#love humiliates you but hatred cradles you

[april-diariees]

"Isn't it funny. I'm enjoying my hatred so much more than i ever enjoyed love. Love is temperamental. Tiring. It makes demands. Love uses you, changes its mind. But hatred, now, that's something you can use. Sculpt. Wield. It's hard, or soft, however you need it. Love humiliates you, but Hatred cradles you."

- Janet Fitch, White Oleander

white oleander, pt. 1.

dialogue prompts from white oleander by janet fitch.

i never sleep.

don't forget who you are.

it's a traitor's moon.

dawn has a way of casting a pall on any night magic.

what are you reading these days?

that jacket is so ugly i can't even look at you.

my hatred gives me strength.

i can read your mind. i know every move you make.

i know your future, and it doesn't look good.

i almost feel sorry for you, but not quite.

you don't know what i can do.

fear tastes just like champagne. cold and crisp and absolutely without sweetness.

i'm enjoying my hatred so much more than i ever enjoyed love.

love humiliates you, but hatred cradles you.

i'd keep you if i could.

you see a lot.

you've got the sin virus in your blood.

see you in the morning. don't close the window.

wherever you go, write to me. write at least once a week.

have you ever heard me calling, felt my presence in your room?

you never could sleep.

tell me more about yourself. i want to know everything about you.

don't even think of trying to redeem me.

the good don't get a better break than anybody else.

you always were a bad influence.

if you leave, you are never coming back.

i can't do all this by myself.

you were my home.

there is no one else in the world but you and me. don't you know that?

nobody becomes an artist unless they have to.

it's one thing to hope, but if you don't take care of yourself in the present, you won't survive.

admire the skill of a fellow magician, but never fall under his spell.

i'd like to know you.

you've always had a good head on your shoulders.

you would have been a good secret agent.

life should always be like this.

i hate crowds. i'm always afraid i'm going to be crushed.

you'll latch yourself to anyone who shows you the least bit of attention, won't you?

no point in trying to be brave.

you got something to drink? i want to get really drunk.

next time i'll send you a postcard. how's that?

i don't want things. i just want to feel like someone gives a shit.

what was the best day of your life?

tell me the truth. i won't be upset.

can't you see how ugly i am?

"Isn't it funny. I'm enjoying my hatred so much more than I ever enjoyed love. Love is temperamental. Tiring. It makes demands. Love uses you. Changes its mind." Her eyes were closed. Beads of water decorated her face, and her hair spread out from her head like jellyfish tendrils. "But hatred, now. That's something you can use. Sculpt. Wield. It's hard or soft, however you need it. Love humiliates you, but hatred cradles you. It's so soothing. I feel infinitely better now." "I'm glad," I said. I was glad she felt happier, but I didn't like the kind of happiness it was, I didn't believe in it, I believed it would crack open sooner or later and terrible things would come flying out.

"HOW TO MAKE ALLISER THORNE HATE YOU" a guide by Jon Snow

Alliser Thorne is made by the stuff of grumpy, bad teachers everyone had in highschool. It's easy to dislike him when he's having beef with the teenage boys he's supposed to teach how to fight (and instead he often torments).

Re reading Jon's early chapters I was shocked to re discover that he didn't reserved a special kind of hatred for Jon from the beginning. On his introduction on Jon's third AGOT chapter, Alliser Thorne is shown to even praise (shocking, I know) Jon's skills. Of course this isn't done because he likes the young boy but rather because he wants to mock the other new recruit who performed badly against him ( you see even when he's going praise to your our main character, Thorne remains despicable):

"Enough!" Ser Alliser Thorne had a voice with an edge like Valyrian steel.

Grenn cradled his hand. "The bastard broke my wrist."

"The bastard hamstrung you, opened your empty skull, and cut off your hand. Or would have, if these blades had an edge. It's fortunate for you that the Watch needs stableboys as well as rangers." Ser Alliser gestured at Jeren and Toad. "Get the Aurochs on his feet, he has funeral arrangements to make."

As Jon says himself, Thorne dislikes him but he dislikes the other boys more:

Thorne hated him, Jon had decided; of course, he hated the other boys even worse.

It all changes when Jon starts to train the other new recruits, himself. Thorne makes a comment which is more aimed to humiliate his other students rather than Jon. Then Jon replies with a snarky joke. That's not something Thorne is used to ( although it's exactly what he deserves) and it wounds his pride.

Alliser Thorne overheard him. "Lord Snow wants to take my place now." He sneered. "I'd have an easier time teaching a wolf to juggle than you will training this aurochs."

"I'll take that wager, Ser Alliser," Jon said. "I'd love to see Ghost juggle."

From that moment he despises Jon more than the rest. At the end of the chapter he's even referred as someone who is Jon Snow's enemy:

Ser Alliser never took his eyes from Jon. As the laughter rolled around him, his face darkened, and his sword hand curled into a fist. "That was a grievous error, Lord Snow," he said at last in the acid tones of an enemy.

Hiiii bestie its me again, Sal's yume gf 💘💝🥰😳 I've been adjusting to new meds (IM ON XANAX.. not really teehee) so I haven't really been online. But Sal and I are still together, in my 💖 so okay. You wanted to know what we do on dates. Well when I was about 7 or 6 my older sister thought it would be funny to make me watch the exorcist, she was 15 and she hated my fat ass but anyway!!!! I developed a huge fear of being possessed. Since I wouldn't believe my mom that demons aren't real she told me okay why don't you try to be the demons friend? and basically for the rest of my life I became ## obsessed with the idea of possession and mind control. So that was probably stupid to share but anyway I like to imagine that our dates are sometimes more chill and cozy and we are at home eating dinner or watching movies because we want to be close and not around other people. Or if we go in public he sort of wears me like a flesh suit and he rides me like a horse and he possesses me. And I'm sort of just watching as Sal does things to or with my body. And it can be incredibly kind and confident and things I'd never do or incredibly humiliating and embarrassing but ultimately I submit to him because I know he loves me 🥰💘💖💝🥵 Salaca wants to be re born and I think being inside a human host body makes Sal feel safe and its like being cradled in the womb. And the fact that Sal never shows disgust or hatred for people with my body type (I'm a big gal) is very affirming for me!! I think he'd enjoy getting to walk around and experience a soft flesh suit. I've never really latched onto a fan character like Sal before but the idea of sharing my body with him and showing him that kindness and sometimes he's greatful sometimes he's mischevious is very appealing to me. Sometimes I even wear long sleeves under short sleeves so I can pretend he's creeping up my arm 🥵 by the way since you draw them as fish I had an idea like. Sal is a shark and Orlaag is one of those suckered that attach to them. Or a tongue eating parasite. I think it would be cute. This isn't a commission thing because I'm NEET but its just a suggestion for the future okay anyway thank you for my boyfriend Sal I love you byyyyeeee bestie 🎁💝💘💖🥰💞🙈💋💌💖💗😻👽

WHAT A READ YUMEANON.

glad you are feeling better and hope you are adjusting to your meds well!

Sal’s a demon - he doesn’t care about looks - he wants someone with a warm heart (…that he can steal for his own).

your suggestions for the fish are insanely close to future plans with those fish visions. I was considering a remora fish edgar to be stuck on Nathan’s back during a dream sequence… but I think a beluga would work better, since they are so damn smart. The parasite tongue sounds wicked - if I ever do that, I’ll credit you like i do with volunteered ocs as “yumeanon”.
