❤❤❤  I trust you with my life.

I’m not sure if I can trust you. 💔  Something’s just not right. I’m afraid of you. 💔💔  I’m pretty sure you want to hurt me, and I intend to protect myself. 💔💔💔  The first chance I get, I’m killing you before you kill me.

a little assortment of quotes and sayings i've found doom scrolling through pinterest that i think an adventuring party would say during their never ending perilous adventures . please do not copy/repost or add to this list, thank you! previous parts: ( one. two. three. four. )

Affectionate

" a rose! that's what you need; a rose in your hair! "

" i will always be your sword. "

" i see you. "

" it has always been you. "

Questions

" can you remember who you are? "

" the world still goes around if you don't talk. you do realize that, right? "

" when did you get a heart? "

are you always such an idiot, or do you just show off when i'm around? "

Banter

" have you ever thought...who the fuck asked? "

" if you don't want a sarcastic answer, don't ask stupid questions! "

" here, hold my morals. i've got some sketchy shit to take care of. "

" remember when i asked for your opinion? me neither. "

" someday you'll go far...and i really hope you stay there. "

Tragedy

" i'd bleed for anything if it held me the right way. "

" something's made your eyes go cold. "

" you are not the darkness you endured. "

" there are no gods here. just empty halls and hushed pleas. "

" make death proud to take us. "

" i swing both ways. violently. with a weapon. "

" anger makes you stupid. stupid gets you killed. "

BONUS

FROM THE HERO TO THE VILLAIN

" your feverent misguided sense of entitlement is astonishing."

" by the time you finish thinking, i'll have already won this battle! "

" i will find you; or i will die trying. "

" you are on your knees. we are not negotiating. "

FROM THE VILLAIN TO THE HERO

" you mistake dominance for respect. they are not the same thing. "

" you insects scurry about, pretending to be heroes."

" when you look into the abyss, know that i am the darkness that gazes back. "

" can you hear the screams of the people? can you hear them serenading me as i ascend? "

" they worship me with their grief, and now, so will you. "

you will be so much more than that.

now, that duty falls to you.

that victory is within your reach.

this is our biggest show yet.

why are you so late?

they will face my wrath!

please take your seat.

now you gotta die.

let me guess. they got away again?

stop me if you've heard this one before.

i'm not here to mock you. i'm here to help you. it's time for a new strategy.

sounds like you need the rest.

i can't wait to eat kimbap and stare at the ceiling.

sounds super boring. i'm so down.

it's the beginning of a new chapter for us. for the whole world.

it's okay. i'm sure everything will be fine.

we're so close, and it's so important.

hey, we'll get through this. we can get through anything. together.

why are there so many people today?

hurry, before someone sees us.

focus is good, but focusing on one part leads to ignoring other parts, making you separated, isolated.

to treat the part, we must understand the whole.

ugh. you guys are so gross.

they're not even that cute.

what if they try to kill these people?

don't touch that.

let's go kill these guys.

hard to say goodbye when we're having fun.

it was truly an honor to share the stage with you.

surprisingly, your plan is working.

i'm sorry. i've been glued to this tiny screen for hours.

we're gonna kick their butts!

you were supposed to be dead by now.

that's none of your business.

you left them. left them behind. failed them.

you don't know me.

i'm nothing like you.

thanks for having my back.

we keep meeting like this.

i mean, if you want me to come in, i can come in. i heard you singing.

what is up with you?

i'm not keeping anything from you. i promise.

i'm glad you're finally ready to talk. although, you could've picked somewhere nicer for a date.

if there's no hope for you, what hope is there for me?

i see why you're single.

for what it's worth, i don't think you're a mistake.

what are you not telling us? what are you hiding from us?

trust me, i'm gonna make sure we win.

look, i want to believe in your crazy plan, but i don't think i'm the one to help you.

i spent my whole life keeping this secret, this shame of what i am, and the more i hid this shame, the more it grew and grew until it started to destroy the one thing that gave me purpose.

maybe they'll understand.

you were never supposed to see.

it was real. what we had was real. i know it was.

the things i said? i just needed you to trust me. that's all.

you were a good person, and you still are. you just made a mistake.

you thought you found a family? you don't deserve one. you never have.

you're too much. and not enough.

there's no denying it now. this is what i am.

you knew i was a mistake from the very start.

why can't you look at me? why couldn't you love me?

you think you can fix the world? you can't even fix yourself.

i'm sorry... for everything.

i wanted to set you free!

we've been saying that for years.

see what you've been missing?

the scars are part of me.

this is what it sounds like.

you guys just mean so much to me, and i don't really know what i'd do without you.

i definitely feel recharged.
