i'm going to squeeze the air out of your lungs.

for muses who are just Very Reactive. maybe receiver will misinterpret! maybe they'll interpret it just fine and know what the sender means (if they're trying to Be Supportive). but here are some opportunities to feel unwanted

"Do you want some space?"

"Should I go?"

"I don't know how to help you."

"This isn't really my area of expertise."

"Have you thought about speaking to a therapist about this?"

"That sounds really hard to deal with."

"Is me being here helping?"

"I can't stay if you're gonna keep doing this."

"I can't stay, I have [work/etc]."

"Do you know what I've sacrificed for you?"

"There is so much I'd give you if you'd just let me."

"You're always like this."

"You never let me do anything for you."

"God, just let me do it. Just this once."

"I don't want you to feel alone, but..."

"I'm so tired of this."

"Can you just listen for once?"

"I shouldn't have come."

"I shouldn't have asked you."

"This wasn't a good idea."

"Maybe I should just go home."

"What do you want from me?"

"It doesn't seem like you want me here."

"[Name], I would do anything for you."

"You never ask!"

you were never like this before.

you're not the person i once knew.

i don't want to think about it anymore. i've moved on.

people change. get over it.

are those gray hairs i see?

did you expect me to stay the same forever?

i got older. that's what happened.

yeah, well, things are different now.

i don't remember it ever looking like this.

did you move the furniture around in here?

i remember that used to be bigger.

when did that happen? did i miss it?

i wish we could just go back to the way it was before.

are you telling me it's over?

maybe i loved you once, but not anymore.

you look shorter than i remember.

what happended to your favorite chair?

you still look the same as you did the day i left.

did you do something with your hair?

is that a new scar i see?

the more things change, the more they stay the same.

everything's just the way i left it.

i made the mistake of trusting you once.

can't you see i've moved on?

stop trying to turn me into the person i once was.

what we had was special.

you've changed, and not in a good way.

you never would have done that years ago.

i don't remember you doing things like that.

when did this start happening?

is that new? when did that get here?

i barely recognize the place.

where did all the trees go that were here before?

i don't remember this being here at all.

when was the last time you visited this place?

your hair got longer.

still remember me, old friend?

this is just like old times.

do you ever reminisce about the good old days?

that might have worked once, but not anymore.

you really don't remember me?

you promised we'd be together forever.

you left. i had to move on.

i didn't have a choice in the matter.

things are different now.

they put me in charge of this place.

i never thought i'd see the day.

when you left, we had no one else to turn to.

there's nothing that can be done about it.

you can't turn back time, you know.

i miss coming here with you.

you don't look at me the same way.

i never should have left this place.

had you stayed, it might've been a different story.

change is inevitable. you can't fight it.

we were kids back then.

i'm sorry, but i don't feel the same way anymore.

nothing's been the same since you went away.

i wish you'd taken me with you.

that's not how it works anymore.

that's in the past for a reason.

there's no use digging up the past.

“[Name], you’re bleeding.”

“How long has it been like that?”

“Did you dislocate a finger?”

“You’re slurring.”

“They say you almost died. You left it that late.”

“You’re snapping. Headache again?”

“You’re in a bad mood. Are you in pain?”

“Why didn’t you say anything?”

“Hey, why are you walking like that?”

“That’s a lot of swelling.”

“Where did you get that bruise?”

“Whose blood is that?”

“When you say your pain’s ‘4 out of 10′, that’s a normal person’s ‘8 out of 10′. We’re going to the hospital.”

“How did you not notice?!”

“If it hurts, it hurts.”

“I know you can manage it, you just don’t *have* to.”

“Holy shit, how long have you had this?!”

“[Name]? [Name]! Hey!”

“We’re a team. You need to tell me about this sort of thing.”

“That’s … a lot of blood, is that - oh, fuck.”

“Hey! Hey! Stay awake, okay? Stay awake.”

“It would have been a lot easier to treat if you’d mentioned it sooner.”

“You can’t keep hiding this stuff.”

note this was written about romantically entwined muses but platonic love also applies! ask about the receiver's friends as much as about their partner(s) <3

"How did you two meet?"

"Do you love them?"

"When can I meet them?"

"I've never seen them as happy as they are when they're with you."

"How long have you known them?"

"[Name] has told me a lot about you."

"You two were made for each other."

"I didn't realise you guys were together."

"So are you gonna introduce me to your boyfriend/girlfriend/partner?"

"You seem happier with them."

"Wait... are you two...?"

"They won't shut up about you, you know."

"So you're the famous [name]."

"Do you miss them when they're away?"

"How do you guys basically never argue?"

"You must trust them a lot."

"What is it about [name]?"

"You've been through a lot together."
