hello, my loves. i come bearing bad news.

after an incident involving a spider, a glass of water, my laptop, and me being a jumpy little shit, my laptop is now completely fucked. it does boot, but the keyboard has gone haywire, remaps the keys every time i boot it, and then quits about two minutes into using it. as you can imagine, not very conductive to roleplaying.

i have no idea when i’ll get a new one. technically, i can afford one right now, but it’ll be pulling money from my australia fund, and considering i’m headed there in two weeks, i’m hesitant to do so.

it also means i’ll have lost all my photoshop things, but that’s not too bad, considering most of the sources are saved to my da account - but my screencaps, my psds and borders for icons, my theme backgrounds and such - all gone. so even if i do get a new laptop, it’ll take a bit of time to get all of my stuff back, which adds time to me being away.

so, as of right now, i’m calling another hiatus, which - i hate doing this, but there’s nothing else i can do. my giveaway winners, your prizes will still be yours! you’ll just… have to bear with me a while, i’m so sorry. i’ll be back once i get a new laptop, though that may not be until the end of the month, or even until october, at the latest. i hope you all have great days in the meantime, and again, to my winners, i’m so sorry for this. i’ll see you when i see you, my loves.

I look young But inside I am old And filled with the deaths Of other people.

Terry Moore (via alittlecurse)

[hyliangrace-blog]

                             ❛  But  don’t  you  remember ?  we’ve  met  before .                                            you’ve  said  so  yourself  —–  once upon a dream .

[hyliangrace-blog]

            ❛ whatever happened to her – the fairy ? ❜

            if there was an onlooker, they might have pitied zelda’s young companion – questions about him, who he was, how he lived, had gone unasked in the face of potential tyranny, focus instead placed on how to expose the gerudo king for the monster he was ( the blindness of her father! to that day, zelda marveled at it. ) – but ganondorf was imprisoned, his treasonous desires revealed. link was a hero, to no-one moreso than her, & free to come & go as he pleased within the castle. with this, zelda was delighted – every opportunity to spend time with link was seized, not in the least because of how devoid her life had been of companionship before he had arrived. oh, impa was always there, of course, but regardless of their closeness, impa was still her guardian. there was no-one else at the hylian court even remotely close to her in age. to spend time with someone like her, in all respects, was… well, for lack of a better word, bliss.

            link may not have felt the same way – zelda hadn’t noticed. she was too busy bombarding him with questions, her curiosity about his life in the forest utterly insatiable. the topic of his friends had been thoroughly exhausted, it had seemed, until the young girl’s memory had sparked. how could she have forgotten?

            for much of their conversation, the princess had been lying down, comfortable upon the grass in the courtyard ( their courtyard, she had begun to call it, though she wouldn’t realize unless it was pointed out to her ) – at the thought of the once-mentioned fairy, she had quickly sat upright, legs crossed, eyes bright & questioning. hadn’t link told her of his companion, from forest, to field, to castle?

            ❛ did she go back home? ❜ her tone became shy, head bowing, but the princess was only playing coy, excitement building within the pit of her stomach – the very idea of seeing a fairy! ❛ i was hoping you could introduce me to her, if she agreed. ❜

She knew herself, how she had slowly over, over the years, become a cat, a wolf, a snake, anything but a girl. How she had wrung out her girlhood like death.

Catherynne M. Valente, from Deathless

[hyliangrace-blog]

deathless ♚ sentence meme

You will always fall in love, and it will always be like having your throat cut, just that fast.

You are going to break your promise. I understand.

You’re lonely too.

It will stop your breath, how cruel I can be.

I am a demanding creature. I am selfish and cruel and extremely unreasonable.

I am your servant.

I crawl at your feet; for before your love, your kisses, I am debased.

For you alone I will be weak.

I belong here, and you will not deny me.

I say these things, and the world listens.

I do not tolerate a world emptied of you. I have tried.

In the dark, I have pored over the loss of you like pale gold.

I will not let her speak because I love her, and when you love someone, you do not make them tell war stories.

I moved the earth and the water for you.

You will always run away with her.

You will always lose her.

You will always be a fool.

You will always be dead, in a city of ice, snow falling into your ear.

You have already done all of this and will do it again.

No one should be judged for loving more than they ought, only for loving not enough.

We look terrible to you, and severe, and you see our blood flying.

What we carry between us is hard-won, and we made it just as we wished it to be, just the color, just the shape.

There need never be any rules between us.

Let us be greedy together; let us hoard.

Do not leave me, swear that you will never leave me.

I am selfish. I am cruel. My mate cannot be less than I.

Sleep with fists closed and shoot straight.

I can’t abide a poor liar.

You look like a winter’s night. I could sleep inside the cold of you.

Oh, quit that. Blushing is for virgins and Christians.

Scold me; deny me. Tell me you want what you want and damn me forever. But don’t leave me.

Bad luck relies on absolutely perfect timing.

In his own country, Death can be kind.

What is the world but a boxing ring where fools and devils put up their fists?

Men die. It’s practically what they’re for.

I am no one; I am nothing.

Nothing in me was not made by you.

A revelation is always the end of something. It might even be cause for grief.

Just tell yourself a story that’ll satisfy you and pretend he told it.

Forever isn’t bright; it isn’t like that. Forever is cold and hard and final.

I savor bitterness - it is born of experience. It is the privilege of one who has truly lived.

If you want to kill yourself, do not use us as your knife.

What did I do wrong? Was I boring? Did I ignore you?

Don’t you dare speak to me like that.

I have worn nothing but blood and death for years.

I have fought all your battles for you, just as you asked me.

I have learned not to cry when I strangle a man.

I have learned to watch everything die.

I am not a little girl anymore, dazzled by your magic. It is my magic, now, too.

Are we not devils?

No one is now what they were before the war.

I have not seen you without your skin on.

Close up your head; your brain is getting loose.

We obsess. It’s in our nature.

I’ve a devil of a habit for being right.

In war you must always choose sides.

If you try to be a bridge laid down between them, they will tear you in half.

We are all dead. All equal. Broken and aimless and believing we are alive.

My old bones will follow yours soon enough.

It is better to be strong and cruel than to be fair.

I will see him with his skin off before I agree to fall in love.

After love, no one is what they were before.

I have survived, but I have not been spared.

In the space of one heartbeat to another I loved you and I was lost to you.

Frighten me, make me cry, only come back.

It’s not so bad, my darling. Being dead. It’s like being alive, only colder.

You’ll think it’s love, while he dines on your heart.

You will be so beautiful when you are old.

I cannot keep you and I cannot let you go.

You will live as you live in any world…with difficulty, and grief.

I look at you and it is like my throat being cut.

She said you’d come and I swore to eat your heart.

I still want to kiss you.

My heart is being cut in two. I cannot bear it.

What happens to anything beautiful?

I have to know, I have to or else you will just rule me until the end of everything because you know and I do not.

❛ what is a legacy? it’s planting seeds in a garden you will never see. ❜

hamilton | accepting !

            how can she respond to that ?though her lips curl upwards into the smallest of smiles, her eyes are dark& filled with sadness, regret, guilt. she knows that so much has been askedof him these last seven years ( that she has asked so much of him ) & thatcompared to what he has seen, the beasts he has slain, truly, this is nothing –this, she thought, would be a kindness. now, she is not so sure. he will haveanother legacy, she knows, returning to his own time, shaping a hyruleunspoiled by tyranny, by war, but it will not be the same; he will not be thesame. the hero of time will fade from memory eventually, from man, to myth, tolegend, but the process might not be so quick if he were to stay with them, tohelp her people once again.

            the road ahead, she knows, willbe long & arduous. there is so much to do, in terms of rebuilding. the lastfollowers of ganondorf, those monstrous stragglers, will need to be slain;peace must be brokered between all people of the land, gerudo included; &then, of course, there is the castle & town, reduced to naught but rubble,calling out to be restored. if link were by her side, as she faced down thesetasks… the temptation is almost overwhelming.

            for a brief moment, she wishesshe were fool enough to let him stay.

            ❛ not always, ❜ she respondssoftly, turning the ocarina over in her hands. ❛ some legacies, we see unfoldbefore our eyes. people will remember how you restored peace to us here, but inyour own time, they will love you for saving them from all of this horror. ❜ she will not voice her own regret, that she could not be the one to save himfrom such tribulations, but as she raises her eyes to look at him, she thinks (she imagines ) that he knows.

            ❛ but i will be here, tocultivate that garden. ❜ another smile, somehow sadder than the last – the timeof their parting is drawing near. ❛ no-one will ever forget you, link. i swearby the goddesses, i will make sure of that. ❜
