[whump-quotes]

The idea that tears are in any way beautiful is just that: an idea. In reality, crying people look miserable and small. There was no beauty in this moment, only sadness.

Kyōgoku Natsuhiko, The Summer of the Ubume

when you see a fake quote attributed to an ancient author

#Not a quote #Me trying to find the sources of some of these quotes

[whump-quotes]

"I feared everything there is to fear. It made me strong."

- Shadow and Bone, Netflix

I made a change to the rules - or not really a change, more a clarification!

"Already existing media" now includes your friends stories!

Specifically, I want to start a thing called "Shoutout Saturday"!

So many of the quotes that stayed with me the most I've read right here on tumblr and AO3, and I know I'm not the only one.

So here's what I came up with!

I'll use Saturdays to specifically post submissions from things that gave you whumperflies from 'non-traditional' media be that fanfics, whumblr, etc.

Try to still keep them short-ish!

They should work on their own, without needing the context of the whole story

In your submissions, include which story you got this from, who wrote it, and where we can find it (either a link, or at least tell me the website)

You can submit them all week, I'll just post them on Saturday!

#tomorrow!

@agentbluefox about your tags - I actually left out quite a bit in the middle. The full poem can be found right here on the Tumblr of the author!

“I fall asleep whispering ‘I am safer alone I am safer alone I am safer alone I am safer alone. ’ […] Forgive me, memory is a rope around the neck. Forgive me, I leave first and call that a choice.”

- Clementine von Radics, James

#I thought about tagging the author in the post but idk if they would want that #But this was an instance where I was so glad to have actually searched for the source instead of just trusting the one I found on pinterest #Bc I also only knew the first half of the quote I used here but that last sentence absolutely killed me
