ⁱ﹚ CARRD. ⁱⁱ﹚ PINBOARD. ⁱⁱⁱ﹚ PROMPTS.
per some previous tags rambling: I wound up refreshing her pinned and moving to a new blog (same url) @wedstrife 💕
anyways, have any of you guys watched sirens? because it kind of scratches at a similar feeling I have about grace and lizzie but I feel a little insane trying to articulate it
unintentionally sold three ladies in my bookclub on peaky with my morbid desire to cram sk and kripke together under a microscope
Natasha is not listed in the cast announcement for the movie. Very likely Lizzie leaving Tommy is her happy ending?
from everything I've seen about the immortal man, the plot takes place largely in America so I'm not all that surprised she's unlikely to make an appearance. with wheel of time falling through and the upcoming sequel series though, I would be a little surprised to see the character totally retired.
“Lizzie is such a fantastic character, and if only Tommy had some sense he would just stick with Lizzie, but because he is so fucked up he gets it wrong all the time." — CILLIAN MURPHY
I made this post on my fb already, but I'm gonna put it here too for those that may need it.
Search and connect to support. Find financial assistance, food pantries, medical care, and other free or reduced-cost help in your area, any
This link can help you find where food pantries and other services are in your zip code
For those that are able to, food pantries are going to need donations now more than ever. Also look at your local stores because they might have special deals or be donating profits to different food charities in the area. Multiple local bookstores in my area are either donating proceeds or are actually giving out 500 dollar grocery gift cards (and accepting donations to contribute to this). I know it can be very overwhelming to look for places that are doing this when struggling, but local restaurants across the country are providing free hot meals and libraries are doing this for kids and teens in my area and probably others as well.

there's an almost liminal din to the restaurant—the disharmonious clank and clatter of flatware on china, chatter mulling together in uneven waves until it ebbed together into something indecipherable beyond the stray word she caught from time to time—or maybe she'd simply imagined it so. preferred it over the flat weight of his gaze. she holds it with a polite smile, her hands clasped in her lap to still them.
i'm your friend. remember? ... @arcticrime
it's a choice of word that strikes as odd (grating). overly familiar in that way of all his, their, her, associates on this side. partner. acquaintance. colleague. she doesn't correct him. straightens instead, her lips pursing in a consideration almost performative. a frail imitation she wills to take rigid form.
"I'm—" a beat. she hopes it seems intentional, rather than the stumble it is. "concerned, is all. I'd prefer you speak to me." instead of arthur.
it hangs there, the unspoken.
"as my friend."
♡ ... characters you'll find lizzie shelby in:
marie godfrey, the wise wolf. Marie wondered if there was a word for what she had become. It would be the opposite of an echo, a body severed from the voice. When all the voice wanted, if anyone could hear it, was to ask how they had let this happen.
carmela soprano, the sopranos. ["What are you doin'?"] "Getting my wine in position to throw in your damn face!"
emma murdoch, dark city. ["We're very lucky when you think about it... To be able to revisit those places which have meant so very much to us."] " I thought it was more that we were haunted by them."
sam 'ace' rothstein, casino. "When you love someone, you've gotta trust them. There's no other way. You've got to give them the key to everything that's yours. Otherwise, what's the point? And for a while, I believed, that's the kind of love I had."
kay adams-corleone, the godfather. "I don't fear you Michael, I just dread you."
cornelia locke, the english. "I’m crying, but not why you might think,” she says. “I’m just angry…"
elizabeth jennings, the americans. "Wouldn't it be a nice world if nobody had to do this?"
maggie cabbott, the sounds. ["I don't even know if I believe in closure."] "Yeah, me neither."

she hits the bullseye with a strikingly graceful shot. sends him floundering like a fish outta water. jesse huffs, irritated by the reality check. rifles through the kangaroo pouch of his hoodie for a pack, a pill, a plausible cover story — and doesn’t find a thing. with little else to hold onto, he white-knuckles the balcony’s railing. “what, like, ‘til someone busts a cap in my ass?” if he’s lucky, he might delay his demise for a couple of years. receive a lukewarm welcome from the twenty-seven club. members include: kurt cobain, jim morrison, and a meth head flirting with the idea of martyrdom. “yep. fine by me.”
truth is, jesse would rather not see himself doing this. jesse would rather not see. but blissful ignorance has slipped beyond his reach. gone is the idiot who thought the scales of justice weren’t irreparably skewed. (good guys always win. bad guys get booed off the stage, pelted with rotten produce, and barred from rejoining the ranks of society.) quitting means admitting defeat. disregarding his purpose.
“why?” jesse blurts out, fingers gliding over the ornate ironwork. his eyebrow arches in an awkward display of bewilderment. “you tryna get me to turn over a new leaf? start prayin’ to the big sky daddy?”
like a scab, all that bravado cracks and peels away and the real man, however brief, oozes out. it's not her intention to upset him—to hurt—but she'd be lying to say she hadn't felt the faintest bit of satisfaction in watching her words land and take hold. in knowing he wasn't so far gone into this delusion of purpose; he too would be swallowed up if he wasn't careful.
fine by me. liar.
lizzie says nothing. and maybe that was the difference between them: what made him better than her, or her better than him. fair and right were abstractions they'd long since discarded any right to but it'd never seemed to stop jesse. he still wanted to be good.
"—do you?" she couldn't remember the last time she'd attended a service, had laid her hands on a bible, but that hadn't stopped the occasional fragment of scripture from finding her in the dark. or onto her lips. it meant nothing—little more than the muscle memory of someone dead and buried.
she watches him with a softer mirror of his own bewilderment. there and gone again before she purses her lips.
"anyway," she taps ash into a tray, eyes looking past him now. "if god's what's meant to make you a good person, I don't know if you're a good person."
her breath is not her own as lizzie startles, a familiar thread of panic clenching down on bone. she lifts her hands. a white flag. a flustered show of her incomplicity — she only wanted to help.
"You’re just… making it worse!" ... @papillorne
“I—” christ. her voice unravels into silence. her ineffectuality almost painfully tangible between them. “tell me,” she says in a voice that belied its internal debate with instinct. a plea. “tell me how to help.” tell me what to do.
anyways, I spend a lot of time thinking about a modern widowed lizzie and her tumultuous relationship with her daughter
Kate Baer, from What Kind of Woman: Poems; “To take back a life”
[Text ID: “the hunger to be held, to be wanted, to / be called from the streets like the family / dog. You are not a good girl. You are not / somebody’s otherness.”]
"fuck him," she mumbled, avoiding the other woman's eye. lizzie was not someone who was, in the more idiomatic sense of the word, a taker. a doer. she did not have that primordial drive to carve the world in her image. devoted, in fact, an inordinate amount of mental resources to its opposite: she took and took what was doled and not an inch more. it rendered her volcanic. habitually, defiantly, obtuse.
"what do you care, @algorithymn?"
"Do you always push buttons?"
lizzie said nothing. she lit a cigarette, snapping the silver case shut in her palm and replacing it in a gesture too smooth to be anything but practiced. smoke coiled in a whisper overhead, its exhale offering no comfort.
(WELLSBURY) 𝓣hursday, 5:22pm. the suburbs.
this is the feeling she's been waiting for, the comfortable sinking into her own skin that tells her SHE IS SAFE. maybe even (home) if there's really such a thing anymore, if there ever has been. something tangible and real - not quite like the "home" that lives in her children, or the unbreakable threads that tie her to them.
𝙸𝙽𝙲𝙾𝙼𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝙼𝚂𝚂𝙶 ... ❝ thanks for the ride home. ❞ — @ofstrife. FROM, ACCEPTING.
lightly tugged from her wayward thoughts, georgia refocuses on her passenger. fixing on a familiar but practiced smile. ❝ 'course hun, anytime. ❞ & SHE MEANS IT. never been one to make thoughtless promises or toss offers around lightly.
❝ why don't you let me help you carry some stuff inside? ❞ pushing the car door open and stepping out. before lizzie has a chance to say no, georgia is already GETTING HOLD OF HER BAG. one of them at least. but still ready to stand down at any sign of rebuff.
georgia reminded her a bit of a hummingbird, or a tempest. flitting from one thing to the next in a dizzying whir; and meticulously so, she suspected. she didn't mind — happy enough to relegate herself to the proverbial role of passenger. circling to join her, lizzie collected the remaining bags. she shifted the weight from arm to arm, mindful of the prospective spill of colored paper and accompanying accoutrements of a classroom project as again came her cue to refrain: thank you, thank you, thank you.
fishing her keys from the front pocket of her purse in an awkward dance, she pushes open the door. dawdling. it's not home, but it's much! "the dining room is through here. —how do you like the neighborhood?" a question in a question. she sets the cotton totes at the foot of the table, the heavier of the two sagging glacially sideways beneath its own weight. she nudges it with her foot.
