* DON'T WANNA LIVE AS AN UNTOLD STORY.

THAT BEING SAID, i AM going to go digging for certain threads on here & will continue them on my new blog once it's up. if there are any others you want continued, feel free to hmu & we can talk about it

fair warning: i'm doing an almost complete reset of my muselist. like im dropping 90-95% of them easily. most of them ive either have not written much to warrant keeping them, Or i dont have muse for them. & while i could go ahead & just purge the ones i dont want anymore from my list, remaking felt easier (& also ive had this particular blog for like 7-8 years so i think its fair to remake atp lol). the only ones that'll for sure be placed onto the new blog are superfly, aliyah, mustang & fintacea as they are, in some shape or form, muses i'm still writing off of tumblr. other than that, it's gonna be a fresh new roster. i'm......overall gonna try to be more selective w/ the muses i pick & rlly try to stick to ones that im presently comfortable w/ writing on the regular to avoid putting (completely self-imposed btw) pressure on myself to write for charas im not feeling strongly lol

FROM THE SONGS

“   It's good to see me, isn't it? ”

“   Isn’t it nice to know that good will conquer evil? ”

“   Are people born wicked, or do they have wickedness thrust upon them? ”

“  Many years I have waited for a gift like yours to appear. ”

“   Did that really just happen? ”

“   This weird quirk that I've tried to suppress or hide is a talent? ”

“   My whole life will change. ”

“   No one thinks you're strange. ”

“   I’ve just had a vision almost like a prophecy. ”

“   I will be loathing you my whole life long! ”

“   We’re all on your side! ”

“   The things one hears these days! Dreadful things! ”

“   The trouble with schools is that they always try to teach the wrong lesson. ”

“   Those who don’t try never look foolish. ”

“   So — what does one do for fun around here? ”

“   We’ll meet there later tonight. ”

“   I’ve got something to confess. ”

“   Now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project. ”

“   It’s the toughest case I’ve yet to face. ”

“   I’m determined to succeed. ”

“   There’s nothing that can stop you. ”

“   I am a sentimental man. ”

“   I think everyone deserves the chance to fly. ”

“   Why couldn't you have stayed calm for once, instead of flying off the handle?! ”

“   I hope you think you're clever! ”

“   I hope you're proud of how you would grovel in submission to feed your own ambition! ”

“   Listen to me — just say you're sorry. ”

“   You can have all you ever wanted. ”

“   Something has changed within me. ”

“   I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else’s game. ”

“   You're having delusions of grandeur! ”

“   Some things I cannot change, but till I try, I'll never know! ”

“   Come with me. Think of what we could do — together ”

“   If we work in tandem, there’s no fight we cannot win. ”

“   Well? Are you coming? ”

“   Let us put aside our panic for this one day, and celebrate! ”

“   Oh what a celebration we’ll have today! ”

“   People are so empty-headed that they'll believe anything! ”

“   I am a sentimental man, who always longed to be a father. ”

“   I think everyone deserves the chance to fly. ”

“   People are so empty-headed that they'll believe anything! ”

“   I never asked for this, or planned it in advance. ”

“   Believe me, it's hard to resist. ”

“   See, I never had a family of my own. ”

“   So you lied to them. ”

“   We believe all sorts of things that aren't true. We call it "history” ”

“   It's all in which label is able to persist. ”

“   With my help, you can be the same. ”

“   I need help believing you're with me tonight. ”

“   I've lost all resistance. ”

“   You've got me seeing through different eyes. ”

“   Somehow I've fallen under your spell. ”

“   I don't even know what I'm reading! ”

“   I don't even know what trick I ought to try. ”

“   No good deed goes unpunished. ”

“   One question haunts and hurts. ”

“   Was I really seeking good or just seeking attention? ”

“   You can do all I couldn't do. ”

“   I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason. ”

“   Well, I don't know if I believe that's true. ”

“   I know I'm who I am today because I knew you. ”

“   You'll be with me, like a handprint on my heart. ”

“   Now whatever way our stories end, I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend. ”

“   Young lady, do you realize who this is? ”

“   I hope you’ll save at least one dance for me. ”

“   I would do anything for you. ”

“   Well, it’s not like it’s your fault. ”

“   You don’t need to do that, you know. ”

“   I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do. ”

“   Well, somebody has to do something! ”

“   We’ve got to find someplace safe! ”

“   You think I’m really stupid, don’t you? ”
