↪     𝑺𝑳𝑬𝑬𝑷𝒀 𝑯𝑶𝑳𝑳𝑶𝑾 .    (  a  series  of  sentence  starters  from  the  1999  film   “  sleepy hollow  ” .  adjust  phrasing  as  necessary . )  

help ,  here  —  lend a hand .

just a moment ,  if i may  —

i stand up for sense  &  justice .

do make certain you meet with success .

such a day for such a sad farewell .

this is such a silly game .

be a sport  &  stop complaining !

play along ,  you must .

forgive me ,  i didn’t know .

we haven’t heard your name yet ,  friend .

you need some manners .

if we could speak alone ?

how much have your superiors bothered to tell you ?

you are horribly old - fashioned ,  aren’t you ?

feel free to form your own opinion ,  though it appears you already have .

it seems i’ve made matters worse .

i’ll leave you to your business .

excuse me  …  i should apologize .

is it me ,  or are you this nervous around all women ?

do be a dear  &  tell me all about it .

sounds like an extraordinary place to live a life .

there is no such thing as magic .

to call a person superstitious is to imply they fear magic .

poets have silly notions .

you do believe me now ,  don’t you ?

you need less big words ,  &  more common sense .

what the hell are you doing ?

i am not here for revenge .  i am here to bring justice .

i manage fine alone .

i deserve to help you .  don’t you see how much this means ?

what are you spying on ?

i beg you ,  no more ,  please .

i will not allow it .  i will not !

why was i not told of this ?

you should step outside .

sorry for disturbing you .  i thought a forgotten candle was burning .

having trouble sleeping ?

i have something to show you ,  if you have a moment .

these scars .  how did you get them ?

oh ,  you are hopeless .

i have a gift for you .  true magic which even you will not be able to deny .

are you saying i should be frightened ?

what will it take for you to realize this is no laughing matter ?

don’t be afraid  …  don’t be afraid .

you promised justice .  people have put their trust in you .

why would you do such a thing ?

leave me .  you are not welcome here .

allow me some time .

the things i said to you before  …  i was wrong to say them .

every word you spoke had truth in it .

if you want me to go ,  i will .  do you want me to leave ?

i no longer know what i think or what i feel .

why are you so afraid ?  is there truly such harm in uncertainty ?

i should be going  …  good day to you .

i’m one of the few people who likes you .

i apologize if i worried you .

my god  …  what has happened ?

yes ,  i did notice that ,  thank you .

i am a bad habit .  there’s nothing for it .

don’t let him get you .

lay still ,  [ name ] .  do not move .

i’m drawing bad blood from the wound .

you were half - drowned when they found you .

i serve a fine purpose alive .

midnight seems an appropriate time .

hide in my room  &  bolt the door til i return .

i was getting worried .

do you have anything to clean it with ?

i know you saw me .

i know you followed me last night .

i appreciate your concern .

you are so upset now  …  &  yet ,  you seemed in such good spirits last night .

why have i not seen your face for so long ?

i have been reading your journal .

what would you have me believe ?

if you think i am behind this ,  say it .

call me a liar ,  then ,  &  a  murderer .

what is stopping you ?  what has happened to your ability to transcend sentimentality ?

don’t dare stand looking as if you still care for me ,  after all that you have said .

if i were to confess ,  would that ease your suffering ?  would that make it easier for you to hate me ?

the next person to lay hands on me will have a bullet .

you do not know all that has happened .

why  …  why are you like this ?

to hell with this place  &  all the people here .

won’t you change your mind ?  what can i say to convince you ?

take me with you .  there’s nothing left for me here .

forgive me .  i failed you .

you  …  you’re alive .

no one will believe your lies .

i am not going to kill you .  not me  …

you cannot kill what is already dead .

0 percent wife material, a complete failure as a wife. maggie is cackling honestly. there's a (read: many) reason(s) she was single/without enduring relationships, and never married or anything in earlier lifetimes

also what if i took time this star wars day to give maggie a star wars verse....

@singofus whispered:  Ari  is  crouched  down  in  front  of  the  little  girl,  smiling  warmly  at  her.  It  had  taken  a  little  while  to  gain  her  trust,  but  they  were  getting  there.  "I'm  so  proud  of  you  today,  Maggie.  You  were  a  great  little  baker.  A  superstar.  Do  you  want  to  come  with  me  and  pick  out  a  cupcake  that  you  can  bring  to  your  papa  when  he  gets  home  in  a  few  minutes?"  (Because  Maggie  needs  a  lovely  mama  figure)

⸻ ˗ˏˋ ꒰ 🍑🍒🍄 ꒱ ˎˊ˗ ⸻

her  focus  drags  from  the  tiny  bit  of  chocolate  she  can't  seem  to  get  off  her  hand  (or  is  it  a  freckle?)  up  to  ari  as  she  speaks.  the  voiced  appreciation  and  shared  pride  draws  a  smile,  a  blush  coming  to  her  face.  already  she's  overwhelmed  when  it  comes  to  receiving  positive  attention,  even  as  she  desperately  seeks  it  every  day.  to  have  it  handed  to  her…it's  sweeter  than  the  baked  goods  they  just  made. 

“papa  likes  chocolate,”  she  volunteers,  setting  ground  rules  for  this  cupcake  hunting  scenario,  even  as  she  reaches  up  to  take  ari's  hand  so  they  can  venture  to  the  selection  process.

sleek  gloved  fingers  play  with  the  stylus  of  her  data  pad  as  she  reads  through  the  trade  route  calls  for  help  from  the  republic.  the  merchants  claimed  pirates  but  maggie  was  seeing  a  different  pattern.

“that's  why  you  called  me  in,  isn't  it?”  she  asks,  voice  modulated  by  the  speaker  in  her  mask,  granting  a  small  amount  of  anonymity.  “thought  you  jedi  had  better  things  to  do  than  worrying  about  merchant  trade  routes.  this  whole  scene  is  wrong.” 

she  glances  up  at  him  from  behind  her  mask,  taking  in  his  tense  stance.  more  than  that,  the  spirals  of  light  she  can  practically  taste,  spinning  off  of  him  in  fractals  that  told  her  more  about  him  than  the  emblem  on  his  clothes.  “take  a  seat  before  you  wear  a  hole  in  the  floor.” 

"something is very wrong."
