of words.

under normal circumstances he couldn't have made sure to fulfil entirely what is her request. he had planned to use as much of the meat as possible for himself, though couldn't have used up everything before it would go spoilt, with no opportunity to keep the rest cool while travelling. but the butcher in the nearby village will know how to use every part of the dead creature.

❛ i'll sell him in the village, ❜ he offers, using the humanly designation for the animal, like the lady has. he hopes that this may ease her grief. though he doesn't see it very clearly in her eyes. there is a compassion in them instead that seems strong enough to somehow breach the distance between them and warm his chest a little. sigurd slowly draws closer to elf and dead buck, hesitance remaining in his step. he crouches down by the other end of his prey.

❛ forgive me, ❜ he sighs as he stares into her eyes, perhaps seeking genuine forgiveness. but after a moment he lowers his gaze and his hand to the animal, lips pressed together in a look of irritation. he doesn't fully hide his frustration over the added labor this will bring him. ❛ i didn't mean to upset you. ❜

her  hands  rest  lightly  upon  the  stag’s  neck,  fingers  brushing  against  the  pelt  as  though  she  might  soothe  the  spirit  already  fled.  the  air  holds  its  silence  in  slow,  crumbling  deference,  broken  only  by  the  man’s  words.  sell  him  in  the  village.  coarse  ending,  but  not  without  practicality.  she  does  not  flinch,  her  gaze  lingers  upon  him  with  the  gravity  of  one  accustomed  to  weighing  words  and  the  hearts  that  speak  them.  ❛  you  mistake  me,  sir.  ❜  she  answers  at  last,  her  voice  a  soft  little  tide  through  the  stillness.

❛  i  grieve  not  the  loss  to  myself,  but  to  the  wild.  this  creature  knew  the  forest  as  his  home  long  before  either  of  us.  you  will  make  use  of  him,  let  it  be  with  respect.  ❜  studies  him  for  a  breath  —  hesitation  in  his  step,  the  furrow  in  his  brow  in  subtle  betrayal  to  both  sincerity  and  irritation.  a  mortal,  for  certain.  burdened  by  the  weight  of  his  own  survival.  celebrían  softens  still,  silver  head  tilted  in  slight,  as  though  to  ease  the  sting  of  her  words.

❛  there  is  nothing  to  forgive.  death  is  the  way  of  most  living  things,  at  least  a  first  death.  only  see  that  his  passing  is  not  in  vain.❜  her  palm  presses  briefly  to  the  stag’s  flank  in  benediction  before  she  withdraws  her  hand,  rising  with  eerie  grace  from  her  knee.  no  hauteur  gleam  that  follows  most  of  her  kin,  only  the  strange  mingling  of  sorrow  and  mercy  that  lends  her  presence  its  star-hued  aura.❛  and,  you're  still  free  to  tell  me  to  piss  off.  ❜  a  break  for  levity,  grin  offered  to  ease  what  remains  in  tension.

i’m one of the lucky ones. because you survived? …aye, that too.

[sungsilver]

rest, i'll watch over you.

WHERE IT HURTS // accepting

it  has  been  a  long  while  since  the  songbird  of  imaldris  had  sung.  a  smile  comes  and  goes  quicker  than  the  blink  of  an  eye  or  fallen  leaf  in  the  dew  of  autumns  grace.  though  it  was  barely  a  husk.  a  shell  of  what  once  was,  where  silver  walked  between  shadow  and  light  with  ease  instead  of  turmoil.  her  dearest  girl,  dappled  in  starlight  and  all  the  goodness  that  was  her  father.  his  kind  eyes,  lovelier  even  in  their  daughter  reflected  back  and  celebrían  is  reminded  of  such  ruin  within  herself.

undeserving,  unworthy  of  the  ones  she  loved  most.  too  broken  to  piece  together,  vessel  rendered  empty  and  brutalized.  it  is  not  the  plight  of  a  child  to  endure  this,  even  with  all  of  arwen’s  strength.  celebrían  fears  this  image  of  herself,  scarred  and  unhallowed,  would  burn  into  her  the  same  way  it  did  her  brothers.  forever  warping  them  all  in  grief.  and  still,  her  motherly  instincts  scream  beneath  her  skin,  to  offer  comfort  and  reprieve  even  if  it  could  not  be  mustered  for  herself.

   ❛ gilig  nín.❜  the  silver  maiden  had  yet  to  recover  the  lilt  of  spring,  her  voice  low  and  ashen.  a  hesitant  reach,  the  brush  of  a  hand  healing  from  the  iron  burn  of  shackles  to  her  daughters  cheek.    ❛   you’ll  miss  the  first  night  of  harvest.  ❜  you’ll  be  haunted  by  the  screams  of  your  slumbering  mother  if  you  stay—  words  that  do  not  reach  past  her  throat.     ❛ ada  will  need  you.  ❜

i feel nervous in a way that can't be named . ( from lich knight John?) // @frzenfear

she  walks  with  valar's  gift,  void  and  veil  summoned  in  the  silver  glow.  all  that  decays,  all  that  rots,  all  of  the  restless  dead.  it  speaks  between  her  ears,  a  mind's  eye  so  to  speak,  a  mausoleum  of  shadow  basking  in  her  light.  nerves  frayed  in  endless  fear,  and  yet,  a  calm  swept  across  her  brow,  her  smile  softened  more  upon  his  confession.  ❛ there  is  much  that  cannot  be  named,  sir.  wonders  and  horrors  alike.  ❜  step  light  upon  the  pathway,  pale  hair  and  blush  of  silk  adorning  skin.  through  ash  and  through  snow,  starlight  faded  between  the  decrepit  arc  of  mangled  branches.  there  is  a  dread  of  their  surroundings,  how  easily  gold  and  green  faded.  the  sun  vanished  into  the  nether.

❛ is  it  born  of  what  resides  within  you?  ❜  she  sings.  pace  halting  under  the  knight's  form,  ichor  gaze  held  there.  far  too  much  of  something,  knowing  in  tenderness  behind  her  eyes,  so  much  has  been  seen,  so  much  endured  in  cruelty.  still,  she  stands  among  death  as  though  she  could  command  it.  a  gentle  turn  of  his  wrist,  the  bright  bloom  placed  in  his  palm  withers  to  dust.  fingertips  trace  the  flesh  of  its  resting  place.  ❛  do  you  fear  yourself  ?  ❜

"i  don't  think  less  of  you." From dihenor

WHERE IT HURTS // accepting

this  new  form  holds  the  same  aches,  bleeding  from  the  inside,  it  fills  hollow  bones  and  fragments  of  soul.  ghostwalking.  inching  forward  through  this  realm  and  getting  nowhere,  searching  for  his  face  in  everyone.  celebrían  hardly  felt  the  bristles  comb  through  silver  hair,  gentle  as  dihenor  had  been.  perhaps  it  was  the  perpetual  state  of  being,  the  numbness,  the  overwrought  heart  that  felt  far  too  heavy  to  carry.  she  smiles,  softly,  golden  eyes  catching  the  other  elleth  in  the  reflection.  ❛ perhaps  you  might  just  yet.   ❜  the  silver  maiden  fidgets  with  a  loose  thread  on  her  sleeve,  deflecting.

she  knows  how  they  all  stare.  in  pity  or  not,  the  knowledge  of  what  her  fate  had  been  inspires  judgment.  were  she  not  a  child  of  such  renown  and  gilded  legacy,  she  would  have  never  survived  otherwise.  the  pride  of  elves  overwhelms  all  else  at  times.  ❛ forgive  me,  dihenor.❜  she  corrects  herself,  straightening  her  posture.  ❛   i  do  not  mean  to  sound  so  terribly  cynical./  ❜

What body part are you?

Heart

A heart in a cynical sense feels nothing, it simply carries through all the blood, all the oxygen, all the components the other parts that do feel need. An ugly organ, misshapen and strange when held in the palm of your hand. Yet, it is the centre of your being. It is the core. Even when you try to act unaffected, it is your heart that gives you away, skipping a beat, fluttering in excitement, halting dead in terror. You have so much of it to give, you just haven’t learned to discern who is and isn’t worthy of it yet. Hold onto it. Do not whittle it down, carve names into the flesh that you cannot erase. Remain patient, remain astute, and remain loving.

❝ i don't like how you make me feel. but i like not being around you even less. ❞

❝ i wish you wouldn't look at me like that. when you look at me like that i...it makes me wanna do things i shouldn't ❞

❝ there's no line i wouldn't cross for you. don't you realize that? ❞

❝ i did this for you. no one else. ❞

❝ i don't like it, but i'll do it for you. ❞

❝ i wonder how much of myself i'll have to give to you—how much i have to lay bare—before you realize how much you're taking. ❞

❝ i'm not trying to fix you. i'm just trying to be your friend. ❞

❝ i'm not um, real good at thank yous. or sorry's. but if you ever need me, i'm there. i owe you one. ❞

❝ you've seen me at my worst but you're still here... ❞

❝ you can be mad at me, i can take it. i'd rather you be angry than shut me out. ❞

❝ i'm not angry, i'm just scared. ❞

❝ i know you love me, but do you like me? ❞

❝ do you think i'm a good person? ❞

❝ do you think i care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference? of course i'm helping you. ❞

❝ tell me what i can do to show you how i love you. i will give you anything you ask for. ❞

❝ you don't have to keep apologizing. just be here. day in and day out and prove that you're gonna keep showing up. that's all you have to do. ❞

❝ i only sleep well when you're next to me. ❞

❝ i don't want an apology i just want to understand. ❞

❝ i could actually use a hug right now. ❞

❝ i want everyone else to go away, but you can stay. ❞

❝ i actually do care what you think about. you're probably one of the only people whose opinion matters to me. ❞

❝ you always seem to know what i need. ❞

❝ you always seem to know just what i need to hear. ❞

❝ i want you to call me when you need someone. i want to be here for you. ❞

❝ you're the one i wanna call when i need someone. ❞

❝ seems like i always want you around when everything feels all fucked up. guess that means something. ❞

“What I was thinking was, what could have happened to this girl to make her think she had no way out?” “It was everything. It was my whole world and all the people in it. And the inertia of my life, plunging ahead and me powerless to stop it.”
