"I often think that the night is more alive and richly colored than the day."
- Vincent van Gogh

“ ……. ”
“ i will carry you out myself. ”
"𝐈 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐌𝐘 𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐒 as weapons in the past and will not hesitate to do so again.” Completely straight-faced, it’s... likely the truth, to some degree. “I have interacted with my fair share of corpses cursed or otherwise, and so you’ll have to do more than glower and glare at me. Besides, telling a scientist to not indulge in their own curiosity, you may as well tell a fish not to swim.”
Knowing neither life nor death,
Therefore, I call thee be this name
THOU ART THE 𝐃𝚰𝐒𝐓𝚨𝚴𝐓 𝐎𝚴𝚬
feel free to change pronouns as you please! ____ signifies a place where you can insert a name.
❝ You’ve got that look in your eyes…You’ve killed people. Or you will. ❞ ❝ No remorse, no mercy…Yes, you have the eyes of a killer! ❞ ❝ I know that you can kill. Now show me that you can obey. ❞ ❝ The lives of the innocent and the guilty alike are ours for the taking. ❞ ❝ I appreciate you finding a safe place for our meeting. ❞ ❝ Your people deserve so much greater than you. ❞ ❝ Despite your holy station, you have the same needs and desires as any other. ❞ ❝ Obey me without question and I’m sure we’ll get along just fine. ❞ ❝ You’re one of the family now…You might as well look the part. ❞ ❝ I’m blessed with good looks and a sense of humour. Just play along, dear, and enjoy~! ❞ ❝ I find life to be a complicated mess of pranks and pitfalls. ❞ ❝ Stay sharp. We’re not alone in the shadows anymore. ❞ ❝ I suggest you get used to this face, because you’re gonna be seeing a lot of me. ❞ ❝ It seems I’ll need to use something harsher than words to deal with you. ❞ ❝ It seems we’re at war with an unknown adversary… ❞ ❝ Your mead tastes like bee vomit…Think I’ll pass. ❞ ❝ You’re hunting the hunters, and that’s a game I have no desire to play. ❞ ❝ I protect my customers and their secrets. I’ve nothing more to say to you. ❞ ❝ I’ll tear your head off and mount it on my wall! ❞ ❝ I didn’t mean to cause so much trouble…or to put you in harm’s way… ❞ ❝ Make ____ feel pain before you kill him/her, alright? ❞ ❝ I assume you have a reason for approaching me while I’m working. What is it? ❞ ❝ I’m not quite sure I really want to know your trade secrets. ❞ ❝ Life is fleeting, an illusion, and everything in the end belongs to death. ❞ ❝ You’ve demonstrated skills and abilities that we’ll definitely need in the battles to come. ❞ ❝ I’m going to be a part of this mission whether you give the command or not. ❞ ❝ I’m getting a little tired of sticking to the shadows all the time… ❞ ❝ What’s a few more minutes when I get to spend it with such a deadly assassin… ❞ ❝ I’m unarmed. May we speak before you kill me? ❞ ❝ We’ll meet again, and next time I’ll be ready to deal with you! ❞ ❝ One day, your recklessness is going to get you killed. ❞ ❝ If I have to confront my past to shed light on the present, then so be it. ❞ ❝ This place may be abandoned, but such areas never stay quiet for long… ❞ ❝ What? Are those tears? Executioners aren’t supposed to cry. ❞ ❝ Were all these deaths truly what you wanted? ❞ ❝ Put away your weapon, child. We have much to discuss. ❞ ❝ You have no idea how glad I am to see a friendly face… ❞ ❝ Honestly, I’m extremely overqualified, but I’ll take whatever employment you can get. ❞ ❝ You can’t blame me for breaking a few fingers…You were touching my body, after all. ❞ ❝ Have you lifted anything heavier than a book in your entire life? ❞ ❝ If you falter in the slightest, it’ll be your blood that stains the ground. ❞ ❝ Heh…You always were a step faster than me. ❞ ❝ I’m ready to die. Let’s see if you’re good enough to kill me. ❞ ❝ You remind me of who I was. That’s why I’m going to kill you. ❞ ❝ ____ failed. Why mourn the loss of weakness? ❞ ❝ We have a certain connection, you and I…Don’t you find it to be intense? ❞ ❝ I have the kind of face everyone remembers – beautiful. ❞ ❝ Wakey wakey, darling! You can sleep when you’re dead, which will be sooner than you think! ❞ ❝ One of these nights, I’ll sneak into your room and– purely for a social visit, I assure you! ❞ ❝ A murder here, an assassination there, a girl needs to stay active! ❞ ❝ You have a way of making me act unprofessionally, you know that? ❞ ❝ That was…intense. I’m glad you showed up when you did. ❞ ❝ You’ve meddled in my affairs for the last time! ❞ ❝ I will not beg for mercy from the likes of you! ❞ ❝ Perhaps we could share a murder spree sometime soon, yes? ❞ ❝ I see your sense of humour is still in a state of disrepair. ❞ ❝ I need to ask a favour, and gold isn’t the only reward I’m willing to provide. ❞ ❝ Would you go away and leave me alone? I don’t want any trouble. ❞ ❝ Don’t you dare follow me! I’ve got some apples and I know how to use ‘em! ❞ ❝ When I said “be discreet”, this was not what I meant… ❞ ❝ I’m thinking this spy business just might not work out for you. ❞ ❝ These aren’t the most…luxurious headquarters, but I’ve had worse. ❞ ❝ Who am I to suppose I can avoid the fate that so clearly awaits me? ❞ ❝ I thought you’d realise by now that I don’t take kindly to threats. ❞ ❝ This is your fault. I never should have hired you. ❞ ❝ This place is too quiet…Almost too perfect for an ambush. ❞ ❝ One minute you’re flirting, the next minute you’re stabbing. It’s very confusing. ❞ ❝ Look who’s here! Afraid I’d leave without giving you a goodbye kiss? ❞ ❝ Don’t get all sentimental on me, hero. ❞ ❝ Step away from me or we’ll need a broom to clean up your remains. ❞ ❝ Forward? Believe me, this is my shy and unimposing side. ❞ ❝ Think you’ll find a better deal elsewhere? You’d be dead wrong. ❞ ❝ Why not take a load off? You look like you’ve been working yourself to the bone. ❞

I said that early hours would be my time for loveposting but no. Actually I think I DO want to talk in broad daylight about how ridiculously touchy Veric can be sometimes when he’s in love with a partner that doesn’t mind it

i just played the stanley parable for the first time recently and this ending absolutely destroyed me, so i’m making a meme about it to cope. a few lines might have been altered just a little bit to fit a more vague setting, but most remain unchanged. feel free to alter further should you need to!

“ oh, thank god, you are willing to listen to me. ”
