The Witcher Sentence Starters

Today isn’t your day, is it? Yeah, fuck that – kill him with your bare hands if you have to. I killed a rat this morning with my breakfast fork. Have you ever been to hell? Not many of my likeness are left. Wizards are all the same: you talk nonsense while making all wise and meaningful faces. Pretty balads hide bastard truths. You will rule this land someday. I talk to my horse. Your service has been an honour to us all. I haven’t spoken to anyone in three days. I love the way you just sit in the corner and brood. Need a hand? I’ve got two! I won’t be but a silent back-up. Chaos is the most dangerous thing in this world. Listen closely, your survival depends on it. Did your mother fuck a snow bear? You don’t deserve the air you breathe. No matter what you choose, you’ll come out bloody and hate yourself. Sometimes the best thing a flower can do for us, is die. When a wolf crosses a maiden’s grave, a pregnant girl would die before her time. When you live as long as I do, all names start to sound the same. Your kind already swindled us once! It’s my plan, my coin. Not answering questions is a pillar of your brooding charm. Your scent was on her sheets, old ones and new ones. You’re just angry because you lost your chance to be beautiful. Will this work? Answer honestly. Food, women and wine, (…)! How many of these lords want to kill you? I’ve always wanted to know, do Witchers ever retire? Why are you dressed like a sad silk trader? Maybe you should start thinking for yourself. I could torture you so very slowly into compliance. How can you not foresee this? You’re supposed to protect us! All this because male tradition demands it. I abide no law made by men who have never carried any child. You can’t outrun destiny because you’re terrified. You can’t change the world this way. I’ve never been shy a day in my life. The sword of destiny has two edges. I fear I shall die a broken-hearted man. Destiny is the embodiment of the soul’s desire to grow. Let go, you horse’s arse! You’re afraid I’m everything you could never be. Your heartbeat is extraordinarily slow. Nobody smart plays fair. I wish very badly to leave this place forever. When did you last feel happy when you were trapped? The burden of power can be painful. Nobody mentioned anything about impending death. You worry if you blink, you’ll never see her again. When your species is on the brink of collapse, perhaps everything becomes more desperate. Uhm, I’m not sure I’d eat that, good sir. States rise and fall like the tide. You’re the one who’s been staring daggers eer since we arrived. Every time I’m near you, I say more in five minutes than I’ve said in weeks. It’s hard to regret something you didn’t choose. If life could give me one blessing, it would be to take you off my hands. Fine, I’ll just follow the sound of crying girls. It took about five minutes for the lies to start. Think for yourself, it’ll save you a lifetime of heartbreak. There’s far worse things than expulsion. I never wanted to come back here. Look at this place, it’s a joke! The only thing you should do quickly is flee! Not a happy ending after all… They have come from beyond the mountains to destroy the world. Must you always be so fatalistic? It’s time to accept that life has nothing left to give. People linked by destiny will always find each other. Just give me an ale and consider your debt paid. I can’t help but think I was meant to find you.

doesn’t know what to say to that.  the dwarf before him, that is not the thorin he vowed to follow.  a sick greed has taken hold, bilbo fears the king he put his faith in may never return.  ❝ the treasures within these halls are glorious, yes, but…  do you really need every last coin?  there is enough wealth here for many villages.  surely…  some of the treasure wouldn’t be too much to part with? ❞

       “YET--” There laid a snarl in the base of his throat, alike to the bark of a hound. It had laid there, dormant, ever since their return to the Mountain. Thorin was unaware, though perhaps anyone else may have noticed something was different about him.

        “It is not their mountain which holds these coins -- it is mine!”

So, the year is coming to an end and it’s probably time I clean out my thread tracker so we can head into the new year with a fresh start too. I’m currently tracking over a hundred threads for all my blogs together (which is two very active ones, and two not really active ones) and for a lot of these threads...I have much less muse than I have for other threads -- so in this post, I will list the threads that I love and wish to keep going. I will also list the threads I have lost muse or interest for. These threads will be dropped.

CLICK HERE TO VIEW MY THREAD TRACKER.

PLEASE TELL ME IF: - You’re tracking a thread that I’m not, and that you want to keep. - I’m dropping a thread you want to keep. - I’m keeping a thread you want to drop.

viaminvenia‌:

She knew that Dwarves lived longer lives than mortal Men, and the young princess found herself wondering if perhaps their memories were longer, too. She was not nearly a fraction as old as the Dwarven King, but it felt as though her memories were not so clear as his. He spoke of remembering this mountain so clearly, of the candlelight, and the view from the rampart, with that almost wistful way she’s seen others speak of things they remember from long ago. But he speaks of times so long ago, not even her grandfather had yet been born. And yet Sigrid found herself sometimes forgetting her mother’s face, and that loss had not been nearly so many years ago. 

“It’s alright,” Sigrid told him as he said he’d been trailing off, with something of an apology in his tone. “I don’t know how you remember all of that when it was so long ago… I don’t think I could…  it must be very nice, to be back in your home?”

         THOUGH HIS HOME WAS AS MUCH AS Thorin could recall it being like, it still felt so different to be back there now after all this time. It was as if the dragon’s slumber had brought along much more than physical damage to the old Dwarven kingdom. Thorin found that the air he breathes held less warmth and life than he could recall and there hung something in the air, he didn’t like nor trust it very much. It continued to creep on the nape of his neck, and so he brought up a hand to brush it off.

          “When the damage is to be restored, I am certain this place can return to its former glory,” Thorin mused. A hint of fondness laid on his tongue. He was indeed glad to be back home, even if it had demanded an insufferable sacrifice of him -- who was to follow in his step now that his nephews both had perished?

@fundinson​ ASKED ::  how religious is thorin? in what ways does his faith / the absence of faith manifest?

Random Headcanon Asks | ALWAYS ACCEPTING

       THORIN IS BY FAR NOT THE MOST religious Dwarf around, though he still does hold onto his faith and his beliefs. He grew up more faithful than he turned out to be once older, this mainly due to the great deal of bad fortune Thorin has had to deal with through his life. It left him questioning his faith, and it changed how he regarded it. Though, at his core, he never once stopped holding onto the belief that there is life after one comes to pass in this world. Despite it all, he never once ceased to believe that his kin now rests in the halls of their Maker and that one day, he would get to join them.

        As a son of Durin, Thorin has also sometimes felt a certain kind of pressure because of the legacy he has been a part of since birth. Some of the more religious Dwarves could regard him as something more than just their leader or their king, which sometimes left Thorin exposed to insecurities, or doubts. He never once felt divine, or greater than he is, even if some may be expecting this from someone born into Durin’s Line.

@fundinson​ ASKED :: talk to me about thorin and his relationship with his parents and siblings.

Random Headcanon Asks | ALWAYS ACCEPTING

      THORIN HAD AN INCREDIBLY TIGHT relationship with everyone in his close family. He could never name a favourite if you would ask him to. He bears equal love for all of them, and it’s quite the large amount of love as well. He adores his mother for her tenderness and her sheer amount of wisdom. She was a clever woman, and the most caring and kindest Dwarf Thorin has ever known. She had a heart made of gold, worth far more than everything gathered together in the great treasury of Erebor.

       But it was his father who taught Thorin the majority of what he knows today. It’s hardly a lie when people would tell him he is nearly an exact copy of his father. Only, Thorin carries along the caring nature and the tenderness of his mother, making him also a little softer than his father. This was something his brother could pester him about, from time to time.

        Thorin’s relationship with his siblings was something admirable. They were inseperable, and always had been, from the moment they came into each other’s life. Though perhaps, Thorin’s relationship with his sister was just a tad bit closer than the one he had with his brother as their personalities occasionally caused them to bump heads while in the meantime Dís was just about an exact copy of her mother, who she hasn’t really known for as long as her brothers have, as their mother did not make it out of Erebor alive when Smaug attacked...

ANONYMOUS ASKED ::  What is his favorite season/time of year?

Random Headcanon Asks | ALWAYS ACCEPTING

      THORIN IS QUITE FOND OF WINTER. It’s something that dates back to when he still lived in Erebor. When he would go up on the ramparts to look over the vast plains and the city of Dale in the near distance, he used to be so mesmerized by the snowy landscapes. The Blue Mountains offered him a magical view as well, though he never found it as magnificent to witness as what he is used to seeing at home. Thorin’s fondest time of the year begins with Durin’s Day, and ends with the last snowfall before the start of summer.
