✱˚。⋆ ↪ 𝐔𝐍𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋 𝐔𝐍𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐇 . ( a collection of lyric - based prompts based on hozier's album . adjust phrasing as necessary . )
i'm holding my world together with a bootstring .
i would do it again if i could hold you for a minute .
my life was a storm since i was born , how could i fear any hurricane ?
heaven is not fit to house a love like you and i .
i miss when we did not need much .
we didn't get it right , but we did our best .
when people say that something is forever , either way it ends .
i have never known a silence like the one fallen here .
there's money to be made , whatever is still to come .
i don't want to be anything like this at all .
there are some things that nobody teaches you .
we can celebrate the good that we've done .
if there was anyone to get through this life with their heart in tact , they didn't do it right .
all i needed was someone .
you only feel it when it's lost .
the awful things we do to make our heads feel quiet .
you may never know your fortune .
so far from home to have a stranger call you 'darling' .
i'm a butchered tongue still singing here above the ground .
if i was a riptide , i wouldn't take you out .
knowing that everything ends won't change our plan .
i feel lighter than i have in so much time .
i don't know how the feeling ended .
i know we want this to go easy by being somebody's fault .
how could i fall when i am lifted by every word you say to me ?
if i said that this was drowning , you'd tell me i'm walking on water .
who wants to live forever , babe ?
old and young are welcome to the meal .
how can something be so much heavier but so much less than what it seems ?
we had nowhere to go and every desire to go there .
if i fall , i only pray , don't fall away from me .
all our weight is just a burden offered to us by the world .
getting through still has a cost .
so much of our life is just carving through the dark .
after this i'm never gonna be the same .
some part of me must have died the first time you called me 'baby' .
are there limits to emptiness ?
i wish i was the sunlight , just sitting on the mississippi .
if you need to , darling , lean your weight onto me .
you can't buy this fineness .
some part of me must have come alive the first time you called me 'baby' .
the future's so bright it's burning .
i would do anything just to run away .
i heard once , it's the comforts that make us feel numb .
darkness always finds you , either way .
i know being reckless and young isn't how the damage gets done .
i haven't felt it since then .
i do not have wings , love , and i never will .
one time we would want for nothing , we knew what our love was worth .
i think i'll take my whiskey neat .
i'd still be surprised i could find you , in any life .
i don't need to know where we begin and end .
my name always hits my ears as such an awful sound .
i'm taking no orders , i'm gonna be nobody's soldier .
living the dream , benzos and gasoline .
i wish i could go along , don't get me wrong .
do you think i'd give up ?
i'm infinitely suffering , but fighting it off like all creation .
if you're drunk on life , babe , that's great .
what good would it be on the far side of things ?
i aim low , i aim true and to the ground is where i go .
i wouldn't sell the world , i would hold on for all its worth .
choose between being a butcher and a pauper .
i feel as useful as dirt .
it's the sound of it that brings me here .
when was the last time ?
i want to fade away with you .
whatever keeps you around , it keeps you around .
funny how true colors shine in darkness and secrecy .
when i was younger , i used to guess if there were limits to emptiness .
you know i'm good on my own .
one bright morning changes all things .
i'm sick to my skin , watching the news again .
how could you think i'd scare so easily ?
now that it's done , there's not one thing i would change .
would all things god allows remain above ground ?
i'd walk so far just to take the injury of finally knowing you .
you treat your mouth like it's heaven's gate .
could this be how every day begins ?
i can scarce believe what i'm believing in .
whatever you choose , you lose in the long run .
your reflection can't offer a word to the bliss of not knowing yourself .
the goal i was aiming for was the wrong one .
you're too sweet for me .
your heart , love , has such darkness .
let the sun only shine on me through a falling sky .
i don't wanna choose between being a salesman and a soldier .
how do you sleep so well ?
i wouldn't sell the world for all the gold and sterling .
the street is for the laughter of young women and men .
you can keep a dream in your mind only to find out it's the hope that's killing you .
each time i'm shocked by the light .
july is still coming , just knowing that gets me through .
maybe i have yet to venture out and see the places i dream about .
no closer could i be to god .
what you live in , it finds a way to live in you .
i want to be so far away from sight and mind .
you know the distance made no difference to me .
i thought you were like an angel to me .
i'd move so fast that i'd outpace the dawn .
all my love and terror balanced there between those two eyes .
i'm still glad i met you .
that moment i knew , i had no choice but to love you .
@futureforged asked:
❛ read . silently read a book alongside my muse . ( consider… him helping her with repairs or them looking over new upgrades / designs! )
She doesn't really remember everything that happened but, needless to say when she goes to Zaun it usually goes REALLY REALLY good or things take a fast left turn. Her guitar completely split, so many small pieces missing. It had to be redone. It was nice though to have an excuse to pick his brain more, to learn more about Hextech and her own equipment .
To be honest, if music hadn't been her passion she surely would have taken up something like what Jayce had. And if she was being really really honest, she liked learning from him. Her father, he knew a lot but the smaller things, the ones to actually help, Jayce was the only one she knew that could not only explain it but show her and be just as excited about it!
❝Ok, I think design wise this looks AMAZING, capital AMAZING, but I am still lost on how this works better then before?❞
A gentle placement of her book on the table as she moved her chair to look over at his notebook instead. A fascinating design, with a lot of different notes that she couldn't make out completely but it looked decently set up. Plus it kept the heart of what she had been taking from her song battles in Zaun, which was something she really appreciated.
❝Oh and uhm-- sorry, about breaking this again, and worse this time. Who knew how intense these music competitions could be some people really are a little wild. But if you could hear what I can--- their hearts, their souls you would understand! It's like nothing else!❞

❛ you look really pretty right now. ❜
❛ stop changing the subject. ❜
❛ every day i fight, i fight for all of us. ❜
❛ what are you doing? what is wrong? ❜
❛ if i have to think about one more thing today, my head will explode. ❜
❛ you may be in grave danger. there is no time to explain.❜
❛ we can make our own way. please, come with me. ❜
❛ don't even talk to me about this because i won't remember.❜
❛ i am not your husband. at least not the one you know. i am another version of him from another life path, another universe. ❜
❛ i’m here because we need your help.❜
❛ sorry, very busy today. no time to help you– ❜
❛ all those years of searching have brought me here. to this universe. to you. ❜
❛ i’m here to tell you every rejection, every disappointment has led you here. to this moment. ❜
❛ i'm not ready to fight yet. ❜
❛ maybe we don't have a choice. ❜
❛ now, you can either come with me and live up to your ultimate potential, or lie here and live with the consequences. ❜
❛ i... want to lie here. ❜
❛ how often do people literally die laughing? ❜
❛ my husband won't even kill a spider. how are you the same person? ❜
❛ we are talking about infinity. if you can imagine it, somewhere out there, it exists. ❜
❛ how did i die? ❜
❛ i've seen you die a thousand ways. in a thousand worlds. in every single one, you were murdered. ❜
❛ what!? who wants me dead? ❜
❛ you’ve been feeling it too, haven’t you? something is off. your clothes never wear as well the next day, your hair never falls in quite the same way, even your coffee tastes... wrong. ❜
❛ maybe we would have been better off if we had never gotten married. ❜
❛ i never said that. ❜
❛ you didn’t have to. it’s the way you look at me. ❜
❛ can’t you see it? how wonderful it would be if you came with me? ❜
❛ i saw my life without you. i wish you could have seen it. it was beautiful. ❜
❛ shhh, you're not thinking straight. ❜
❛ what is worse than death? ❜
❛ i saw your face on a billboard and — this is silly — i wondered if you remembered me... ❜
❛ is it that i can’t be here, or that i’m not allowed to be here? ❜
❛ there is no good, there is no evil. there is only “goovil”. ❜
❛ if you can imagine it, you have fucked it. ❜
❛ do not be so closed minded that you blind yourself from the truth! ❜
❛ don’t make me fight you. i am really really good. ❜
❛ you're capable of anything because you're so bad at everything. ❜
❛ you can't remember anything because your bodies were under the control of other universes. ❜
❛ you were like puppets. and you could do things you normally can't do. you were like, what's that movie... raccaccoonie? ❜
❛ how can you defeat her in every universe, if you can't even kill her in one? ❜
❛ the sacrifices necessary to win this war... i know all too well. ❜
❛ i cannot lose another loved one to the darkness. ❜
❛ i know you have feelings. feelings that make you so sad. that make you just want to give up. that is not your fault. ❜
❛ i'll see you again soon, somewhere out there in all that noise. ❜
❛ just think happy thoughts. ❜
❛ you okay? caught you staring off into space again. ❜
❛ i'm the one you've been looking for. ❜
❛ i’m the one who will defeat you. ❜
❛ you’re finally free, like me. ❜
❛ you don't have to choose anymore. between loving me or hating me. you can do both at the same time. ❜
❛ before, you were asking about "our daughter". it's crazy, but it really got me thinking. what if you had come with me all of those years ago? ❜
❛ all of this time, i wasn't looking for someone who could defeat me. i was looking for someone who could see what i see, feel what i feel... ❜
❛ oh, good, you're here too. ❜
❛ i'm sorry about ruining everything, i– ❜
❛ we're all stupid. small stupid little humans. it's like our whole deal. ❜
❛ everything is going to be okay. ❜
❛ you think i’m weak don’t you? ❜
❛ when we first fell in love all of those years ago, your father would say i was too sweet for my own good. maybe he was right. ❜
❛ please! can we just stop fighting! ❜
❛ you tell me that it's a cruel world and we're all just running around in circles. i know that. i've been on this earth just as many days as you. ❜
❛ the only thing i do know is we have to be kind. be kind. especially, when we don't know what's going on. ❜
❛ i know you go through life with your fists held tight. you see yourself as a fighter. well, i see myself as one too. this is how i fight. ❜
❛ in another life, i would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you. ❜
❛ you know what i say? cold, hysterical, unlovable bitches like us make the world go round. ❜
❛ you aren’t unlovable. there is always something to love. ❜
❛ even in a stupid, stupid universe where we have hot dogs for fingers, we’d all be very good with our feet! ❜
❛ in a universe where we both agree that no one could love you, if we look hard enough, something will prove us wrong. ❜
❛ we are all useless alone. so its good you're not alone. ❜
❛ maybe you win in this universe. but in another, i beat you. or we tie. or we eat crepes. ❜
❛ i don't want to hurt anymore. and for some reason when i'm with you, it hurts both of us. ❜
❛ out of all of the places i could be, why would i want to be here with you? ❜
❛ i still want to be here with you. i will always want to be here with you. ❜
❛ i will cherish these few specks of time. ❜
okok first works been a lot and I’ve been on @jinxcursed but also after chatting more with one of my dearest friends to get more suggestions from her I’m gonna dual fc for sera im gonna use Yuqi for her main fc but I know a lot of people aren’t chillin with idols as a fc and I’ll use Jesse as an alt for anyone who is uncomfortable with Yuqi! But my friend showed me not only her music but just her and she’s literal perfection and so so cute!
and i'm sinking into the feeling that we could be so much more, i'm not who i was before. could it be magic? YUQI — Could It Be (2024)
updates to fc info we are using Jessie Mei Li now for Sera, while I did not see anything relating her to having any sort of Ionian connection an anon did shoot me an ask mentioning that and that riot had made a post about her being inspired Chinese culture and my use of ms sabrina was white washing, which I NEVER wanna do so hence the update with more research and picking someone more appropriate for it. more abt this under the cut! and i am truly sorry for the fact my ignorance hurt people and i did not do my due diligence in researching more before making that choice. I am gonna do a lot better going forward with these things!
i did find a reddit comment that mentioned this from someone who works for Riot so I wanted to take that into consideration so the update has been done. I have no idea if this is connected to her whole character of just her KDA roots but regardless I never want to partake in white washing anyone or anything period, it is really not ok and something I did not realize I had done and am so sorry if it hurt anyone or people were afraid to tell me previously. white washing is really harmful to poc communities and in the rpc it is really important to be mindful of these things when making a character or picking a fc because these communities are already incredibly marginalized in the rpc and ignoring it is taking part in it which I also do not want to do because it is incredibly disrespectful and incredibly harmful and as a white passing person i need to be held to a higher standard as well.
the things i already replied to things I will update icons on, and such but also, please never be afraid to bring things up to me. I dont read the game lore because it is really hard for me to follow since its not in like a book or a movie or a show and connecting it all through wiki pages is really hard for me so please know if i get something wrong I am always
also i like to imagine the competitions she goes to in Zaun and where they musically duke it out is very much like the band battles in scott pilgrim and it makes me giggle.

fervently. You crave a hug that cracks your ribs... the feeling of your wandering soul being crushed back into the bones that can't seem to hold it. You need a hand gripping yours so tightly you almost fear it may leave a bruise, a reminder that you are here & that you are not alone.

OK LISTEN!!!! When I say that Jayce is her favorite person I mean it because he gets her on the level of not only her mission and goals, but her adoration for building things and also someone who supports not only what she does in Piltover but what she does in Zaun! Absolutely her big brother, her mentor too she might not admit that latter part though until way way wayyyyyy later! I also think to a degree he understands her struggles with the weight of the world on her shoulders that no one else does so genuinely she feels understood and like she genuinely has a friendship built out of true trust and understanding. I know there is a similar relationship between him and Caitlyn but foundationally especially if we run with the idea he helped her and her dad fix and adjust her hearing aids, the profound impact from that alone means sorry hes automatically adopted into her family meaning lots of home made gifts, food and treats CONSTANTLY, holiday invites, the general check-in's whenever things are really difficult. Like, that is HER BROTHER, and everyone is aware she makes sure.
