I Know I’ve Been Absent Again But I Promise There’s Legitimate Reasons And I’m Sorry And I Do Wanna Come Back Real Soon
the title says it all slfkjkjahgh
so i keep saying i’m back and then i’m not back and i feel like a liar but in my defence, life seems dead set on throwing curveball after curveball and i’m struggling to just keep up with it. i’m trying desperately to get together some semblance of a routine/schedule but it’s proving difficult.
that said, i’ll have a little over a month off work soon becauuuuuuse i’m getting top surgery! 
on the 29th of this month to be exact, three days after my birthday. damn.
so i’ve been prepping for that whilst also going on a trip, working a lot, and losing a loved one, and i haven’t had much time or energy for anything but playing red dead redemption 2. 
but again, i wanna be here! i wanna write! I just... need to find the time.
also if anyone would like to help me out, i do have a surgery recovery wishlist on gifthero: you can find the link by clicking here. i’m not sure if y’all can see ‘confirmed gifts’ (stuff people have already bought) but if you wanna be sure i don’t have something before you buy it, feel free to message me and ask! you’ll probably need to message me for an address anyway lol
don’t feel like you have to though! i just figure, what the hell, i’ll post it just in case - my friend keeps hounding me to post it on all my social media so that’s what i’ve been doing lmao
anyway, i’ll have a lot of downtime after recovery so if i feel up to it , maybe i can get some writing done then. if not, well, i wanna be here more often and i’m gonna keep trying til it sticks tbh 
love yall!

DEXTER SEASON TWO SENTENCE STARTERS (PART TWO)
Lines taken from 2x07-2x12 of the show Dexter. Feel free to change pronouns or edit in any way to better fit your needs. Here is part one.
❛ I thrive on chaos. But this is good, too. ❜
❛ I had to do a little creative problem-solving at someone else’s expense. ❜
❛ Pardon my tits. ❜
❛ Are you trying to fuck her or set her on fire? ❜
❛ Sometimes the truth speaks from a peaceful place. It’s taken me a long time to find that place, but I think I have, and it’s telling me you’re not the right one for me. I’m so sorry. ❜
❛ Is that what I am? Clean? ‘cause I don’t feel that way at all. ❜
❛ No, I won’t do that. I won’t let you turn me into you. ❜
❛ Hope you don’t expect me to comment on that so you can record it on your hidden tape recorder. I wasn’t born yesterday. ❜
❛ Your past is a bigger mystery than fucking Jimmy Hoffa. ❜
❛ No matter what you try, no matter when, no matter how hard you work, I’ll always be a step ahead of you for one simple reason. I own you. ❜
❛ When I’m alone and it’s quiet, I get scared shitless, like I start hearing what’s really going on inside. ❜
❛ 'Cause when you’re around, I kind of feel like I can deal with anything, you know? ❜
❛ I’ve always worked best in the shadows, and that’s where I have to stay. ❜
❛ You can’t go back. You know that. ❜
❛ You are not allowed to talk about anyone I date as long as you’re seeing little Miss “pardon my tits.” ❜
❛ She is obviously a vampire. A gross english-titty vampire. ❜
❛ Can’t change who I am. I’m crass and dirty, and…I have a very filthy mind. ❜
❛ Jesus Christ. They sell anyone a gun in Florida, won’t they? ❜
❛ That man. He wasn’t trying to rob you. He was trying to kill you. ❜
❛ Nothing you could do,___, would scare me. ❜
❛ Whatever comes, we’ll get through this together. I’m not leaving your side. ❜
❛ I need to embrace who I am, who I’ve always been. ❜
❛ It’s like I’ve been living underwater, holding my breath, and now I can finally breathe. ❜
❛ ___ almost had me believing it was possible to change, to become something else, as if that ever really happens. I’ve always known what I am. ❜
❛ I’m finding it’s best to accept things you can’t change, you know? ❜
❛ Is this the monster that you keep telling me about? ❜
❛ Trust me, when you meet the monster, you’ll know. ❜
❛ Nice. My subconscious isn’t even bothering with symbolism. ❜
❛ I feel…such regret, which is rare for me. But not that I don’t mess up. I do…just never so stupendously. ❜
❛ If they’re looking for proof, they won’t find it. Not here at least. ❜
❛ Then maybe you should come with us, because who knows what secrets will come ❜ pouring out of me once the drinks start flowing. ❜
❛ I’m done with it and you. Did I not make that clear last night? ❜
❛ Those friends of yours, they didn’t even know you. They just see the mask, but I see it all. ❜
❛ Can’t live with her. Can’t kill her. ❜
❛ Fuck! I’m talking about my feelings. What the fuck is your problem? ❜
❛ I’ve always sensed there was something… off about him. Like he’s hiding in plain sight. ❜
❛ If you got in the middle of this and you got hurt… ❜
❛ The only way I can help you is if you turn yourself in. ❜
❛ Don’t you disappear on me. ❜
❛ I want you to know that you meant a lot to me, more than you know, and… I just want to thank you for that. ❜
❛ If I never see her again, it’ll be too soon. ❜
❛ Sleep would be nice, but there’s too much to do. ❜
❛ Okay, I may be sleeping with him, but it doesn’t mean he tells me shit or listens to me about anything, so stop asking! ❜
❛ That’s right, motherfucker! It’s over. ❜
❛ I knew there was something with you. But this shit? ❜
❛ What can I say? You were right about me. I never held it against you. I don’t now. ❜
❛ It’s a graze wound. Minor tissue abrasion. No hemorrhage along the bullet track. Sorry. I think I’m gonna live. ❜
❛ If you’re not gonna let me go, then kill me now. Just get it over with. ❜
❛ You’re a killer. I catch killers. ❜
❛ So it’s okay to take a life as long as you get a paycheck for it? ❜
❛ Either kill me or set me free. ❜
❛ Taking a life is one thing, but the care and feeding of it is another. ❜
❛ I’m generally confused most of the time. ❜
❛ You ever care about anyone? Then you shouldn’t have to ask. 'Cause when you care about someone, you do what you have to do. ❜
❛ I remember when life was easy, when the only question I worried about was “who’s next?” Now it’s: “How can I dodge my protective detail? "What should I do with my hostage?” These are not easy questions. ❜
❛ It’s not about what I think. It’s all about the evidence. ❜
❛ Hair-pulling may not be manly, but it’s very effective. ❜
❛ If he wanted me dead, I’d be dead by now. ❜
❛ You are the only one I can count on, jackass. ❜
❛ It puts a pit in my stomach that I can only interpret as… sadness. ❜
❛ You working on an exit strategy? I’m afraid that’s not gonna happen. ❜
❛ How come there’s never a circus when you need one? ❜
❛ What was that shit last night? Some kind of fucking scare tactic? ❜
❛ Don’t test me. I could have killed you. I didn’t. ❜
❛ You’re actually angry. I’ve never seen you angry. This is good. ❜
❛ I should warn you. You can’t play on my feelings. I don’t have any. ❜
❛ It’s a tough job. It can wear on even the best of us. ❜
❛ I yell a lot…and bitch and complain, and I keep expecting people to guess what I want, but I never really say it. ❜
❛ And that was exciting, you know? The not knowing. What might happen, what could be. It was all possibility. ❜
❛ Your life is going to rest in the hands of the criminal justice system you put all your faith in. I wish you the best of luck. ❜
❛ You need help. Let me help you. ❜
❛ You don’t have to do this! You don’t have to kill this man! ❜
❛ Sorry it had to go down like this. But there really was no other way. ❜
❛ Stay away. Just stay away from me. ❜
❛ Did you happen to be stuffing a human leg into a garbage bag at that point? ❜
❛ There’s that anger again. You got to let that out. ❜
❛ You’re spinning. Let me help you. It’s only a matter of time before you’ll hurt someone else. ❜
❛ Take responsibility for who you are. ❜
❛ Why can’t you just let me go? ❜
❛ If I got to choose a person… A real person… to be like, out of anyone, it’d be you. ❜
❛ Who joined who in the shower this morning? ❜
❛ For such a neat monster, I’m making an awfully big mess. ❜
❛ Maybe this is how evil works. Destroying everything it touches. ❜
❛ I’ve been held prisoner in a cabin for two fucking days. Fucking hellhole. ❜
❛ After everything we’ve been through lately, I just want… to be together with you guys. ❜
❛ You told me to take responsibility for what I am. You were right. ❜
❛ I can’t live in this house of cards anymore, waiting for it all to fall down. I need to do something, you know? ❜
❛ If I do this, I need a day to get my affairs in order. ❜
❛ Mention that when they interview you for the story of my life. ❜
❛ Don’t leave me in this cage, anything could happen. ❜
❛ I lie to everyone I know… except my victims right before I kill them. It’s hard to establish much of a rapport there. ❜
❛ Sorry about the cage. ❜
❛ I’ve always been curious to try. Do you have any weed? ❜
❛ Love’s a battlefield. Or in your case, a restraining order. ❜
❛ When a pretty girl smiles and bats her eyelashes, we’re powerless to resist. ❜
❛ I met with a lawyer yesterday. He helped me prepare a living trust that gives you control of all my assets in the event of my death or… certain other situations. ❜
❛ God. Go away. This is creepy. ❜
❛ I’m free tonight, you wanna stop by? We’ll have beer, a couple of steaks? I wanna talk to you about something. ❜
❛ I just need you to know that… you and the kids are very important to me. No matter what happens, I want you to always know that. ❜
❛ I know I’ve been taking things slow with us, but it’s not because I don’t have feelings for you. It’s more like I have too many feelings, and I just wanna make sure to get it right. ❜
❛ I want you gone. Tonight. ❜
❛ I’ve spent a lifetime keeping up my guard, watching my back, wearing my mask. Relief was never in sight until now. ❜
❛ Lately, I was starting to feel like I had my head pretty far up my ass. ❜
❛ You decide who you are, who you want to be…and you hold onto that and ride it out. ❜
❛ I need some help! Just open the door! I’m being held captive. ❜
❛ Damn, it’s good to see another face. I never thought I would. ❜
❛ When something beyond reason happens, it turns skeptics into believers. ❜
❛ If you believe that God makes miracles, you have to wonder if Satan has a few up his sleeve. ❜
❛ I can’t exactly feel their pain, but I can appreciate it. ❜
❛ I kinda forgot who I was. I got it straight now. ❜
❛ The term is homicidal maniac. Not that I’m judging. ❜
❛ A public place. You thought I was gonna…That I would slip my needle into your neck? ❜
❛ You’re afraid of me now, aren’t you? ❜
❛ You’re emotionally color-blind. You use the right words, you pantomime the right behavior, but feelings never come to pass. ❜
❛ You know the dictionary definition of emotions: longing, joy, sorrow…You have no idea of what any of those things actually feel like. ❜
❛ I created a monster of my own. ❜
❛ What did you do to make her so pathetically crazy for you? Does your dick dance? ❜
❛ What’re we doing home in the middle of the day? She asked, hoping for sex. ❜
❛ Why? Why do I have to make up my mind? ❜
❛ I’ve never put much weight onto the idea of a higher power. But if I didn’t know better, I’d have to believe that some force out there wants me to keep doing what I’m doing. ❜
❛ As it turns out, nobody mourns the wicked. ❜
❛ Am I evil? Am I good? I’m done asking those questions. I don’t have the answers. ❜

      It was too little too late when Spike realised that he had given away secret information without meaning to, a fact that mostly irritated him more than anything else. What was it with these people and their damned curiosity? His brow furrowed at her teasing statement, soon followed by a roll of the eyes. “Please. Whether I read or not, I wouldn’t touch those bloody books with a nine foot pole. It’s bad enough knowing what I know from secondhand ramblings. I know the ‘supernatural’ is meant to be kept a secret and all that, but even so, it’s unbelievable how incredibly wrong that portrayal of vampires is.”
voices-ringing-out​:
-
      The corner of Spike’s lips quirked upward a bit as he regarded her for a moment. “Hard to believe, almost, but I suppose the things people put value on in this world have always been bizarre.” He went quiet a moment later upon hearing her question. Catching himself, he replied, “I don’t read. Seems a waste of time to me, I get anything I need from the real world.”
      It wasn’t a true response, but what business of hers was it what he read? Actually he preferred to keep it no one’s business but his own, for a variety of different reasons… actually, he hoped he had put the last book he’d been paging through away before she showed up…
The quirk of his lips drew a response in kind, unconsciously matched but for her own reasons. Thera didn’t require or expect anyone to agree with her on the matter - in fact those that did, who knew what they were looking at, could end up being competition. But none of that fell under Spike’s section of ‘need to know’, and she wasn’t going to try convincing him anyway.
More interesting was how quickly Captain Confident went on the defensive, and she nipped the inside of her lip to pretend she hadn’t seen. Or that he hadn’t already given himself away with his protests about the dog-ears. What was the vampire hiding, she wondered. Harlequin? Mills and Boon? An unironic purchase of 50 Shades of Grey? “What happened? Did the Twilight saga put you off for good?”

      One eyebrow arched over steel-blue eyes as Spike lifted a cup to his lips, taking a long drink of the coffee within before setting it down. He shifted in his seat and spread his hands in a decidedly unapologetic gesture. “They’re books, not the queen’s fine bloody china. ‘sides, I’m not that bad about it. What’s a few dog ears.”
Tumblr media
“Some books are worth more than any Queen’s fine china.” All most people ever learned from a china pattern was to paint flowers and make a fool of themselves on an episode of ‘Antique Roadshow’. “Although …” Reluctantly admitted, “I sometimes need a little bit of convincing about paperbacks, myself.” Those were a mixed lot, mass produced to be disposable, but the principle more or less stood. “What sort of stuff do you read, anyway?”

Okay, so… yeah. I’m trying to get active again. (And I’m trying out mun icons again and yes, it’s Gabriel from Supernatural/Richard Speight Jr in general… again. I do what I want.) I’m not making any promises because we all know I’m a disaster disgused as a functioning human adult.
But anyway, I’m working closing shifts tomorrow and Thursday, and have doctors’ appointments on Friday, but the rest of the time I’m gonna try and get back into the groove of things. In the meantime, feel free to send memes. I may have open starters for various muses too - just search the character’s name and “open starter” to check!

@summerxmelodies​ said,  ❝ don’t pretend like you understand. ❞
Tumblr media
      Cain tipped his head back to finish the last of his beer; a slow motion, not in any rush - both because he had not needed to act with much haste in centuries, and because he had no desire to approach the subject with any semblance of swiftness. He would have much rather let the subject lie entirely, if he had been honest, but clearly that was not an option. At least not for now, and not with this individual.
      “Ironic, isn’t it,” he said, leaning forward but remaining seated in his armchair as he studied her. “--that you are telling me not to pretend that I understand, while simultaneously pretending yourself that you have any knowledge of whether or not I do.” 
      He gestured at the silver platter on the coffee table, upon which sat the tea set he had kept carefully pristine all these years, brought out only for ‘special occasions’. He hadn’t been sure this was one such occasion - and still wasn’t - but had entertained his own desire to bring the teapot out regardless, brewing mint tea with honey (both from his own garden) for his unexpected guest. “So, firstly - you’re wrong. Secondly, please, drink your tea. It might help unwind you.”

@therapardalis​ sent BOROMIR a headcanon meme from these prompts: 15. someone they used to view positively, but now view negatively
Tumblr media
      “... my father. It seemed he could do no wrong as a boy; it is that sort of starry-eyed hero worship most sons have for their fathers that gripped me for most of my early years. It was made ever simpler by how he treated me, as his golden firstborn. Only as I grew older did I realise how starkly the differences were in his handling of me and his handling of the others around us. In particular Faramir; though it oft-times was subtle, the message from our father was clear - where I could do no wrong, Faramir could do no right. It began to vex me, but what is there for me to do? There is nothing I could say to change my father’s mind, nor anything I could do to heal the wounds his words have caused in my brother. In no other affairs have I ever felt as torn between two loyalties as I do with them.”

But anyway, I’m working closing shifts tomorrow and Thursday, and have doctors’ appointments on Friday, but the rest of the time I’m gonna try and get back into the groove of things. In the meantime, feel free to send memes. I may have open starters for various muses too - just search the character’s name and “open starter” to check!
