just a sideblog

You're not there anymore, are you? I'm talking to no one at all right now.

I stepped off the edge of the world.

'Cause he's a crazy man who's out to ruin my life.

Believe me when I tell you this, I will figure out a way to blame this on you.

For the record, I'd like to say that I don't think it was as much my fault as other people do.

You take care of them, they'll take care of you.

Of her many transgressions, let's not worry about she resorted to cliché.

And the day was about to get worse because I was about to step to the plate.

I'm using celestial navigation.

I heard you the first time, I was just amusing myself.

I don't get hostile! I don't get randomly hostile, I get hostile when hostility's called for.

You sure you want your one question to be that stupid?

That's pretty much when the wheels came off the wagon.

We've been navigating by the North Star, which turned out to be the Delta shuttle from LaGuardia. It's a miracle we're not in Nantucket right now.

I'm not really in the mood for a joke right now.

This'd be a great time to feel a little support from you.

Have you fallen down and hit your head on something hard?

I mean, what in the name of everything holy could you want right now?

Sir. I need you to dig in now. It wasn't a nightmare. You really are the [].

Something really kinda freakish about you, you know that?

No, I did not. Let me be absolutely clear, I did not do that. Except, yes, I did that.

Much as we'd love nothing more than to stand here and watch you beat the living crap outta [], there's actually a bigger fish to fry.

Maybe she's overreacting, maybe I'm overreacting.

She's so sensitive. You know she'd freak if anyone even hints at nepotism.

Now that I've slept on it I think it's worse.

What, did you find her smoking in the parking lot of the Smithsonian?

But… you did the dance. You paid your dues. I want you to know that I'm in.

I can talk so fast it won't actually take measurable time.

You've never been the traditional hat-knitting wife.

They're the most cynical bastards on the planet.

You're trying to raise my competitive hackles.

Lunatics. I'm surrounded by lunatics.

If this is the []'s brand of favoritism, [] should find himself a new sugar daddy.

This'll be fun because no one's ever made a joke about me and Big Bird before.

You have a handsome man in your doorway.

How is this possible?! This is my family! What the hell are you people thinking?!

Have you seen one of these grant applications? We're lucky Einstein didn't have to fill one out or God knows what "E" would equal.

We're going to sit back and let moralistic dogma replace scientific method?

Maybe they should have thrown in a free football phone.

Yeah, well, if I'd known I was going to be on TV I would have blow-dried.

If you believe in what you're doing, you have to speak up.

I never do this. I'm a little nervous.

If there's any kind of firestorm, I promise I'll handle it.

Science cannot exist in a vacuum.

SPOCK

I object to intellect without discipline, I object to power without constructive purpose.

I've trained myself to put up with practically anything.

That sounds most inconvenient, however. Have you considered having it removed?

Fascinating is a word I use for the unexpected, in this case I would think interesting would suffice.

If I were human, I believe my response would be... "go to hell." If I were human.

My ancestors spawned from a different ocean than yours.

You speak of the objective hardness of the Vulcan heart. And yet, how little room there seems to be in yours.

You almost make me believe in luck.

Insufficient facts always invite danger.

[Name] speaks somewhat figuratively and with undue emotion. However, what he says is logical and I do, in fact, agree with it.

T'POL

Vulcans appreciate beauty.

Vulcans don't take vacations.

It proves that even the most disagreeable species have some positive attributes.

I assure you if I ever decide to make a joke, you'll know about it.

I think your presence here would be extremely beneficial to our operations.

I still don't believe in time travel.

There's been lingering questions over the accuracy of this report.

To Vulcans, certain information is considered intimate.

Is this what humans refer to as feeling sorry for themselves?

I've never initiated a meld before. I don't have the proper training.

TUVOK

If it's any consolation, I share your discomfort with social gatherings.

I wait until his own illogic overwhelms him.

I have grown to respect many of you. Others, I have learnt to tolerate.

Curious. That my failure, added to your own, should improve your feelings.

I realise we share an affinity for silences, but in this instance I feel compelled to speak.

I'd rather not engage in speculation. It is a dangerous pastime.

This is a far more reckless course of action than I've come to expect from you.

This is not a Vulcan custom.

I will never cease to be amazed by the Human capacity for hyperbole.

The Vulcan heart was forged out of barbarism and violence. We learned to control it, but it is still part of us. To pretend it does not exist, is to create an opportunity for it to escape.

'Instinct' is merely another term for 'serendipity'.

T'PRING

I came to know that I did not want to be the consort of a legend.

This is coming dangerously close to hijinks.

I have been doing research on human sex.

I won't chase you across the galaxy just to get married.

It is illogical to criticise the nature of memory.

Parted from me and never parted, never and always touching and touched. I await you.

That should have been a query. Whether or not I would understand.

I thought the onus was on me to better understand the culture that makes you you.

Tell me you tried 'excuse me' first.

And yet I was never reduced to flashing my boobs for information.

Kick his ass sweetie!

I am not a sociopath, I'm an anthropologist.

You set me up.

If you drive one more block, I'm screaming 'kidnap' out the window.

What? Do you want me to spit in my hand? We're Scully and Mulder.

This eco-warrior look works for you.

You only converse with PhD's. You realize I am half way through two Doctorates? Two halves make a whole, so mathematically speaking…

Can I, as the only normal person in this room, say, Ew?

I prefer holographs, they don't stink.

I hate psychology and you're just horny.

I don't know about the rest of my life but I sure as hell wish I was alone right now.

I don't know what that means but I think I could be a duck.

Those people deserved the truth.

They deserve the kindness of a lie.

I hate it when you make paranoia plausible, it's like sliding off a cliff.

She didn't welcome death, she wanted to live.

Offer up a little bit of yourself every once and awhile. Just… tell somebody something you're not completely certain you want them to know.

Don't be nice to me after I got you in trouble.

My fight or flight response is heavily weighted toward flight.

For someone who hate psychology, she sure has a lot of it.

They should put the bong back in the closet behind the Allman Brothers albums where it belongs.

Efficiency and professionalism, and we're out of here at nine o'clock on a Wednesday night.

I'm not gonna belay into the computer screen.

It's a beautiful scar.

Well, you know, just because _ didn't kill you, doesn't mean that that crap you eat isn't gonna.

You were nineteen in college. You could eat Tupperware and your system would deal with it.

My answers were correct; is anyone challenging me on the facts?

See the doctor, get a lollipop.

Seriously, I quit.

I'm gonna crush him, I'm gonna make him cry, and then I'm gonna tell his momma about it!

Ah, screw her convenience. Get her ass down here.

You're growing into that title very nicely.

But I bring you here, and we sit, and we have coffee, and we have Danish, in the hope that calmer and, dare I say, prettier heads prevail.

Please don't say the word "erotic" in the Oval Office.

Red meat has been found to cause cancer in white rats. Maraschino cherries have been found to cause cancer in white rats. Cellular phones have been found to cause cancer in white rats. Has anyone examined the possibility that cancer might be hereditary in white rats?

Can I say, I was never given a fornication manual, so…

Anyone wants to check my math, they're more than welcome to.

She was asked a question, and she said what she knew to be true. And when you start firing doctors for that, you've crossed the line somewhere.

You knew it would make me unhappy and that's why you did it and that's cheap.

You will summon your strength and you will listen to me for a moment.

I like when you ask for my help.

I find that when I skip over the first step and move right to the second step, it becomes a lot harder for people to say no.

Why haven't I ever been able to get her to like me? I'm asking you.

You've been the king of whatever room you walked into her entire life.

I wanted to be so mad at her. But the truth is, it's the nicest thing she's ever said about me.

The only thing you ever had to do to make me happy was come home at the end of the day.

dancer on the water

I drift through the streets all alone at night

Cuz I'm not a city boy anyway

I'll try to remember you

The strain on me taking ovеr my life

Afraid to lose in this frivolous game

summer wave '98

They say life can be a surprise for you

Seven days a week I’ve got something to prove

Sneak out of the back door

I just wanna see ya out in the daylight

How’s it gonna be when you move away?

Ridin’ down the street til the sun goes down

Someday will the ground beneath me fall away?

One way or another I’ll fade into the night

new life

I gotta get away

Another lonely day

Is this life always just do or die?

Hang tight, you’ll evolve

Am I going all in?

Is this all a waste of a good time?

It feels funny when you call

Follow me as we race the horizon

torn open

Cuz I never wanted you to go

You know love can fade

To cheer me up and push me on

But every song I hear can only bring tears and painful memories of you

wallow

Far away from here to the farthest reach you can

I'm a lot like you

Feeling slighted in this silence

Living life by the book

Break me down, I don’t care

Well, hello there.

You like a little attention.

Okay, I bite.

That's sad. People buying books because of what's popular, and not because they wanna be moved or changed in some way.

At the end of the day, people really are disappointing, aren't they?

If this was a movie, I'd grab you and we'd go at it right in the stacks.

My parents were assholes with the whole naming thing.

I should've seen the signs. But we never do when we're in love.

I went out for a couple of drinks. Get off my back.

You are burning through that book, aren't you?

Jesus! It's like you've never seen a horror movie or the news.

Professor Obvious wants to fuck you.

Please open my gift next and tell me how much you hate me then.

Is that the best friend you've got? If so, [name], you really are alone.

Seriously, I am drowning in work. I don't have time to keep hooking up or whatever it is you're even capable of.

Not to sound judgey, but this guy is everything wrong with America.

See, this is why I do my research.

Well, it was the 19th century. People still had manners.

But they loved books, and they taught me to love them, too.

If the zombies come, this is where I'm hiding.

If we're gonna seriously discuss poetry, it should be over a drink.

I know how much you helped me, it's just... It's hard here, [name].

All of my life lately has been about surviving. I need to remind myself ]why I came here in the first place.

Some guys are assholes, and you just have to realize that.

One day, you won't walk through the world as though it was your job to hold everything up

Hey, I don't want to sound like a stalker, but... I think I know you.

If your IQ is above a certain number... life is pretty much unbearable. And the number is not even that high.

Um, this is [name]. They literally saved my life tonight.

So, the first step to fixing something is to know no matter how destroyed it seems, it can always be saved.

We already have in-jokes.

I'm not always right. I'm human. I make mistakes.

Oh! You’re finally awake, I see.

You were out for quite some time, there. Rough day, eh?

If you need to steal something, do it with my help, all right?

You’re very handsome. I just need to tell you.

We can’t accept this, right? I mean, it’s too much.

Don’t arouse suspicion, but did you hear all that coin hit that table, [name] ?

You should take a bath. You know they have showers here. It’s possible.

You’re being mighty fucking friendly. They were looking at our coin.

I don’t think I’ve seen you eat anything other than pastries.

Oh my gosh, you’re so smart. Look at this guy, he knows everything!

Your first card, the Silver Dragon. This is good. You’re pure, you’re virtue, you are a worthwhile and wonderful human being, obviously, or creature of some repute.

[name], don’t you remember us talking about keeping a low profile?

You’re cheating. Somehow you’re cheating.

You guys aren’t in any trouble, are you? No one’s after you?

I’m so glad you all came to see the show. It’s going to be great tonight.

Will you hold me through the show?

It’s a very swaddling hug. You’ve never experienced anything like it.

I ask you, each and every one of you grant us your imaginations this eve

[name]? We’re going to need those weapons back.

Man, I thought it was kind of lame at first, but this is awesome!

Magic, you’re using magic.

Nein!

Now is the part where we dance.

This thing’s swinging hard. Holy shit.

I’m going to workshop it, I’ll make something later. For now, it’s a placeholder.

There was a sick guy! There was an old sick guy and he turned into a zombie!

Stay where you are. Don’t go anywhere.

I’m terribly sorry. I– this has never happened. I don’t know what happened.

We gave her a family she didn’t have.

When they say you can't love, I think you've got it wrong

They say you can't feel, with a heart made of steel but you can't say that steel ain't strong

Tell me what is the meaning of what I am feeling if you are the reason why?

Now I may be dumb but where I come from folks say they're fine when I know that they're blue

But you don't know you the way I do

But for some reason why, when you look at me I don't wanna be programmed this way

Believe when I say you're the one anomaly

You might not be smart but there is a part of me that's starting to make a break through

I never expected to find someone like you

My wires are protected from abnormal things like you

When you know everything, it is suddenly strange when you don't have a clue

I don't know anything, but you're giving me a clue

I can see past the surface, finding the worth that is hiding beneath

And all of a sudden I feel like I've run into something that no one has seen

You're perfect and wonderful how I hoped you'd be

There's something I need to tell you

You're a dream come true, but I need to share something with you…

If this life has ending, I'm glad that I'm spending this short little time with you

I'm so much more, than what you've thought before

sometimes you’ve got to listen to the soundtrack of a webseries from seven years ago

Drunk too much last night I’ll forget anything that’s real that we said

How can I keep it to myself?

I wanna shout it from the rooftops that it's all taking shape, I’m ready to make my move.

Potentially this could be a new beginning for you and me

Feel like a brand new me

I'm running mad lately

Too many people catching my eye. Need to stop staring so I turn my head up to the sky.

These birds are singing to me, but it sounds like they're laughing at me.

I'm on my knees, begging please, oh bring this summer to an end so I can get some sleep.

I should be with them really, but this weathers got me feeling blue.

I tell you to wear sunscreen, but then I go and get burnt.

I think that I am always right, but I don't really know.

This relationship has become a mess, you're the only one to blame.

It’s a challenge waking up seeing the sky as grey as your mind.

So let those rainbows apologise for those grey skies.

Don’t hide away I know it’s loud but you can face it.

You're the only fish in the sea for me.

I thought that you were fishing for me, maybe.

You're the one that got away.

Ever since the night I saw ya I've been swimming on dry land

You caught me hook, line, and sinker, when you weren't even thinking

Got all this energy pent up inside me

You know what I find scary? It’s the future, who am I?

I saw you sitting alone across the way

Baby you know how to flip my day upside down anyway

Can I steal you away for tonight? If I took you by the hand, would you mind?

We can drink this bottle of wine I can't pronounce it's name, but I'm sure it will be fine

Don't tell me that your fine I know that look in your eyes

My head started falling, and my heart began calling it’s love to you.

We’re so done. I’m so done with you.

There’s nothing left, we need to fear.

They can’t tell us how to live this - we will break the rules.

Ignore your head, follow your heart, ‘cause it knows best.

really just some of my favourite quotes, both book and movie. any pronouns have been changed to they/them so they can apply to anyone but feel free to change them again when you send them.

Sometimes the right thing feels all wrong until it is over and done with

Fall in love whenever you can.

My darling, when are you going to realize that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage

Sometimes, running away means you're headed in the exact right direction.

The moon is always jealous of the heat of the day, just as the sun always longs for something dark and deep.

Trouble is just like love, after all; it comes in unannounced and takes over before you've had a chance to reconsider, or even to think.

Do you ever just put your arms out and just spin and spin and spin? Well, that's what love is like; everything inside of you tells you to stop before you fall, but for some reason you just keep going.

Pride is a funny thing; it can make what is truly worthless appear to be a treasure.

I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for.

Unrequited love is so boring. Weeping under a blue-black sky is for suckers or maniacs.

Every problem has a solution, although it may not be the outcome that was originally hoped for or expected.

Some things, when they change, never do return to the way they once were.

No one will ever understand you in quite the same way.

Some fates are guaranteed, no matter who tries to intervene.

Love is worth the sum of itself, and nothing more.

You can never tell about a person by guessing...that's why language was invented. Otherwise, we'd all be like dogs, sniffing each other to find out where we stood.

People want to ignore what they can't understand. They're looking for logic at any cost.

I never even believed in happiness. I didn't think it existed.

It's amazing the places that love will carry you. It's astounding to discover just how far you're willing to go.

Fuck you twice. You need it more.

The lonelier you are, the more you pull away, until humans seem an alien race, with customs and a language you can't begin to understand.

There's a little witch in all of us.

If a woman is in trouble, she should always wear blue for protection.

Lightning, like love, is never ruled by logic.

“ It was obvious to me that they were smitten. I do not know why no one else saw it.”

“ Tell me. Tell me how to make it right. ”

“ Listen to me and listen well, because I’m only going to say this once. I desire you. I burn for you. I can’t sleep at night for wanting you. ”

“ I do think [name] might be in love. ”

“ I love you, [name]. It took me a while to figure it out, but I do, and I had to tell you. Today. ”
