Left handed

Sirius and Regulus were both left-handed. This was seen as low class in the Black family so they both were forced taught to write with their right hand. Sirius being Sirius never really cared and wrote with his left hand because "I shall write how it is comfortable mother, and my comfort lies in writing with my left hand so.......fuck you <3". But Regulus, oh poor Regulus tried to write so neatly with his right hand to make his mom proud that he would take double the time to write down notes.

That was until he learnt it didn't matter.

On a normal Tuesday morning in his 6th year at Hogwarts Sirius black was feeling an emotion he hadn't felt since the last time he saw Moony in a suit......dumbstruck. He had stopped in his tracks, successfully causing Peter, walking behind him, to fall down.

James frantically tried to look at the subject that had caused Sirius Black to finally and uncharacteristically shut up about how amazing eyeliner was.

"Padfoot you okay?"

"He's writing with his left hand."

"What?"

"I- James, he's writing with his left hand". Offering no more of an explanation the oldest Black brother walked to the Slytherin table as if in a trance. With the determination he was walking with it would take an act of god to stop him. He reached and very deliberately did not look at anyone but his younger brother, writing his potions homework, with his left hand.

"You aren't supposed to stir that 7 times clockwise, it's 3 times clockwise and 4 times anti-clockwise. It makes the midnight blue shade appear quicker."

Regulus looked up to judge whoever had dared try and correct him when he looked up and realised.....oh. Okay.

"Hello to you too dear brother", he said with a raised eyebrow and nothing more.

"You're writing with your left hand'

"So I am."

"It would piss her off if she knew"

"So it would."

A quick flash in Sirius' face reminded Regulus of the look he gave him when Regulus stole cookies for both of them with the help of Kreacher, pure unrestrained pride.

"Well mieux vaut tard que jamais" Sirius said and quickly walked away

And that one proverb told Regulus that he was forgiven, that Sirius understood and most importantly, that he had his brother back.

100 Days of Productivity [Day: 79] || 100 Jours de Productivité [Jour: 79]

I've finally fallen back into a daily routine that I can be happy with. There's been enough time before & after work to get everything done that I've wanted to while also having enough time for me. It feels good to be back on track with my reading goal for the year & to be digging into book recommendations that are more to my liking.

early mornings are a lot more rewarding when you're able to spend them doing what you want to. & life feels like it's worth living when you can give yourself the freedom you deserve.

currently listening // Expression by my!lane, Jetha

J'ai enfin retrouvé une routine quotidienne qui me convient. J'ai eu assez de temps avant et après le travail pour faire tout ce que je voulais faire, tout en ayant assez de temps pour moi. Cela fait du bien de retrouver mon objectif de lecture pour l'année et de me plonger dans des recommandations de livres qui me plaisent davantage.

Les petits matins sont beaucoup plus gratifiants lorsqu'on peut les consacrer à ce que l'on veut. Et la vie vaut la peine d'être vécue lorsqu'on peut se donner la liberté que l'on mérite.

chanson // Expression par my!lane, Jetha

Fun BSD French translation details and choices - Episode 9 (by someone who does not understand Japanese but thinks the differences with the English translation/subtitles are fun)

General notes:

Kyouka's ability is called "La Princesse démoniaque" (The Demonic Princess).

Side note, they decided to adapt instead of translating Dazai's stupid suicide song, both here and the first time he sang it. The lyrics actually rhyme and the air is completely different. Dazai sings about a lover's suicide being sad and lonely if you're alone.

The subtitles called Chuuya's ability "Tristesse profanée" (Desecrated Sadness, or well, Tainted Sorrow).

Fukuzawa and Kunikida keep calling Atsushi "le petit" or "le petit nouveau". Literally that translates to "the little one", but the best way I can explain it is it's used to both refer to children, or imply someone is a beginner. It can be affectionate or condescending. Chuuya also uses it this episode when talking about Akutagawa ("that apprentice Akutagawa" becomes "le petit Akutagawa"). Dazai and Chuuya will also use it a bunch with each other later.

Today's quotes:

Fukuzawa: Ne t'en fais pas, je n'aurai aucun problème à fermer le caquet de ces petits fonctionnaires. (Don't worry, I will have no issue with shutting those little government officials up.) Eng: Don't worry. They owe me enough that I can let a minor official wait.

Chuuya: Voilà un spectacle de qualité, ça vaut tous les meilleurs films du monde. (Here's a quality show, as good as the best movies in the world.) Eng: This is a great view, it rivals even a masterpiece worth 10 billion.

#i also figured out since last week that the dub actors are belgian and not french! i mean they still speak french but not from france #bsdrewatch2023 #bsd french dub adventures #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #apparently i talk sometimes

"Alors que j'étais assise dans le jardin, j'ai fermé les yeux et je me suis retrouvée dans le même paysage où j'étais il y a quelques semaines... Sauf que cette fois, je portais une robe blanche... Et je n'étais pas seule. Je l'ai vu. Le même homme mystérieux que j'avais vu il n'y a pas longtemps. Pourquoi était-il là, parmi tous les gens ? Il ne semblait pas remarquer ma présence jusqu'à ce qu'il se retourne pour me faire face. Nous nous sommes simplement regardés pendant ce qui semblait être une éternité. J'ai entendu une voix grave murmurer "réveille-toi". Quand j'ai cligné des yeux, je me suis retrouvée dans ma chambre une fois de plus... Serait-il insensé de s'éprendre de quelqu'un que l'on vient à peine de rencontrer...? C'est absurde. Je devrais savoir mieux que ça. Je ne peux pas me permettre de me retrouver dans cette situation à nouveau ! Je ne veux pas que ma maison soit à nouveau réduite en cendres. Ça ne vaut pas le risque."

-Raina A.

Translation : As I sat in the garden, I closed my eyes and suddenly found myself in the same scenery I had been in a few weeks earlier... Except this time, I was wearing a white dress... And I wasn't alone. I saw him. The same mysterious man I had seen not long ago. Why was he there, of all people? He didn't seem to notice my presence until he turned around to face me. We just gazed at each other for what felt like an eternity. I heard a deep voice whisper "wake up". When I blinked, I was back in my room once again... Would it be foolish to be infatuated with someone I had only just met...? That's absurd. I should know better. I can't allow myself to be in that situation again! I don't want my home to be destroyed once more. It's not worth the risk.

-Raina A.

Foolish One

Pairing: Eddie Munson x Latina Reader

Summary: You are pining after Eddie as you two get to know each other post high school. AU, could be modern but I don't think I get specific enough for it to matter so it could also be 80s

A/N: This was supposed to be shorter, but really it's just an incredibly self indulgent post high school AU with Eddie. It's not my best work, but I'm going through some stuff in my personal life and it was cathartic writing it out pretending it's about Eddie and not a real person, so that's what I did and I thought sharing it could maybe be fun

Warnings: angst, (mutual?) pining, fluff (if you squint), not a happy ending (I'm sorry, if I have to suffer with my feelings than so do all of you)

Also kinda based on a Taylor Swift Song: Foolish One (TV, From the Vaut)

words:~2200

Masterlist

You knew of Eddie while in high school. How couldn’t you? It was a small town where almost everyone knew each other. It didn’t matter that he wasn’t in your class or that you had never spoken a single word to each other, you knew of him because everyone knew of him. Since you didn’t really know him, you never had the highest opinion of him either. All you saw was the trouble making metal head who was terrible at school and sold drugs on the side. Not that you were one to judge, you didn’t know his life and he never seemed to cause anyone else harm. You just knew you never would have clicked and your friend groups never crossed paths anyway. It wasn’t until two years after you graduated high school, attending a college in Indianapolis and working a job on the side to support yourself that you finally officially met Eddie. He had transferred stores from your hometown to the location in Indianapolis. You were an assistant manager at this store and it just so happened to be that Eddie was an assistant manager as well. When you heard the announcement of his transfer, your ears perked up at recognizing the name.

“I know him,” you had said to your work friend. “We went to high school together.”

“Oh nice, is he good at his job?” your friend asked you. “I’m not sure. I mean he didn’t have what I would call the best work ethic in school so I’m surprised he’s a manager now. It’ll be interesting to see how that goes.” You were less than enthused, hoping your job didn’t get harder because someone on the team was a notorious slacker.

However, as it turned out, Eddie was an amazing coworker. You worked a lot with him, and got to know him for the first time. He was smart and funny and an overall good person. He was in Indianapolis building a fanbase for his band and also earning more money so he could go to a bigger city and hopefully make it big. The two of you shared a lot of similar interests and cared a lot about the same things. You both had this drive for justice, Eddie was a big attendee of protests in the name of different causes and organizations, and you were planning to become a lawyer one day to work for an organization that would help immigrants in situations where they couldn’t afford one.

He expressed concern for you when you were overly stressed with school and work and tried his best to help alleviate that stress where he could. You also became friends outside of work as he invited you to a few protests he knew you would feel passionate about, and you had enjoyed some nights out with him and some other managers at your store. And it only took a few months to realize that you had developed feelings for Eddie, but that wasn’t a revelation you were very happy about.

It just so happened to be that Eddie was already dating someone else, and they seemed very happy together being they had been together for about a year already. She had also gone to your high school but while Eddie was only a year younger than you so you had at least known of him, she was a few years younger and you didn’t even recognize her name. Turns out she was living in Cincinnati attending college to be a teacher, and he tried to spend any free time they had to go visit her.

It made you sad, but you tried to brush it off quickly, scoffing at the absurdity of you dating Eddie anyway. He was friendly to you because he was friendly to everyone at work. You guys had become friends, but it was clear he loved his girlfriend, and you would never be one to break a couple up. Besides, you were too busy to date anyway. You had tried a few times since starting college and they never lasted that long.

However, no matter how much you tried, you could not stop the bubbly feelings you got every time the two of you spoke about your shared interests, or when you joked about the mundane parts of your job, or when you felt a sense of calmness, happiness, and acceptance whenever you were around him. And with the way he increasingly spent time with you and seemed to feel so comfortable and happy around you as well, you began to see patterns that maybe indicated he felt the same way for you. Like whenever you caught him staring at you while the two of you worked on paperwork in the office, or when he would blush at a compliment or a daring tease sent his way.

“Oh so you’re like a nerd?” You teased one day at work when he had told you about DnD and all the time he’s spent running campaigns. He gawked at you in fake offense.

“Excuse me? Those are strong words coming from someone who got straight As all through high school.”

“And how do you know that?” you asked, surprised because you assumed he never gave you a second thought in high school.

“Are you kidding? How could I not?” he looked at you like you were the crazy one in this situation and not the other way around.

“What are you talking about? It’s not like I went around bragging about my grades to the whole school.”

“No,” he said with a smirk. “But anyone who paid any attention to you could tell you were smart and cared a lot about school. But it makes sense, you have a lot of dreams you’re working towards. Need to do well in school to achieve those.”

“You paid attention to me?” You asked in a brief moment of curiosity overriding your nerves. Now it seemed to be his turn to get flustered.

“I mean, like I said, it wasn’t hard for most people to notice.” The conversation died down as the two of you went back working, but your mind could not focus on anything but Eddie. You felt stupid for constantly convincing yourself that he might feel the same way you did. You wished you were better at deciphering other people’s feelings and that you had the confidence to confront him about it. Your hopeless romantic feelings were just going to end up hurting you more in the long run and you needed to stop letting yourself dwell on something that would never happen.

You got better at it by focusing more on school and work than before. That was what you needed to do anyway to accomplish your goals. Silly thoughts of whether a boy liked you or not was just a distraction, especially when that boy was already clearly in love with someone else. You thought you had gotten better at pushing down your feelings for him, but you were proven wrong when it was a little over a year after you had been working together and your work best friend realized what was going on.

“You like Eddie!” She exclaimed as you tried to shush her down so nobody else heard as you were taking inventory at work.

“Ok, yes I like Eddie, but you gotta keep it down ok? I don’t want anyone else to know about it.”

“But why?! You two would be perfect together, everyone else should know about it so the two of you can get together! It’s obvious he likes you too!”

“What? Are you crazy? He doesn’t like me, we’re just friends. Besides, he’s been with his girlfriend from back home for over two years now. It’s not going to happen.”

“I heard they aren’t doing well right now,” she said.

“What?” You froze at the news, not having heard that yet. But it wasn’t like he talked about his relationship to you often. Maybe something had happened and you didn’t know about it. “Where did you hear that?”

“Kim said she overheard him talking to Brandon last week about it. They’re both really busy with work and school and his band, they don’t see each other enough anymore. It’s causing problems in their relationship.” You pondered over this information for a bit, not sure how to take it. You hated how it gave you a glimmer of hope, maybe they’ll break up and something could happen between you two. You shook your head at the thought. Eddie was your friend, how could you hope he gets his heart broken by ending his relationship.

“It doesn’t matter, I’m sure they’ll work it out. Besides, I’m too busy to start a relationship either.”

“Okay, whatever you say,” she gave you a knowing look and you sighed as you felt your heart continue to hope for something to possibly work out in your favor.

Months later, when you were spending time with Eddie, you gave into your curiosity and brought up his relationship. You pretended you didn’t already hear about the problem, and just asked how his girlfriend was doing. He confessed that things were rough as they barely had time to see each other anymore. Seeing him so upset about it broke your heart and made you feel guilty for wanting them to break up. It was obvious that the distance was making it difficult for them.

You swallowed your feelings and tried to give him some advice. He seemed grateful for that, but it sounded like the two of them were just too busy to make each other a priority anymore, and it also even seemed like they didn’t want to make each other a priority anymore either. It made you wonder if maybe they would be better off just breaking up. Not for you to swoop in and date him, but maybe they both would be happier apart. It sounded to you like they were just together out of familiarity at this point. They had been together for years now, it was hard for them to picture themselves not together so they just ignored how unhappy both of them were. You didn’t tell him these thoughts though, not trusting yourself to be seeing it from an unbiased perspective. And so they stayed together and you stayed pining after a guy you probably would never get to be with.

Sooner than you expected, graduation came around and you were preparing to move to Chicago in pursuit of your law degree. You were excited for this next big step, but also very sad to have only one summer left in Indiana with the friends you had there, especially Eddie.

Despite your efforts, your feelings for him had only grown more and more over the two years you two worked together. But logic had to win over feelings. How could it even work out for you two even if you did end up together? You weren’t going to stay behind just to stay with Eddie, and you wouldn’t ask Eddie to go with you to Chicago. If by some act of god, the two of you actually got together over the summertime, you would just be split again by years of law school and it would have ruined your friendship for nothing.

Sometimes you wished you were the type of person to do anything for the chance at love, but you weren’t. You had a plan and dating Eddie didn’t work in that plan, so there was no point in even trying. That’s not how your friend saw it though.

“You’re gonna tell him how you feel right? I mean your chances are running out, you have to at least try!” As much as you wanted to agree with her, you just couldn’t.

“No, I already made up my mind, I’m not gonna do that.”

“But you two are meant for each other!”

“Maybe,” you sighed in exasperation. “But let’s say you’re right. Let’s say he leaves his girlfriend of 3 years for me. Then what?! I leave for law school at the end of July, we’d be living almost 4 hours away from each other, and we’d be having the same issues that he’s having with her right now.” She gives you a sympathetic look and it’s enough to cause the tears to start forming in your eyes. You let the last bit of romantic hope in your heart out as you continued to explain “I have to hope that what we have is special enough to come back to. Maybe one day it’ll be the right time and place for us. But that’s not right now. So I can’t ruin what we have by telling him how I feel, I just can’t.”

And with that, it was over. You left for school, kept in touch with your old friends, but distance was hard on any kind of relationship. Of course you couldn’t help but think “what if” with Eddie, but it didn’t matter anymore. The two of you had grown apart and that was that.

Bonjour!!! Val, how are you?😊 saw your post about speak your language day and I found it very amazing cuz' it's always a great joy to celebrate and embrace our cultures and to know about each other's cultures 💞

So my question is: What is your favorite place to visit in France? Like a place that's very memorable to you.

Have a great day, Val😊!!

❤🧡

Bonsoir Kikarou 😊

Je vais très bien & j'espère que toi aussi ! J'ai eu du mal à choisir, même si je n'ai pas encore visité toutes les régions de France. C'est un beau pays, avec des paysages très variés, une architecture, une cuisine, un climat différents pour chaque région. Mer, montagne, plaine, il y en a pour tous les goûts.

English translation:

Good evening Kikarou 😊

I'm doing great & I hope you are as well I had a hard time choosing, even though I haven't visited all the regions of France yet. It is a beautiful country, with very varied landscapes ; architecture, cuisine, climate are very different in each region. Sea, mountain, plain, everyone can find a place to their liking.

Mon site préféré est Carcassonne, cité médiévale du sud-ouest

Je suis une passionnée d'histoire médiévale & j'adore les vieilles pierres, les ruines, les vestiges laissés par nos ancêtres. C'était à la fois une ville de commerce & une place forte. Le tour des remparts à pied est très long & épuisant mais vaut vraiment la peine, la vue est magnifique sur les plaines & montagnes alentour. Je pars passer trois jours là-bas ce jeudi, j'ai hâte de visiter la Cité de nouveau.

Petite anecdote : Carcassonne + Nördlingen & Burghausen (Allemagne) sont trois lieux réels qui ont inspiré le monde de L' Attaque des Titans !

Deux autres sites que j'aime beaucoup aussi: le Mont-Blanc & Paris, bien sûr!

Merci beaucoup pour ton message !

😊🫶

>•< >•< >•< >•< >•<

English translation:

My favourite site is Carcassonne, a medieval city in the southwest

Medieval history is one of my passions & I love old buildings, ruins, vestiges left by our ancestors. It was both a trading town & a stronghold. Walking the fortifications on top of the walls is very long & exhausting but is definitely worth it, the view is magnificent over the surrounding plains and mountains. I'm going to spend three days there next Thursday, I can't wait to visit the City again.

Fun fact: Carcassonne + Nördlingen & Burghausen (Germany) are three real-life locations that inspired the world of Attack on Titan!

Two other places I like a lot as well: the Mont-Blanc & Paris, of course!

Thank you so much for sending an ask!

😊🫶

Maystre Joyxaulde vaut Orbatillo, the siegecraft virtuoso.

His castles have but one weakness - he might want to besiege them himself, so he can test himself in both aggression and defence at the same time. He's been caught mid-siege on various bizarre activities, including signalling instructions to enemy artillerymen, undermining his own walls and bragging they're still standing, sketching the very trebuchets that've just shot at him and putting out friendly cannons claiming "they won't work anyway".

He makes sure to build a small hut with a porch near each of his structures so he can sip tea while admiring his own work. He also often encourages armies marching nearby to assault his own estate, but always fails to convince them since there's no commander in the world who'd be dumb enough, and even if there was no warrior would follow them.

He finds that magic takes away the joy from being the best at something, and so carries no geasa.

hallo und willkommen to the german-speaking community on the QSMP

as a french person I really would have loved to be there for the arrival of LetsHugo, as our countries share so much history together, and I personally love german (language) and the artistic culture in Germany

the same applies to the Korean community, I know the streamers present since the reopening of the server had a great time (based on what the qsmpblr has been sharing) and I can't wait to catch up on the lives

unfortunately, due to the absence of news regarding the admins' situation I'm going to keep on not supporting the reopening of the server by not watching the new events, till things get fixed and proven to be so (i respect anyone who chooses to follow the lives obviously)

i was confident the situation to be resolved, maybe it was naive, only the future will tell (i'm just desperate rn, plz give us news)

so, for those who discover the qsmp and are hyped by it, welcome to a wonderful experience, know that there have been great lives done in the past that you can catch up on

i still recommend to be cautious and not to involve yourself too much since you have the chance of being new and to have a larger vision, everything is not white on the qsmp

i believe in the project, I sincerely hope things will get better and that we'll be able to enjoy the server all of us together

FR translation ↓

bonjour et bienvenue à la communauté germanophone sur le QSMP!

en tant que français.e, j'aurais adoré assister à l'arrivée de LetsHugo, puisque nos deux pays partagent tant d'histoire ensemble, et parce que j'aime particulièrement la langue et la culture artistique de l'Allemagne

ça vaut aussi pour la communauté coréenne, je sais que les streamers présents sur le serveur depuis sa réouverture ont passé de supers moments (d'après ce que le qsmpblr a partagé) et j'ai trop hâte de rattraper tous les lives

malheureusement, en raison de l'absence de nouvelles concernant la situation des admins, je vais continuer à ne pas supporter la réouverture du serveur en m'abstenant d'assister aux nouveaux évènements jusqu'à ce que les choses soient corrigées avec preuves à l'appui (bien sûr, je respecte toute personne qui choisit de continuer à regarder les lives)

je pensais vraiment que la situation allait se résoudre, c'était peut-être naïf, on verra bien

pour les personnes qui découvrent qsmp et qui ont hâte de plonger dedans, bienvenue dans cette expérience incroyable, sachez que des lives incroyables ont été faits dès les débuts du serveur

je recommande quand même de rester prudent et de ne pas trop s'investir de trop

#i hope i don't sound too pessimistic #qsmp #qsmp german

okay this may be a loaded question but - where does one start with asterix. french or english material, doesn't matter

Not loaded at all! Astérix are all stand-alone, so there's no actual order you have to follow. However, I always recommend one starts with the first 24 albums, in any order that you'd please, then go on to the others up to 39.

The first 24 are written by Goscinny, and while I love all the Astérix eras for different reasons, when people talk about "Astérix" as a phenomenon, they mean Goscinny.

So, where to start?! Again, that's entirely up to you. To give you a guide, I'll sort them into categories that might interest you. (BOLD = FAVOURITE OF MINE!)

Group 1: Astérix and Obélix travel to all sorts of places that aren't Rome, with gags abound relating to every culture. Ever wanted a book that just shits on Germany for 40 pages? Look no further.

Asterix and the Golden Sickle (Paris)

Asterix and the Goths (Germany)

Asterix and the Banquet (France in general)

Asterix and Cleopatra (Egypt

Asterix in Britain (Britain)

Asterix and the Normans (Vikings)

Asterix at the Olympic Games (Greece)

Asterix in Spain (Spain)

Asterix in Switzerland (Switzerland)

Asterix in Corsica (Corsica)

Asterix and the Great Crossing (United States)

Asterix in Belgium (Belgium)

Group 2: The village (mostly just Astérix) deals with problems not solveable with magic potion alone. A great deal of satire about politics, economics, and interpersonal relationships.

Asterix and the Cauldron

Asterix and the Roman Agent

The Mansions of the Gods

Asterix and the Soothsayer

Asterix and Caesar's Gift

Obelix and Co. I cannot recommend this one enough.

Group 3: Astérix and Obélix just make the Romans' lives generally miserable on their own turf because, well, fuck you.

Asterix the Gaul

Asterix the Gladiator

Asterix and the Big Fight

Asterix the Legionary

Asterix and the Chieftain's Shield

Asterix and the Laurel Wreath

Group 4: Mais je veux lire en français ! Sous-estime pas mes compétences !

Okay, but don't say I don't spoil you. This took ages.

Astérix le Gaulois

Astérix et la Serpe D'Or

Astérix et les Goths

Astérix Gladiateur

Le Tour de Gaule d'Astérix

Astérix et Cleopatre (voilà où je suis tombé sur des problèmes. Si ça marche pas, vaut mieux qu'on le cherche sur Google)

Le Combat des Chefs

Astérix chez les Bretons

Astérix et les Normands

Astérix Légionnaire

Astérix aux Jeux Olympiques

Astérix et le Chaudron

Astérix en Hispanie

La Zizanie

Astérix chez les Helvètes

Le Domaine des Dieux

Les Lauriers de César

Le Devin

Astérix en Corse

Astérix et le Cadeau de César

La Grande Traversée

Obélix et Compagnie

Astérix chez les Belges

And if any links don't work or seem strange, all you need to do is Google "[name] PDF"! I have gotten many a virus while trying to read BD, but never from Astérix.

Have a wonderful time reading!

Journal d’un photographe

Le tampon de la poste indiquait : Paris 45, 10h45, 8-3 1977.

Il m’était adressé : Monsieur Alain Keler, Agence Sygma, 5 rue des vignes, Paris 75016.

Une lettre manuscrite :

« Paris le 5 mars 1977

Cher Monsieur

Je vous remercie beaucoup de m’avoir adressé ces belles photographies dont je vous fais compliment. Quand je vois ma tête le soir, en rentrant du Palais, je me rends compte de votre grand talent. Mieux vaut en tout cas pour l’illusion des lecteurs que ce soit votre traduction et non l’original que les lecteurs de Time aient en devant les yeux.

Encore bravo et merci !

Bien à vous,

R. Badinter »

Quelques jours plus tôt, j’avais photographié Robert Badinter chez lui pour le magazine Time.

La lettre est restée soigneusement classée dans mes affaires.

Un grand Monsieur vient de nous quitter. Un Mensch, comme on dit en yiddish.

villains pt. 1 . . . i am a maverick, built to create, designed to destroy, and i am the quiver in your bones when you get annoyed. and i am a nightmare, these monsters i hold, i'm bringing them home. and i am the shiver in your lungs, when you're out in the cold.

choke . . . now shut your dirty mouth, if i could burn this town, i wouldn't hesitate to smile while you suffocate and die. and that would be just fine. and what a lovely time, that it would surely be. so bite your tongue and choke yourself to sleep.

pit of vipers . . . now i must admit that i have played a part in the way that things have gotten out of hand, but it's escalated almost to an art. i want to fix it, but i don't think i can. i'm falling deep into a pit of vipers over me, over me and i can't break free, secrets run deep when you're in a pit of vipers slithering, whispering, feel the venom poisoning me.

achillies come down . . . you crazy assed cosmonaut, remember your virtue, redemption lies plainly in truth. just humor us, achillies, achillies, come down, won't you get up off, get up off the roof? je vois que beaucoup de gens meurent, parce qu'ils estiment que la vie ne vaut pas la peine d'être vécue. j'en vois d'autres, qui se font paradoxalement tués pour des idées, pour des illusions, qui leurs donnent une raison de vivre. ce, qu'on appelle une raison de vivire est en même temps une excellente raison de mourir. (translated from french, originally from albert camus' myth of sisyphus : i see a lot of people dying because they believe that life is not worth living. i see others, who are paradoxically killed for ideas, for illussions, which gives them a reason to live. what we call a reason to live is at the same time an excellent reason to die.)

control . . . i'm well acquainted with villains that live in my head, they beg me to write them so they'll never die when i'm dead. and i've grown familiar with villains that live in my head, they beg me to write them so i'll never die when i'm dead. i'm bigger than my body. i'm colder than this home. i'm meaner than my demons. i'm bigger than these bones. and all the kids cried out ' please stop, you're scaring me ', i can't help this awful energy, goddamn right, you should be scared of me. who is in control?

how villains are made . . . time to put my medal on, whose blood to spill? i don't know whose side i'm on. two armies are coming at me their flags and weapons look the same. one tells the truth, the other's lying and they're both calling my name. time to put my medal on, whose neck to cut? i don't know whose side i'm on. there lies my sanity, there goes my mind, i could not save. i don't trust what i see right in front of me, i don't know who to betray. so easily we're persuaded when the lines are blurred and faded. no one ever starts that way, but this is how villains are made.
