—          IT’S FRUSTRATING TO say the least.  for years, she’d been so desperate to fit in somewhere.  it was devastating to hear that she couldn’t belong somewhere here beneath the waves.  she didn’t quite fit in on land, and apparently she didn’t get find to find a place underwater.  at least not with other people  -  or atlanteans  -  or whatever.  was she destined to be alone?  she shakes it off, huffs a quiet laugh in reply to him.     ❝ yeah.  guess it’s not so bad.  could say i’m lucky, i guess.  lotta people up there don’t get to see what’s down here, not like we do. ❞ 

there was a reason, after all, why she’d been so popular online.  people were curious of the world under the water and if they couldn’t see it for themselves, they’d find some other way, and corrie was giving it to them.  she watches as he dart forward, ahead of her, curiosity flickering in dark eyes.     ❝ i lived out in the ocean for a few years actually, so i suppose i know what it’s like to live in one and not the other.  for a little while at least. ❞     a short laugh as she swims forward, knocking his side with her fin.     ❝ think i’d miss all the food if i did it again. ❞     if there was one thing she loved about being on land, it was the food.     ❝ me neither.  thought i was the only one.  we’re a special kind, huh?  not belongin’ to one world more than the other? ❞

▵ milo​:

          ❝ Do you think I’d get in  trouble  if I brought my skateboard to Hogwarts? ❞      It was a question COMPLETELY out of the blue, but Milo couldn’t help it. He was  famous  for   r a n d o m   questions. When he had a question it  HAD  to asked  right then  && there. If not it would bother him.           ❝I mean ,  I don’t really   c a r e   if I get in trouble, but I’ve never seen anyone  else  really bring anything to Hogwarts from the  MUGGLE  world. Did you? ❞

     @ryppah​  liked  this post  for a Harry Potter starter!!

—          HER LIPS PURSE, thinking.     ❝ well, i mean, it’s not electronic, yeah?  so what could the harm be?  wheels still roll in the wizardin’ world, don’t they? ❞

she didn’t completely understand why muggle things weren’t allowed at hogwarts.  pens were far easier to use than quills.  sure her handwriting was unreadable usually, but it was far worse with a quill.  she had gotten weird looks when she asked the purebloods about it.  then again, she was always getting weird looks with her aussie accent and her funky hair colours.     ❝ you could always do tricks on a broom, couldn’t you? ❞     her eyes light up at the thought.     ❝ think you could stand up on a broom? ❞

Troubled Birds; a sentence meme ( part 1 )

That’s a crazy idea. Insane. It doesn’t make sense.

God can’t help you now.

I preen for Satan.

I’m a dirty bird.

I disembowel, it’s what I do.

I do not go to my happy place, I go to my high lonesome place.

Remembering bitty, lengthy disputes where she came out on top, each all too short.

A meat cleaver, he thought. “Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.”

He told me that I would never forget him, as long as the two of us would live. His eyes demanded an answer. I had overcome my desire to laugh.

The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math.

I’d sell you to Satan for one corn chip.

My modus operandi is dial up the awesome and break the knob off.

You’re a whore and that makes me sad.

Fuck your windshield!

I puke in my kids’ mouth.

I had on my prettiest dress and he never even look at it. “For God’s sake!” That’s all I could think of to say.

Foie gras this, motherfucker!

A profound thinker, but I cannot stick my mental landings.

I hope you’ll excuse my cheap wit, but the hour is late and it’s all I have left.

I am often seized by the fatal American need to have a pretty good time.

Who do I have to blow for some seed?

He proclaimed his undying fidelity and asked me to do the same. I had to overcome my desire to laugh.

Finally he gathered himself together and spoke. “What the hell?”

She was lovely and charming, almost a saint. She told me she enjoyed laughter and dancing, opera, jazz and getting very, very, very high

Perhaps you can do something about the evil spirit in my head.

Looking for trouble and if I cannot find it, I will create it.

They might have passed a very pleasant evening, had shit not gotten real.

Snacking between meals is the least, but tastiest, of my problems.

I’ve been through hell and come out singing.

Your love has made me a drunk.

I’m addicted to shiny things.

I love you despite the warning signs.

▵ harley​:

     “Most people are assholes,” Harley scoffed dismissively. While it was certainly true people shouldn’t judge anyone by appearances, perhaps it could be said that those assholes might have a better sense of self-preservation. Still – She was at least ninety-eight percent sure Corrie wasn’t going to eat her in a bad way. 

     She wrapped an arm around her waist and grinned at her. So how to show a girl a good time? Harley knew what she liked to do for fun, but her particular brand of chaotic merry making may not be every gal’s cup of tea. All in good time anyway. “Seeing as how this now officially our first date, how wouldja like to spend it?”

—          SHE JUST LAUGHS in reply.  well she was right about that much at least.  corrie knew first hand that people could be total and complete assholes.  by now, she was more used to it.  she didn’t like to give it too much space in her brain.  her tongue presses mindlessly to the backs of her sharp teeth as she smiles. 

harley swings an arm around her waist and corrie leans into the touch, against the blonde’s side. (blonde right?  cor couldn’t tell properly, but people had told her that shade of pink to her, was actually blonde).  at harley’s words, cor lights up, grinning wide and bouncing a little on her feet.     ❝ this is a date?  i’ve never been on a date. ❞

▵ arthur​:

 arthur  clicks  his  tongue      .      those  are  heavy  loaded  questions      ,      and  everything  in  him  screams  that  the  answer  to  it  all  would  be  a  resounding  ‘no’      .      no      ,      they  wouldn’t  let  her  in      ,      and  no      ,      they  wouldn’t  understand  better  than  anyone  up  on  the  surface  would      .      they  might  understand  the  shark  part  of  her      ,      but  when  it  comes  to  anything  else      ,      and  her  life  up  above                      well      ,      they’d  be  quick  to  throw  her  out  before  they  ever  listened  to  a  word  she  was  saying      .      he’s  lived  it      .      he  knows      .    

 ❝          like  i  said      ,      i’ve  met  them  before      ,      and  they’re  not  exactly  the  funnest  people  to  be  around      .      they  might  like  this  part  of  you                          ❞                                          he  whirls  around  onto  his  back      ,      gesturing  down  the  entire  length  of  her  body  and  swimming  backwards  to  keep  pace      .                                              ❝                          but  the  part  of  you  that  lives  on  land      ?      the  second  they  hear  about  it      ,      they’re  never  gonna  want  to  hear  from  you  again      .      they  haven’t  lived  up  there  before      .          ❞                                          he  makes  a  face      ,      half  in  regret  and  half  in  sorrow      :      sorry  that  it’s  the  way  it  is      .                                          ❝          it  sucks      .      but  i’ve  lived  in  both  places      .      it’s  cool  to  know  someone  else  that  has      ,      too ��    .          ❞

—          SHE ASKS THE question, but something about his reaction makes her think she shouldn’t have.  that the answer she’ll get is not the one she wants.  it makes her heart sink at the thought.  there was nowhere on the surface that she belonged and so it seemed there wasn’t a place for her beneath the waves either.  so where was she supposed to go?  where did she fit? 

her face might not show emotions in this form, but her silence is answer enough.  she’s not a quiet person.  it’s telling whenever she’s quiet, that she’s upset.     ❝ well screw ‘em then!  who needs ‘em! ❞     better to face it that way.  if they didn’t want her, then she didn’t want them either!     ❝ they don’t know what they’re missin’ out on.  both me and the surface.  plenty to do on land that you can’t do down here. ❞     she loved the ocean, at times more than she loved the land, but she was a creature of both.  so it seemed, she couldn’t so easily give up one or the other.

▵ carmilla​:

     Carmilla opened her mouth to reply, but   p a u s e s . Oddly  enough her question was something she  NEVER  considered. She loved plants, but plants that’s   n a t u r a l     h a b i t a t   is  water  was something that never really  PEAKED  her interest enough to research them. Weird. The thought of plants living COMPLETELY  under water  &&  thrive  in a  completely different environment than she was used to was  quite  interesting.       ❝ I’ve  ACTUALLY  never thought about that. I mean, I guess??  I haven’t done any  research  on them or anything, but I guess they’re cool  &&  different. ❞ Carmilla replied before    s l i p p i n g   into thought about sea plant life on not only  why  she never thought about those plants, but also why she’s never done any research on the plants. However, within a moment she broke her concentration as she realized there was more than just one question. ❝ Oh!!  Sorry, you asked another question. Um, I’m not  really  a vegetarian  &&  definitely not  anti-vegetairan.  It isn’t healthy to  not  eat plants … as long as it’s not  POISONOUS ,  but, uh, I’ll eat  l e a n  meat. My diet is usually closer to a  pescatarian diet … um, how about yourself? ❞

—          IS IT A bunch of weird questions?  perhaps, but she’s never been one to hold her tongue.  some questions just had to be asked and corrie wouldn’t deny herself that.  so she sits, and she waits for an answer.  a smile grows on her face at the open of carmilla’s mouth, only for her to pause instead of speak. 

❝ if ya want, i could go down and pick some for you?  it’d be easy. ❞     corrie may have studied marine biology, but her interest had been more in creatures than the plant life.  there was still a touch of curiosity about it though.  how different from above-sea plant could they be?  she refocuses herself just as carmilla does.     ❝ y’know i thought about goin’ on a pescatarian diet.  it’d be easy ‘cause i’m nearly always underwater y’know?  but i - ❞     a pause where she laughs, nose crinkling,    ❝ i really like food. ❞

her mind’s still spinning, she barely notes the bitterness in his tone when he continues.     ❝ well they’re different too, yeah?  why would they be worried about me bein’ different?  maybe they’d understand, better than anyone up above would. ❞     she’s hopeful.  she wants to believe that there’s some people out there that would accept her for what she was.  there’s a laugh from her.     ❝ well thanks.  count yourself lucky, i don’t show a lotta people this side o’ me. ❞

▵ syde​:

Syde laughed at how Corrie seemed about to burst. “Let’s get drinks,” he beckoned with a nod of his head toward the bar. Maybe sitting down for a spell would help the shark process everything; and it was nice to have something to sip on while seated. 

He was stopped a little over halfway to the bar, though, by a tall, dark-haired woman who smiled at them both, white teeth gleaming amidst dark lipstick. She appeared human - other than her beauty being on par with a movie star. She and Syde chatted briefly, as they seemed to know each other, but Syde didn’t seem to want to talk long and instead promised to catch up later, and soon enough resumed his trip to the bar with Corrie in tow.

“I don’t know about you, but I drink for flavor.” Namely because liquor had no effect on him. “Do you have a usual? My treat,” he grinned.

—          SHE JUST NODS rapidly.     ❝ right.  yes.  okay. ❞     she could start with a drink.  sit and take it all in.  there was just so much to take in.  so many people, so much that she hadn’t seen before.  she’d almost believed that none of it was real. 

she lets him lead her again, heading towards the bar.  he stops momentarily and corrie stares, wide-eyed and mesmerised by the tall woman.  she was lovely.  and corrie was star-struck.  what was she?  was it rude to ask?  instead, she says nothing.  just  ...  stares.  she barely even hears the pair are talking about.  she’s broken out of stupor as syde pulls her on towards the bar. 

she leans heavily into the bar,     ❝ i’m australian, we’re not known for bein’ picky about our drinks. ❞     a quiet hum, fingers rapping on the bartop.     ❝ always did like a dark’n’stormy.  love a classic.  or well, i love a good rum. ❞

▵ bella​:

Bella WANTED to be changed, but not this way. she wanted it to be Edward. twisting the ring on her finger, the young vampire bites down on her lip. the ring belonged to Elizabeth Masen, the mother of Edward. For right now, and for many years, it would just be a promise ring. and it meant the WORLD to her to be allowed to wear it, for Edward to trust her enough. Her breath exhales. 

“super fun, you say?” she raises an eyebrow. “I don’t find a lot super fun. Playing with Rosie…” her sulcata tortoise. “and reading with Edward are fun. this better be fun.” she shoves her hands into her pant pockets. “was australia fun?”

❝ do you like swimmin’?  ‘cause maybe you won’t find it fun if you don’t. ❞     corrie liked swimming, she always had.  it was weird to her when people didn’t enjoy it.  at the question, she hums, bobs her head side to side.     ❝ well, i mean, it was like anywhere.  it had it’s good days and it had it’s bad.  i loved living there, i loved the beach, the sun.  i do miss it sometimes.  suppose it’s one of the worst places to be a vampire, with all the sun an’ all.  shame, i’d like to go back someday. ❞
