NO LIGHT WITHOUT DARKNESS .. an assortment of quotes from season 2 of shadow and bone.
we've been framed for murder.
why is the sun so important to a privateer?
there's a whole world to see once we're not fugitives.
you think you know who you are not because you've suffered for a moment?
are you willing to sacrifice that which is most precious to you?
what you just did was impressive and also very illegal.
i have returned, and i made some new friends.
there's adventure, danger, money? now you're speaking my language.
the past informs everything. it is the wound that will not heal.
perhaps now you’re getting an inkling of what it’s like to be hunted.
you live in a single moment. i live in a thousand.
there is a cost, always, to making difficult choices.
suffering is as cheap as clay and twice as common.
it will give me some comfort to know you’re with me, in the shadows.
let’s go take down the king.
the trick is not to love anything.
being myself is a luxury I cannot often indulge.
all creatures have a weakness.
i was always honest with you with the things that matter.
i have seen what you truly are, and i have never turned away. i never will.
the problem with wanting is that it makes us weak.
you can’t unlearn that sort of hatred.
the power was angry, but it was mine, mine alone.
the whole world will hear it when I make her scream.
home. so much about it defines who you become.
this isn’t a return home; it’s a return to the scene of the crime.
who are you without your vengeance?
fight me as long as you’re able. you’ll find i have more practice with eternity.
i’m the final piece of the puzzle.
know that i loved you. know that it was not enough.
i’ll never know a love more than this.
you’re all I’ve ever wanted. you’re the whole of my heart.
you have a bad habit of acting a fool and calling it heroic.
there is no light without darkness.
without me, know that they will come for you.
if this path leads me back to you, we’ll know what we have is ours, and ours alone. choice. not destiny. choice.
there is no place for secrets when you sit upon the throne.

there is but one truth.
all things in this world are finite.
each night in dreams you may always remember me.
the light shall lead you safely.
i am but your faithful servant.
if blood must be shed and used, so be it.
step away from this folly, before it consumes us all.
i long to dance with you beneath the moonlight.
do not despair. for it is not you, it is of me.
my most heartfelt apologies for the ripped bodice.
such depravity i have never been forced to suffer!

i'd still rather die.
why be what i am when i can be more?
have you threatened to cut out anyone's tongue today?
for have i not grown in skill and measure?
binding a demon of higher power is dangerous...
let it be my choice to have served and died.
i'm not staying to watch you die like a fool.
the undead you have been fighting are people i killed with my own hands.
here is my soul, trapped in a cage of bone.
turn around, face the shadows. don't blink.
just going to lie here for a while.
chopping off their heads should do the trick.
i am empty, filled with nothing.
arrogance becomes our end.
i'm here to die. but i won't go quietly.
i don't want to die like this.
cry for the past; only there does glory dwell.
so the forest grows, a reflection of our might.
mourn the past and all that was left there.
mastery of the self is mastery of the world.
suffering is choice and we can refuse it.
pride disguises itself in its surety.

QUEEN OF THE DAMNED (2002) SENTENCE STARTERS
❛ There comes a time for every vampire when the idea of eternity becomes momentarily unbearable. ❜

❛ Did you think of anyone but yourself? ❜
❛ I only have myself. You taught me that. ❜
❛ It may be time to get ready for some company. ❜
❛ Can’t you hear it? Or is the applause all you can hear now? ❜
❛ We were once mortals too. It is our heritage we protect. ❜

❛ All he’s going to remind you of soon is a pile of bones. ❜
❛ Better dead than alone. ❜

❛ How are you going to spend your last night, as you always have, alone? ❜

❛ I’ve had enough of this discussion. Join me or die. ❜
❛ You will not touch her! ❜
❛ You still think to challenge me? ❜
❛ You kill me, you kill yourselves. ❜
❛ She’s not dead. She sleeps. ❜

Thank you @aloveforjaneausten for tagging me in this fun game:
you make a 24h poll with the names of your wips, let it run its course, and then write a sentence for every vote the winner receives. Which sounds like it could be good for me, because I have been dragging my feet on some things
There are 4 contenders here!
Old beliefs (Shadow and Bone, prestory. My sleeper fic. My rentry into fandom)
All this devotion (Shadow and Bone, Darklina)
Dragon diaries (House of the dragon, crack fic. what if the dragons could with each other talk basically)
Celebration, pt 2 (House of the dragon, sequel to this fic)
@fairy-anon-godmother @ncarnesir @grandlovescheme @anamazingangie and whoever is in the mood for this :)

sentence starters: poetry edition.
❝what does it feel like to be lonely? it feels like being hungry; like being hungry when everyone around you is readying for a feast.❞ ❝it hurts, in the way that feelings do, and it also has physical consequences that take place invisibly, inside the closed compartments of the body.❞ ❝the pure and simple truth is rarely pure, and never simple.❞ ❝there were two reasons i was scared to let people in; the damage they could do, and the damage they could find.❞ ❝i often see how you sob over what you destroy, how you want to stop and just worship.❞ ❝it's all the love you want to give, but cannot. all that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. grief is just love with no place to go.❞ ❝i want to say something but shame prevents me.❞ ❝they say lavender softens anxiety and i wonder whether i can plant a garden so dense in your mind that the knots in your chest unravel and never tighten again.❞ ❝crawl inside this body. find me where i am most ruined, love me there.❞ ❝perhaps cherries look violent in the sunlight. perhaps you should let the moon be your couturier.❞ ❝i need some older, wiser being to cry to. i talk to god but the sky is empty.❞ ❝everybody's got a bone to pick. we arise from the dust already aching. when god made the dinosaurs he said, lets see what teeth can do—lets see what asteroids can undo.❞ ❝and all this is metaphor. an ordinary hand—just lonely for something to touch that touches back.❞ ❝but what you don’t realize is that tomorrow will never arrive. it will only ever be today, with tomorrow lingering just within your grasp. but by then it’s too late to reach out, because you've already left all your promises in a place that'll always be just out of reach.❞ ❝and i am beginning to feel like nothing more than an observer in my own life. always watching idly by, but never doing.❞ ❝you are darned between the cracks of my bones and sewn deep into my veins. you’ve built a home in my ribs and have taken up residence in the softest parts of my skin.❞ ❝we're empty boats, blown forward—like loose strands of hair—by a long and steady wind, living without knowing what we feel or want.❞ ❝when you return to something you love, it’s already beyond repair.❞ ❝and even though i know exactly how this will end. i can't help but imagine how drowning in you would be a tragically sweet way to end.❞ ❝blue is the typical heavenly colour. the ultimate feeling it creates is one of rest. when it sinks to almost black, it echoes grief that is hardly human.❞ ❝forgive me if i have come out of my battle hood, battered and unpretty and tiresome. for i am a victor nonetheless of the way i carry myself. and my worth, my suffering, my fight, will not be marred by how unwell i walk away from the trenches of war.❞ ❝and i wish i could tell you that the aching was a beautiful rebirth of some magnificent kind. but there is no beauty to be found in this kind of survival.❞ ❝i yearned desperately to disappear into a book of poetry or a textbook of spells, something enchanting and mysterious, instead of clumsily taking up residence in an awkward body that half felt right, half felt wrong.❞ ❝and i see myself, flat, ridiculous, a cut-paper shadow between the eye of the sun and the eyes of the tulips.❞ ❝life gets hard sometimes. i know, darling. look at me. you are not broken beyond repair. you are always capable of mending.❞ ❝parallel lines have a lot in common, but they never meet. ever. you might think that's sad. but every other pair of lines meets once and then drifts apart forever. which is pretty sad too.❞ ❝i know i don’t make sense, (name). this is the problem. i’m a sick person, a crazy wishbone. i have razors under my tongue. i’m sorry i cut you, (name), i’m so—so sorry.❞ ❝you have haunted my thoughts and my dreams since the moment i laid eyes on you. i have memorised the slant of your brow and the wave in your hair, the sweep of your lashes and the rhythm of your steps.❞ ❝who are we at the end of the day? ourselves or the images of ourselves that we create? ragged lillies in march or lit molotov rags? boots pounding cobblestones or glass shards of broken storefront windows?❞ ❝what is victory but a song written to comfort the defeated? what is defeat but realising that you have been wrong every step of the way.❞ ❝in my dreams i am kissing your mouth and you're whispering, ‘where have you been?’ i say, ‘i've been lost but i'm here now. you're the only person who has ever been able to find me.’❞ ❝you must be someone special my dear, my darling, my love. because i thought of you for about the thousandth time today.❞ ❝from childhood's hour i have not been as others were. i have not seen—as others saw.❞ ❝here's a truth i've never told anyone else: in summer i ache more than in any other season. i wish i could say i'll be bright for you, but i worry about my tongue turning to ash at the first syllable—i'll be soft for you though, a nectarine under kitchen lights.❞ ❝the truth is this, every monster you have met or will ever meet, was once a human being with a soul that was as soft and light as silk. someone stole that silk from their soul and turned them into this. so when you see a monster next, always remember this—do not fear the thing before you. fear the thing that created it instead.❞ ❝i think i love the ocean because it's calm, beautiful, infinite. but also angry, harsh, and magnificent. and that intrigues me.❞ ❝i am always the wind, and never the bird. going, going where i am told to be, rather than free.❞ ❝and my worth, my suffering, my fight, will not be marred by how unwell i walk away from the trenches of war.❞ ❝the nights get heavy like they always do. i am older which means when i think of forests i get stuck not on the robin eggs but on the fox teeth. in my head i am hunting for myself, but i come up empty again.❞ ❝take this kiss upon the brow and, in parting from you now, this much let me avow—you are not wrong, who deem that my days have been a  dream.❞ ❝and i am tearing myself apart, piece by piece, losing the scattered remnants of what i once was, just trying to find where my shorelines begin and yours end.❞ ❝why does tragedy exist? because you are full of rage.❞ ❝where in the body is the soul located? i imagine it to be somewhere in the chest. some will say it rests in the pit of the stomach, but that is not where i feel my being resides. i want to know is that what this feeling inside my chest is? or is it something else unorthodox, yet homely?❞ ❝i wasn’t always a house on fire. but i’ve always been full of light.❞ ❝you are a church of broken glass and hallelujahs. you are haunted like every other holy thing.❞ ❝there is light in your eyes and dark in your soul, and i would not change a thing about you for all the treasures in the universe.❞ ❝from childhood i had never believed in permanence, and yet i had longed for it.❞ ❝why are you full of rage? because you are full of grief.❞ ❝for i have swallowed whole the demons of past, some yours, some mine, who have taken residence in between the crooks of my hollowed out bones, and haunted the only place i’ve ever been able to call home. they have burned themselves deep into memories of past, uninvited and unwelcome and have laid claim to the way my bones wrestle and rattle within my own skin. ❞

@shieldrevive || ash vs. the evil dead sentence starters || accepting!
Sometimes what you think you saw, it's exactly what you saw.
dean was chasing the creepy son of a bitch through the forest. intent upon killing it. two steps into the trap, he realized how badly he messed up when three sets of eyes turned into six. and they were around him in all corners. shit. shit. SHIT. lead right into a trap.
front teeth bit down into his bottom lip. adrenaline kicked in on high. finger on the trigger and boots planted firmly in the ground, keen eyes darted from one glowing set to the other. waiting to see which one was going to spring first. "c'mon, bitch. let's go.. which one of you is gonna grow a pair?" his heart's pounding. and he feels high.
from the shadows, the bushes rustle and the first creature LUNGES. it moves so fast, the entire body looks like a blur. dean's gun raises--he fires and a howl echoes in the air as not only a bullet but--and don't get him fucking wrong but he swears to hell and back he sees a something black and silver cut through the air and hit it as the same damn time. not only that but it ricochets off that beast and bounces. to a tree. into a shadow. howling ensues. and crunching bone. bodies hitting the floor. one. two. claws scraping at the ground before they go still.
Tumblr media
another pounces towards him. three left. two more from behind. dean gets the shot off at the first but the other two fall at his feet. bodies lifeless and limp, shriveling into husks that resemble skeletons with stitched fur and teeth. and what pins both their necks to the ground? metal. nothing he's ever seen before. black. silver. and apparently deadly as hell. 'is that what the hell i saw?' and the answer he gets from the stranger coming out of the dark is exactly what he would expect. cryptic. but not. simple.
dean stood staring at the stranger with a look of sheer fascination on his face. lips parted. a streak of red running up his cheek. one that will surely dry out into an inky brown. but now? it's dark and glistening in the moonlight. not shed by his own hand. not even the slightest.
"okay great. but what the hell are those and how.. how did you DO that?"

Series of lyric starters taken from songs by fictional band The Hex Girls of the Scooby-Doo franchise. Feel free to adjust as necessary for RP purposes.
Hex Girl
❝I'm gonna cast a spell on you.❞
❝You're gonna do what I want you to.❞
❝Mix it up here in my little bowl, say a few words, and you'll lose control.❞
❝I'm a hex girl, and I'm gonna put a spell on you.❞
❝I'm a hex girl.❞
❝I'm gonna put a spell on you!❞
❝You'll feel the fog as I cloud your mind. You'll get dizzy when I make the sign.❞
❝You'll wake up in the dead of night missing me when I'm out of sight.❞
❝With this little cobweb potion, you'll fall into dark devotion.❞
❝If you ever lose affection, I can change your whole direction.❞
❝We're gonna put a spell on all of you!❞
Earth, Wind, Fire and Air
❝We may look bad, but we don't care.❞
❝We ride the wind; we feel the fire. To love the Earth is our one desire.❞
❝Love the Earth; it's only fair. It's one big Earth that we must share.❞
❝We love the Earth with all our fire. It's in our souls, our one desire.❞
❝Nature is a precious gift. It will make your spirits lift.❞
❝Love the Earth with all your fire; it's in your soul, your one desire.❞
❝To love the Earth is our one desire.❞
The Witch's Ghost
❝We've got a ghost problem; I can feel it in my bones.❞
❝A witch's ghost problem.❞
❝I don't think that we're alone.❞
❝I can feel a cold chill running up my spine.❞
❝I can feel a cold hand, and it isn't mine.❞
❝It's the witch's ghost! She's what we fear the most.❞
❝It's the witch's ghost. If she catches us, we're toast.❞
❝There's nothing worse than her curse.❞
❝The witch's ghost is on the loose.❞
❝We got a ghost problem, and the answer's in the book.❞
❝A witch's ghost problem; she can cook you with one look.❞
❝She's a wicked banshee flying through the sky. She can make you shiver with her evil eye.❞
❝It's the witch's ghost. She's what we fear the most. It's the witch's ghost. If she catches us, we're toast.❞
❝Her fire burns. She has returned. The witch's ghost is on the loose.❞
❝She has appeared. She's getting near. She's almost here!❞
❝It's the witch's ghost.❞
❝She's what we fear the most.❞
❝If she catches us, we're toast.❞
❝We've got a problem.❞
It's a Mystery
❝He's such a mystery that haunts each lonely night.❞
❝I'm scared I might wake up, cause if I should wake up then I'll be alone in the morning light.❞
❝It's a mystery, what he does to me.❞
❝Can I make him see how I feel?❞
❝It's a mystery; could he care for me?❞
❝Will my fantasy ever be real, or will he stay a mystery?❞
❝He's such a mystery.❞
❝Why can't I let him know just how much I love him, how much I think of him? But I'm scared to tell him so.❞
Zoinks!
❝When a creature is near, and it's your worst fear, and your poor heart is pounding away... When the fiend's after you, what're you gonna do?❞
❝Oh, you try to scream, but all you can say is 'Zoinks!'❞
❝Let's just disappear till the coast is clear!❞
❝There's a doorway in view, but you can't get through. And there's no chance to run away. You try hiding instead, with a lampshade on your head.❞
❝You want to scream but all you can say is 'Zoinks!'❞
❝Let's get out of here!❞
❝Get your tail in gear!❞
❝Like, let's scram!❞
❝See the shadow on the wall. It's a monster big and tall. It's the ugliest one of all chasing you down the hall!❞
Those Meddling Kids
❝There's a monster scaring everybody. Spooky footprints, kinda strange and muddy, and a terrified town that doesn't know what to do.❞
❝When it seems there's no one left to call now, when it seems there's no hope left at all now, that's when the Mystery Machine comes screeching into view.❞
❝Here come those meddling kids to join the chase.❞
❝No creep can keep them away.❞
❝When monsters all disappear without a trace, the kids find the clues right away.❞
❝The villains never learn that crime doesn't pay, and they'll regret what they did, and they'll be sorry.❞
❝If they were lucky, they'd have gotten away if it wasn't for those meddling kids.❞
❝Catchin' monsters can be pretty hairy. Glowing eyes and fangs are pretty scary.❞
❝Everyone in town has tried to find a hideaway.❞
❝There's no place left for them to hide now, and there's nothing that they haven't tried now.❞
❝But just in time our gang shows up to save the day!❞
Who Do Voodoo
❝Who do voodoo? We do voodoo.❞
❝Who do voodoo? We do.❞
❝You wanna celebrate? You wanna get it straight from the girls who amaze and shock you.❞
❝You want some Hex time? It ain't no crime.❞
❝Come feel our magic. We will rock you!❞
Petrified Bride
❝He wants my hand. I'll have to think.❞
❝He'll never have my heart.❞
❝Wanna wed, but I fled.❞
❝I need to hear those two words.❞
❝I need to say those two words.❞
❝I wanna cake with a bride and groom.❞
❝I wanna ring, and I want it soon!❞
Trap of Love
❝Your unfeeling heart imprisons me. Careless eyes too blind to see.❞
❝Empty words, an iron cage. Broken heart, bleeding rage.❞
❝Can't wait for you and me; it's time I break free.❞
❝Trap of love, snared by desire.❞
❝Trap of love, burned by your fire.❞
❝Beware the trap of love.❞
❝Let me be; it's time we part. Set me free, uncage my heart.❞
❝Can't wait for you and me; it's time for you to see.❞
Good Bad Girls

there are not many things existing in this world powerful enough to capture a GHOST within a snare - but his words reach through the air, breaking through the realm separating the living from the dead, lassoing tightly around his throat and holding the fleeing man in place. old sentiment resonates like a passing summer storm rumbling in the distance, stirring movement within an empty cage of flesh and bone. it is gentle, far more gentle than the usual barrage of explosions and terror he typically harbors inside, and yet - in that split second, the soldier finds himself doing everything within his power not to crack by the soft tremors quivering inside him.
the shadowy silhouette pauses, the beacon at his back casting a light so grand he can feel its warmth touching his shoulders, reaching through leather and armor and scar tissue - but it also thrusts his own shadow forward - looming, magnified and monstrous. self - horror is another chain around his neck, holding him in place - and the soldier writhes against the teethers keeping him bound, seething with rebellious outrage, but the snare is strong and it keeps him rooted ( for now. ) he does not turn though, vehemently keeping his body faced away from the captain ( hiding. ) dark hair curtains his face, masking his expression. he uses it to his advantage ;; anything at his disposal to keep out of sight - remain unseen.
Tumblr media
the specter draws in a breath and closes his eyes for a brief moment, fortifying his shaky composure. in a slow controlled exhale, he releases some of the tremors quivering inside of him, squeezing his hand into a tight fist. blood oozes through the cracks of his skin - sticky, sickly, dripping to the floor - and the nausea it stimulates has him frantically looking towards the far end of the room, his way out ...
back to the realm of the dead.
go. go now, before he sees you and drags you back into the land of the living. OR WORSE. before he gets his fingers stuck in you and you drag him into the ABYSS.
composure resets. thoughts slow and focus on his next mission objective, empty eyes mapping out his escape path. the ghost offers the man a parting sentiment, a desperate attempt to convince his tail to let him go.
❛  i don't need you to. ❜ detached. bleak. ❛  i can take care of myself. ❜

he once presumed that nothing could compare to the blistering sun within the months of june and july in cousins.    everything good once happened within those months,    they were without a shadow of a doubt the best days out of the year.    when they were all still youthful and unworried,    when they still had two mother’s to love them more than anything that made up either of their worlds.    years later and they’re one mom down, with a myriad of mistakes checked off the list,    cousins had never been the same again.    it may no longer be as it once was,    when they were teenagers catalyzed by envy and grief, not quite yet subject to face their harshest realities,    but it was definitely just as magical with those that remained.    they found the magic after susannah was laid to rest,    that’s all they had to truly do — find the magic,    because it was never really gone.    not permanently,    not forever.    a slew of sincere and half defeated apologies, make-up slurpees, cold shoulders,    and at least one hundred bone crushing hugs later,    jeremiah graduated from finch and set on his travels as planned.    he took his best girl with her helicopter tail and set for southern europe,    italy and france exhaustively traversed with the last on his stop being spain.
remember when he thought no sun could compare to one that beamed over cousins?    that was until he found himself within the heart of the scorching spanish summers in madrid.    bronzed and sun-kissed, finding himself with every new experience, every impromptu decision, with every new memory. it always seems to be different suns that illuminate across the world, but that's not the case, it is he who shines distinctly in new places. he is ablaze in spain, and he burns under this man's gaze. "jeremiah,"    he responds easily over the spanish melodies soothingly purring through the restaurants speakers, his smile having stretched from ear to ear surely echoed in his tone.    the moment eyes had descended upon the man now seated across him at the bustling table of nine,    he swore he could see the very sunset in that man's smile,    untroubled waves lapping in the depths of his ocean eyes.    jeremiah's staggered and captivated all at once,    and it takes every ounce of restraint to not ask him to get the hell out of there with him.    "from america,    if you couldn’t tell."  his smile's constant. "andrés,    right?"
don't smile at me sentence starters, accepting. i don't think i caught your name.

Ginnnnnn I know I'm a one trick pony but from the Emotionally Charged Sentence Starters - ❝ no, i’m not okay. nothing is okay. it never is. but that’s just how i function most days. so i’ll be fine. ❞ - for Saeris & Blackwall rivalry??? (Or maybe it could also work for some angsty Saeris/Solas, whatever strikes your fancy) Happy writing!!!
Hiiiii okay I have some Blackwall & Saeris angst for you 🥰 This takes place during the Temple of Mythal quest.
I've combined it with this other prompt you sent in:
“Do you even listen to yourself?” AND/OR “It’s fine. It’s always the same damn story.”
@dadrunkwriting
Pairing: Saeris & Blackwall (rivalry) Rating: Mature CW: Death, violence, mild language WC: 1193
-
They never should have come to the Wilds. When Morrigan had told Saeris that they would be going to the Temple of Mythal in search of something that Corypheus was after, he expected to find a forest filled with empty ruins.
Instead, they found ancient elves guarding the temple. Elvhen who would attack anyone on sight, even him.
Saeris hated killing. It was necessary at times, yes, but it didn’t make him hate it any less. And this…
There was nothing left in the forest except tragedy.
When the sentinels had come out of the shadows and attacked them, there wasn’t time to think or try to communicate. There was only the fight for survival.
But when he’d been pinned to a tree by one of them, the sentinel had hesitated. He had seen something in Saeris. He had wanted to stop, he was stopping.
“Return to your host, blood-kin. We do not wish to kill, only to protect,” the sentinel had said in elvish.
“Nor I you,” Saeris had replied.
He had felt the sentinel’s aura, had felt the kinship – the connection. They didn’t need to fight. The Inquisition only wanted to stop Corypheus, not disturb the temple. They could find a compromise, surely. They could call off this needless violence.
The command to stop the fighting had almost left his lips when Saeris had heard the sound of metal and the crunch of bone. He had felt something warm and wet stain his hands as the sentinel crumpled in his arms. Blackwall had shoved his sword through the sentinel, and Saeris had felt him die, felt the way his aura had become cold and dark before fading entirely. And Blackwall had just stood over them, seemingly uncaring about the life he’d just destroyed.
The sentinel had fought Saeris and the others, yes, just the same as the other sentinels, but they were all bound to their duty. They were protecting the temple from outsiders – and for all intents and purposes, both the Inquisition and Saeris were outsiders. The sentinel was prepared to die, but he didn’t want to. Not like that. Not by his own people.
And not by a shem who would never understand.
They had continued through the Wilds toward the temple, the ache of it still throbbing in Saeris’ chest. He had cleaned the blood from his hands, but he could still feel it there, like it was still coating his skin. He couldn’t look at Blackwall. Fury was simmering in his veins – there had been so many innocent lives lost already. None of them deserved their fate, and Blackwall hasn’t even hesitated. He only saw one more life to take. Bitter grief laced through the fury, and Saeris’ mind began to numb.
Out of his peripheral vision, he saw Blackwall appear beside him.
“At some point, we need to talk about what happened back there,” Blackwall said.
“There is nothing to talk about,” Saeris said flatly.
“You’re angry with me because I protected you.”
Saeris glared at him. “I was handling it, I didn’t need protecting.”
“That elf had you pinned to a tree, a blade to your damned throat,” Blackwall argued. “Did you really expect to get out of that on your own?”
“I was handling it,” Saeris repeated, stopping short as he glared up at Blackwall. “The sentinel was bound to his duty to protect the temple, it wasn’t his fault.”
Blackwall stopped, his brows furrowing. “And I’m bound to my duty to protect you, Inquisitor. Same as everyone else, who were also fighting the sentinels, if you recall. Yet it’s my head on the chopping block.”
Saeris’ lip nearly curled. “He didn’t need to die. If you had taken a damned second you could have seen that he was about to back away. He didn’t want to kill me. None of them did.”
“Do you even listen to yourself?” Blackwall asked, shaking his head. “If I had waited, you might be dead right now, and that would be my failure. Be angry with me all you’d like, it doesn’t make you anything except for a damned hypocrite.”
Saeris’ jaw tightened as he held Blackwall’s gaze. He should relent. Blackwall was right, after all – Saeris couldn’t fault him for doing what he’d signed up for. And any other time, he might have thanked him for it. But he still felt that unrelenting, bitter rage coursing through him, not fading in the slightest.
“What’s done is done,” Saeris said. “There’s no point in talking about it. It’s fine.”
Blackwall laughed bitterly. “Of course, Inquisitor,” he said. “‘It’s fine.’ That’s always your line, isn’t it? It’s always the same damn story with you – you lie and brush it off, even if it festers in you like a disease.”
Something deep in Saeris snapped, everything feeling like it was flooding out at once. “No, I’m not okay. Is that what you want to hear?” he seethed. “Nothing is okay. It never is. But that’s how I survive every day of this gods-damned nightmare. So yes, I’m going to say that I’m fine. Because I don’t know how to be anything else without fucking falling apart.”
Blackwall stared at him for a long moment, his face relaxing. He sighed. “Take it from an old soldier – that never lasts. Everything you’ve buried will always come back to bite you in the ass, whether you want it to or not.” His voice grew quieter then. “I would know.”
His words stung – Saeris wasn’t sure if it was because of what he now knew about Blackwall’s past, or if it was because the longer he knew Blackwall, the more he realized they had far too much in common than he would have liked.
Blackwall continued. “I know it won’t bring back the sentinel, but for what it’s worth – I am sorry. You’re entitled to your grief. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t do it again in a heartbeat to protect you, but I regret having to do it.”
Saeris sighed, rubbing his forehead. “I know.” His hands fell to his sides. He wasn’t ready to fully forgive what had happened. But he looked up at Blackwall and said, “We should get back to the others before they get to the temple.”
Blackwall straightened. “You’re not going to send me back? Before, at Skyhold – you said that if I crossed you again, I’d be confined to Skyhold.”
And he had. After finding out about Blackwall’s lie, he had been reluctant to trust him again. But this – this was not a matter of lies and truth.  
“Despite everything, you did nothing wrong, Blackwall,” Saeris said quietly. “I hate what happened, but your loyalty is something I can understand.”
Blackwall held out his hand. “Truce, then?”
Saeris stared at the hand in confusion. “What’s this?”
Blackwall frowned. “You’re supposed to shake it,” he offered helpfully.
Saeris raised a brow. “Is… that a shemlen thing?”
Blackwall looked down at his hand and turned it over. “You know… I don’t really know the answer to that.”
Saeris gave him a half-hearted smile, despite everything. “Alright. Truce,” he agreed.
Blackwall’s face softened, and he smiled in return. “Glad to hear it.”

Starkid’s Nightmare Time Sentence Starters: Abstinence Camp
I’m not quite sure if anyone else has done this yet, but here is a list of sentence starters taken from Starkid’s Nightmare Time season 2 episode 2, part 2: Abstinence Camp. Some of the lines have been edited to fit as sentence starters, and feel free to change pronouns/add names/etc as you see fit. Tw: food, implied hangover, pregnancy (although no one is actually pregnant), murder, weapons (specifically axes), sexual themes/language, violence, broken bones.

“What?! What is it?! Has someone else been murdered?!”
“Do you have a bar of soap over there?”
“So...you think it’s true?”
“The five missing kids? You think something like that could really happen here?”
“It’ll shock you...the secrets in this town.”
“Isn’t that a little far-fetched?”
“Guess we’ll never know...unless we put it to the test.”
“I was kidding.”
“Oh. Hahaha. Good one.”
“Maybe this stupid legend persists because none of these nerds have the guts to prove it’s bullshit.”
“I mean, we’d be...experimenting. For the sake of scientific discovery.”
“Isn’t science your thing?”
“Are you suggesting that we...maybe...consolidate down to one shower?”

“Hey. Look at me.”
“They need us.”
“We’re not going to let anymore of them down.”
“That’s it. I’m calling the police.”
“I don’t think you’ve thought this through.”
“You think they’re just come here and cart off the bodies?”
“They’re gonna find everything.”
“You ready for that? For the whole town to know what you did?”
“Don’t call me that.”
“But that’s what you are. Isn’t it? A dirty boy/girl/pal?”
“Yes...I’m a dirty boy/girl/pal.”
“You’re absolutely filthy.”
“Oh. My. Gosh. Oh my gosh!”
“_____ had something in her/his/their teeth and I was gonna lick it out.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Just calm down and...uh...we’ll talk.”
“I’ll handle it!”
“This sucks. What am I supposed to do for the rest of the summer?”
“Well, you know what they say: Never waste a locked door.”
“Holy shit! He’s/She’s/They’re real!”
“We’re busting outta here.”
“_____, come back!”
“Stay away from me!”
“I’m not gonna hurt you, _____.”
“I wanna help you.”
“All I ever wanted was to help you kids.”
“Do you know where we’re going?”
“Maybe this isn’t such a good idea.”
“I mean, how big is this forest anyway?”
“My dad says this forest is as big or small as it needs to be.”
“Shh. Do you hear that?”
“Alright, campers. Keep up. I got a special activity planned for you. Hide and seek. Hold the seek.”
“Who’s there?!?”
“If you can’t keep your hands to yourself, I’ll cut ‘em off!”
“Oh! I think I broke my leg!”
“You looked real cool right up until the end there.”
“Tripped at the finish line. Story of my life.”
“Hey...I’m not into jocks.”
“Did it just get cold out here?”
“So, you see. I had to keep it a secret.”
“There’s something about this forest. Things grow here. They grow fast, and big, and...different.”
“It wasn’t what I intended.”
“Oh, god...it’s happening again!”
“Well, he/she/they make(s) it look easy.”
“Hey! Leave her/him/them alone!”
“I’m over here!”
“I’m right here!”
“It’s working, _____!”
“What are you waiting for? Kill them.”
“You’re gonna believe her/him/them over me?”
“You will do as I say, _____! I am your father/mother/parent!”
“Oh my god...what have you done!?”
“I think I understand you. Maybe we understand each other.”
“Come on, _____. Let’s get out of here.”
“Not so fast. The summer’s not over yet.”
“And that is how you weave a basket! Alright, everybody. Hop to it.”
“So...the camp directors disappear and we’re supposed to pretend nothing happened?”
“Like, this is weird. Right?”
“Just shut up and weave a basket.”
“I’m not gonna let a few bumps in the road spoil my summer.”
“We’re gonna have some good, wholesome fun. Or else.”
“Who put her/him/them in charge?”

For the sentence starters, could we please get ler!Tokoyami/Dark Shadow and lee!Hawks? "And so the student becomes the master?" That headcanon from awhile back was so cute!
I hadn't realized how badly I've been wanting to write for Tokoyami lately! This was so fun! I've gotcha, anon! :D
“Fumikage~” Hawk’s called out from his hiding spot, sending chills down the mentioned boy’s spine. This had been Hawks new favorite thing as of late- sneaking up on his unsuspecting student and tickling him to near tears. While Tokoyami didn’t completely hate it- he was tired of all the ambushes. Thus he decided on a plan.
“Hawks, this is childish.” He tried to sound stern as he turned around to where he thought Hawks hid. “Stop acting foolish and come out.”
“Oh I’ll come out alright- right behind you!” Hawks was on him within seconds, fingers finding his ribs with ease. “Take this!”
Tokoyami arched with a laugh, doubling over in a fit of giggles as Hawks gently pressed into the spaces between his bones. “Ahehahahhaha! D-Dahahahark Shahahadow! Now!” He cried.
On command, the shadowed beast shot out from the trees, zooming in in such a way Hawks had no time to prepare. “Whoa, hang on-oof!” His back hit the soft grassy terrain, Dark Shadow pinning him down gently. “I got him, Fumi!” He cried out, giggling as the student took his place on Hawks hips, cracking his knuckles. “Good work, Dark Shadow. Now, prepare yourself, fiend!”
“Ha! Brave words coming from my student! Try all you like, it’s not gonna woohoohohohohohrk!” Hawks immediately fell into a fit of laughter as ten fingers found his stomach and waist, digging in gently. “Ahehahhahahahahahaha! Noohoohoohohow hahahahhahhang ooohohohoohohn a mihihiihiihihnute!”
“Heh, did you really think I would have come today unprepared?” Tokoyami snickered, eyes widening in amusement when Hawks let out his own chirps of laughter. “You do that too? I thought I was the only one!”
“Ahehahahahhahahahahaha! Kihihihiiihihihid! Pleheahhahahahhse! Ahhhh not the wihihihiihihihihihngs!” His laughter increased-along with his chirps- as his wings were furrowly burrowed into by Dark Shadow.
“And so the student becomes the master.” Tokoyami nodded in satisfaction as he and his quirk brought their teacher to breathless tears. “Balance has been restored.”

well I’m about to go to bed, but I’ll give u an ask! Or many… hehehe 🤭
how are you doing?
what do u do to get inspired?
are fingers technically thumbs? Or are thumbs technically fingers?
if Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi had super powers, what would they be?
do u eat or drink soup?
I think that should at least make u a little less bored. Now I better get to bed 😅
night!! 💜
Aw, thank you Gem!
1. How are you doing?
Uh...we're doing okay. It's been a bad past seven months, what with trying to search for jobs and doing interviews and getting rejected from them. I actually have an interview tomorrow and I am scared as shit because it's a lab job and I haven't done any lab work since undergrad and I especially haven't done anything that this particular company does in term of DNA analysis so it's sending my anxiety into overdrive. But other than that, I'm doing okay. Mental health is...iffy, but that's just because everything has seemed so bleak recently that it's hard to find things to be happy about (but I have, so don't worry)
2. What do u do to get inspired?
Uh, if I'm in a bit of a brain fog or I'm having difficulty coming up with an idea, i'll either watch an anime or I'll read a manga or watch a favorite tv show of mine and then from there, my brain will start firing off ideas. Or I'll go through my writing prompt masterlist and look at all of the sentence starters that I've reblogged/accumulated and see if anything piques my interest
3. are fingers technically thumbs? Or are thumbs technically fingers?
Thumbs aren't actually considered fingers. It's considered a digit or an appendage, but it's not technically a finger, just because of the bone structure and because it moves differently than the other finger. But really, who knows *shrugs*
4. If Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi had super powers, what would they be?
Honestly, because Chen Yuzhi is a doctor, I always think that he has healing abilities, if that was to be his superpower. As for Jiang Yuelou, I think his would be some sort of like...either super strength (though he's already pretty strong in the drama) or like...dark magic/darkness manipulation. Like, can manipulate shadows and what not. I don't know, those are usually the powers I go for whenever I'm writing anything supernatural related for them
4. do u eat or drink soup?
You can do both, but it just depends on the container you put the soup in. Put it in a cup? You drink soup. Put it in a bowl? You eat soup
But thank you for the questions, this was fun!

Rudy Francisco poetry into starters // Part 1
One of my favorite poets is Rudy Francisco; he puts out poetry that’s been well known to pull out so many different emotions for me. I decided to turn them into starters and show my appreciation to him. I hope you enjoy them! 
Remember, when sending to a multi muse to specify! 
Drowning Fish
“You look tired today.”
“Getting out of bed has become a magic trick and I’m probably the worst magician I know.”
“This sadness has been the only clean shirt I have left and my washing machine has been broken for months.”
“My daughter is 4 years old and I’m not sure if I’m a good parent.”
“I always wanted us to start over but I guess you gotta be careful with what you ask for.”
“I guess when you pray for something, you have to be a little more specific.”
“Crickets have been known to eat their own wings and I, too, have a tendency to destroy what helps get me off the ground.”
“I’m not in a good place right now.”
“That’s not a polite answer, so instead I’ll pretend it’s Halloween and jack o lantern my face into something acceptable.”
“Sometimes there’s a help me chained to the ankle of I’m doing okay.”
“Sometimes I’m fine is the quickest way to say I don’t want to talk about.”
“I feel like I’m sinking down to the bottom, like I’m running out of air but I made a promise to myself. I won’t be another drowning fish.”
“I heard that if you take a deep breath and relax, the human body will just naturally float on top of the water.”
“I know there is a better version of me somewhere in the future, they are staring at me in this moment saying thank you for not giving up on us.”
“A few days ago, I was reading and I saw a run on sentence. I thought you know, it could’ve just ended right there but it found a reason to keep going. I smiled and said same.”
My Honest Poem
“I don’t know how to swim.”
“I’m a sucker for a girl with a nice smile and clean sneakers.”
“I’m still learning how to whisper.”
“I was born feet first and I’ve been backwards ever since.”
“I’ve been told I give very bad hugs. People say it’s like I’m trying to escape. Sometimes I am.”
“Secretly, I get very nervous when anyone gets close enough to hear me breath.”
“I find myself dedicating time to things that will only last a few moments. That’s also why I tend to fall in love with women who won’t ever love me back.”
“Relationships remind me that I’m not afraid of height or falling but what will happen to my body when it hits the ground.”
“Now, I can’t even tell who’s trying to give me a compliment.”
“I know this sounds weird but sometimes I wonder what my bed sheets say when I’m not around.”
“I’m afraid that if I let you see my skeletons, you’ll grind my bones into powder and get high on my fault lines.”
“I enjoy people watching and laughing for absolutely no reason at all.”
“My hobbies include editing my life story, hiding behind metaphors, and trying to convince my shadow that I’m someone worth following.”
“I know heaven is full of music and God listens to my heartbeat on his iPod. It reminds him that we’ve still got work to do.”
