โ if i have to think about one more thing today, my head will explode. โ
โ you may be in grave danger. there is no time to explain.โ
โ we can make our own way. please, come with me. โ
โ don't even talk to me about this because i won't remember.โ
โ i am not your husband. at least not the one you know. i am another version of him from another life path, another universe. โ
โ iโm here because we need your help.โ
โ sorry, very busy today. no time to help youโ โ
โ all those years of searching have brought me here. to this universe. to you. โ
โ iโm here to tell you every rejection, every disappointment has led you here. to this moment. โ
โ i'm not ready to fight yet. โ
โ maybe we don't have a choice. โ
โ now, you can either come with me and live up to your ultimate potential, or lie here and live with the consequences.ย โ
โ i... want to lie here.ย โ
โ how often do people literally die laughing?ย โ
โ my husband won't even kill a spider. how are you the same person?ย โ
โ we are talking about infinity. if you can imagine it, somewhere out there, it exists.ย โ
โ how did i die? โ
โ i've seen you die a thousand ways. in a thousand worlds. in every single one, you were murdered.ย โ
โ what!? who wants me dead?ย โ
โ youโve been feeling it too, havenโt you? something is off. your clothes never wear as well the next day, your hair never falls in quite the same way, even your coffee tastes... wrong.ย โ
โ maybe we would have been better off if we had never gotten married.ย โ
โ i never said that.ย โ
โ you didnโt have to. itโs the way you look at me.ย โ
โ canโt you see it? how wonderful it would be if you came with me?ย โ
โ i saw my life without you. i wish you could have seen it. it was beautiful.ย โ
โ shhh, you're not thinking straight.ย โ
โ what is worse than death?ย โ
โ i saw your face on a billboard and โ this is silly โ i wondered if you remembered me... โ
โ is it that i canโt be here, or that iโm not allowed to be here?ย โ
โ there is no good, there is no evil. there is only โgoovilโ.ย โ
โ if you can imagine it, you have fucked it.ย โ
โ do not be so closed minded that you blind yourself from the truth!ย โ
โ donโt make me fight you. i am really really good.ย โ
โ you're capable of anything because you're so bad at everything.ย โ
โ you can't remember anything because your bodies were under the control of other universes.ย โ
โ you were like puppets. and you could do things you normally can't do. you were like, what's that movie... raccaccoonie?ย โ
โ how can you defeat her in every universe, if you can't even kill her in one?ย โ
โ the sacrifices necessary to win this war... i know all too well.ย โ
โ i cannot lose another loved one to the darkness.ย โ
โ i know you have feelings. feelings that make you so sad. that make you just want to give up. that is not your fault.ย โ
โ i'll see you again soon, somewhere out there in all that noise.ย โ
โ just think happy thoughts.ย โ
โ you okay? caught you staring off into space again.ย โ
โ i'm the one you've been looking for.ย โ
โ iโm the one who will defeat you.ย โ
โ youโre finally free, like me.ย โ
โ you don't have to choose anymore. between loving me or hating me. you can do both at the same time. โ
โ before, you were asking about "our daughter". it's crazy, but it really got me thinking. what if you had come with me all of those years ago? โ
โ all of this time, i wasn't looking for someone who could defeat me. i was looking for someone who could see what i see, feel what i feel... โ
โ oh, good, you're here too.ย โ
โ i'm sorry about ruining everything, iโย โ
โ we're all stupid. small stupid little humans. it's like our whole deal.ย โ
โ everything is going to be okay.ย โ
โ you think iโm weak donโt you?ย โ
โ when we first fell in love all of those years ago, your father would say i was too sweet for my own good. maybe he was right.ย โ
โ please! can we just stop fighting!ย โ
โ you tell me that it's a cruel world and we're all just running around in circles. i know that. i've been on this earth just as many days as you.ย โ
โ the only thing i do know is we have to be kind. be kind. especially, when we don't know what's going on.ย โ
โ i know you go through life with your fists held tight. you see yourself as a fighter. well, i see myself as one too. this is how i fight.ย โ
โ in another life, i would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you. โ
โ you know what i say? cold, hysterical, unlovable bitches like us make the world go round.ย โ
โ you arenโt unlovable. there is always something to love. โ
โ even in a stupid, stupid universe where we have hot dogs for fingers, weโd all be very good with our feet!ย โ
โ in a universe where we both agree that no one could love you, if we look hard enough, something will prove us wrong.ย โ
โ we are all useless alone. so its good you're not alone.ย โ
โ maybe you win in this universe. but in another, i beat you. or we tie. or we eat crepes.ย โ
โ i don't want to hurt anymore. and for some reason when i'm with you, it hurts both of us.ย โ
โ out of all of the places i could be, why would i want to be here with you?ย โ
โ i still want to be here with you. i will always want to be here with you.ย โ
AMC'S INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE SENTENCE STARTERS . a selection of quotes from the amc's adaptation of interview with the vampire. change pronouns/names accordingly as you see fit.
Do you know the secret to immortality?
I have loved you with all myself.
You irritate me. Your very presence irritates me.
A last dance before the feast.
(name), I would like you to meet the vampire Armand, the love of my life.
The vampire bond. There is no human equivalent. It's a bond that can never fully be severed.
Lover. Murderer. Maker. You took him back.
You took (name) back.
I was someone I don't want to be anymore. I've changed.
She's grown very protective of me. That's what this is. It's why it's hard.
She came back altered when she left us. There's a darkness in her that wasn't there before.
Write me a song, put your lover's voice on it. What the fuck is wrong with your head?
You don't need me. You think you do. But you don't. You're smarter now. You see trouble coming a mile away.
You're ugly when you act like that.
Better ugly than blind.
Once you put it out there, they decide what it is. It can get away from you.
You're not my (name). You can't be.
You kill like a, like a killer.
All vampires are born out of drama. We made her out of remorse. Out of selfishness.
Poor, dear. She wasn't held enough in between ritualistic murders.
Who am I supposed to love? You two have each other.
You are chronicling a suicide. Do not look down on Claudia. Look in the mirror.
He don't give good answers to questions. And he sits on the truth like it's his chair or something. I thought we weren't supposed to keep secrets.
Young, strong, and likely to fight back. You must be most ferocious.
Remember this. His face as it melts. This is why we never get close to mortals because sooner or later, they end up dead.
Do you ever think that we, that's to say, our kind, were put on Earth for a larger purpose?
I'm a vampire.
ย I heard your hearts dancing!
From time to time, I like a little variety. There, I said it.
A fish that doesn't swim. A bird refusing flight. You're going to struggle. I have faith in the feline population of New Orleans.
Hunting is an art. You have the power to subdue anyone you want, but sometimes restraint is your most powerful weapon.
There is one thing about being a vampire that I must fear above all else, and that is loneliness.
You can't imagine the emptiness. The void. Stretching out for decades at a time. You take this feeling away from me, (name). We must stay together.
Don't expect every reader to swallow that one.
ย I'm assuming you only met at night.
It's New Orleans. Days are for sleeping off the previous evening's damage.
ย I've seen death over and over and over and over again. It's boring.
That'll make a great blurb.
Don't do that shit here! Not with my family.
I was being hunted. And I was completely unaware it was happening.
Yeah, well, mortality beats a heavy drum.
So, (name), how long have you been dead?
The rage you must feel as you choke on your sorrow.
Fifty years later, you talk like he was your soul mate, like you were locked in some fucked up gothic romance.
Initially, he had very much been opposed to leaving the manor grounds without the young master - especially given his currently poor state. He had his reasons for being against the idea - reasons Lady Elizabeth were (fortunately) not privy to. The young Lord knew as much, yet he seemingly insisted that the pair would be off to London.
Needless to say, with Lady Elizabeth glued by her fiancรฉ's side, Sebastian was not in a position where he could argue against his master and remind him that he would be of no good at all should the boy's health go south even further - at least not beyond a surface level...
An order is an order though and, in the end, Sebastian would simply have to rely on the staff to take care of their master while Sebastian was away. Which hopefully wouldn't be too difficult, even for them, given that the boy would most likely remain bedridden the majority of the day.
"Naturally," The butler offered her an affirmative nod of his head, along with a polite smile. "I am certain that, whatever you'll bring him, it will surely brighten up his day by a tenfold." With a quick glance drawing towards the window, he continued. "And with such delightful weather today, I'm confident our journey will be a swift one."
"Do you have any particular items in mind for our shopping excursion, my Lady?"
@acollapsar (Plotted Starter)
Eyes that resembled beautiful emeralds shift towards the window as the city came into view. Truly, it is a sight the young noble women never tires of. There was something so peaceful about going into the big city to go shopping, even in the purpose of this shopping trip was due to a dire circumstances. Her dearest Ciel had fallen ill, and it was up to her as his fiance, to do all she could to make him feel better. So, what better way then to bring him some gifts from the city?
Though, considering she snuck out to go and see him, she couldn't do such an important mission on her own. It wasn't safe for a noble like herself to travel unattended, especially one as youthful as Lady Elizabeth. That's why she had asked the Phantomhive Butler to accompany her today, the man clad in black currently sitting across from her in the Phantomehive's very own carriage seeming to, at least from her point of view, seeming to enjoy the ride.
"Thank you again for accompanying me today, Sebastian. I know that together, we can find Ciel the most perfect and cute get-well gifts he's ever seen! He is going to love them so much that his dreadful cold will vanish instantly! After all, the power of love can overcome anything!"

His features saddened after the butler's words, but when he mentioned the nanny, a small smirk sprouted. "She's...probably... seeking for... us." A little giggle escaped." I'm sorry... i won't interupt you again...it's just..." a sigh escaped as his reason was not claimed."Can't I stay here with you? I promise I won't interupt again! I can help..."
The boy's tiny smirk did not escape the butler, meeting it with a slight raise of his eyebrow - betraying a hint of curiosity. The response was not entirely unexpected, really. Yet, a part of him had dared to hope that it wasn't so... A fool's wish.
Turning around on the spot, the child still comfortably cradled in his arms, Sebastian took a brief look around in disbelief, crimson gaze searching for the absent nanny. It appears her skill in both searching and keeping the child within her vicinity is equally lacking.
"... Very well," He finally lets out a deep, measured sigh before turning his attention back to the boy. "You shall remain at my side until I've located the nanny. However-" He gave the child a lingering, knowing yet warning look. "I must insist that you refrain from offering assistance. I simply cannot allow it," Not only would it most likely only result in giving Sebastian more work than what it's worth, but also-- "It would hardly be fitting for a servant of the Phantomhive household should they pass on their duties to a child of the family."
