man. Remember the first time you watched Thor: Ragnarok (2017) Dir. Taika Waititi and hela asked thor ‘what were the god of again?’ and then it went to loki smirking and you KNEW something good was coming. And then immigrant song started to kick in and the LIGHTING started and you felt your SOUL leave your body and go to another plan of existance. Then Thor desending lighting and all onto that pile of aliens in slow motion looking goddamn RENAISSANCE painting? That moment changed me! the DRAMA! The rest of that scene? Valkyrie, Loki, and Hulk fighting together? Thor’s LIGHTING striking those aliens straight outta there like they were fucking ants? ICONIC! The iconic truly JUMPED out of that movie! Taika Waititi took my hand in that movie, told me it was all gonna be ok and then changed my life FOREVER! That was ART! Mr. Waititi thank you for my LIFE

“you make my heart beat in iambic pentameter.”

no you don’t understand shakespeare literally writes to the beat of your heart

that’s why shakespearean actors will sometimes pound their chests in time to the words during readings

that’s why you use fluctuations in the rhythm to track your character’s emotional state - any irregularities in the scansion are like the character’s heart stuttering or jumping or skipping a beat

that’s why when characters share the rhythm - switching off in the middle of a foot - those characters inevitably have an extraordinarily intimate connection

shakespeare fucking writes viscerally, he is literally in your body, and that, my friend, that is why the best shakespearean actors don’t posture and emote

you have to be fucking alive and passionate and electric - it can’t be intellectual, in the end, it has to be about connection and the sweating, cheering, jeering, bleeding masses you’re performing to, because make no mistake, shakespeare may go to lofty heights, but he only works if you’re just as grounded in the earth. he has to be in your body. he has to be in your body.

holy motherfucking shit i love shakespeare so much, get him in your bones, breathe him in, stomp and rage and pine, dadum dadum dadum dadum dadum, it is literally to the beat of your heart

“Is something wrong, Sweetheart?” Kori asked as her daughter approached her. “Of course I do. I always have time for you.”

“So, you know how I sort of disappeared for a few weeks right after Halloween?” Something she’d yet to be punished for and was still hoping to avoid. “Teddy already knows what happened, so I figured I should probably tell you too. But maybe sit down first...”

@vivisruin  reacted for a starter !!

“Do you think Mama will like this?” Morgan held up a pair of ornate silver earrings. “I’m never quite sure what makes a good pair of earrings and what doesn’t.”

“I think gold might be more her coloring, but that design is very fitting. Though I’m pretty sure she’ll love anything you get her. Need I remind you of the supposed puppy sculpture I gave her for Mother’s Day when we were younger? She still has that disastrous lump of clay on her desk.”

“I’d like to join you by your side.“ @vivisruin

“you know you don’t have to ask, right?” they cocked a brow, hands shoved into their denim jacket. “you just assume. we’re friends right? that’s what friends do.”

“Right, no, I know...I just...” Where was she going with this? Come on Vivienne, think of something else to say before it gets weird. Unless it’s already weird. Did we make it weird? “Did you get everything you wanted for Christmas?” Words spoken just a bit too fast in her rush to move things along, hint of a blush coloring her cheeks.

Now this was a sight he didn’t think he would get the chance to behold. Ari was someone who always put family first, wanting to make sure that they were safe. Especially his mothers who he loved dearly. So to see his little sister caused him to frown. And he didn’t even get the chance to ask her questions because she shut him down. A heavy sigh left him as he ran a hand down his face, shaking his head. “Is there anything I can do?” he then asked, just wanting to make sure that he could make her smile again and feel better. Ari didn’t know what she was going through so it was hard to act like an older brother and protect her.

Even after she’d cut him off, all he wanted to do was help her. It was one of the things she loved most about her brother. His big heart. She was convinced that even if he wasn’t an empath, he’d still be one of the kindest people you could ever wish to meet. She felt lucky to be able to call him family. “I think I just need a hug,” she said quietly, hoping she wouldn’t break down the moment her request was filled. The last month or so since she’d run away had been hard on her, loneliness being her greatest enemy and doing nothing to sway her paranoia. It felt good to be home. “I promise I’ll tell you everything. I just need to talk to Mom squared first. Explain why I vanished on you guys.”

“quit apologising, you know i hate bein’ sappy.” they huffed. “just … let me know before you plan on leaving again.” teddy bit their lower lip as they headed out of the door. “he’s not gonna eat anyone – unless they’re bad. dad’s rules. we follow them. but, um, are you okay?”

“I’m always apologizing, Teddy. It’s like, half of my personality,” Vivienne pointed out, the smallest of smiles tugging her lips as she poked fun at herself. “And I do promise to tell you next time. Hell, maybe you can even run away with me and we can make a vacation out of it,” she joked, though meaning every word. “Honestly, am I ever really okay? Let’s just settle for me feeling better, especially knowing you don’t hate me.”

“you saw him for real? or was it some other sideshow-bob-looking guy?” teddy immediately gained attention, crossing their arms as they looked at the red headed girl. “ruin can pay him back sometime or something. this is more important than that.” teddy flinched slightly at toxin’s reaction. “yes, it is more important than you getting something.” teddy mumbled to their alter-ego.

“That’s just it...I’m not sure. At the time I was convinced it was him, but looking back... I mean, it was Halloween after all. It could easily have just been some guy in a costume but I just panicked.” Not surprising given the fear instilled in the girl essentially from birth. “No, Teddy, if you guys are hungry we should find something before Toxin takes control and eats the first source of meat you find. Butcher’s usually quiet this time of day anyways, so we can still talk, and it might be good to go off campus if it really was my...Him.” There’s a pause as she shifts her weight from one foot to the other and back again, trying to rid herself of some of the pent up anxiety. “I really am sorry for leaving without saying anything.”

@ofthempath

Vivienne froze the minute she spotted her older brother, eyes darting to each side as she debated bolting before he noticed her. A plan that would’ve gone brilliantly had she actually convinced herself to move before locking eyes with the older male. She’d been caught, and there’d be no running without raising further suspicion than her emotions likely would. Worse when Ruin’s chimed in. “Before you have a chance to say anything, I really don’t want to talk about it,” she stated once he was closer, trying to nip the conversation in the bud.

[vivisruin]

@stvrfiire

“Mom...” Vivienne peeked her head through the office door, looking around until her eyes landed on the familiar fiery hair of her adoptive mother. “Do you have a minute to talk? It’s, um, sort of important. And kind of why I ran off for three weeks....”

[vivisruin]

“Oh!” Morgan frowned, just slightly. She glanced down at the mug, still half full of her tea and too hot for her to down in one gulp. Her frown remained for a second, anxiety pooling in her chest, before she forced a grin back onto face. She took a few steps over to the sink and dumped the tea out. “Right, right, just let me wash it out, and you can have it right back.”

“Oh no, Morgan,” Vivienne reacted too late, guilt hitting her as she watched the tea pour down the drain. “I just meant whenever you were done with it. I’m sorry, I should’ve been clearer. Let me buy you a fresh drink to make up for it. Please. Anything you want.”

❝ it’s customary to knock — ❞ eyes closed, she doesn’t let the sound of the door swinging open break her concentration. she sits cross-legged, floating a few inches above her desk —  not an unusual sight. ❝ — when entering someone else’s office. ❞

“Mom,” Vivienne uttered, hoping the other’s recognition of her voice would pull her from the meditation. “I just, um, can we talk? It’s sort of important.”

“we don’t want your food.” they muttered, crossing their arms once they realised who they were talking to. “you gonna explain yourself or just try and bribe me? we aren’t happy.”

“I thought I saw my dad,” she mumbled, seeing no point in beating around the bush. Teddy was one of very few who knew the truth of who her biological father was, so she didn’t feel a need to hide it. “I lost you at the party and I panicked, so I went outside for air and I saw him.” Sure, there was a chance it could’ve been a simple costume, but fear hadn’t allowed for rationality. “Please, Teddy, I’m so sorry for vanishing on you. Both of you.” After all, she counted Toxin as a friend just as she did its host. “Ruin says she is too.”

Felix turned on a dime when he heard the book fall, looking to see its source and seeing the stranger picking up the item she had just dropped. He realized quickly that he must of startled her when he shouted. “I’m sorry,” he said as he offered her his hand. “Let me help you up.”

Glancing up as he approached, Vivienne slowly slid her hand into his, grateful for the help as her other hand held tight to her book. “Thank you,” she whispered, not quite meeting his eyes. “You’re not going to yell again, are you?” A question Ruin had prodded her to ask.

“wait, okay, hold on–” claude huffed a little, flicking through the records in the record store. he liked to listen to them when he worked, but he wanted to branch out his musical tastes. “–can you help me pick something? i can’t decide what’s good to listen to that isn’t my usual stuff.”

“M-me?” A quick scan of the otherwise empty record store told her that was indeed correct. “Well, I’m a big fan of this band,” she offered, holding out a Grizfolk album she’d been looking at. “Though if you want something more classically based, Chad Lawson has some really great piano pieces.”
