meme. “ are you calling me a liar, tess, huh? ” @everstride / joel.
a hollow sound sits in the back of her throat, somewhere between scoff and mirthless laughter, barely breaching her lips ——— replaced is it by her tongue clacking. it almost echoes from one cement wall to the other. 𝒊𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒄 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒔𝒐 𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒅 ? desolation is a commonality of surroundings. she thinks she’s come to terms with it by now.

❝ oh, what?

these are taken from the show with the same title, triggers may or may not be present, proceed with caution and feel free to adjust any you that you deem necessary.
you’re wrong. he/she/they trusts me to make a difference.
he’s/she’s/they been lying to you your whole life.
you can go on living among the humans. they’re the people you really care about.
it wouldn’t be an abdication; you’d simply be doing the right thing.
i know he and his witch are hiding somewhere in time.
but what are they planning?
i can’t believe you don’t like ‘80s music! some of the best music ever was made in the ‘80s!
i don’t really know where to start.
whatever it is, just tell me. it can’t be that bad.
i’m hundreds of years old. you catalog history; i’ve lived it.
humans share this planet with other creatures – vampires, witches, and daemons.
so, you’re not a superhero, just an actual vampire.
everything you think you know about it is human propaganda.
but we are real. we are everywhere.
then i feel sorry for you. i think you need help.
i swear, i’m telling the truth!
why would you reveal your true self to a human?
i had too. i wanted too.
well, now you’ll have to kill her/him/them.
she/he/they won’t tell anyone. she/he/they thinks I’m a headcase.
i didn’t ask for any of this.
you need to understand your new responsibilities.
what’s their relevance today? are they doing right now?
that’s for you to decide.
if i’m in charge, i want to shake things up.
we should be looking foward, not backward.
aren’t we breaking the covenant already by living with a vampire?
daemons giving birth to witches would be unheard of.
so, is there anything else i can help you with?
come on, i don’t bite.
what do you know of love?
i often thought about what i’d ask her if i ever met her.
i would just have to accept my fate.
i will be choosing you over everything else.
each element has its own threads, so we must discover your element.
regard the room with your witch’s sight and tell me what you see.
the others probably don’t even believe that i am a weaver.
they’ve never met your like before. nor have i.
most witches only have one element in their blood.
stay away from her/him/them. stay away from us both.
we will trouble you no further.
we don’t need to play happy families.
i’m in a city full of witches, and i still can’t find a teacher.
once you are family, i will protect you.
if the witches find you took blood without consent, you’ll be put to death.
we have a problem.
you have your hands upon someone that doesn’t belong to you.
there are old stories of witches with miraculous power.
we have been hunted down and forced into hiding.
i fulfilled that need, and i did it very well.
well, if you’d bewitched him, he would tell you anything.
listen to my heartbeat, [optional:name].
i just, i hadn’t put it together until now.
i will not tell a soul what I’ve seen up here, i promise.
i always told my students cities of the past would have smelled awful.
how am i supposed to protect you if you won’t share things with me?
where were you tonight?
i told you. i had people i had to reach out to.
i’ve never run scared from anything in my life.
i simply won’t take risks where your safety is concerned.
well, i’m not staying locked up in here.
i can’t follow in your footsteps.
so either you find me that witch, or i will go out there and find her myself.
you are the only one that i trust to do the job.
your punishment is death by beheading and fire.
that is a punishment suited for the 14th century, not the 21st!
what is this house trying to tell us?
you craved me… all this time. and you resisted.
i will give anything, anything that you want. anything, just save him/her/them!
your magic can’t save him/her/them!
can we please not pretend this is a social call?
the house doesn’t like it when we argue.
how on earth could anyone think that you’re, that you’re human?!
you’re hardly inconspicuous yourself.
you will never harm me. i’m not human, i’m powerful.
and you will never hurt me because you don’t want to; you can’t.
there’s so much we don’t understand.
i needed to step out for some air, and then BAM i was here.
do you think that you might have just time walked?
your magic works differently from my magic.
there’s nothing wrong with you, [optional:name]. there never was.
the spell was somehow tied to me, too.
i was half myself for years, and you didn’t say a thing.
did you know that i was spellbound?
only witches who were mad were ever spellbound. witches who hurt people.
we believe that you may have been spellbound.
does that mean the baby could be a witch?
do whatever it is you must to survive.
i will hunt down anyone who wishes to harm you, and i will kill them.
this is what happens to witches who don’t cooperate.
it did not escape their notice that you were powerful.
show me the power inside you, and i can teach you how to control it.
not every witch shows magical aptitude.
when you’re gone, my life will be over.
which means you’re likely, more than likely, to cast spells.
you think that lighting a fire and pouring some wine will help them?
what is it? what can you see?
beware the witch with the blood of the lion and the wolf.
speak to me or you will get no more of this.
do you know what you have just done?
your fight is now my fight.
if i do, they’ll be no turning back. you have to understand.
according to her, you’re a mix between superman and lancelot.
from this moment, we will always be one.
you keep away from them both.
if i could use my blood to save him/her/them, i would.
your life is fleeting compared with a vampire’s.
if you’re trying to frighten me away from your son/daughter, you failed.
the sooner you’re all wiped from the face of the earth the better.
do not come anywhere near me when I’m hunting. do you understand?
witch water. witch wind. it’s just more magic that my body can’t control.
leaving me isn’t the answer.
my magic started coming out when i met you.
stop. stop. why are you being like this?
you have no idea what i’m capable of.
why would anyone ever agree to that?
there were a lot more of us creatures back then.
what happens whenever creatures break it?
to my knowledge, it has never been broken.
what spell have you put on me?
that’s the first time i’ve seen you enjoying your magic.
we can only protect ourselves against humans and other creatures if we work together.
when a witch refused to plead, humans crushed them to death with weights.
your parents weren’t killed by humans. your parents were killed by witches.
you might have shown some consideration, [optional:name].
living without magic isn’t bad. i’ve survived without it.
it feels cold, like ice growing under my skin.
witch power is in your blood, it’s in your bones.
you were born to be a witch just as you were born to have [optional:haircolor] hair.
are you going to give the book to the vampire?
i’ve never felt so protective. over anyone.
you have to come to terms with it somewhere safe.
i’m going to deal with this myself.
what do you taste?
i can hear your witch’s blood moving in your veins.
when i touch your skin and it rushes to the surface.
i thought you knew about vampires. that’s why you invited me to dinner.
most legends about us were dreamed up by humans.
well, our hearts don’t beat. very often.
if any vampire is going to take her/his/their blood, it’s going to be me.
what the hell are you doing?
yes. we can be killed… if you try hard enough.
someone did something to you or you did it to yourself.
but if we created them, then we could uncreate them.
it could tell us how we created vampires.
you think whatever power i have, i should use.
i think at the very least you should try not to be frightened of it.
there are still plenty of creatures left in the world.
your friend isn’t here to give blood.
you need to calm down. your adrenaline is very high.
so you actually think it’s safe down here in the dark?
am i making you uncomfortable?
you don’t believe everything you read, do you?
how could people still be so ignorant?
some people still believe in witches, that magic is real.
i’m assuming you used more than magic to retrieve it.
it’s a warning. you need to be careful.
the witches cannot be allowed to have that information.
the reason i didn’t tell you is because we’re all in the dark.
some would want to use that to destroy us.
once the world was full of wonders, but it belongs to humans now.
we, creatures, have all but disappeared.
