A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC / A GATHERING OF SHADOWS by v. e. schwab sentence meme.
❛ I’d rather die on an adventure than live standing still. ❜
❛ After all, you can kill people, but you cannot kill magic. Not truly. ❜
❛ Impossible. What a useless word, in a world with magic. ❜
❛ Everyone thinks I have a death wish, you know? But I don’t want to die – dying is easy. No, I want to live, but getting close to death is the only way to feel alive. And once you do, it makes you realize that everything you were actually doing before wasn’t actually living. It was just making do. Call me crazy, but I think we do the best living when the stakes are high. ❜
❛ You have two faces. One you wear for the world at large, and the one you wear for those you love. ❜
❛ Everyone’s immortal until they’re not. ❜
❛ It is as it is. It cannot be undone. So please, be grateful, and be done with it. ❜
❛ The thing about freedom? It doesn’t come naturally. Almost no one has it handed to them. I’m free because I fought for it. ❜
❛ I know you can do this. I know you can hear me. Stay with me. Listen to my voice. ❜
❛ Maybe you just got a taste of what it really means to be alive. You almost died. So now you know what it feels like to live. To fear for that life. To fight for it. And once you know, well, there’s no going back. ❜
❛ You made a mistake. Everybody makes them. Even me. I’ve made many. It’s only fair that you made one. ❜
❛ I did only what I had to do. If I could have given my life for yours, I would have. ❜
❛ A kiss for luck. Not that I need it. ❜
❛ I know. I know what and who you are. What will you do? Kill me? ❜
❛ Why am I the only one in this fucking world to be held accountable for my actions? ❜
❛ Aren’t you afraid of dying? ❜
❛ I’m sorry. For whatever happened to you. For whoever hurt you so deeply that you see things like friends and fondness as weapons instead of shields. ❜
❛ You know so little of war. Battles may be fought from the outside in, but wars are won from the inside out. ❜
❛ Between the two of us, we’ll tear the whole world down. ❜
❛ I am going to cut that smile off your face. ❜
❛ It hurts. More than dying ever did. There are days when I feel like I deserve this. ❜
❛ Death doesn’t scare me. Not nearly as much as the idea of wasting a perfectly good life in fear of it. ❜
❛ You’re always so eager to slash and stab, why couldn’t you have stabbed him. ❜
❛ Which is it, huh? You’re angry at me, or worried about me, or happy to see me? Because I can’t keep up. ❜
❛ Wouldn’t it be amazing, if we got away with it? ❜

gabe’s voice is not what it used to be.
there was esophageal and vocal cord damage which was as a result of his manner of death. he can speak, it is simply much more gravelly and raspy now. the presence of ‘reaper’ also causes a haunting reverb in the under current of his tonality.
also? he doesn’t like to talk at length because it genuinely hurts to do so. he does his best to keep what he says frank and to the point.

as a result of the ‘reaper virus’ and being essentially undead... gabe doesn’t really require sleep anymore. it doesn’t do anything for him. he is capable of sleep, he can rest, but it is simply something no longer needed for him.
he will rest / nap with people who are important to him --- only in private settings though --- because it is necessity for them.

plotting call — mutuals only. in revamping and not necessarily starting from scratch entirely, give this a like if you’d like to start plotting or return to previous ideas [if we both remember them] we may’ve already begun discussing.

moira very much lied and omitted things when she began experimenting on gabe around the blackwatch era.
she told him that her experimentations would help him manage his chronic pain and other issues that were resultant of SEP... when really she was testing her ‘reaper virus’ on him. it was a prototype of things --- and she essentially used him as a practice subject for it. as time went on she added more and more to the formula for conditioning him, which was increased even further after the virus had initially brought him back from death / his early time in talon.
as a result, his current and now long-term refusal of medical treatment [in becoming more and more his old self] is more detrimental to him than he anticipated. his chronic pain is more than back... along with the old issues from SEP and something that feels / acts very much like withdrawal.
