Itʼs so hard to breathe Smoke inside my lungs Burning in the heat A haunted reverie Oh my eyes are blurred Iʼm trapped inside a dream

Walking through the fire Running from the embers But I keep breaking under The weight of- the weight of everything

@wrathheld said "oh, no... let me go ahead and pass this problem onto someone else."

There's a long sigh that comes from Signe before she looks up to Gilles. Her expression is one of pleading. "Please Gilles, do this for me? I asked you because I know you're the best one for the job. I'd do it myself but I'm supposed to travel back to Val Royeaux, as much as I don't want to."

She stared at him for a moment before holding out her hand for the papers she'd given him. "I'm not going to make you do it though if you truly don't want to. I'm sure I can find someone else." The others may not like his — skill set — when it came to magic but it didn't bother Signe. She wasn't of this world and had surely used worse magic and done worse things for the sake of getting the job done.

Nimona Starters !

Taken from the Netflix movie, Nimona! Some of these have already been edited. You can change them however you see fit! There may be some light spoilers for the movie!

“If you want a happily ever after, you can never let your guard down, because the monsters are always out there.”

“I’m not brooding. I’m just— I’m thinking. This is my thinking face.”

“Wait, what do you mean? You think I’m their favorite?”

“Some of us don’t get the happily ever after we’re looking for…”

“The garbage and the smell of sadness really pull the whole thing together.”

“This one. This guy looks extremely punchable.”

“What? Are you disappointed that I’m not a murderer?”

“They only see you one way, no matter how hard you try.”

“The “old something, something, something, we win.” Terrible plan.”

“Did you see the way they looked at me?”

“Evil Larry. That’s a great villain name! You should totally change your name-“

“I think what you’re trying to say is, “Thanks for saving my life.” Three times, if you’re keeping score.”

“Where’s the drama? The screams of terror?”

“We’re villains. Embrace it!”

“Are you kidding? Does it even matter? It but me!”

“I mean, easier if you looked human.”

“Oh, no…. Let me go ahead and pass this problem onto someone else.”

“I hate to say it, but you make a pretty good bad guy.”

“So nice to hear you guys bonding. Ah, it’s such a shame I have to go. Let me go.”

“Who would protect (Name)?”

“(Name) set me up. They killed (Name).”

“Oh, hey buddy. I’m sorry for kidnapping you.”

“Arm chopping is not a love language!”

“Okay, fine. But when things go south, I’m breaking stuff.”

“It doesn’t matter. You shouldn’t need proof. You know I’m not a murderer!”

“Did I ever mean anything to you? Or was it all just a lie?”

“You believe that?! Then you never knew me at all.”

“They grew up thinking they could be a hero if they drive a sword into the heart of anything different. And I’m the monster?”

“I don’t know what’s scarier. The fact that everyone in this place wants to run a sword through my heart or that sometimes… I just wanna let them.”

“No matter what we do, we can’t change the way people see us.”

“I like it here. Let’s live here forever.”

“I’m sorry. I see you, (Name). And you’re not alone.”

“And what if we’re wrong? What if we’ve always been wrong?”

“Come back. Please come back.”

His grip on my arm tightens, his whole body vibrating. Something feral flashes in his gaze as he growls, "Who did this to you?"

Pardon me while I go FERAL over this book im reading. The who did this trope is one of my FAVORITES of all time. Like yes, please, rage against those who have hurt me. Raze the earth in my name. Start wars to avenge the wrongs against me.
