open to all!! ↳ ᴍᴜꜱᴇ; ꜱʜɪᴍɪ ☼ relationship: could be a friend who took him to the party, could be a complete stranger, literally anyone, any gender...also totally down for this being a historical thread because let's face it who doesn't love writing a drunk babe at a lavish ball plot: basically he wandered off from the main ballroom HOURS ago and your muse has just found him totally sloshed in one of the less-crowded rooms
"I've been having a marvelous time! This might be the best party I've ever been! Least in this century, no doubt..."
Shimi's voice came out practically in song, beaming at the other who had just entered the room and settled upon the lounge chair. He had splayed himself cross the chair, letting his upper body fall into their lap as he stared up at them, a wild grin on his wobbly features. One hand held a glass of champagne, his tie hanging loosely around his neck, his other arm craddling his suit coat. It was well into the evening by now, perhaps so much so as to be considered approaching morning. Yet, the festivities continued with the select stragglers who had drunk so much wine they were likely to stay until morn anyhow.

"Stay with me, won't you? Ohh! Or perhaps fetch us another bottle of sherry? So long as you promise to come back!"

Daughter of the Pirate King Book Quote Rp Meme
Tumblr media
book by Tricia Levenseller - feel free to change pronouns or edit quotes for rp purposes

“The sea watches over me. She protects her own.”
“You are here because I want information.” 
“That’s nice. I want a clean cell.” 
I owe him my life and my allegiance. He is the best thing I have, and I would never do anything to hurt or betray him.” 
“A challenge and an insult all wrapped into one. My specialty.” 
“Oh, the ridiculous things one has to do when one is a pirate.” 
“Lass, you've the face of an angel but the tongue of a snake.” 
“I live on the cusp of two worlds, trying desperately to fit into one.” 
“I am me because I choose to be me. I am what I want. Some people say you have to find yourself. Not I. I believe we create ourselves to be what we want.”
“I am me because I choose to be me. I am what I want. Some people say you have to find yourself. Not I. I believe we create ourselves to be what we want” 
“then remembers he’s not wearing a shirt. A fact I haven’t been able to forget.” 
“I’ve no choice but to seduce the captain.” 
“I want to kiss you again.” 
“No I can only tell what you're feeling."
“He’s an ugly drunk because it takes away the pain. He has no desire to live, yet no desire to die, either. It’s a tough spot to be in.” 
“It’s a bold and stupid move. I like it.” 
“Anyone ever tell you, you can't be hurt by something you don't believe in?"
“Your gun would have a hard time working once it’s wet.” 
“I didn’t say I had to be the one to shoot.” 
“But let’s face it, you’d like that pleasure for yourself.” 
“You’re welcome to ask one of the crew to share. I’m sure any of them would volunteer.” 
“Just as there is a destination far beyond this one, there will be a time far beyond this one when there won't be any pain, just the memory of it.” 
“My father controls the ocean.” 
“I know all the horrible things he’s put you through. And I am here to liberate you.” 
Do you think a single member of the crew would be able to focus on their duties if you wore that?” 
“If we’re to survive this, you need to stay put.” 
“There you are. You’re a bit younger than I expected.”
“What the—I misread where that was going. I wanted to irritate him. To get under his skin. To mess with him because he’s working for the enemy. I hadn’t exactly expected him to get all mushy as a result.”
“She’s got a fiery temperament that matches the red hair atop her head.” 
"Please. I want this. Don't you want this?" 
“Being underestimated always works to my advantage. But sometimes I find it offensive. That often makes me violent” 
“There are different kinds of fathers. Those who love unconditionally, those who love on condition, and those who never love at all.” 
“I think you’re acting like a jealous husband.” 
You know, men that women shackle themselves onto.” 
"Yes. I just can't figure out if you're a good pirate or a really good pirate.” 
“I value other traits above an affinity for torture and power over those weaker than oneself. I value brilliant minds, honest souls, and those with long endurance. I forge relationships based on trust and mutual respect, not fear and control.” 
“Pain goes away eventually.Death is permanent.” 
“My own crew back at the keep is nearly entirely composed of women. A fact I am proud of.” 
“I am always the one in control.” 
“You saved me.” “
Yes, and then you took credit for it. What kind of thanks is that? That was damned insulting.” 
“How can I be betrayed by someone who was never on my side to begin with?”
“When fancy strikes, a man gets this notion in his mind that everything a woman does is for him.” 
“Which means if I’m to keep up appearances, I’ll have to escape the ship. Then get caught on purpose. Oh, the ridiculous things one has to do when one is a pirate.” 
“I’ll say whatever I please. I’m not a lady, I’m a pirate!” 
he only said I ‘probably’ shouldn’t speak to her, on account of beautiful women have a way of playing tricks on a man’s mind. But it wasn’t a direct order.” 
“Yes, we should all worship the stars. They are as useful as they are beautiful. Some never change position. They are constants in the sky. Without them, we would be lost.” 
“If you ever try to make me lose face in front of my men like that again, I may just leave your cell unlocked at night so anyone can wander in, and I will fall asleep, listening to your screams.”
 “You’re daft if you think you will ever hear me scream. And you’d better pray you never fall asleep while my cell is unlocked.”
“You`re a woman. Act like it. You shouldn`t be saying such foul-'
“He wears his confidence as if it is merely another article of clothing upon his person.” 
'Because pirates aren`t supposed to look like you and talk like you talk and do what you do. You`re confusing, and it`s messing with my head.”
“He said I was beautiful?”
“I think you’re acting like a jealous husband.” 
“You know, men that women shackle themselves onto.” 
“Even a man who’s spent his whole life at sea has reason to fear her when she’s angry. But not I. I sleep soundly. Listening to her music. The sea watches over me. She protects her own.” 
“Imagine that you traveled all over the world, looking for happiness, looking for thrills to pass the time. Imagine seeing everything there is to see and still not finding happiness.” 
“Well, I made you something. Look here. I gave this squid your face.” 
“If you’re sorry, that means you want forgiveness. Is that what you’re asking for? If you want forgiveness, that means you want to make things right. And if you want to make things right, that means that you don’t intend to put me in harm’s way again. So, if you are saying you’re sorry, I don’t think you understand what that entails.” 
“Many can’t even grow hair on their chins.” 
"You stole my blanket, “
“Just as there is a destination far beyond this one, there will be a time far beyond this one when there won’t be any pain, just the memory of it.” 
“Has he been conscious at all?” 
“Yes. He woke up once and looked at me funny.” 
“Did he say anything?” 
“He said, ‘You don’t have red hair.’ Then he fell back asleep.” 
“But if I’m being honest … it’s because he said please.” 
“Everyone has something dark in their past. I suppose it's our job to overcome it.” 
“Imagine that you traveled all over the world, looking for happiness, looking for thrills to pass the time. Imagine seeing everything there is to see and still not finding happiness. Well, that would give you a very bleak outlook on life, would it not?” 
"I was born to the pirate king.” 
“I am me because I choose to be me. I am what I want. Some people say you have to find yourself. Not I. I believe we create ourselves to be what we want. Any aspect of ourselves that we do not like can be altered if we make an effort.” 
“Easy? Do you think it was easy for me to watch you? Seeing you up there, knowing the pain you must be in, it … it made me feel—it would have hurt less if I had been the one hanging. I hated myself for what happened. And the only way I could punish myself was to force myself to watch you in pain. That was my punishment.” 
“he turns me to the right, where we face a set of stairs leading belowdecks. It’s an uncomfortable trip downward. Twice I miss a step and nearly tumble all the way down. he catches me each time, but his grip is always firmer than necessary. My skin will likely be bruised by tomorrow. Knowing this makes me angry.Which is why when we are three steps from the bottom, I trip him.He’s clearly not expecting it. He falls, but I didn’t take into account that tight grip of his. So, naturally, he takes me with him.The impact is painful.” 
“Easy? Do you think it was easy for me to watch you? Seeing you up there, knowing the pain you must be in, it … it made me feel—it would have hurt less if I had been the one hanging. I hated myself for what happened. And the only way I could punish myself was to force myself to watch you in pain. That was my punishment.” 
“mostly human. But when I allow myself to use the gifts my mother gave me, I become something else. And it kills me a little inside each time I have to fight it back off.” 
“I stay because he’s my brother. Because he is the only family member who loves me unconditionally. Something you could never understand.”

Selectively:Open to female muses
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Daemon had been finishing up a turn of practice on the training grounds. A bead of sweat the only sign of his exhaustion in the heat of the sun. He heard the familar swish of skirts and violet eyes turned to meet them as he finished running a gentle rag along the edges of his sword. A true warrior kept his battle instruments safe and at the ready. And he chose honor in suprising places and ways. A slightly impish smile pulled at the edges of his mouth as he caught the eyes of the lady who looked like a lovely flower swathed in satin though he knew of the thorns around that particular bloom. She seemed to flag her interest onto him. A slightly raised white blonde eyebrow arched. “To what do I owe this particular greeting?”

even as we breathe.
dialogue prompts from even as we breathe: a novel by annette saunooke clapsaddle.
my plan didn't quite work the way i thought it would.
you sure have a way with words.
should i be afraid?
empathy is fossilized in our bones.
if you keep your mouth shut and your ears open, you might just learn a thing or two.
there's rumors about this place, you know.
sometimes i poke fun when i'm on edge.
i want to be respected, not respectable.
just ignore me. heck, everyone else does.
have you ever felt like everybody was staring at you?
your demeanor is distinctly unwelcoming.
humility has its place.
don't do anything to get yourself fired.
nothing scary about nothingness. it's the something you should be afraid of.
you didn't play games going up?
i never feel like people are telling me the whole truth.
everyone has their own take, their own theory.
biblical references aren't exactly my forte.
but how will i know when i'm done?
you don't need to lie to make me feel better.
it's just how i was raised.
tell me about your family.
i'm surprised you don't already know all my business. everybody else sure does.
you speak of the dead so easily.
thought i might have to wake you for dinner.
is this your hiding place?
i'm not scared. i'm mad.
you make odysseus look like a joyrider.
not all love is made of equal parts.
what's wrong with you today?
everything okay back home?
it's not forever. just try to remember that.
just trying to stay out of trouble.
you can't prepare yourself for things like this.
you knew and you didn't tell me.
it's too early in the morning for ghost stories.
you were always my soft place to land.
i need you to see me.
i thought i was protecting you.
i do care about you. you're my best friend.
something about war buddies ties people together forever.
there's always at least an ounce of truth in storytelling.
sometimes i think you've seen more than you've told me.
i can't imagine leaving without you.
you truly can be such a raincloud.
i got used to it. i didn't know anything else.
i don't mean to lay a bunch of heavy stuff on you.
sometimes the answers are not the ones you want to hear.
sometimes you have to decide if you want truth or peace.
i can't believe we're having a conversation about this.
what's happening to me?
i'm not sure i'd be able to teach you, but i can try.
i don't mind listening. listening is easy.
i'm sure you'll find the right home, in the end.
sometimes not knowing your own story is the most damaging thing of all.
i once had to be quiet to survive.
i thought i told you i didn't want to see you again.
you sure can't catch a break, can you?
i never knew how to ask.
you're too mean to let anything keep you down for too long.
nobody deserves to die alone.
you've used me up.
do you think i love ____ more than i love you?
i do love you. i always will. but we have to accept the hands we're dealt.
when i was young, i wanted nothing more than to get as far away from here as i could get.

ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE (2001)
SENTENCE STARTERS PULLED FROM THE DIALOGUE FEATURED IN THE ANIMATED FILM ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE, with some quotations slightly modified for roleplay purposes.
CHANGE gendered words and in-universe phrases as needed.
SPECIFY muse for multimuses.
Tumblr media
   “   Uh, would you gentlemen please excuse me for a moment?   ”
   “   If I ever hear the word "Atlantis" again, I'll step in front of a bus!   ”
   “   You have a lot of potential.   ”
   “   Who... who are you? How did you get in here?   ”
   “   I'm acting on behalf of my employer, who has a most intriguing proposition for you.   ”
   “   Relax. He doesn’t bite … often.   ”
   “   Did you really know my grandfather?   ”
   “   We stayed close friends ‘till the end of his days.   ”
   “   He spoke of you often.   ”
   “   I've spent my whole life studying dead languages.   ”
   “   I will stake everything I own, everything that I believe in... that this is the genuine Shepherd's Journal.   ”
   “   I'll show them! I will make them believe.   ”
   “   For years your granddad bent my ear with stories about that old book.   ”
   “   Your grandpa was a great man. You probably don't realize how great.   ”
   “   Don't let her age fool you.   ”
   “   Our lives are remembered by the gifts we leave our children.   ”
   “   Atlantis is waiting. What do you say?   ”
   “   Boy, I’m so excited, l-l-l-I can't even hold it in.   ”
   “   Excuse me? I need to, uh, report in?   ”
   “   Blondie, I got a bone to pick with you.   ”
   “   If you're lookin' for the pony rides, they're back there.   ”
   “   You can’t put a price on the pursuit of knowledge.   ”
   “   This should be enriching for all of us.   ”
   “   Now tell me your story, my little friend.   ”
   “   This is an outrage! You must leave at once! Out, out, out, out, out!   ”
   “   Now, what have I told you about playing nice with the other kids?   ”
   “   Back to the pit from which you came!   ”
   “   OK, everybody. I want you to give Mr. Thatch your undivided attention.  ”
   “   Cartographer, linguist, plumber. Hard to believe he's still single.   ”
   “   Captain, you'd better come look at this, sir.   ”
   “   Do you want to do my job? Be my guest.   ”
   “   How much time do we have?   ”
   “   I don't think he's comin' back.   ”
   “   Move it, people! Sometime today would be nice!   ”
   “   I won't sugar-coat it, gentlemen. We have a crisis on our hands.   ”
   “   Looks like all our chances for survival rest with you, Mr. Thatch.   ”
   “   We’re all gonna die.   ”
   “   Looks like we have a little roadblock.   ”
   “   That thing is going to keep me up all night, I know it.   ”
   “   You know, we've been pretty tough on the kid. What do you say we cut him some slack?   ”
   “   Hey, Milo! Why don't you come sit with us?   ”
   “   Hey, Milo, don't you ever close that book?   ”
   “   I know, I know. Sometimes I get a little carried away.   ”
   “   You know, that's what this is all about, right? I mean – discovery, teamwork, adventure. Unless, maybe, you're just in it for the money.   ”
   “   Hey, how’d you learn how to do that?   ”
   “   I never got to meet your grandfather. What was he like?   ”
   “   He was like a father to me, really.   ”
   “   My parents died when I was a little kid, and he took me in.   ”
   “   That is so cute!   ”
   “   Uh, no... no offense.. but how does a teenager become the chief mechanic of a multimillion dollar expedition?   ”
   “   So, what... what happened to your sister?   ”
   “   I just like to blow things up.   ”
   “   All right, who's not dead? Sound off.   ”
   “   Maybe that's our ticket outta here.   ”
   “   I gotta hand it to you. You really came through.   ”
   “   They can smell fear just by looking at ya.   ”
   “   We are explorers from the surface world. We come in peace.   ”
   “   Come. You must speak with my father now.   ”
   “   Someone's having a good time.   ”
   “   Commander, there were not supposed to be people down here. This changes everything.   ”
   “   This changes nothing.   ”
   “   You presume much to think that you would be welcome here.   ”
   “   I know what you seek and you will not find it here.   ”
   “   Your journey has been in vain.   ”
   “   May I respectfully request that we stay one night, sir?   ”
   “   Your heart has softened, Kida.   ”
   “   A thousand years ago, you would have slain them on sight.   ”
   “   We were once a great people. Now we live in ruins.   ”
   “   The kings of our past would weep if they could see how far we have fallen.   ”
   “   Our way of life is dying.   ”
   “   When you take the throne, you will understand.   ”
   “   Well, the King and his daughter don't exactly see eye to eye.   ”
   “   Well, if he's hiding something, I want to know what it is.   ”
   “   Look, I have some questions for you, and I'm not leaving this city until they're answered!   ”
   “   Oh, there is so much to ask about your world.   ”
   “   You are a scholar, are you not?   ”
   “   I got a few questions for you, too. So let's do this, OK? You ask one, then I'll ask one, then you, then me, then...well, you get it.   ”
   “   how did you get here? Well, I mean, not you personally... but your... your culture. I mean, how did all of this end up down here?   ”
   “   Wh... what... what … are you telling me… that you remember what happened because you were there? No, that... that's impossible...   ”
   “   How was my accent?   ”
   “   You know, you deserve credit for even... even gettin' this far.   ”
   “   By the way, we were never properly introduced. My name's Milo.   ”
   “   Uh, hey, you got a nickname?   ”
   “   You know, my grandpa used to tell me stories about this place as far back as I can remember.   ”
   “   I just wish that he could be standing here with me.   ”
   “   We are not thriving. True, our people live. but our culture is dying.   ”
  “   I wish there was something I could do.   ”
   “   Why don't you lead the way, because I have no idea where we're going.   ”
   “   This is amazing! A complete history of Atlantis!   ”
   “   I am such an idiot.   ”
   “   This is just another treasure hunt for you.   ”
   “   I would've told you sooner, but it was strictly on a need-to-know basis.   ”
   “   Welcome to the club, son.   ”
   “   Mercenary? I prefer the term "adventure capitalist."   ”
   “   You don't know what you're tampering with, Rourke.   ”
   “   Academics. You never want to get your hands dirty.   ”
   “   I got to admit, I'm disappointed.   ”
   “   You're an idealist, just like your grandfather.   ”
   “   For once, do the smart thing.   ”
   “   I really hate it when negotiations go sour.   ”
   “   Well, as usual, diplomacy has failed us.   ”
   “   You've got to listen to me. You don't have the slightest idea what this power is capable of.   ”
   “   Let’s get this over with. I don’t like this place.  
   “   Doesn’t anything surprise you?   ”
   “   Talk to me, Thatch. What's happening?   ”
   “   So I guess this is how it ends, huh?   ”
   “   You've read Darwin. It's called natural selection. We're just helping it along.   ”
   “   Be serious. This is wrong, and you know it.   ”
   “    You pick now of all times to grow a conscience?   ”
   “   She has been chosen... like her mother before her.   ”
   “   I followed you in, and I'll follow you out.   ”
   “   it's been my experience that when you hit bottom, the only place left to go is up.   ”
   “   What do you think that you are doing?   ”
   “   We're going to save Atlantis, or we're going to die trying.   ”
   “   Well, I have to hand it to you. You're a bigger pain in the neck than I would have ever thought possible.   ”
   “   Tired? Aw, that's a darn shame, because I'm just getting warmed up.   ”
   “   There's a hero's welcome waiting for the man who discovered Atlantis.   ”
   “   I don't think the world needs another hero.   ”
   “   I'm going to miss that boy. At least he's in a better place now.   ”

The princess had settled in for the night after a long bath in her grand tub. Her maids had advised her to be more cautious when roaming her room unclothed, but she found no harm in it whatsoever. After all, who could see her from such a high of a view? Just like any other night, she left her window cracked open, welcoming in the cool breeze of the night. She wore her standard undergarments and a pastel pink nightgown that night. It did not take long for her to fall asleep in her luxurious bed…however later in the night, she heard a strange noise in her room. What could it possibly be?

" they said i would find you here, " returning from his campaign. several moons have passed since he has seen the other. he has suffered the cold winter in a blizzard of snow, not like the heat of the roman sun. the roman men, unprepared for such a cold climate that some had died within the first few weeks. he looks different. hair is longer, curled. and face, stubbled.
he has seen droplets of blood, garnishing the ground and seeming even brighter as they lay against each snowflake that had settled upon the ground. he has butchered men. he has burned villages in his conquering of land. and yet, on his return, such celebrations of barbaric behavior had not been cheered on by the other. instead, they were nowhere to be found in the crowd of faces. hiding, it seems, in the palace, among the hall of faces where marble busts of great caesars before he, reside. " why are you hiding? "

i like being alone. i've always found myself drawn to the aesthetic.
if you could go anywhere on earth, where would you go?
you can't even dream a whole dream, can you?
it is absolutely my business. i'm looking after you.
i don't know what you're playing at, but you are courting disaster!

you did this to yourself, [name], not me.
you are and always have been penis cancer in human form.
i missed you at breakfast.
so, did you decide where you're going to?
i'm not like you. i like having a job.
we could grab a burger and a beer.
keep your head up, all right?

open to: f muse: Guy of Gisborne plot:  Guy is the King’s trusted advisor, so when the Queen reveals that she and the King are unable to produce a child and she fears what the King will do with her, he is more than happy to lend his advice… and possibly his assistance.
Tumblr media
“Just because you haven’t been able to get with child doesn’t mean that you’re barren, my lady,” Guy pointed out sympathetically, casting a conspiratorial glance around the study before he continued, ensuring that they were alone. “I know it’s treason to say as much, but it is possible that the King is the problem.” He lowered his voice as he met the Queen’s gaze, pinning her with his stare. He knew as well as she did that the King would never admit the possibility, but the current Queen was not his first wife that hadn’t been able to produce an heir for him, and Guy understood why she would fear being discarded for the same reason. “But even if that is the case, I’m afraid the only solution would be to… take another man to bed, my lady.”

i don't care what people say, the fact that there is still an active fandom for TOG, even though it is quieter, is impressive. and even more impressive is that the BoNers continue to live 😘

Someone picked up the sun and pinned it to the sky again, but every day it hangs a little lower than the day before. It's like a negligent parent who only knows one half of who you are. It never sees how its absence changes people. How different we are in the dark.Harwin couldn’t help raising a manicured eyebrow in interest as the female seemed to reach for one of the swords he had been cleaning and sharpening. “Is this your way of asking me to train you? I’m not sure that people would find me teaching a lady such as yourself sword fighting. Though I would listen to your pitch should you request it.”

Open to males 30+ (historical au. please don’t like my starters)
In the weeks since their son had been born Belle had found herself staying in their tent more and more, just watching the small child. It felt so strange to her that there was a war going on and she could be so happy with her husband and her child, her little prince. The rightful prince. Hearing someone walked in Belle looked up, expecting to see another wetnurse trying to take her baby from her (how they managed to still have those in their camp she didn’t know) but instead Belle caught the eye of her husband. “I’m watching him sleep again.” Not that he needed to hear that, it was obvious what Belle was doing. “He’s just so perfect. We made something so perfect.” Soon enough she would have to come out, to rule properly but she needed time.

crime and punishment, pt. 2.
dialogue prompts from crime and punishment by fyodor dostoevsky.
nothing could induce me to leave you now.
tomorrow all this nonsense will be over.
the drink makes me swear. don't mind it.
even running away is impossible now.
i'm not drunk. i'm never drunk.
do you trust me, or not?
you understand me because you are an angel.
you seem to have fallen from heaven.
i've sworn never to argue.
through error, you come to the truth.
you never reach any truth without making fourteen mistakes, very likely a hundred and fourteen.
we can't even make mistakes on our own account.
talk nonsense, but talk your own nonsense, and i'll kiss you for it.
to go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.
lock your door, and don't let anybody in.
what an ass you are sometimes.
i sometimes speak too much from the heart.
your complete recovery depends solely on yourself.
i never go to bed before two at home.
a normal man hardly exists.
why, are you afraid of me?
that's all in another world, and so long ago.
why are you laughing again?
why do you demand of me a heroism you do not have?
if i ruin anyone, it is only myself.
to act sensibly, intelligence is not enough.
people will write anything.
how did you find me, by the way?
if only you knew how you interest me.
pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart.
the really great man must, i think, have great sadness on earth.
be angry with me, if you like.
i knew you were pretending to be asleep.
reason is the slave of passion, you know.
there's something wrong with you.
i rarely lie.
in the past, have you ever seen ghosts before?
i know i'm not well, but i don't know what's wrong.
i don't believe in a future life.
there's something about you like me.
if only you knew what you're asking.
i knew you were lying.
forget me altogether. it's better.
if you love me, give me up.
i knew you would run after me.
aren't you sorry?
you're not saving anyone from anything.
what does god do for you?
don't ask. you don't deserve.
children can't remain children here.
you are like a child asking for matches.
don't play with me. don't dare.
