Chaos Ascended

❛ Name one hero who was happy. —- You can’t. ❜

❛ I feel like I could eat the world raw. ❜

❛ We are like gods at the dawning of the world. ❜

❛ I could recognise him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world. ❜

❛ There are no bargains between lion and men. I will kill you and eat you raw. ❜

❛ You can use a spear as a walking stick, but that will not change its nature. ❜

❛ He is a weapon, a killer. Do not forget it. ❜

❛ Some men gain glory after they die, others fade. ❜

❛ I am made of memories. ❜

❛ Will you come with me? ❜

❛ I wish I had let you all die. ❜

❛ It is right to seek peace for the dead. You and I both know there is no peace for those who live after. ❜

❛ Bury us. Let us be free. ❜

❛ Go. He waits for you. ❜

❛ Nothing could eclipse the stain of this dirty, mortal mediocrity. ❜

❛ I know I have told you of this. ❜

❛ I don’t know how you remember them all. I swear they look the same to me. ❜

❛ Perhaps you should get some new stories, so I don’t fucking kill myself of boredom. ❜

❛ I yearn for the darkness and silence of the underworld, where I can rest. ❜

❛ There is no honour in betraying your friends. ❜

❛ There is no answer. Whichever you choose, you are wrong. ❜

❛ Divine blood flows differently. ❜

❛ How is there glory in taking life? We die so easily. ❜

❛ This is what I will miss, I think. I will kill myself rather than miss it. ❜

❛ How long do we have? ❜

❛ Do you think we fight hopeless wars? ❜

❛ There is no law that gods must be fair. ❜

❛ I do not fear ridicule. I never have. ❜

❛ You were always better with words than I. ❜

You will always fall in love, and it will always be like having your throat cut, just that fast.

You are going to break your promise. I understand.

You’re lonely too.

It will stop your breath, how cruel I can be.

I am a demanding creature. I am selfish and cruel and extremely unreasonable.

I am your servant.

I crawl at your feet; for before your love, your kisses, I am debased.

For you alone I will be weak.

I belong here, and you will not deny me.

I say these things, and the world listens.

I do not tolerate a world emptied of you. I have tried.

In the dark, I have pored over the loss of you like pale gold.

I will not let her speak because I love her, and when you love someone, you do not make them tell war stories.

I moved the earth and the water for you.

You will always run away with her.

You will always lose her.

You will always be a fool.

You will always be dead, in a city of ice, snow falling into your ear.

You have already done all of this and will do it again.

No one should be judged for loving more than they ought, only for loving not enough.

We look terrible to you, and severe, and you see our blood flying.

What we carry between us is hard-won, and we made it just as we wished it to be, just the color, just the shape.

There need never be any rules between us.

Let us be greedy together; let us hoard.

Do not leave me, swear that you will never leave me.

I am selfish. I am cruel. My mate cannot be less than I.

Sleep with fists closed and shoot straight.

I can’t abide a poor liar.

You look like a winter’s night. I could sleep inside the cold of you.

Oh, quit that. Blushing is for virgins and Christians.

Scold me; deny me. Tell me you want what you want and damn me forever. But don’t leave me.

Bad luck relies on absolutely perfect timing.

In his own country, Death can be kind.

What is the world but a boxing ring where fools and devils put up their fists?

Men die. It’s practically what they’re for.

I am no one; I am nothing.

Nothing in me was not made by you.

A revelation is always the end of something. It might even be cause for grief.

Just tell yourself a story that’ll satisfy you and pretend he told it.

Forever isn’t bright; it isn’t like that. Forever is cold and hard and final.

I savor bitterness - it is born of experience. It is the privilege of one who has truly lived.

If you want to kill yourself, do not use us as your knife.

What did I do wrong? Was I boring? Did I ignore you?

Don’t you dare speak to me like that.

I have worn nothing but blood and death for years.

I have fought all your battles for you, just as you asked me.

I have learned not to cry when I strangle a man.

I have learned to watch everything die.

I am not a little girl anymore, dazzled by your magic. It is my magic, now, too.

Are we not devils?

No one is now what they were before the war.

I have not seen you without your skin on.

Close up your head; your brain is getting loose.

We obsess. It’s in our nature.

I’ve a devil of a habit for being right.

In war you must always choose sides.

If you try to be a bridge laid down between them, they will tear you in half.

We are all dead. All equal. Broken and aimless and believing we are alive.

My old bones will follow yours soon enough.

It is better to be strong and cruel than to be fair.

I will see him with his skin off before I agree to fall in love.

After love, no one is what they were before.

I have survived, but I have not been spared.

In the space of one heartbeat to another I loved you and I was lost to you.

Frighten me, make me cry, only come back.

It’s not so bad, my darling. Being dead. It’s like being alive, only colder.

You’ll think it’s love, while he dines on your heart.

You will be so beautiful when you are old.

I cannot keep you and I cannot let you go.

You will live as you live in any world…with difficulty, and grief.

I look at you and it is like my throat being cut.

She said you’d come and I swore to eat your heart.

I still want to kiss you.

My heart is being cut in two. I cannot bear it.

What happens to anything beautiful?

You will always fall in love, and it will always be like having your throat cut, just that fast.

You are going to break your promise. I understand.

You’re lonely too.

It will stop your breath, how cruel I can be.

❛ whatever it is you’re looking for … i’m not it. ❜

❛ books are great, but they don’t hold all the answers. ❜

❛ happy is a kick in the balls waiting to happen. ❜

❛ you got half a life left to live, my friend. ❜

❛ you see, what worries me the most is that you’ve been in a hole so long that it’s become home. ❜

❛ wow. that was sexist, racist, and demeaning all of my abilities all in one sentence. ❜

❛ what time is it? ❜

❛ you brought this on yourself! ❜

❛ don’t you ever say that again. you got that? ❜

❛ you’re not the only ghost in this town. ❜

❛ truth is … i was past caring. ❜

❛ holy shit. ❜

❛ what the hell, why not? ❜

❛ you’re still all heart, huh? ❜

❛ drink? ❜

❛ been flirting with the idea of going full man-bun. ❜

❛ i’ll keep that in mind. ❜

❛ i wanna help, but not if it’s gonna get someone killed. ❜

❛ you think you’re okay and then something just brings it all back. ❜

❛ i don’t know if i would kiss him or slap him. ❜

❛ don’t even think about it. ❜

❛ tonight’s the night you’re gonna die. ❜

❛ never off-duty, huh? ❜

❛ i’m calling the shots now. ❜

❛ you need me! ❜

❛ you always talk this much? ❜

❛ piece of shit. ❜

❛ now all you got is the nightmare. ❜

❛ you want me to tell you it’s okay so that if this all blows up, it won’t be your fault. ❜

❛ you always were good at putting people back together. ❜

❛ i know that it makes it easier for you if you make me the enemy, but i’m not. ❜

❛ you are shitting me. ❜

❛ shit you not. ❜

❛ i dream, i see that guy. ❜

❛ what the hell is it that you do anyways? ❜

❛ hey, you shut your mouth. ❜

❛ you don’t know shit. ❜

❛ looks to me like we’re hiding evidence. ❜

❛ and now you’re closing yourself off, find it hard to trust people. ❜

❛ i’m the best. others will let me down. ❜

❛ i didn’t have a choice. ❜

❛ i could have killed you. ❜

❛ and you don’t find that kinda scary? ❜

❛ why don’t you sit down? ❜

❛ i don’t do partners. ❜

❛ you ever think about, maybe, quality over quantity? ❜

❛ god made me this way for a reason, bro. ❜

❛ i think this is a trap. ❜

❛ i think if we do this, men are gonna die. ❜

❛ you just don’t bleed out, you hear me? ❜

❛ what’d you say? ❜

❛ i cannot let you do that. ❜

❛ god damn it. ❜

❛ the hell is that? ❜

❛ you wanna go up against him/her/them with a pink ruger and no ammo? ❜

❛ grow up. ❜

❛ that’s not happening, alright? not on my watch. ❜

❛ what if we got you a little pair of green tights and a pointy cap with a feather in it? ❜

❛ don’t bother me. ❜

❛ want me to leave? ❜

❛ tough guy, huh? ❜

❛ i’m useless. ❜

❛ did i get anything right? ❜

❛ it was good. i just made it better. ❜

❛ turns out i suck at guitar. ❜

❛ that’s what joe did. don’t be like joe. ❜

❛ what, are you gonna puke? ❜

❛ you sure about this? ❜

❛ it’s nothing. i’m fine. ❜

❛ please don’t do this. ❜
