what are your fav samcore quotes (from other media/people)

AH !! okay okay i love this

“I've drawn her unpicked, ribs splayed stretched like a xylophone with the dead birds playing tunes on her bones.” — Grief is the Thing With Feathers by Max Porter

"I can let go of the rope. But I can't let go of my brother." — Never Let Go (2024)

“What I wish to say is that you are not truly present nor alive, as if you were at the whim of another... like a doll, and someone or some thing had the power to breathe life into you, to move you?” — Nosferatu (2024)

"So you're waiting, even if you don't quite know it, waiting for the moment when you realise that you really are different to them; that there are people out there, like Madame, who don't hate you or wish you any harm, but who nevertheless shudder at the very thought of you - of how you were brought into this world and why - and who dread the idea of your hand brushing against theirs." — Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

"We did not say she was crazy then. We believed she had to do that. We remembered all the young men her father had driven away, and we knew that with nothing left, she would have to cling to that which had robbed her, as people will." — "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner

"The man I loved, after many years, asked me to / choke him in bed; later, cleaning a kitchen cabinet, I / found a recipe he’d carved into the wood, and I had a / hard time believing him." — "Who Makes Love to Us After We Die" by Diana Marie

“There comes a time when you look into the mirror and you realise that what you see is all that you will ever be. And then you accept it. Or you kill yourself. Or you stop looking in mirrors.” — Tennessee Williams

"Accept the gift and destroy, destroy yourself and yourselves. Or keep it. And bow down. Bow all the way down. And get right down to the dirty, dirty work. Work that gets dirty as it cleans." — Longlegs (2024)

#a mix of movies poetry and books and im sure there are others but this is a rough list <3 #💌#star notes #samcore #also grief is a thing with feathers is my favorite book i absolutely recommend !!

Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

There's so many things that we miss in our everyday lives

We're so busy hustling, bustling chasing far away dreams

We forget the little things

Like blue skies, green eyes and our babies growing

Like rainbows, fresh snow and the smell of summer

We forget to live

Give us eyes like children so we live each day as others

We're so sure we know so much that we forget to listen

Then we wonder fickle things

Like cheap thrills fast fuel and constant consumption

Like TV, CDs and cars that speak our names

We forget to live

There's so many things that we miss in our everyday lives

We're so busy hustling, bustling chasing far away dreams

We forget the little things

Like blue skies, green eyes and our babies growing

Like rainbows, fresh snow and the smell of summer

We forget to live

Mirror, mirror, mod of heor: friend or foe? A familiar that I know.

Reflective nouns, and teeth you found; hyperfixation of Phoenix wright- refraction shared as a harmless plight.

Always changing the Hero's making them harder-better-faster-stronger. So, long as it continues to bring you joy.

An internet cat, you say you are Mx. Beeble, instead of a friend- of the beetles.

Sender of strange birbs, and occasional spamming. Now it the time you shall know- your presence is appreciated.

Friend or foe, familiar or otherise unknown. Title matters not; you are dear still.

Appreciated, by an apl you are; Mx. Beebis- of Beeble.

[bolts upright in the shower] i need to reorganize my bookshelves

#my showerhead is really low so i am always slouching in there #anyway currently my fiction is kind of vaguely by genre. but this is nonsense. i should be organizing it by what it's doing for me #a) mainly blorbos. or maybe the worldbuilding is really cool or the plot is really absorbing. comfort reads.#b) it's less about the story than it is about the way in which the story is told (though it can also be about the story)#b would be austen; woolf; ishiguro; moby-dick; the name of the rose; if on a winter's night a traveler; their eyes were watching god #but also definitely imperial radch; broken earth trilogy; the raven tower; green bone saga. and poetry by definition #a would be six of crows; graceling realm; some childhood favorites; possibly the dispossessed but i would have to reread to confirm #also the goblin emperor! and maybe babel. maybe connecticut yankee in king arthur's court?? i would have to reread #twain (and dickens) in general would be difficult because they are so fun to read so definitely comfort reads. but also! that satire!#everything i never told you (which i just reread) would go in a. i suspect i claudius would as well but would have to reread #my two favorite short story writers might go in different places? ken liu is definitely b but ted chiang might be a #i don't currently own piranesi because i gave my copy to my sister to give to our impossible-to-shop-for sister for christmas #but reacquiring it is a priority. and when i have it where will it go? oh goodness. that's really hard #with tmbd it would just be which shelf has room for all of them. bc they are doing everything & fit in all categories #i think battle of the linguist mages (which is not even one of my favorite books but it's just so batshit that i have to respect #how batshit it is. and therefore can never get rid of it)#could go in either bc i do really like the worldbuilding but also the main thing it is doing for me is just being really wild #and uncategorizable. and reminding me of how fun it was to discuss it with my sister #books #my posts #i guess if i started mixing in the french books instead of keeping them on their own special shelf i'd be putting dumas in a #and maupassant in b. sartre and queneau in b. ionesco obviously b. the dictionary in b.#verne in a. hugo probably also in a though i respect the grind. really not sure where to put valérie perrin. or colette #this is making me realize i can get rid of some french books because i'm looking at them now and i wouldn't put them in either #because i didn't really get that much out of them. so why am i keeping them?#wow maybe this will help me get rid of more books...the real endgoal. if it's not sparking joy then it's outta here #i could take this further and do it for the nonfiction too. roget's and le robert de poche would definitely be in b

I'm reading poetry at 1 am and spiraling over like 45 emotions at once, which is how poetry was meant to be enjoyed, I think

#hella off topic in tags again lol #current list of favorites:#The Kiss by Stephen Dunn #Connubial by Stephen Dunn #Rain by Raymond Carver #the lesson of the moth by Don Marquis #May to December by Megan Fernandes (I need to buy her book at some point)#The Woman Who Turned Down a Date with a Cherry Farmer by Aimee Nezhukumatathil #and I Like My Body When It Is With Your by E.E. Cummings.#I do not CAREEEEEEEEE if any of this is low-brow poetry. I do not know what high-brow high-quality poetry even is and I'm fine with that.#all I care about is if it makes me feel things and if I personally like it ❤️. I do this for fun and not to rip it apart because it's 'bad'#i've spent too much time around pretentious literary people and that shit seems exhausting! ngl!!!#I have no interest in it. even if what I love is garbage then at least I love it #and I am not just pretending to love it because it makes me look smarter or whatever.#it's one thing if you're autopsying poems out of love for literary analysis and criticism or for a degree #but nothing gets me more than people who ruin others' enjoyment of simple things just to feel above them.#like oh? you like better poetry than me? you care more about feeling smart than enjoying things? should we throw a party? should I call CNN #sorry 😭 this got so salty but pretentious people really tick me off. I've met far too many of them #and I am PERFECTLY HAPPY with my trash interests! I am a raccoon! I love trashy things! thank you very much!#ok i'm going to sleep now though because in true 1 am fashion I am not staying on topic lol.#I tryyyyy to keep complaining/negativity to a minimum here but whatever. I am allowed to have this lol #I like my maybe-bad-poetry-but-i-wouldn't-know. I like bad 90s music. I like campy-ass batshit 2009 FFN fics. I like taco bell. amen.

the chapter songs in Alan Wake 2,, flawless

#they deserve more love and discussion #saying this while also not knowing what to say other than they’re so fucking good #alan wake 2 #i think it’s partially because poets of the fall’s tracks are iconic so of course they’re in the spotlight (as deserved)#but also the CHAPTER SONGS. them being made for a given chatacter(s) with the help of Sam lakes poetry #the changes with ‘this road’ by Poe with every Alan chapter. becoming more distorted and revealing lyrics and the spiral #the scratch song being 1) hilarious and 2) similar to Zane’s poetry in the aw1 arg #the emotion in superhero when saga feels lost at the story making it so Logan was gone #the lines of her feeling like a ghost in this story forming around her.. how she feels guilty and absent for both what the story’s doing #and being away from Logan because of her job. ashdhhhhjhh my heart #AND. follow you into the dark HAS to be alice. which kills me because at for at I thought of Alan #but no. Alice jumped in the dark place after him. it’s so !!!!!!!!!!!#the rabbit hole line. Alice spiraling deeper and deeper into a dream—into wonderland #the Lost at Sea one is also good. intrigues me. the Bowie and Lynch references are blatantly aw2 Zane #but it’s so similar to diver Zane and the ‘originals’ death. being lost in the dark place with illusions of escape #and losing any sense of identity. whether he’s real at all or the monster of this sea or just a lost soul.#the soft and calm vocals / instrumental really makes the whole thing #NEED to stop typing more tags because this is a Lot. however.#‘no one left to love’ is also a phenomenal song and one of my favorites from the album. GORGEOUS vocals and how it all flows together.#such a powerful and beautiful way to end a chapter #anyway that’s all I had to say :)#god. I’ve started to watch a few playthroughs of the game and 90% of people have skipped the chapter songs and every time im #that’s fair but my brain and soul might implode if I don’t see anyone else talking about how good these songs are

“I have this idea.”

“What is it little love?”

It’s a lifetime,

A eternal promise.

It’s you.

And it’s me.

It’s longer than forever because I could climb onto your soul and it wouldn’t be long enough.
