@boyancient​ / “You can only learn from pain, the more pain the wiser you become.”

‘ is this some sort of backhanded way to tell me that shit’s just gonna get worse ? because it already feels like everything i do is all for goddamn naught. the absolute last thing i need right now is — self-confirmation. ’ his tone reeks of arrogant misunderstanding, but there’s nothing the other boy can do to change his mind.

five crosses his arms, refusing to look his multiverse counterpart in the eye. for a fifty-eight year old, his behavior in this very moment is remarkably immature. but perhaps that’s just the paradox psychosis finally kicking in. as he reminds himself, however, those particular rules don’t seem to apply in his current situation — what with the two of them existing in separate UNIVERSES and all.

the silence catches up with him after a few more moments, and he spits out another unnecessarily cold remark.

‘ besides, i think i’ve learned enough for a hundred lifetimes. ’

@boyancient​ / “Do I look like the kind of man who dies?”

shaking hands gently prod at the wound in question, before five takes a slow breath and steels himself for the task in front of him. if you’d have asked him an hour ago if he ever thought he’d be doing minor surgery on well - himself - he’d have called you a moron and turned on his heel all before you’d ever finished talking.

but this was certainly real. and it was happening. right now. eyeing his doppelgänger with moderate concern, five picked up the needle he had sterilized moments ago in a pot of boiling water and positioned himself above the other’s abdomen. he’s seconds from breaking skin when his double pipes up, and five can’t help but wrinkle his nose in annoyance.

‘ i don’t know dipshit — do i look like the kind of man who’s going to let you? ’

LINES I’VE HEARD THAT ARE RAW AS HELL: A SENTENCE STARTER PACK

“I will face God and walk backwards into Hell.” ”Pick a god and pray.” “Then perish.” “Violence for violence is the rule of beasts.” “I have been through Hell and come out singing.” “There are no gods here.” ”Kiss my ass, you sanctimonious bastard.” “Do I look like the kind of man who dies?” ”Do you think God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he’s created here on earth?” ”Most monsters are a manifestation of our own fears and inability to accept different cultures we don’t understand.” ”You can only learn from pain, the more pain the wiser you become.” ”God, forgive me.” ”I am blighted being cursed with sight.” ”This is the age of the expanding man.” “God’s dead and soon we will be, too.” “I thought there were no heroes left in this world.” ”To become God is the loneliest achievement of them all.” “You kneel before my throne unaware that it was built on lies.” “Impudent of you to assume I will meet a mortal end.” ”People who don’t fear death are the ones who crave it.” “This is Hell’s territory and I am beholden to no gods.” “Bury me shallow, I’ll be back.” ”Perception is truth to those who perceive it as such.” “Take this gift, for the gods surely won’t.” ”When the weight of the world is on your shoulders, you learn.” “Ironic that someone whose purpose it is to restore life would wish death upon themself.” “God wishes he were me.” “One day, you will be face to face with whatever saw fit to let you exist in the universe, and you will have to justify the space you’ve filled.” “Everything that we know and love is reducible to the absurd amount of chemicals, and there is therefore no intrinsic value in this material universe.” “Hypocrite that you are, for you to trust the chemicals in your brain to tell you they are chemicals.” “All knowledge is ultimately based on that which we cannot prove.” “Will you fight? Or will you perish like a dog?” “You’re a coward. You always were.” “Deviation from the norm will be punished unless it is exploitable.”
