such interesting and articulate children

PLASTIC SOLDIERS.

“everything carries weight.” “everything is the same.” “i can’t keep my head up.” “i’d like to stay for my friends.” “i know you know that it’s over.” “i’d hate to seem so shallow.” “i can’t seem to find my way.” “you’ve got the time.” “the rest of us will live and die like plastic soldiers.”

CREEP IN A T-SHIRT.

“if i wanted to talk i would have called a friend.” “i’m better off alone.” “never was a child, i was born this way.” “i don’t know what i know.” “just because i lost it doesn’t mean i want it back.” “you don’t get it.” “i don’t fucking care.” “i don’t recall the crime.” “my memory has left me behind.”

EVIL FRIENDS.

“the world that sleeps in its lunacy has got nothing on me.” “it’s not that i’m evil.” “i got a friend in the devil.” “i can get so wound up.” “when i shouldn’t do it, i still do it.” “what you think’s got nothing to do with this.” “before you were born, i was already sinning.” “i just don’t like to pretend i could ever be your friend.” “i never needed a friend.”

MODERN JESUS.

“we got what you need.” “we can sell you dreams.” “you don’t need sympathy.” “they’ve got a pill for everything.” “don’t pray for us.” “the only rule we need is never giving up.” “the only faith we have is faith in us.” “who cares if hell awaits?” “we don’t need to prove nothing to you.” “we won’t sell you nothing you can’t use.”

HIP HOP KIDS.

“fuck those rock and rollers.” “all you hip hop kids think we give a shit.” “i’m your mother’s son.” “i just stand still, watch the world grow colder.” “i can’t change.” “i’ll just lay with my head in my hands.” “i’m not afraid to die.” “don’t care if i get older.” “i don’t cry.”

Goodbye

The last thing he/she’s gonna want is a hairy chest!

Absolutely, under no condition whatsoever, is anyone in this family to fall in love with that baby!

You’re a great warrior, and a swordsman. And you’re ten times bigger than I am, stupid!

If you really are a prince/princess, take care of him/her

Well my mother raised me on blackroot. It’s good for you. It puts hair on your chest!

Give me a sword, I’ll win this war for you.

Get your hair out of my face or I’ll chop it off.Ooh,

 I don’t love her, she kicked me in the face! I hate her!…. don’t I?

Magic is the bloodstream of the universe. 

I didn’t ask you to bring me a dead nursemaid. 

You will do as I say, child.

Traitor child. I must despise you now.

You’re mother was a lizard!

You never, ever drive that fast with an infant!

Three drops of your blood must be put in the potion.

You started spouting poetry. ‘I love you _! I worship you _!’ You almost got us killed!

She/He is kinda cute… When he/she’s quiet.

I don’t know, I expected something more grand, less… Fuzzy.

Even if we find them, they’ll catch us, stick us in cages, torture us and finally devour us!

Wanna breed?

All this expedition needs is a leader. And according to the bones, that leader is… you.

I’ll be around long after you’re dead! When I get out of here, I’m gonna cut your head off and stick it on a pig pole!

Wake from this hateful sleep, it deprives me of your beauty, beauty of your eyes.

You are my sun, my moon, my starlit sky, without you, dwell in darkness. I love you.

Your power has enchanted me, I stand helpless against it. Come to me now, tonight let me worship you in my arms.

for context : my great-grandfather turned 100 a couple of weeks ago , and he’s very happy about reaching triple figures ! since he’s so modern and knows what tumblr is , he wanted me to make a collection of his most quotable moments ! most of these were said whilst watching tv shows like masterchef or project runway ( esp. project runway, he used to be a tailor ! ) or playing ps3 games ( one of his new fave pastimes ) 

Send one (or a few) to my muse and they’ll answer: 

It’s called a “cruel irony”, like my dependence on you.

Okay, okay, on second thought make my potatoes a salad.

Why do we even have that lever?

Um, how else can I say it? “You’re being let go.” “Your department’s being downsized.” “You’re part of an outplacement.” “We’re going in a different direction.” “We’re not picking up your option.” Take your pick. I got more.

You threw off my groove!

You know, it’s a good thing you’re not a big, fat guy or this would be really difficult.

Well, ya got me. By all accounts, it doesn’t make sense.

So… who’s in my chaaaaaair?

Why would I kidnap a llama?

You have a lovely wife. They’re both very pretty.

Huh? What? I didn’t do anything. I didn’t… Somebody’s throwin’ stuff.

You just saved my life!

Good, because believe it or not, I think I need a bath.

Oh, he’s doing his own theme music? Big, dumb and tone deaf.

I am so glad I was unconscious for all of this.

Hey, everyone hits their stride. You just hit yours fifty years ago.

Boom, baby!

What is this guy babbling about? He’s like the thing that wouldn’t shut up.

When will you learn that all my ideas are good ones?

Don’t you say a word. 

For the last time, it was not a kiss.

I got a little secret for you. Come here. No, closer.

All right. A quick cup of coffee. Then take him out and finish the job!

Ah, how shall I do it? Oh, I know. I’ll turn him into a flea, a harmless, little flea, and then I’ll put that flea in a box, and then I’ll put that box inside of another box, and then I’ll mail that box to myself, and when it arrives…I’ll smash it with a hammer! It’s brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, I tell you! Genius, I say!

Or, to save on postage, I’ll just poison him with this.

Well, he ain’t getting any dead-er!

Main Verse     tagged: untagged

           “What life forgot to share around is on your hands                    Because it’s untrue that life passes by without a warning                    Afterwards the tree fell, and never broke down                    And the harmony of the afternoon let life sneak a peek…–” [x]

Name: Miguel Reyes, LPC Age: 30 Gender/pronouns: Cis man/he pronouns Faceclaim: Danny Pino Setting: New York City, New York Notable Relationships: Lauren (business partner)

     Idealistic to a fault, Miguel is a therapist working in NYC, focusing his efforts on the superhuman community. Because he charges on a sliding scale (basically, pay what you can) and frequently waives fees entirely, he does not make very much money and makes many sacrifices in his personal life in order to make the therapy office and therapy services better. Despite this, he would describe himself as content and satisfied with his life.
