woke up inconsolably sad about alexander’s spouse, lads

#( alexander has hope but for the conduit that hope is simply gone... there's no reason to think he would return ) #( it stays faithful but more out of the fact that those two were never supposed to fall in love ) #( alexander tinkers together memory capsules and would send them through on experiments if he were ever that close ) #( what would have acted as messages in bottles to show not all is lost is stifled by how far off the hope of being able to send them is ) #( the fact that alexander tries still at all is futile and heartbreaking and when he succeeds finally - both times he is betrayed ) #🝪 — ‘ OK SO BASICALLY / I’M ERASERHEAD BABY ’ ( ooc. )

RICK   YANCEY’S   THE   MONSTRUMOLOGIST    /    STARTERS                                                       ( feel free to change gendered pronouns! )

“ yes, my dear child … monsters are real. i happen to have one hanging in my basement ”

“ our enemy is fear ”

“ it’s a philosophical question. which makes it useless, not stupid ”

“ we are the hunters —— and we are also the bait ”

“ there are times when fear is our truest, sometimes only, friend ”

“ perhaps it is our doom, our human curse, to never really know one another ”

“ i choose to serve the light, even though that bondage often lies in darkness ”

“ monsters, i now know, come in all shapes and sizes, and only their appetite for human flesh defines them ”

“ there is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so. there is no morality, but the morality of the moment ”

“ do you know why our race is doomed? it has fallen in love with the pleasant fiction that we are somehow above the very rules that we have determined govern everything else "

“ you invited me here to slay dragons, did you not? well. that’s what i’m trying to do ”

“ there is a reason we call science a discipline! ”

“ i always assumed it owed more to the fact that he didn’t like me ”

“ nothing matters but the truth ”

“ lying is the worst kind of buffoonery ”

“ well, i suppose nearly anything is possible, though some things are much more possible than others! ”

“ they say no one knows the bible better than the devil ”

“ remember, some falsehoods are borne of necessity, not foolishness ”

“ who was he to you? more important, who were you to him? “

“ i told you that you are indispensable to me. do you think i lied? ”

“ you are here — all of us — because we are but part of a plan prepared for the foundations of the earth ”

“ you didn’t really intend to blow his brains out ”

“ i saw the mouth of hell fly open and the spawn of satan spew forth! that is what i saw! ”

“ they are quite literally born to eat us. naturally that fact has caused some tension between our species ”

“ who else will be sacrificed upon the altar of science? ”

“ then exile your guilt and bury your grief. they are dead, and no amount of sorrow or regret will bring them back to you ”

“ you must be my memory. you must bear the burden of my legacy. will you promise that all will not have been in vain? ”

you are a: himalayan!

          despite your captivating beauty, you are an aloof person. you only open your heart to a select few companions, and you don't like to venture outside of the tranquil bubble of your own home very often. your discriminating habits help you maintain the kind of life you want: controlled and unhassled.

modernverse alexander is the head of a pharmaceutical company only because it’s the only thing i could think of that was comparable to the level of human evil that is ‘lofty aristocrat who literally grows stronger off his agonized populace’

Turn ask replies into threads.

If you like a response I made, you are more than allowed to just take it and make it into a thread. Some of you do this already, but others might need a bit of a verbal confirmation to let them know that they are more than allowed to do so. When I put a lot of effort into something, I really do enjoy when it sparks the need to turn things into threads with people. Whatever random situation I put our muses in normally something that I’ve wanted to write for a while, and I assume that you do too because you sent me the thing in the first place!

Write out a thing and tag me or mention me. I want to see where things go from there. Plus, who knows, if you wanted something with our muses, breaking the ice tends to make it easier to get that thing.

#( i write my ask replies so they're poised to be continued if so wished ) #( it's always okay! ) #🝪 — ‘ YOU MUSTN’T FORGET ’ ( psa. )
