RAVEN REYES FOR PRESIDENT. RAVEN REYES IS EVERYTHING.

[saferincages]

your voice is like a poem <333

what a beautiful compliment darling, thank you.

(this warms my heart especially because poems can be soft and gentle, but still hold power within their words, so if my little voice can achieve that in any way through song, I feel fulfilled indeed.) ♥♥♥

*** I've been working on this for a little over a month, piecemeal - it originated in the idea that I just wanted to make a simple, comforting playlist (which was initially only about 15 of these songs). There have been some difficult times lately, and music is always such a source of consolation to me that, as days wore on, I kept finding myself adding songs to it, thinking I might pare it down later. If something touched me or made me feel better, I added it. In the end, I have no shame, I included them all, broken up by instrumental interludes, so it's more like a small book of songs comprised of emotionally linked chapters; there are songs of quiet heartache and songs of gentle optimism, and a few that are a little louder and declarative, but for me there's a central propelling theme of forward motion, and ultimately, hope. Given its length, it can be taken in sections or as one cohesive whole, but either way, may it provide a little catharsis and wrap around your heart. Listen to the melody, my love is in there hiding. ♥

hi :) <33

(I drew some inspiration from your icon - Venice masked ball shenanigans!)

She had the mask made especially for the occassion. It covered the bulk of her face, leaving only her mouth and jaw visible to the eye. She knew that it wasn’t half as extravagant as some of the masks that her friends wore - but it wasn’t extravagance she was aiming for.

She never wore a mask with the intention to stand out in the crowd. On the contrary - she wanted to blend in. She wanted to be invisible - just another debutante who wished for nothing more than to laugh and drink wine and dance with one of the young bachelors who were eying the flocks of girls appreciatively from the other side of the ballroom. 

This way, no one would notice when she took the vial of poison from where it was sewn into her bodice, and spilled a single drop into the doge’s cup. 

And by the time the most powerful man in the city started trembling and grasping his chest - she’d have disappeared into the crowd again. An innocent bystander. Nothing more.
