❛ you can’t save people, you can only love them. ❜ ( pOMPEII )

“i guess, yeah -- but what help is loving them gonna do?” bella paused, unsure if she should continue or not. “i don’t know -- what if whatever you want to save them from, is more important to them to you? what use is love then?”

❛ life happens. coffee helps. ❜

“you’re not wrong,” bella looked down at her own cup of coffee before taking a sip. “it helps when it’s too not to drink, anyway.”

❛ how terrible it is, to love something that death can touch. ❜ (tristan bc on olympus he's immortal and like his friends here rip)

“please do not start that right now -- besides, you have a long time until we all start dying, anyway -- but, what brought this up?”

( @tristanpragma )

[bluesmemethings]

various starters

❛  you’re a weapon and weapons don’t weep.  ❜

❛  hurt me once, I’ll kill you twice.  ❜

❛  never trust a survivor until you learn what they did to stay alive.  ❜

❛  death is the only god that comes when you call.  ❜

❛  I am teeth. I am royal. you are nothing to me.  ❜

❛  the sun will rise and we will try again.  ❜

❛  we’re just kids. we aren’t supposed to be heroes.  ❜

❛  I like my women like I like my Absinthe: bitter and intoxicating.  ❜

❛  what doesn’t kill me better run.  ❜

❛  she wasn’t looking for a knight. she was looking for a sword.  ❜

❛  don’t dehumanize bad people, because it’s their humanity which makes what they’ve done so terrifying.  ❜

❛  she isn’t just pretty. she is otherworldly and vaguely threatening.  ❜

❛  magic is not good or evil. is a knife evil? only if the wielder is.  ❜

❛  I don’t want your crown. see, I’ve come to burn your kingdom down.  ❜

❛  they broke my wings. they forgot I have claws.  ❜

❛  all that blood was never beautiful, it was just red.  ❜

❛  what do you do when there’s no hero in the story? simple. you kill the monster and crown yourself.  ❜

❛  how terrible it is, to love something that death can touch.  ❜

❛  you may not be interested in war, but it is interested in you.  ❜

❛  I feel divinity in my bones like aching. like fire.  ❜

❛  you make me feel and I don’t like it. I want it to stop. now.  ❜

❛  you are losing my interest and that is very dangerous.  ❜

❛  she will burn your kingdoms down, herself with it, if it means your ruin.  ❜

❛  it’s okay to be scared. it means your about to do something brave.  ❜

❛  she looks like divine absolution.  ❜

❛  I will not be another flower, picked for my beauty and left to die. I will be wild, difficult to find and impossible to forget.  ❜

❛  be careful with words. they can be forgive, but never forgotten.  ❜

❛  you not wanting me was the beginning of me wanting myself.  ❜

❛  I’m tired of fighting. for once, I want to be fought for.  ❜

❛  never run back to what broke you.  ❜

❛  I was quite, but not blind.  ❜

❛  your gut knows what’s up. trust that bitch.  ❜

❛  we all eat lies when our hearts are hungry.  ❜

❛  do not judge my story by the chapter you walked in on.  ❜

❛  I’m just a girl, standing in front of a salad, wishing it was a donut.  ❜

❛  you can miss something but not want it back.  ❜

❛  you can’t save people, you can only love them.  ❜

❛  I came, I saw, I made it awkward.  ❜

❛  we buy shite we don’t need, with money we don’t have, to impress people we don’t like.  ❜

❛  you’re always one decision away from a different life.  ❜

❛  my brain has too many tabs open.  ❜

❛  I’m not saying I hate you, just that you’re like the Monday of people.  ❜

❛  there’s no ‘we’ in fries.  ❜

❛  apology accepted, trust denied.  ❜

❛  death and I have been scandalously intimate for some time now.  ❜

❛  life happens. coffee helps.  ❜

❛  I am mine before I am ever anyone else’s.  ❜

❛  I rely a bit too heavily on alcohol and irony.  ❜

❛  very early in my life it was already too late.  ❜

❛  is that a threat or are you flirting with me.  ❜

❛  was the use of force necessary in completing your objectives?  ❜

❛  I’ll let you drag me to hell if it means you’ll hold my hand.  ❜

❛  I do bad things, and I do them very well.  ❜

❛  you drink too much, you cuss too much and you have questionable morals. you’re everything I ever wanted.  ❜

❛  they will kill you, but first they will have to catch you.  ❜

❛  drugs might kill you but they’ll never break your heart.  ❜

❛  good girls are just bad girls that haven’t been caught.  ❜

❛  a pretty face doesn’t guarantee a pretty heart.  ❜

❛  no airbag, we die like men.  ❜

❛  true evil is, above all, seductive.  ❜

❛  it takes more courage to suffer than to die.  ❜

❛  you must be lucky to avoid the wolf every time. but the wolf? he only needs enough luck to catch you once.  ❜

❛  justice is vengeance in prettier packaging.  ❜

“this is for art history. there’s some assignments out of my text book, some essays, a research paper, and a few other things -- my professor assigns an assignment every day we have class, and i have him three times a week, so i guess everything just added up,” she shrugged before putting the papers back into her bag, where they wouldn’t get lost. “enjoy it while you can -- college sucks. how’s it been educational here? other than the school part, obviously,” she smiled as she turned to him. this was easy -- she knew dealing with everyone else wouldn’t be as simple, but she was glad to start off with something easy rather than something difficult. 

[waterbellla-blog]

“believe me, if it were up to me, i’d stay as far away from this place for as long as possible -- but i need to meet with my professors and go over what’s expected of me for the rest of the semester, and how to finish my classes and such and still be able to graduate on time,” she explained, puling a stack of papers out of the bag. “these are all the assignments for one of my classes that i had to complete while i was gone -- today was my deadline to turn them all in. i appreciate that, though,” she offered him a warm smile. “so -- how are you adjusting?”

Help the Twin

Kelvin: Bella!!!!!!

Kelvin: BELLA!!!!!!

Kelvin: idk how to feel rn

Kelvin: HELP!!!!!

bella: yes yes it is i

bella: what's up?

bella: u okay?

[waterbellla-blog]

“ahhh, okay, so you’ve been here for a while, then,” bella bit her lip once he stepped back -- she really just wanted to stay in the car and prepare herself for what could happen once she was back on campus and people saw her -- time may have passed, but she knew the rumor mill didn’t slow down. she couldn’t let dignan know that, though. “yeah -- thanks,” she said instead, grabbing her bag and stepping out of the car and locking it behind her. “uh -- just got back, yeah. i got back in town a couple hours ago, actually.”

[waterbellla-blog]

bella tried her best to keep her face as neutral as possible when she saw her sister, but it was hard to do when she saw how terrible of shape coralie was in. though it had faded, she could still see the remnants of a bruise under one eye, she looked paler than normal -- she looked terrible. bella didn’t want her knowing how worried she was about her, but at the same time, she was worried that it was written all over her face. “yeah... i’ve been all right. it was nice to get out for a little bit. i really needed it,” she nodded slowly, looking away from coralie for a minute to compose herself before looking back. “and... what about you? are you okay? and... and how’s kelvin?”

[waterbellla-blog]

“i just -- i needed to be away from here, for a while. i knew i’d come back, i had to -- but i also needed to clear my head a bit, i guess. “ bella raised her eyebrows once asked if she was nervous -- it was just such a straight forward question, and she wasn’t used to people not beating around the bush. “i mean... yeah, i’m kinda nervous. there were some people who are really important to me, and they were really angry with me before i left -- i’m nervous to see them again.”

[waterbellla-blog]

“juliet! it’s good to see you, too,” bella was relieved to see a familiar face, after being gone for as long as she was. “how have you been?”

[waterbellla-blog]

bella blinked once in confusion before realizing her mistake, shaking her head. “i’m sorry, i guess i mistook you for someone else -- i’ve been gone for too long,” she sighed. she raised an eyebrow as he asked about arcadia, as they were in the middle of campus, and smiled softly. “yeas, actually, i have -- you’re in the middle of it -- of course i can, is there a specific building you needed to find, or -- ?”

[waterbellla-blog]

“i just... needed away, for a bit. i did some traveling, set my soul at ease -- that kind of thing,” she wasn’t quite sure if ‘putting her soul at ease’ was something she even accomplished -- but she did feel quite a bit better than she had before she left, that was for sure. “i know you did! i’m so sorry i had to miss your birthday -- we’ll do something to make up for that, though.”

[waterbellla-blog]

bella had an idea of who she was speaking to -- but, regardless, she had to make sure. she watched him, an amused expression on her face, and laughed once he finally stopped talking. “uh -- dignan? i didn’t know you were here, no,” she shook her head. “i’m glad you are, though -- i wasn’t in atlantica for very long, when i was gone, i didn’t even see your dad -- it’s good to see you again. how long have you been here?”

[waterbellla-blog]

bella stayed still, allowing peri to air out all of his dirty laundry, remaining quiet. she knew it was unlike him to lash out like he was, but she knew he was hurting, so maybe this was what he needed. “i don’t think it means any of that, peri,” she started carefully, sitting up a bit straighter and folding her arms over her knees. “maybe you just haven’t found ‘the one’ yet, you know? just because it hasn’t worked out for you thus far, doesn’t men it never will,” she paused. “here. let’s talk about the good things, okay? something good has to have happened to you -- i refuse to believe it’s all been just shit since i left.”

[waterbellla-blog]

“i -- i don’t think so, no,” bella frowned, trying to remember the girls face, but she couldn’t. “what? oh -- no, i’m fine,” she glanced away for a moment. she hadn’t realized how long she had been sitting in her car -- or that anyone else had noticed, honestly. “i’m just... taking my time, i guess. i’ve been gone for a while, and,” she motioned at the school with one hand. “it’s a bit overwhelming, being back, i guess.”

[waterbellla-blog]

“i am back,” bella smiled at aria -- she didn’t missed too many people while she was gone, but aria was one she did happen to miss. “i missed you, too -- i was gone for a while, wasn’t i?” she frowned -- she hadn’t realized just how long it had been. “how have you been? everything okay?”
