❝ Well, should you have a change of heart, I shall be in the front row of every performance at every theatre across Europe. ❞

𝐈𝐓 𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐒 𝐀 𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐘; a little childish, perhaps, to entertain such notions ( she knows her place, and it is here — isn't it? ). She doesn't fancy herself much of a revolutionary. Corinne has seldom entertained the idea of true mischief — the kind that comes with genuine, lasting consequence — let alone crime. Yet, here in her sitting room, listening to the way Henry speaks — with colour, with life lived — she can't help but wonder what lies beyond the horizon line. Is it as beautiful and fantastical as all of Henry's stories make it out to be?

For all the finery and wealth she possesses, it doesn't change the fact her life is very much a gilded cage. She hadn't initially seen it that way. But as her friendship with Henry grew, so did her desire for more out of life. She thought she was happy most days; content to play the role of dutiful wife and upstanding member of society. But sometimes, sometimes, she wanted to stand calf-deep in seawater and scream until her lungs burned, until someone listened.

❝ Brigands and black hearts, you say? Goodness. To think I've been entertaining a scoundrel this whole time. ❞ She makes a show of clutching the pearls at her neck, lips parted in open-mouthed, exaggerated surprise. Her own subtle mockery of the elite women of society. Then it passes and she's smiling over the rim of her tea cup. Harmless mischief, as it turns out, has its place.

  Strange, the way a laugh could seem so out of place in a home. That thought crossed his mind, though. As Corinne loosed such a pretty chime of giggles that managed, despite their grace, to seem almost as out of place as he did among all the carefully arranged end tables and pastel upholstery. She was the only thing alive in there. The only thing bright, and the rest was painted and pinned, finished and fine, but still and lifeless. Butterflies under glass. Engulfed in empty space.

  Maybe that was why the well to do ladies had their luncheons and tea socials. To put voices and laughter in all that empty space for a little while, at least.

  “The stage?” An affront! As if he'd not managed an impressive array of put-on airs and even more fabricated voices over the course of their talking. “I should think not! Useless drifters, stage folk, always traveling from one place to another with no sensible place in society, and no promise of income 'less they take to robbery. Who could live such a way?!” He grinned his way through the last of it, a laugh breaking through the charade the closer and closer he drew to describing the truth of himself. He reclined against a rigidly stuffed pillow. “No,” he answered in earnest, now, “no stages or traveling troupes for me, but there are only so many ways to entertain oneself on a ship. I promise you cannot overvalue the fine art of of mockery among brigands and black hearts.”

Send "What if they kissed?"

thinking about a social media influencer oc and playing on the concept of parasocial relationships and how much of what people see on social media by big influencers is fake or fabricated in some way. 🤔

This has been on my mind for long but I’m gonna do this - please reblog this if you’re comfortable with pre-establishing relationships. I do not mean “met at the grocery store two weeks ago” or “have a common friend”, but rather stuff like “have been best friends since kindergrden”, “go for a beer every friday”, “friends with benefits”, “dated in highschool”, “hate each other’s guts because -insert reason-”  etc. Something meaningful (but not necessarily shippy) and I mean with muns/characters you have not interacted with, because I cannot believe I am the only one who prefers jumping right into the heart of the human interaction.

VACATION HIATUS 4/22 - 5/3 !!

hi guys! just giving you a heads up that i will be out of town for the next two weeks visiting my dad. i haven't seen him in a few years, so this is exciting for me. i will not be bringing my laptop, however i will be bringing a usb with my icons saved off in case i get the itch to write while im there. my dad has a computer in the guest room, so i'll be able to use that if needed, but im honestly going to try and disconnect from the internet and social media for a bit as my head just hasn't been in the right place lately.

all that to say, i will be back in two weeks and will resume activity at full throttle then. hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend!

#reblogging here too

If Anna Karina had done nothing more than dance on-screen, she would be one of the lasting treasures of the cinema - but she didn’t have to dance, of course, to magnetize the camera’s attention. An avatar of French cool, she incarnated both a matter-of-fact toughness and an expressive glamour worthy of a silent screen star. (x)
