↪ All parts can be found here.

❝ i am the queen’s man still. today, tomorrow, always, until my last breath, or hers. ❞ ❝ a man should smell of sweat, not flowers. ❞ ❝ you love her well, i know. i swear, i shall keep her safe. ❞ ❝ keep your shield up. show me your strokes. together now. low, high, low, low, high, low … ❞ ❝ this voyage was cursed from the first. ____ fears you, my lord, why else send you so far away? he does not mean for us to return. ❞ ❝ more ships will come. the storms are done for now. i will have my fleet. ❞ ❝ if he can mock the gods, so can i. ❞ ❝ is ____ going to die? ❞ ❝ we are all going to die. ❞ ❝ ____ must not die. ❞ ❝ water will help the master. that’s what the healer said, it must be so. sweet fresh water. ❞ ❝ you must have seen the dragon. ❞ ❝ my mother said my father had a drop of dragon blood. ❞ ❝ ____? Is that you? less proud than when you scampered off, though. must we still call you ser?❞ ❝ give me a sword and you can call me what you like, ____. ❞ ❝ you … she sent you away … ❞ ❝ i came back. call me a fool. ❞ ❝ we have a good day for this, it would seem. a bright day, warm and sunny. ❞ ❝ now don’t you go thinking me and mine don’t trust you. we trust you just as much as you trust us. ❞ ❝ gave you my word on it, didn’t i? the word of ____. strong as iron, ’tis. ❞ ❝ they’re never far, you know. they won’t come out by day, not when that old sun’s shining, but don’t think that means they went away. shadows never go away. might be you don’t see them, but they’re always clinging to your heels. ❞ ❝ night falls, and now my war begins. ❞ ❝ give me half a reason to dance with you, and we will see who is laughing at the end. ❞ ❝ ____ was a good man. he did not deserve this end. all he ever wanted was to go home. ❞ ❝ let him think what he wants, so long as he delivers the message. ❞ ❝ come at sunset. and see that you are not followed. ❞ ❝ they are men like any other men. they want gold, glory, power. that’s all i am trusting in. ❞ ❝ in this world, a man must learn to seize whatever gifts the gods chose to send him. that was a lesson i learned at some cost. i offer it to you as a sign of my good faith. ❞ ❝ i rose too high, loved too hard, dared too much. i tried to grasp a star, overreached, and fell.❞ ❝ you do not want to watch this. ❞ ❝ i do not need to watch this. ❞ ❝ the serjeant was the clever one. he goaded ____ into killing him. ❞ ❝ close your eyes. close your ears. turn away. You do not need to see this. ❞ ❝ and if you burn her and the snows still fall, what then? who will you burn next? me? ❞ ❝ if death is our fate, let us die with swords in hand. ❞ ❝ press on and die, stay here and die, fall back and die. ❞ ❝ god of my fathers, if you can hear me in your watery halls beneath the waves, grant me just one small throwing axe. ❞ ❝ they know where we are going. if they are still afloat, we will meet again. ❞ ❝ give her a kiss for me in whatever hell you find her. ❞ ❝ let none escape to give warning to our foes. ❞ ❝ you would kill for your own purposes, for your own pleasures. do you deny it? ❞ ❝ i can see the truth in your eyes. you have the eyes of a wolf and a taste for blood. ❞ ❝ your heart is too soft to be one of us. ❞ ❝ i have no heart. i only have a hole. i’ve killed lots of people. i could kill you if i wanted.❞ ❝ death holds no sweetness in this house. we are not warriors, nor soldiers, nor swaggering bravos puffed up with pride. we do not kill to serve some lord, to fatten our purses, to stroke our vanity. we never give the gift to please ourselves. nor do we choose the ones we kill. ❞ ❝ you are too proud to serve. a servant must be humble and obedient. ❞ ❝ you will be the very goddess of humility, i am sure. but can you pay the price? ❞ ❝ he is an evil man. his lips are cruel, his eyes are mean, and he has a villain’s beard. ❞ ❝ he is a man like any other, with light in him and darkness. it is not for you to judge him. ❞ ❝ i will do it. i said i would. i will. ❞ ❝ he’s afraid, or else he knows that someone wants to kill him. ❞ ❝ are you some butcher of the battlefield, hacking down every man who stands in your way? ❞

men will read the ones who walk away from omelas and be like oh that's awful if only someone had volunteered to be in perpetual misery we could have kept the utopia, like consent was ever the issue. men will see a problem with society and be like but if i take on the burden and do the dirty work that nobody wants to then everyone else can be free to be happy, as if systemic problems can be solved individually. men will be kind and have the best of intentions and impact people's lives for the better on a person-to-person basis, but fail to account for what will happen when he's gone. his actions have value but when it comes to the bigger picture less will be accomplished on the whole due to lack of context and the belief that it all came down to what he could do, as opposed to the community - not out of selfishness, but out of fear of others getting hurt.

also big into the concept that the moonlight sword drives you mad if you carry it for too long, and that alex has that shit on lockdown after ludwig so no one else will pick it up and be afflicted. it's extremely difficult to manage and his contract with kos plays a huge role in lessening the mind melting impact of wielding it, but doesn't completely mitigate it. he's hoping to take it to his grave, to spare the world from its influence.

Moonlight Greatsword tastes sweet. No one knows it because none of the users have ever put their tongues upon the blade.

@vilestblood​ / heehee hug time

He didn’t flinch away. That was a step in the right direction. The hatred Yharnam -- and the Executioners in particular -- bore for the nobility of Cainhurst seemed unwarranted to him. There was nothing that they had done that Byrgenwerth had not tried first. He knew. He had been there. ( He just hadn’t paid attention. That was his own fault. )

       “I’m not lonely. Are you?” There was a challenge behind his words, but it was gentle. He kept his hands on the other’s back. “Don’t worry. I’ve not lost my senses. You have no target here.”

i was not gonna give alex an er au because he's so deep in bb lore but i must contemplate alex emissary of outer god kos. this god vassal came from the moon's reflection on the ocean.

alexander lost his left arm from overuse of augur of ebrietas. constantly opening a portal in his palm destroyed his hand and eventually shredded up to his elbow. he has a replacement, which, again, is articulated by his spectral arms.
