aabria, having just described that the parasitically-piloted actively-collapsing dead bear body the party is CURRENTLY STANDING INSIDE OF as a "deflated basketball", dismayed her party does not seem thrilled by this analogy: Ball is life!! >:(
It’s 1 am and I’m feeling a bit… emotional. So here we are. I doubt you’ll see this anyway.
You let me go.
I tried so hard for over a year, and what happened?
I cried when we talked because I didn’t want to lose you. But despite talking it through, nothing changed. I’d been upset for months and I was at my limit.
We tried to be friends again, but nothing changed.
Then, as the frustration and broken heartedness built up, I couldn’t do it anymore.
You asked to talk casually toward the end, but never really reached out to do so.
You always said how much you cared about me. Then why did nothing change?
You said you wanted to always be in my life.
So where are you?
Why did you let me go?
Was I that easy to cut ties with? Was I that easy to forget?
"because you were lied to, does not mean that everything is a lie. do not take the crimes of those who have manipulated us and put them at the feet of the world."
brennan lee mulligan sometimes you say shit like this during a campaign and it makes me want to tear my hair out
The Dragon Prince is soooooo funny for taking the Hand of the King pin from Game of Thrones, and turning it into a pin for the Baker In Chief/Minister of Crusts and Jellies
“You asked me, and before you say if you did say indeed words, whether in writing or in speech that simply never reached my ears, I take this moment then not to be certain, for I need you to hear this knowing that I am uncertain of the world that awaits me when I finish speaking.
“You spoke to me of honor, honor to me means something deep and profound. It is the pursuit of what is right when circumstances are against you. It is the doing of what is good and noble when the world conspires to prevent you from it, and in that sense I have never lived an honorable day. Every service I have done has been the path of least resistance. Every suffering of mine has been because I feared and feared greatly: to disappoint, to earn scorn. Each day I have been a coward. And seeing you in this Bloom, I have seen true bravery, without which there can be no honor.
“So, if you would let me, act with honor for the first time in my life, I would ask you for your hand, and for a kiss.
“You are beautiful beyond words, braver than the morning sun which dispels the night. There is one injury of yours that must be amended. You said that you felt alone. Never here. Not while I draw breath. I renounce the Goblin Court in its entirely and foreswear all oaths of loyalty to king and kin. If you are orphaned, then so am I, and you will never know a lonely day again, as long as I draw breath.
[Hob’s speech to Rue at the end of Episode 10 of A Court of Fey & Flowers: You Will Never Know A Lonely Day Again]
Hob, to Rue: "No word of any sort or kind did I receive at any point, to indicate to me that there was sentiment as you have described. You asked me, and before you say if you... did say indeed words, whether in writing or in speech that simply never reached my ears, I take this moment then not to be certain. For I need you to hear this knowing that I am uncertain of the world that awaits me when I finish speaking. You spoke to me of honor. Honor, to me, means something deep, and profound. It is the pursuit of what is right when circumstances are against you. It is the doing of what is good and noble when the world conspires to prevent you from it. And in that sense I have never lived an honorable day. Every service I have done has been the path of least resistance. Every suffering of mine has been because I feared, and feared greatly. To disappoint. To earn scorn. Each day I have been a coward. And seeing you in this Bloom I have seen true bravery. Without which there can be no honor. So, if you would let me act with honor for the first time in my life, I would ask you for your hand, and for a kiss."

literally so glad that BINX called Hob out on making choices for rue. he needs to understand that if he does that he is just another person making a choice for them when that is what they have been fighting this whole time.
he’s terrified about what will happen if he gives in to his feelings, scared to death of what that means to how he defines himself and what affect his admiration and open affection will have on Rue and their standing within the Bloom
he’s so afraid that he’s making excuses not to be happy without understanding that it is not just his happiness on the line and by running from Rue, he’s taking the thing that want most in the world away from them
