various things spoken in an adventuring party

a little assortment of quotes and sayings i've found doom scrolling through pinterest that i think an adventuring party would say during their never ending perilous adventures . please do not copy/repost or add to this list, thank you!

Affectionate ‘ thank you for loving me when i still tasted of heartache and war ’ ‘ i would rather die because i betrayed them than live because i betrayed you ’  ‘ i believe you are my fate ’ ‘ why aren’t you scared of me? Why do you care for me? ’ ‘ tell me every terrible thing you ever did, and let me love you anyway ’  ‘ you look at me like there is something in me worth looking at ’ ‘ it terrifies me what i would do for you ’ ‘ why do i need anyone else when you exist? ’ ‘ we all eat lies when our hearts are hungry ’ ‘ you allow the world to think you’re a heartless monster, but you’re not. ’ 

Banter ‘ i have longed to throw something at you; a chair, a fireball , myself. ’ ‘ playing too many little games might get you in trouble, darling ’ ‘ you are an absolutely stunning, murderous little creature ’ ‘ clever as the devil and twice as pretty ’ ‘ a knife? are you flirting with me? ’ ‘ it's all lies, darling. ’ ‘ it seems you respond best to displays of violence. ’ ‘ you have a chilling lack of ethics. ’

Tragedy ‘ i won’t bury another friend ’ ‘ we are good people, and we have suffered enough ’ ‘ that person is never coming back ’ ‘ this freedom tastes like ashes ’ ‘ am i supposed to be grateful that i survived this? ’  ‘ where are these so-called-gods when you need them so much? ’  ‘ bad things happen when angry people grieve ’ ‘ some children are simply born with tragedy in their blood’

Fierce ‘ i am not violent.i am not malicious. i am a result. ’  ‘ you cant burn what’s already been scorched ’ ‘ because fuck you, that’s why. ’ ‘ if i cannot bend heaven, i will raise hell ’ ‘ i won’t ever forgive them, but i still want them to beg for it. ’ ‘ we were born in their world. but they will die in ours ’ ‘ i was born to make the world shake at my fingertips ’ ‘ i wonder which will get you killed faster; your loyalty or your stubbornness? ’ ‘ i will either find a way, or i will make one. ’ ‘ if he puts his hands on you, cut them off. ’

Comedic Relief ‘ sometimes you put a bunch of misfits together and you get a family. sometimes you get a bunch of assholes. ’ ‘ yes, it’s dangerous. that’s why it’s fun. ’ ‘ not to brag, but at least six men have described me as ‘terrifying’. ’ ‘ if you don’t terrify people a little bit, then what’s the point? ’ ‘ as you can see, i’m not dead. ’ ‘ excuse me. I have to go make a scene. ’ ‘ what, from the bottom of my heart, the fuck. ’ ‘ no matter what we do, it's probably not exactly legal. ’ ‘ can you shut the fuck up for one minute? i'm trying to pick this lock. ’

Octavia cannot imagine a life where she's content, everything seems to come at a price for her and she's not felt comfortable since she was sixteen. It's not fair but life isn't fair. So the moment something goes well for her, she gets suspicious, she can't get too comfortable if she does then she'll lose a good thing. She's simultaneously distant and clingy, reflecting how she's naturally a bit of an oxymoron of a woman.

Playing BG3 and having Octavia be an accidental goody two shoes because being bad made her feel bad really brought back the muse

❝ i’ve learned so much from you. part of it is admittedly criminal behavior. ❞ ❝ use the words  ‘little’  and  ‘girl’  to address me again and i can’t guarantee your safety. ❞ ❝ i knew you didn’t have what it takes to be a murderer. ❞ ❝ i promise that whoever did this to you will suffer. ❞ ❝ you really suck at this. cheering people up. ❞ ❝ are you feeling okay? you look a little pale. ❞ ❝ there’s nothing quite like the feeling of being proven right. ❞ ❝ your secret’s safe with me. ❞ ❝ why should i bother telling you anything? you’ve already decided i’m lying. ❞ ❝ to tell you the truth, i’ve never really fit in anywhere. ❞ ❝ how i missed those accusing eyes and youthful sneer. ❞ ❝ i’ll be keeping my eye on you. ❞ ❝ you’re hurt. can you walk? ❞ ❝ try anything and you’ll lose limbs. ❞ ❝ i should have known you were behind this. ❞ ❝ do you always speak in riddles? ❞ ❝ for someone who claims to have no friends, you certainly protect them. ❞ ❝ i refuse to play the role of a pawn in someone else’s corrupt game. ❞ ❝ any plans you have of running away end right now. ❞ ❝ or you can just glare uncomfortably. whatever works for you. ❞ ❝ i don’t have time to explain, but you’re in danger. ❞ ❝ i didn’t realize we were back on speaking terms. ❞ ❝ no man chooses evil because it is evil. he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks. ❞ ❝ emotion equals weakness. pull yourself together. ❞ ❝ there’s a monster out there, but everyone believes i made it up. ❞ ❝ how long do you intend on giving me the cold shoulder? ❞ ❝ if you die, i will kill you. ❞ ❝ whoever you are, show yourself. ❞ ❝ how long have you been lurking? ❞ ❝ believe nothing you hear and half of what you see. ❞ ❝ as usual, you underestimate me. ❞ ❝ i don’t believe that i’m better than everyone else. just that i’m better than you. ❞ ❝ i hope that one day, you’ll finally be able to accept me for who i am. ❞ ❝ i don’t want you to be a stranger in my life. ❞ ❝ i don’t plan on staying here long. ❞ ❝ not a hugger. got it. ❞ ❝ you’re soft and weak. you’ll never survive without me. ❞ ❝ do you make a habit of scaring the hell out of everybody?

❞ ❝ is that your professional opinion as the child of a murderer? ❞ ❝ you always had a unique perspective on the world. ❞ ❝ i don’t know what kind of sick joke you’re playing, but i’m out of here. ❞ ❝ at least it’s turning into a beautiful day. ❞ ❝ being your friend should come with a warning label. ❞ ❝ there’s no time. leave me. save yourself. ❞ ❝ we were good together. ❞ ❝ oh, great. i guess you can add ‘thief’ to your resume. ❞ ❝ whatever did this wasn’t human. ❞ ❝ the last thing i remember i was walking outside feeling a mixture of rage, pity and self-disgust. ❞ ❝ i’m not above breaking a few fingers. ❞ ❝ once again, you have underestimated the situation. ❞ ❝ i see the world as a place that must be endured. ❞ ❝ this will not end well for you. ❞ ❝ stop making enemies and start making friends. you’re going to need them. ❞ ❝ it’s been a long night. i’m tired of your games. ❞ ❝ never lose that. the ability to not let others define you. ❞ ❝ i make one mistake, and you can’t forgive me. ❞ ❝ my deviousness has finally rubbed off on you. ❞ ❝ you could have been seriously hurt or worse. ❞ ❝ my vengeance will be swift and true. ❞ ❝ no matter how hard i try, there will always be people who look down on me. ❞ ❝ danger is on its way. no time to delay. ❞ ❝ please, flattery will get you nowhere. ❞ ❝ do you have a death wish or something? ❞ ❝ i’m the villain in your fantasy. ❞ ❝ i just want you to know all i want is the very best for you. ❞ ❝ you know what your problem is? you don’t know who your real friends are. ❞ ❝ i did a terrible a thing, but i swear i’m not a terrible person. ❞ ❝ the world isn’t always black and white. there are shades of grey. ❞ ❝ where you see doom, i see opportunity. ❞ ❝ friends are a liability and can be exploited. that makes them weaknesses. ❞ ❝ i’m just gonna come out and say it. i want us to be more than friends. ❞ ❝ that’s so sweet. you didn’t have to get me anything. ❞ ❝ think you skipped where you apologize for acting like a jerk last weekend. ❞ ❝ you’ll use everyone to get what you want, even if it means putting them in danger. ❞ ❝ every time you get involved, people get hurt. ❞ ❝ there’s a biting sense of humor that i always adored. ❞ ❝ what does it feel like? to lose. ❞ ❝ i  have  great  admiration  for  well  executed  revenge  plots  but  yours  was  a  bit  extreme. ❞ ❝ what’s your excuse from creeping around in the middle of the night? ❞ ❝ i’ll survive alone. i always have. ❞ ❝ when you give me that death stare of disapproval, you remind me of your mother. ❞ ❝ are you all right? i can’t imagine witnessing something like that. ❞ ❝ i’m tougher than you think. ❞ ❝ the more you listen to them, the more their claws sink into you. ❞ ❝ people like me and you, we’re different. ❞ ❝ i would rather dye my hair pink than ask my mother for advice. ❞ ❝ i’ve never seen someone so blinded by rage. ❞ ❝ could we please do without the overt display of emotion? ❞

thiefcant·:

the admission comes after a particularly harrowing moment of creeping where they should not be, until rixian returned with fuller pockets and the keys to the building they were hoping to get into hooked onto his belt. he’s content with his haul until she speaks up and he gives a crooked smile.

“ oh, it’s in my blood. i’ve been picking pockets since i could walk. ”

he reaches into his pockets, dancing a gold coin across his fingers before he catches it with his thumb and forefinger to look at the face of the lord of waterdeep stamped into the soft metal.

“ you get good at it on the streets. with your help, it’ll be even easier. you make a scene and i walk away with the spoils. ”

Rix would never know how difficult it was for the bard to admit that maybe, just maybe, the half-elf managed to get better results than she did. But if it’s in the blood, she supposes that she can forgive her unknown rival for his skills.After all, they’re certainly an asset and Tav’s nothing if not a bit of a leech blessed with an eye for talent. 

“Oh? You’ll have to tell me about it sometime, I do adore a good story.”

Or a tragic one. Even a happy one will do, if she’s in the mood for it, though that's painfully rare. They're too popular a request for her.

“I’m aware, sadly I started late. But don’t worry, I’m well-versed in the art of distractions. Distracting guards, performing off-key in front of a haughty noble, just name it and I’ll provide. For a cut, but of course you knew that.”

the transition from people needing each other to wanting each other is literally one of my greatest weaknesses that shit makes me want to walk into the sea and sit on the ocean floor for a thousand years
