Dru took a deep breath. “Okay,” she said. “Just us now. Just Blackthorns.” Everyone went still.
The Blackthorn family by @cassandraclare
I look at you and I wonder about myself. Would I knowingly give up my life for something?
You have to have a reason. Something you care about. Something that’s more important than anything.
If this world is real, although I will not insist that it is,
Then there should be a world where every character we pen is brought to life,
And yet another, wherein
We are only figments of their imagination.
A world where they see all the self-loathing and all the scars,
And they love it even when we cannot.
Another one wherein
They see our blind rage and our lashing out,
Where they are not blind to our faults,
And see they the scars we've inflicted on others in a mad, pained rampage
Where they see that our pain is no excuse, for the pain we cause others
Where they see us for the villains we've become
I do not know if this world is real, and I won't insist it to be so,
Therefore,
I do not know if the others can exist
But this thought alone, and memories of these lines,
That is enough for me to rein in my anger,
To love,
To let them fall in love with me.

Thanks for adding me @my-ambivert-self !
1. I'm left handed.
2. I had written two small books of short stories when I was 9, which I threw away at 11 because at that time I thought it was more cringey than cute.
3. Christmas is my absolute favorite thing in the world, and coincidentally (I swear it's a coincidence) my favorite colors are green and red.
Thanks for the tag, @pluttskutt!
Rules: 3 random facts about yourself, then tag 7 people.
1. My favorite color is red, but I prefer to decorate with red.
2. My favorite movie series is Star Wars.
3. I’m currently trying to step out of the ML fandom. (Kinda difficult when my popular fics over at @starrosefics is Miraculous Ladybug.)
I’ll tag, with no pressure, @techieninja18, @theballetslippertheblackhoodie, @atomic-insomnia, @the-writing-fandom, @yeetus1feetus, @just-a-little-bit-of-sugar, and @cream-and-tea.
My favourite tracks from the Merlin Soundtrack
It is foolish to assume man has only one personality, and the sooner one realizes this, the better.

PARADOX
It is as right and as wrong as hurting someone who hurt you.
It is as beautiful and as hideous as a face created to hide your own.
It is as simple and as complex as admitting you were wrong.
That maybe you don't need to hold it in.
That maybe you can tell someone.
That maybe pain is something people do understand the way they understand hunger, thirst and desperation.
That what people don't understand is that other people understand pain, too.

(Hi, I'm Indian, so I'm trilingual. I've added two soundtracks to go with the piece. One is in Hindi, and I love this song. The other is English, since I'm guessing most of the people on tumblr speak English.)
((I love both the tracks.))
