#I was very close to sobbing in the vegetable isle

[rabbithexrt]

I've gotten to the point with my mental health that I am mostly fine and dandy but then - like today - I experience sensory overload so bad that it takes all my self control to not have an anxiety attack in the middle of the store

Time to find my lines from Peter Hart 💖✨

1. A sad line

The noble shook his head once more. Peter tried again, his tone greatly hurt now, yet soft and unthreatening: “ Benjamin…. ”

Through his gentle sobs, the prince spoke in a cracking voice. “I….I didn’t want my heart to break…..” His lips curled as he tried to bottle his sorrow, but the waves wouldn’t cease. Finally, the onslaught of passionate grief overflowed from his chest to his tear ducts, and down his freckled face.

“Benjamin…..” Peter whispered low and gently.

“…..J-just break my h-heart already…..!” Benji’s crying breath hitched.

2. A line about a fight

“Time to train you on fighting, Benji.”

“W-wait, what? NOW?!” The prince shook his head, immediately caught off guard. The exhaustion that swept over his body, albeit still there, was cast aside by the shock of the captain’s request.

“Aye, now .” Peter chuckled. “A threat doesn’t wait until it’s convenient for you, prince. I’m gonna show you some techniques.”

3. A line about plants

“Good, good. We should be all set, then.” Captain Hart led the way to the mouth of the jungle, calling behind his shoulder. “Men, make sure you have your weapons at the ready…..oh, except you , Benji.” He snickered. “Just try to keep up, aye prince?”

“….” Benjamin rolled his eyes after giving the captain a glare that could’ve bore holes into his back. Still, he held his tongue as the crew made its way through the dense and humid vegetation towards the heart of The Isle.

Slashing through vines, Peter called back to his crew mates. “Watch your feet for snakes.”

“….!!” Benjamin carefully treaded along, being mindful of his footing so he didn’t accidentally get bitten. As the twigs crunched under their boots, Sebastian walked alongside the cabin boy and nodded.

“Your first adventure, Benji. How does it feel?”

“U-uh, well….” Benjamin picked up his feet, chuckling weakly and cynically. “…..Besides being abducted by pirates, nearly losing my life, and scrubbing the deck until my knuckles chaffed and my muscles burned like fire, there’s nothing else I can complain about, really….”

“Ah.” Sebby nodded awkwardly. “Still a bit sore from that, huh? That’s understandable, at the very least.”

4. A line about love

“My word. This is quite a leak, Benjamin….” Peter brushed some more tears from the noble’s soft cheeks. “….how are we going to patch this up, now?”

“I-I can’t help that m-my heart is spilling out….!!” Benjamin retorted weakly, though the floodgates did not slow as the tears gently plinked off of Peter’s pectoral.

Peter gently scoffed in endearment. ”Goodness, you’re precious….” He fixed Benji’s disheveled locks, before finally pressing the prince’s head deeper into his chest. “….Listen:”

Benjamin closed his eyes and concentrated on the gentle tick inside of the captain’s torso. The heart throb reverberated in the ribcage, soothing the regal’s staggered breath. Swallowing down the rest of his tears, he closed his eyes and nodded.

“You know what it’s saying, don’t you?” Captain Hart whispered. “‘ Ben-ji, Ben-ji, Ben-ji’ . If you listen close enough, you can hear it.”

“…..” Benjamin chuckled gently. “I doubt a heart’s ability to say words, Peter….”

”Not like us, but the heart definitely speaks…”

5. A line about forgetting

“…” The blonde glanced between the prince and his first mate, a bit dumbfounded. “…..Oh, right. I forgot.”

Davey held his forehead in his palm in profound disappointment. “Ohhhh….you’re in for it, now.”

Benjamin’s eye twitched as an apoplectic smile cornered his smudged lips. “A-are you telling me….that this whole thing…..was for NOTHING?! ”

“Well, not nothing… .I hope….?” Peter glanced at Davey, hoping his first mate could back him up.

Yay! Thanks friend!

11. What foreign country would you most like to visit and why?

Definitely the British Isles. Because I'm obsessed with British the shows and culture and have always wanted to go. I'd love to visit England, Scotland and Ireland.

Greece is a close second. Love Greek myths, Greek food, the beaches, the ruins. Ahhhhh. Would love to go there.

16. Any stickers on your laptop?

Not a single one.

26. Favorite thing to cook for yourself.

Pizza! Which means I'm generally assembling more than cooking, but I love adding meats and cheeses and vegetables to frozen or premade pizza crust. Pizza is life!

33. Favorite emoji?

The 🤗 emoji. It's so cute and says so much. Also very fond of the 😲 emoji. It just expresses something very useful.

37. Any movie you can watch over and over and enjoy just as much every time?

The Color Purple. I just watched it again for the first time in probably ten years, and I was a sobbing mess. It got even better, more touching, more meaningful since the last time I watched it. Also Mad Max: Fury Road. I could watch that movie a hundred times.
