think of me fondly .
if you ever find a moment , spare a thought for me .
show a little courtesy !
for god’s sake what’s going on up there ?
there’s no one there , and if there is well then it must be a ghost !
lord heavens , i have never known such insolence !
these things do happen .
you’ve been here five minutes , what do you know ?
these things do happen ! all the time !
you … you’re as bad as him !
oh god in heaven , you’re all obsessed .
… but perhaps you could afford more ?
you can do this !
remember me every so often , promise me you’ll try .
[ name ] , this is doing nothing for my nerves .
it was always clear that this was never meant to be .
think of august when the world was green .
don’t think about the way things might have been .
imagine me trying too hard to put you from my mind .
there will never be a day when i won’t think of you .
she may not remember me , but i remember her .
you must change , and i must get my hat .
things have changed , [ name ] .
stay by my side , guide me .
my soul was weak , forgive me .
look at your face in the mirror , i am there inside .
come to me , strange angel .
my power over you grows stronger , yet .
though you turn from me , to glance behind …
those who have seen your face draw back in fear .
i have needed you with me .
i remember there was mist …
who was the shape in the shadows ?
damn you , you little prying pandora !
is this what you wanted to see ?
now you cannot ever be free !
damn you ! curse you !
can you even dare to look or bear to think of me ?
but [ name ] , fear can turn to love . you’ll learn to see .
come , we must return .
you must be always on your guard .
[ name ] , hold your tongue .
the world wants you !
your devotees are on their knees to implore you !
can you bow out when they’re shouting your name ?
think of how they all adore you !
can you deny us the triumph in store ?
heaven help you , those who doubt .
this is a game you cannot hope to begin !
so , it is to be war between us ?
do you really think that’s wise ?
if he knew the truth , he’d never , ever go !
why have you brought us here ?
don’t bring me back there .
don’t even think it !
[ name ] , i’ve been there .
what you heard was a dream and nothing more .
those pleading eyes , that both threaten and adore .
no more talk of darkness .
i’m here , nothing will harm you .
let me be your freedom .
i’m here , with you , beside you .
say you’ll love me every waking moment .
say you need me with you now and always .
promise me that all you say is true , that’s all i ask of you .
all i want is freedom , and you always beside me .
say you’ll share with me , one love , one lifetime .
anywhere you go , let me go too .
[ name ] , that’s all i ask of you .
say the word and i will follow you .
say you love me - - you know i do .
love me , that’s all i ask of you .
i must go , they’ll wonder where i am .
[ name ] , i love you .
you will curse the day you did not do all that i asked of you !
you can fool any friend who ever knew you !
what a night , what a crowd !
think of it … a secret engagement .
why is it secret ? what have we to hide ?
it’s an engagement , not a crime !
[ name ] , what are you afraid of ?
let’s not argue .
you will understand in time .
why so silent ?
did you think that i had left you for good ?
have you missed me ?
there are worse things than a shattered chandelier .
don’t ask me , i know no more than anyone else !
you were once my companion .
you were all that mattered …
sometimes it seemed if i just dreamed , somehow you would be here .
why can’t the past just die ?!
teach me to live … give me the strength to try .
no more memories … no more silent tears .
no more gazing across the wasted years .
help me say goodbye .
who is it there , staring ?
have you forgotten your angel ?
do not shun me .
[ name ! name ! ] listen to me !
such spirited words !
let’s see how far you dare go !
[ name ] , are you confident this will work ?
are the doors secure ?
i hate to have to cut the fun short , but the joke’s wearing thin .
the trap is set and it waits for it’s prey .
you have come here in pursuit of your deepest urge .
our games of make - believe are at an end .
abandon thought and let the dream descend .
past the point of no return , the final threshold .
what warm unspoken secrets will we learn ?
you have brought me to that moment where words run dry .
i have come here , hardly knowing the reason why .
in my mind i’ve already imagined our bodies entwining … defenseless and silent .
now i am here with you , no second thoughts .
when will the blood begin to race ?
the bridge is crossed , so stand and watch it burn .
lead me , save me from my solitude .
say you want me with you here beside you .
no , don’t shoot !
no , [ name ] , no ! you stay here !
no kind word from words from anyone , no compassion anywhere .
[ name ! name , ] why ? why ?!
have you gorged yourself at last in your lust for blood ?
pity comes too late , turn around and face your fate .
this haunted face holds no horror for me , now .
it’s in your soul that the true distortion lies .
wait , i think my dear , we have a guest !
this is indeed an unparalleled delight ! i had rather hoped that you would come .
have you no pity ?
your lover makes a passionate plea .
i love her ! does that mean nothing ?
show some compassion !
the world showed no compassion to me !
did you think that i would harm her ?
why should i make her pay for the sins that are yours ?
start a new life with me .
this is the choice . this is the point of no return .
the tears i might have shed for your dark fate … grow cold and turn to tears of hate .
[ name ] , forgive me - please , forgive me !
i did it all for you !
say you love him .
either way you choose , he has to win .
i fought so hard to free you .
you deceived me ! i gave my mind blindly .
you try my patience . make your choice .
what kind of life have you known ?
god , give me courage to show you , you are not alone .
forget me , forget all of this .
go , now ! don’t let them find you !
swear to me , never to tell !
go , now ! go now and leave me !

marigold : is your muse prone to jealousy ? how might they handle envious feelings ?
if you ask amanita if she is a jealous person, she will say no! she will not know that she's lying. she operates with the sentiment that she has nothing to be jealous of, that there is nothing the people around her can provide that she does not. which fills her with a sense of importance, that leaves her feeling some sort of entitled to their time & attention. it's not something she would recognize on her own, she'd need someone to point it out for her in order to acknowledge it at all & it would be a grueling process for anyone involved.
i think part of this comes from her growing up in an environment where total devotion is the norm. people around her devoted themselves to a cause, a person, to lolth & it leads her to have this very high expectation surrounding how she should treat people & how she should treat others.
it can be overbearing when she becomes attached to someone if they don't know how to set boundaries & she will lash out if she feels like she's not getting that same level of attention she feels like she needs to give.
she's intensely uncomfortable with the idea of others seeing her in her truth so when she starts feeling bits of it seep through her, she starts to sort of feel that way. when there is someone she cares for, she feels like she has to protect them & protect herself at the same time, which leads her to walking a tightrope without having very good balance.
she falls constantly & has to pick herself up about it. she feels uncomfortable taking any offers for help, any extended hands for support. but when she takes that hand, she is not gonna let go if that makes sense? but she feels like that is normal & so she doesn't think it's a problem.
i think it's worth noting, also, that amanita likes her space until she needs to be in yours. like a cat. she wants that devotion & attention, but only when she wants it. so there is like this duality of her needing to hold on so tight the people she cares about cannot breathe & needing about 5ft in any direction for her to be able to catch a breath.
there's a lot of hypocrisy in her jealousy & it makes her very unpalatable to a lot of people, she can be a very difficult pill to swallow. but if you ask her, she thinks she's an absolute delight!
so long explanation short: she gets very jealous, she would never admit to being jealous & it can be suffocating. it's something she wont recognize on her own, but would work on with a firm hand to guide her. it can be explosive & without that prompting to engage in bettering herself / truth pointed out by anyone else, it can & will get so much worse! she deals with it on her own with denial but her eyes can be pried open pretty easily.
