|| Welcome to this blog! This is 100% a dumping ground for aesthetics and inspirational musings posts that I find for my rp blogs / characters in general. If you're looking for my writing, I highly recommend that you give @faesigil a poke because that's where it's all at!

I love survivors guilt so much, what do you mean you’ll betray everything you’ve lost if you make your life into something other than a monument to suffering

We romanticize the stars, but forget the dark is what made them visible.

characters who get the "i can fix him" urge not because theyre a saint who loves everyone inherently but because they think "if i can prove there's good in everyone, maybe i can start feeling like i'm worthy or being seen as good too."

i tend to avoid discourse because most of it is trite and pointless but just this once i feel like i need to state my opinion: i think everyone should bend to my dark and evil will

So peaceful Souvenir. A brother singing ancient Andalusian song in Al-hambra palace.

The right amount of melancholy

[witchmd13]

This is one of my most favorite Andalusian muwashshahat (an Arabic poem that’s specifically written to be sung). It was written in the 3rd century by an Arab poet from Granada, so it’s not very far fetched that the song has been sung at some point in that very palace centuries ago. 

These are the lyrics in Arabic and English, in case anyone’s interested. 

When he appeared with a sway in his walk  My darling infatuated me with his beauty Oh, my fate and my confusion Who will have mercy when I complain Of anguish in love Except for the holder of beauty?

لما بدا يتثنى حبي جماله فتننا وعدي و يا حيرتي من لي رحيم شكوتي فى الحب من لوعتي إلا مليك الجمال

one of my favorite story elements is "character way past their prime can still absolutely wreck you, leaving you to wonder just how powerful they used to be"
