Waltz of the Swans

Odette Petrovskaia. 20. Illustration and Graphic Design Student. Blogger. Cursed to turn into a swan from dawn until dusk. { Swan Lake Independent RP account. WIP. } **Note: Because of the curse, if your character wants to interact directly with Odette, they may want to wait until nighttime. Otherwise she can communicate through IMs or interpretive wing-flapping.

i love how the american media frets over showing lgbt characters on tv shows and then the bbc makes a tv show where the main character is literally an omnisexual immortal alien who eventually turns into a giant disembodied face and no one gives a fuck

"I don't think I caught your name, either?"

”..fairy bread?”

[swansyndrome]

"Yeah. It's, like, buttered bread. With sprinkles on top."

"I kinda have a surplus of rainbow sprinkles that needs to be eradicated."

Alice surprises herself with the conflict that suddenly wells in her - the reflexive politeness that recognizes Odette’s discomfort and wants to amend it and the sudden pull of the predator’s urge inside her, spotting the advantage she has over Odette. She so rarely has the advantage over anyone… “Just Alice,” she says; her smile blossoms a little wider, kindly, but she finds herself stepping forward a little into Odette’s personal space. Pushing the boundary just slightly. “Do you like working at the nightclub? I’ve never had the experience.”

[swansyndrome]

Odette takes a reflexive step back, as the concept of a personal bubble is especially sacred to her. She has her recent "condition" to thank for that. And the asshole who assaulted her and then turned her into a fucking swan-person. (Wow that sounds stupid even when she thinks it.) Nevertheless, she rocks back on her heels, swinging her arms behind her to clasp both hands at the small of her back. "Oh, it's cool, I guess. Kind of messes up my sleep schedule, but the pay is good and my boss isn't that much of a douche, so I can't complain." A shrug, followed by an anxious flip of her hair.

Ophelia offered the stranger a soft smile, dark circles around her own eyes. “Fatigued, I am afraid. But other than that, I should not complain. I am Ophelia…” she offered the girl her hand to shake.

[swansyndrome]

"Oh, well, I'm sorry. My advice is some mint tea and a vacation in bed."  She leans forward to clasp the girl's hand briefly before withdrawing again, hastily shoving her fingers back in her pocket. "Nice to meet you. I'm Odette."

"It's, you know, a night club. Pretty nice joint, actually. And by nice I mean the beer isn't piss-poor and the creep level is at a all-time low." "Nice to meet a fellow non-believer. I'm Odette."

okay you know what

I’ve been seeing this post about how Oscar Wilde is apparently the Sass Master because of a few of his quotes regarding his 100 favourite books and his apparently famous last words

Now don’t get me wrong okay I love Oscar Wilde and his plays are awesome (An Ideal Husband oh my god hold me that play is so great)

but I am sorry I don’t see how he could be labeled the Sass Master when there’s this man right here:

This classy motherfucker is François-Marie Arouet also known as VOLTAIRE.  And he IS the Sass Master.

Let’s just look at this badass’s most famous quotes okay?

“Common sense is not so common.”

Preach it, Voltaire.

“It is forbidden to kill, therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.”

Can I get a amen?

“A witty saying proves nothing.”

Damn right.

“Ice cream is exquisite.  What a pity it isn’t illegal.”

This man knows my soul.

“I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: ‘O Lord make my enemies ridiculous’, and God granted it.”

Yes perfect.

And you cannot even argue on the famous last words bit because when Voltaire was on his death bed and the priest asked him to renounce Satan, this sassy glorious bastard said,

“Come now, my dear fellow, now is no time to be making enemies.”

VOLTAIRE’D.

So yes I do believe that good Monsieur Voltaire completely out-sasses Mister Oscar Wilde.
