— The witching hour, somebody had once whispered to her, was a special moment in the middle of the night when every child and every grown-up was in a deep deep sleep, and all the ( dark things ) came out from hiding and had the world all to themselves…
I’m going to call you BFG.
starter call for older!sophie !!
Enchanted places…
“Dreams,” he said, “is very mysterious things. They is floating around in the air like little wispy-misty bubbles. And all the time they is searching for sleeping people.
Roald Dahl, The BFG (via passagesandpages)
The BFG.
░ OPEN!
boots in hand, sophie carefully stepped across the rocks in the water with her arms outstretched in an attempt to balance herself. singing merrily to herself as she hop-scotched her way across the river.
“ whizzpop! whizzbang! feel the bubbles go down… ”

jiggered that’s a new term for him. jittery, on the other hand, is something he knows all too much about. lips twist as his weight not-so-subtly shifts from one foot to the other before a hand is brought up to scratch the side of his face. “stilinski.” his surname is barked at him by almost everyone throughout the day at a rate which he believes is endless. it’s almost reason enough to believe he’s forgotten his first name. “stiles stilinski.”
more than a few words from her giant friend’s vocabulary had worked their way into sophie’s own. though fortunately it was something that she could often pass off as an ‘english’ quirk. words that had simply not travelled overseas. lips curved upwards, though it did not come without a slightly confused furrowing of her brow with his introduction. “lovely to meet you,” sophie nodded, extending a hand, “do you always introduce yourself like james bond?”
░ vcluntaryapnea:
“so i’m guessing sixteen is too old of an age.” he’s not totally sure where he gained his never ending snark, though it works well as a defense mechanism.
"i’m afraid so, it seems you’re jiggered.” sophie remarked in faux disappointment. sophie herself was rarely sarcastic. unless she was given reason to be - of course. “i’m sophie. i don’t think you told me your name.”
░ vcluntaryapnea:
sounds like a good trait when you’re talking to stiles stilinski. the boy whose tongue is dripping with derision. “how does one become immune to sarcasm?”
grow up in a girls home with an overly sarcastic matron, then with a giant who struggles to grasp the concept. (though maybe don’t mention that second part). “surround yourself with it at a young age. it worked for me.”

As soon as we decided on the theme, I knew exactly what to do. As a kid, I once read Roald Dahl’s ‘The BFG’. The little book stretched my imagination and stuck with me so well. I’m a fan of much of his work, but wanted to pay homage to this little nugget. Here is the Big Friendly Giant collecting up a dream.

░ vcluntaryapnea:
“over-reaction? me? definitely not.” words drip with that accustomed sarcastic tone. maybe over-reacting is a downfall of his.
“you know the british are immune to sarcasm don’t you? we practically i n v e n t e d it.”
░ vcluntaryapnea:
“that was really uncalled for. thanks for crushing my spirits. truly.”
@whizzpoppingsophie
“i’m sorry. though that’s a bit of an over-reaction. don’t you think?”
The maid screamed. The Queen gasped. Sophie waved.
