RP Meme Lines from "AHS: Coven" Episode 12: "Go To Hell"
Your highest honor comes at the greatest price.
Death is not uncommon. And danger inescapable.
I don't even need to read your mind to know what you're doing.
Poor, sweet, dumb, paranoid girl.
The awful truth is I am tired.
I want to know what happened.
She's probably off in some unholy nether realm.
He's a deity. Show some respect.
Respect is something that is definitely lacking around here.
You will show me respect!
You look like shit.
I can't believe you did that to yourself.
Whoa! That was cool!
I did transmutation.
I didn't even have to think about it. It just happened.
Our powers always spike in times of crisis. This is one of those times.
You into girls now?
What are you afraid I might see?
Nothing stays a secret for very long in this house
It will come to light whether you want it to or not.
I don't have any secrets.
I'm the queen-- I will rise again!
My people gonna come for you. Rip you apart.
Give me the box of chicken. Today, please.
I'm going on break, okay?
This was the worst time of your life. Waiting on people who treated you like the piece of trash you thought you were. No power. No respect. And no future that you could see.
Your hell's on Earth.
Don't make me put you in the fryer.
Everybody got to pay in the end.
Wait! I'm not done with you!
Unless you want to stay here forever, you better hurry and get back.
Time moves differently in here.
I'm talking to you, bitch!
You made it back. I'm impressed.
Now that I've proven my power, you're gonna give me some answers.
You remember how you told me you were gonna cut me up in little pieces and plant me all over the place? I thought that was a honey of an idea.
There's got to be a way to kill her.
More marshmallows.
Well, she's not gonna be doing anything while she's chopped into 50 pieces and those pieces are scattered all over the city.
You are one crafty witch.
When do we get to see the attic torture chamber?
These wild tales of barbarity you've heard are nothing more than lies invented by her many enemies.
What a total rip-off.
How did you find me?
A dog returns to its vomit.
I see you finally got that makeover.
I'm here to set the record straight.
She even looks like a monster.
Many times while there were extravagant parties going on just below, the sounds of music and revelry drowning out the cries of torment.
You don't believe it?
It beggars all belief.
The information you've been feeding these people? It's inaccurate.
I want my money back.
Do not touch the display items!
You will never be able to pay for your crimes.
It's your only chance for redemption.
Agree to be publicly humiliated-- all is forgiven.
All anybody has to do nowadays is shed some tears, say some words
It's called repentance.
Oh, repentance my ass.
You think a man jack among them was well and truly sorry? Not a one. Sorry they got caught is all.
Y'all nothing but a pack of sniveling hypocrites, as far as I can see.
I won't profess to be sorry, 'cause I'm not.
I was getting to you before. I know it.
You made me weep.
I wept for the state of this world.
A world of lies. A world that makes promise it cannot keep.
I don't want to die.
I want my portrait hung just there.
What are you doing back there?
Do you need a break?
I probably have two weeks left on Earth.
Maybe we could be kind to one another for a change, huh?
Did you really think self-mutilation would restore your power?
You cannot lose your power. You never will. It's inside of you.
As much as I'd like to, I cannot take credit for that. It's all you.
You're saying good-bye?
A man shouldn't be disturbed when he's playing with his instrument.
You don't have your mother's features.
Oh, you know who I am?
We spent quite an evening together.
She can't love anyone but herself.
I saw everything. Everything.
Unzip me.
Whatever fantasy you have about who she is and what you are to her, it's all bullshit.
She used you. All she does is use people.
I don't suspect you have a passport ready.
You feel that? That empty heartbroken feeling?
When the rest of the world sees a wall, we see a window.
Is she alive?
She's not breathing.
That's deadly nightshade you're about to ingest through your nostrils. I wouldn't sniff around unless you're looking for a bout of delirium.
Where is everybody?
Who would have been cruel enough to commit such an atrocity?
I heard people die after three days without water.
Please tell me this is a hallucination driven by my bouquet of Atropa belladonna.
You were supposed to spend your days in romantic splendor with your true love.
You're just like Halston when he sold his brand to J.C. Penney. You've forsaken your destiny.
You bit it off.
Hey, you're in my spot!
I want to sleep!
We're leaving.
You, don't talk to me!
Is that why you came back, because you can't handle him?
You bitch.
You thought I was some dumb swamp rat you could leave behind to die?
Stop these vulgar fisticuffs at once.
It's beneath us.
I don't want to waste my magic on you.
You hit like a girl!
This is awesome!
You! You must pay for what you've done!
Wow, did you walk into the wrong house.
Who the hell is this guy?
I thought you banished his soul to the appropriate nether realms?
I'll kill all of you!
Is that blood?
How could you do this to me?
I don't remember the last time I was here when there wasn't music playing.
You pack your wader boots?
I don't like catfish. I loathe all bottom-feeders.
She's pretty, but she doesn't have your cheekbones.
I imagine she wanted me to do her dirty work for her.
We had a deal. It wasn't on paper, it wasn't stamped by a notary, but we had a deal!
You have been the most delightful distraction. A life preserver. But I'm gonna be on dry land soon.
Can't you at least pretend? Just, just humor me for a while?
I guess I loved you.
Although I really don't know anything about love, if I'm gonna be honest. But you were the sweetest of lovers. The best I've ever had. And I'll miss that.
Let go of me!
I know you love me!
Christ, I was sick!
I just needed to feel something.
I made you die those little deaths for the first time in your sorry life. I made you sing when you had no tunes left in you.
What you're doing is a crime against humanity.
Well, I've never been one for love, true or otherwise.
Does anyone feel any different?
Where's the body?
Somebody's got to kill this creep.
Is that really necessary?
I'll kill him.
We really don't need a man to protect us.
I know I mistreated you in the past but there's no greater pain than being this close and not, not being able to reach you. And to comfort you.
Oh, I'm consumed with regret.
Why are they doing this to us?
Please, I'm so thirsty.
Please have mercy.
Are you hungry, too?
I'll slice off one of your mama's fingers and feed it to you!
Yes, I have sinned.
I gave no quarter.
Have mercy on my soul!
I don't want to do this!
You will do as you are tasked.
Who is this man?
What is this place?
You have been granted your sweet release from the world of the mortal.
Welcome to hell.
I can't die!
We have a contract!
No one gets away with sin.
Everybody suffers.

Hi Steph! I'm new to tumblr but was introduced to the TJLC fandom through the TJLC explained videos (which I still really love). I have some ideas and want to write metas, but have no idea how to do that. Do you have some tips? Aside from sharing my weird ideas about BBC Sherlock, I mostly want to write metas to hopefully meet some new people and talk about TJLC with them. So I guess that would be a second question, on how to make friends on tumblr. Anyways, I love your whole Nonny Q&A thing
Hi Lovely!!
I’m so happy you’ve come into our corner of the hell hole, LOL. For meeting new people and interacting with the fandom, I’ve actually written about that before, so you can check out these posts here and here. Plus, English doesn’t have to be your first language ;)
As for meta writing, some people have a method, like brainstorming it all out on paper in really complicated steps, but for me personally: I just jot down whatever comes to my head (sort of a “thesis” line") and springboard from there. I literally have no direction whenever I write original meta, and it’s mostly lines of shitposts to refine into a cohesive narrative written in a style that will appeal to my audience. That’s honestly it.
My advice: don’t write a meta just because there’s a place for it; write about it because you are PASSIONATE about your view on the topic you are writing, especially if there is some sort of personal experience involved. For instance, I write passionately about Mary’s character because it helped me understand the motives of a person in my real life and helped me come to terms with the fact that I can’t change said person, so cutting them out of my life was the healthy option. I write passionately about Sherlock’s character because I too feel like a lonely outcast who loves too much and tries to hide it. I write passionately about the narrative arc because I hate things not making sense, and in order for me to make sense of it, I thrive on connecting the dots and helping others do the same. Your readers will KNOW how much love and thought you put into your meta if you’re writing it not for the views but FOR YOURSELF. The notes and additions to it are always a lovely bonus to it. One of my fave metas turned into a community discussion about people’s life experiences, and it REALLY was so amazing to me to see people just as passionate about a character and his life as I was.
Also: don’t be discouraged to write just because you think someone has already written about it! No one has written how YOU view the scene or story or character, and adding your two cents always helps to engage the fandom in your meta! As well, especially if you’re starting out, cite other meta or posts that may have inspired you to that conclusion, and DON’T BE AFRAID TO TAG “MORE POPULAR” PEOPLE" who share a similar viewpoint; they’re all just like you (many of them just not even aware they have any pull in the fandom) and are always up for interesting discussion about anything.
What else? OH If you’re going to write your meta directly into Tumblr rather than in a word or textedit doc, THE “SAVE DRAFT” BUTTON IS YOUR FRIEND. Dear lord, after every paragraph or if you leave your browser window for a few minutes to make accompanying gifs or to find links to add to your post, SAVE DRAFT. I cannot tell you how many meta I have lost and said “fuck it” to because I just wrote it all for hours and didn’t save and my browser crashed or I have accidentally closed the tab instead of going back to the tab (which is mostly MY problem, because I literally have 50 tabs open on any given window, so it gets… small)… this happens more when I do asks (which a large portion of my meta are nowadays) because it’s easy to forget to save it as you’re writing.
Pictures as supporting proof is always a great way to break up walls of text as well. Even if the pics are just used as section headers, it just really gives the eyes a break. Sometimes our eyes get tired, and showing with canonical proof often leaves a greater impact. Have a nice ratio of images to text, your readers will thank you for it :) Image width for tumblr is currently 540px for the dashboard. Though all blogs have their own ratios; find out what yours is, and tumblr *should* auto-resize that pic to fit the dash ratio, so long as it’s over 150px, I believe.
Finally, as you write more and more, I recommend keeping an RTF document of EVERYTHING you’ve ever written, especially if you’re gonna post to tumblr. I myself do have an efficient tagging system, but after awhile it gets messy and harder and harder to find some of my posts since tumblr doesn’t have a way to look at the tags at-a-glance, so I have been cataloguing my posts and replies on a document so I can find them later so I can reference them. Referencing your own posts keep you from not only constantly repeating yourself, but also saves your regulars from reading the same thing over and over again – a link will give people the option to read your extended thoughts on a topic if they so choose. Eventually, your blog will become a Wikipedia of meta – as in THERE’S NO WAY OUT LOL…. Seriously though, people appreciate if you tell them what your posts are referencing or if you just keep a succinct liner about your thoughts with a link to additional thoughts.
Other than that… JUST HAVE FUN. Seriously, just enjoy it! And if-when you do write your meta, feel free to DM it to me! (I get tagged on a lot of things so I tend to miss them, LOL)
Happy writing, Lovely!!
