apologies … sentence starters

“I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“I’ll try to do better, I swear.”

“You deserve better than this.”

“I’m sorry you went through that.”

“I’m sorry you have to deal with me.”

“I was wrong. I should have listened.”

“I know I messed up. And I said I was sorry.”

“Was I… was I the reason you were crying?”

“I just lost control. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”

“You shouldn’t have had to deal with that, I’m sorry.”

“I shouldn’t have done that. Can you ever forgive me?”

“They’ll never apologize, so I’ll do it for them. I’m sorry.”

“I’ve never stopped and listened to you, and I’m sorry for that.”

“Oh my god, am I… am I the one who made you cry? I’m sorry.”

“I’m not going to ask for your forgiveness, because I don’t deserve it.”

“I didn’t mean to hurt you, but that’s not the point. I still did. And I’m sorry.”

"casual" as an insult is really funny tbh. hey everybody this guy plays games for fun. they like to relax and have a good time

PROMPTS FROM THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE *  assorted dialogue from the 2013 film, adjust as necessary

if you die, and i live, i'd have nothing. nobody else that i care about.

it's different for you. your family needs you.

you have to live. for them.

nobody needs me.

i do. i need you.

how does that sound?

what if we set your backyard on fire?

he can't hurt me. there's no one left that i love.

remember who the real enemy is.

we got married... in secret.

we want our love to be eternal.

we've been luckier than most.

i just wanted to say that i didn't know [name]. i only spoke to him once.

he could have killed me, but instead he showed me mercy.

that's a debt i'll never be able to repay.

she wasn't just my ally. she was my friend.

i couldn't save her. i'm sorry.

you guys look amazing.

so what do you think, now that the whole world wants to sleep with you?

i wasn't talking to you.

will you unzip?

thanks. let's do it again sometime.

the way the whole "friend" thing works is you have to tell each other the deep stuff.

what's your favorite color?

now you've stepped over the line.

see, this is why no one lets you make the plans.

you have been our mission from the beginning.

the plan was always to get you out.

people are looking to you, [name].

you've given them an opportunity. they just have to be brave enough to take it.

we have seen a lot of tears here tonight.

you are angry. tell me why.

i'm getting totally screwed over here.

now you wanna kill me again.

nobody decent ever wins the games.

nobody ever wins the games. period. there are survivors. there's no winners.

love is weird.

i would love to borrow that outfit someday.

you look pretty terrifying in that get-up.

i outgrew them.

any secrets worth my time?

unfortunately, i think that's true.

i'm sorry you had to cancel your wedding.

i'm really not in the mood for a lecture.

you don't have to apologize to anybody, including me.

i hardly know anything about you except that you're stubborn and good with a bow.

there's more than that. you just don't want to tell me.

make him pay for it.

any last advice?

stay alive.

she's committed, i'll give her that.

you saved my life. you gave me a chance.

fear does not work as long as there is hope.

you were dead. your heart stopped.

how rude of them.

eyes bright, chins up, smiles on.

we're a team, aren't we?

i am truly sorry.

you both deserved so much better.

i don't want to be with anyone else in there. just you.

that's what i want.

no waving and smiling this time.

i want you to look straight ahead as if the audience and this whole event are beneath you.

that should be easy.

be careful. it's a force field up there.

i think these games are gonna be different.

i guess we're not holding hands anymore.

i don't care about any of them.

i'm here to drink.

you know and i know there's only one person walking out of here, and it's gonna be one of us.

i get to say goodbye.

they will kill us.

whatever game you think you're playing, those out there are not playing it with you.

i don't want you to get hurt.

so how do you like the party?

you could live a hundred lifetimes and never deserve that boy.

you don't want to shoot her.

how about i shoot both of you?

get them out of here.

“Very well, as long as you’re aware.  I would advise that you attempt to live a little before then, but it’s not my business.”

[friendscfmine]

//stan is not really made uncomfortable by hospitals (perhaps bc he's been lucky enough to remain in... fairly good health - very lucky when you consider the excessive underage drinking) so! he's a good one to have come visit you, generally. he doesn't get squirmy or look like he wants to be somewhere else, and he'll happily bring you cards and sit at your bedside to talk to you or play you music or something.

this is not to say that stan is perfect or like... the pinnacle of disability allyship, and his lack of personal experience with it sometimes leads him to say something callous, stupid, and incorrect. but he will show up for you, if nothing else, and if you get sick of hearing him say things, just tell him to shut the hell up. if he likes you, it'll work more often than it doesn't.

[friendscfmine]

Stan should have been watching his alcohol consumption more than he was currently.  He was the worst back in high school, barely functional, with a plastic water bottle full of vodka in his locker that he’d sip between classes.  It was kind of a miracle that he had graduated at all.  And it was easy for him to fall back into the rhythm of having a drink once a week, then every other day, then every day, then multiple—  There had been a few times when he felt himself starting to slip again and had to force himself to do anything other than make cocktails.

Having Kyle here helped with that.  It made him feel like he was being judged a little and encouraged him to stop at the one.

He laughed softly.  “If you like that because it’s sweet, there are a bunch I could make you that are a lot better and sweeter.  They make beer cocktails, too, but there’s nothing wrong with keeping things simple… boring.”

It was not surprising to hear that Gerald hadn’t improved any.  Old dogs, new tricks—he was probably past the point of being capable of learning.  The generation before them only seemed to learn lessons about the dumbest shit and have arbitrary ‘epiphanies’ about things that didn’t matter.

“Yeah, makes sense,” Stan said, rolling his eyes.  “My dad’s not much better, either.  I think their rotted brains are beyond the point of no return—and then they wonder why we don’t talk to them anymore.”  He had moved back to South Park, in a trailer behind Ned and Jimbo’s the first chance he got.  Thankfully, he had those two family members he still respected, or he would have been totally fucked.

He furrowed his brow, thinking, trying to think what had happened to Kenny.  Something Kyle said sounded halfway correct, yet it didn’t.  There was an uncanniness about it, something just off enough to make it unbelievable.  “You know, I don’t… really remember if anything like that happened to Kenny.  It kind of sounds right, but… I think I’d remember that more clearly if it happened.”

It was one of the things he didn't exactly want to turn into a hobby. He had seen what alcoholism could do to a person, and kept his drinks to casual moments. Like parties and to simply have a good time. It was something he kept an eye on, among other things. He wasn't exactly the type to go out and party (and the cheesing event was truly a traumatizing moment in their lives). Though, with the glass in hand with what was left from the drink, he shook his head. "Nah, I'm just taking my time with it. I like it, I just don't have ... a wide taste range. I'm picky. Can't exactly avoid all that, heh."

Though, the cup was taken. Which he didn't mind, it was mostly him trying to force himself to try a cocktail. That, and ... yeah, he was right about cocktails. Who likes them? A specific target group, apparently! "I guess I could take your word for it. I don't know ... I'd enjoy tap beer more than this. But I will say it's got some sweetness to it. So, in a way, I like it."

Reminiscing for a moment from that time, he ... shuddered at the memories. He was beginning to recall the attempt to housing all known house cats in South Park to counter-act the cheesing trend. It grossed him out to a degree knowing his father was the hardest addict of them all.

Gently, he shook his head, " ... not really any better. I think the whole cheesing thing actually changed something chemically in his brain. Can't blame him though. When you got Cartman re-enacting the story of Anne Frank in his attic with all the cats, it's like herding the worst addicts to get a sniff of it.

" ... I kind of feel bad for Kenny, though. Didn't he overdose on that at some point? Or have like ... a heart attack?"

[friendscfmine]

Peter’s mouth hangs open in shock when Ava compares him to a dictator, and then his expression turns back to being irate.  “Hey!  You should never invoke imagery of dictators when you don’t like someone,” he says.  “Dictatorships have caused a lot of hurt for real-world minorities and should never be joked about.”  He realizes Ava isn’t really joking, which is perhaps even worse.  To be compared to the likes of Hitler and Stalin when he would never do anything to harm a minority is unthinkable, and that she is immediately jumping to the comparison just makes him respect her argument even less.

He cannot deny that she is an alien, though—extraterrestrial, he realizes is probably the less offensive term, considering the connotations behind ‘alien,’ especially here in America.  But after witnessing her skin shift and glow, he has to accept that she is—shall he say—not of this world.  “Oh… well… then, I apologize for assuming your planetary status.  I just try to make sure no one is undermining the existence of trans people because they have it hard enough, especially lately.”  Being that she is an al—extraterrestrial, maybe she doesn’t know about that yet, but she should learn if she plans to spend any amount of time here.  It is important to consider other people’s sensibilities and not lean on ignorance as an excuse.

“You’ve got to understand, though, that regardless of where you’re from, I’m trying to help these kids.  It’s never too early to start them learning how to treat people.  I just want everyone to have a safe space, and that means people have to make sacrifices, retire certain jokes and games that can cause real harm to someone.”  He has seen how rampant bullying is in South Park Elementary, and he knows how dire the consequences of that can be.  Apparently, before he arrived, there was a kid who killed himself because of the shit the others were saying about him, and Peter wants to make sure that doesn’t happen to anyone else.

“I’d be willing to work with you as well, you know.  If you tell me more about your… um… culture… as an extraterrestrial being, I could help educate the others about what may be offensive to you.”

There is absolutely no doubt in Ava's mind that the second either Peter or some of the residents leave South Park, that everything he has worked to achieve would come crashing down around him. The kids especially seemed to be very set in their ways, and she thinks that most of them dislike Peter because of how antithetical he acts to the things he preaches.

If he had let slip that Cartman was only being kept in line with threats, or that Jimmy has continued on his path like nothing has happened, then it would have only further acted as proof. Ava already hates that he has continued to use the notion that he is the authority on what is and isn't okay to say, which to anyone worth their salt that would have been red flag number one. The entire point of tolerance was that no one was an authority on it.

"The hell do you mean deal with them?" She had been tempted to bust out her magic, to even further cement the fact that she is very, very clearly not from the planet, but the kids have once again become her main priority. "Do you even hear the words you're saying? You sound, well, you sound like a fuckin' dictator."

How Peter continues to veer further and further into dangerous territory while remaining seemingly oblivious to it is beyond her. Ava sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose. "And I think that you should, perhaps, listen to someone who does have a little more galactic experience than you do. This shit never ends well..."

Ava thinks that, perhaps, she should prove her point a little more. She has become emotional enough that the lava-like mottling of her skin is beginning to move. and not just remain in place. A hand is waved in front of Peter's face, bright enough to be annoying at this point and borderline hard to look at. "I'm a real ass alien. I'd offer to grab my hand, but I would actually probably give you a third-degree burn if I did. I mean, you're more than welcome to if you don't believe me. I get that some of the kids here are just playing, but what's the harm in that? They're kids!"

“ is that so ? interesting . ” that specific little fact is quickly filed away in wednesday's mind . this one seems timid , though ― this may be something she'd recall when he's in need of aid , rather than a piece of information to be used against him . so she allows herself some reprieve , shifting her posture to appear just the slightest bit more relaxed . “ come in . ”

when she steps aside , behind her is a stairway , leading down into a room that's fashioned a lot like the morgue above it , with stainless steel compartments lining one wall ; a metal door is built into the wall opposite . the rest of the room , however , has been transformed into what looks like a consultation office , but . . . much , much darker . dare one say , goth .
