@takealook-fall​ said :  what are you planning, exactly? ( emma to alyssa )

“I don’t know,” Alyssa says, shaking her head. “A nice time out? I know driving way out of town for a date isn’t the most romantic thing ever, but  we wouldn’t have to worry about what anyone else thought about us. We could just be us.” Alyssa  knows she’s the one that’s really worrying. Emma’s come out, she’s not afraid to stand up for herself. Alyssa’s scared to even suggest that she might not like boys. “It could be fun. I can drive us and we can listen to music and see a movie and just.... I don’t know. Be us.”

he had a hard time believing all night that this was real and even if it wasn’t real, that he would be allowed to stay in this fantasy of his. he sat at the head table with jenny by his side and he was eating the most delicious cake that he has ever tasted in his life, but still found himself staring at the beautiful woman next to him in complete and utter awe. he was almost afraid that she would disappear at any point, reaching out to hold her hand.

“jenny... you are my wife, can you believe that? i can’t believe it, jenny, the girl of my dreams, is actually my wife.”

@takealook-fall ! for jenny

@takealook-fall​   /   it’s a miracle that grandpa’s old truck made it to the mall in this weather. frankly, it’s a wonder the stupid thing even runs at all, but today is a special exception. with school being cancelled, the old man thought of spoiling emily and peter by taking them to the mall — 

but emily’s phone says that the road are slick as ever, and the snow is building up to over four feet. and worse than that ... the entire mall is dark. there’s the faint glow of emergency lights in the distance, but the warm and welcoming allure of ‘open’ signs and store fronts is dead, all while the wind howls outside.

“no ... i tried texting my dad, but it won’t send —“ peter is too young for a cellphone, and grandpa doesn’t trust them. they always meet at the food court at a scheduled time, but emily’s thinking their trip should end sooner than later. she notices the anxiety etched so clearly on lex’s face, although she tries to hide it. 

“are ethan and hannah here with you today? i’m sure they’re okay ... they’ll probably be on their way to find you any minute now.”

@takealook-fall​ LIKED FOR EMILY!     /     you know, this precious time before school could be spent studying, or catching up on homework, or — anything besides running around the school and trying to avoid a senior boy. she deliberately showed up early, knowing he’s late to every class he’s enrolled in, and yet somehow, emily’s cornered. no one is in the band room, thank god, so she shuts the door behind her and pushes a puny, plastic chair in front of the handle.

with a sigh of relief, emily plops onto her ass and curls her knees up to her chest — until a muffled yet gorgeous tune reaches her ear. emily crawls across the carpeted floor on her hands and knees (it hurts like hell, but she doesn’t want to be seen) towards its source: a practice room. 

“hey —“ once rising to her feet, the blonde knocks on the glass; immediately after, she throws a thumbs up; “you sound amazing in there!”

        ❝  don’t  laugh,  ❞   she  says  with  a  light  chuckle   of  her  own,  glancing  sideways  at  her  cousin.   some  might  say  it  was  a  little  silly  or  naive  to  constantly  think  of  marriage,  but  at  their  age,  one  could  suppose  that  it  was  almost...  practical  to  have  such  thoughts.   finding  a  good  match  was  difficult  now,  what  with  the  war  going  on;  she  and  natasha  were  lucky  to  have  men  promised  to  them  before  it  began.   just  a  pity  that  andrei  and  nikolai  were  off  fighting  instead  of  being  with  them.   ❝  i  just  want  a  nice,  easy  life  once  i’m  wed  ---  i’ve  never  been  too  fond  of  extravagant  parties  or  extravagant  anything.   what’s  wrong  with  that ?  ❞

@takealook-fall / lex & alice !

She was supposed to go out and see Mamma Mia with her dad and her girlfriend, to finally get a chance for them to get along. It seemed like faith had other plans in store as she was stuck back in school through a thunderstorm, the opportunity for her dad and girlfriend to get along together being nowhere in sight.

No, she was stuck with something mythical and cryptic, her only source of sanity being another girl from her class. Alice only knew her through Debby, knowing that they often went out to smoke together.

❝ Do you think the cops are coming? ❞  she inquired, daring herself to take a look at Lex.

Did they even know how to handle a situation like this?

[ @takealook-fall​ said: there ain’t no hope for us. from laurey? ]

“Hope Is Something You Decide If You Have Or Not!” The Toy Soldier said cheerfully. “If You Do Not Believe There Is Hope, Then There Is No Hope! But If You Think There Is Hope, Then You Have Given Yourself Hope!” It bounced in place for a bit, just excited to be talking to someone. “Only You Decide How Much Hope You Have!” It wasn’t sure if it was being helpful or not. It hoped it was.

@takealook-fall​ liked for a starter! muses : christine & meg

"What’s he like?” Meg can’t help but be curious. Christine’s life seems so mysterious to her, something much more complicated and interesting than Meg’s own life, or the lives they’d had as children. Her dark eyes turn up to look at Christine as they sit together, stretching after rehearsal. “The angel of music. What’s he like?”

{ @takealook-fall​ asked: “ power is a curious thing.” helen to kassandra? } super old memes time

“is it?” kassandra asks quietly. “what is it that intrigues you, helen of sparta?”

@takealook-fall​ said : i think it’s pretty cruel dea to eurydice?

“I know. I do too.” Eurydice shakes her head slowly, sighing. “But we have to keep going. No matter what. Right? There’s not much else to do except give up, and I’m not giving up.”

[forwardmoved-a]

he was sweating up a storm but it was all in a day’s work, he had hardly realized that the day had flown by if it weren’t for lex in the front seat of his latest project, occasionally reminding him that he needed to take a break. finally stepping back from being hunched underneath the hood for what seemed to be hours, his hands would reach for the hand towel strung across his shoulder with a huff before calling out over the music. “hey, babe, could you do me a favor and get her started for a sec?”

@takealook-fall ! for lex

[wldbirds]

@takealook-fall​: 🤞 — a muse that would get along well with yours. adelaide or mimi? 

“  --  𝑪𝑶𝑼𝑹𝑺𝑬 𝑰𝑻 𝑨𝑰𝑵'𝑻 𝑯𝑬𝑨𝑽𝑬𝑵 . “  sitting outside the bar , waiting for night to fall .  there’s a chill in the air .  CHRISTMAS BELLS ARE RINGING , CHRISTMAS BELLS ARE RINGING .  SOMEWHERE ELSE . NOT HERE.  eurydice’s smile resembles a grimace ,  the coat on her thin shoulders can barely keep her covered ,  the lit cigarette in her hands is the only warmth she can muster .  like others on the street ,  she has shadows under her eyes .  like others on the street , she has track marks along her arm .  “  but there’s no where else for us . “

{ @takealook-fall​ asked:  Orpheus is tired. So tired. But seeing her, knowing that he had done the right thing in coming to get her out of here, Orpheus knew it was all worth it and so, inching closer, the man raised his voice. "Come home with me?" }

The scent of him catches her off-guard. She never thought she would see him again. That was partly the idea, anyway. Being away from Orpheus means keeping him safe. Safe from her. It was supposed to be better this way, even if it broke both their hearts.

He speaks, and Eurydice’s heart races. She looks up, and it’s like the sun is shining on her once again.

“It’s you...” He shouldn’t be here, she knows. But she can’t bring herself to care. “Orpheus...”

[songdreamt]

{ @takealook-fall​ asked (eons ago!) : “ i hate seeing you like this … please , let me help . ” from hades to seph }

persephone huffs indignantly before downing another shot of bourbon. how dare he come down here, actin’ like he’s all concerned. the glass lands on the bar top with a sharp clack.

“don’t need your help, husband,” she snarls, without looking over at him. “fuck off.”

[crisisbabe-archive]

@takealook-fall​ asked ❝ can you forgive me for this ? ❞

          “ hey -- ” this wasn’t easy. nothing about this was easy. the world had crumbled down around them. people were calling it world war three , but half of lex’s world was already gone , and it took all the strength she had to hold on to the other half. hannah. be strong for hannah. it was a mantra that had tattooed itself into lex’s mind long before she knew the full scale of what it meant. and now , no matter how fucked the world was , or how much her heart arched , her sister needed her. so she couldn’t fall apart.

         and she couldn’t blame her , either. not for anything. not ever.

         “ there’s nothing to forgive , okay ? ” lex knelt down , eye-level with her sister ( it didn’t matter if hannah met her gaze , all that mattered was that she heard her ) and gently smoothed over the top of hannah’s hair. “ i need you to know that it isn’t your fault. you didn’t hurt anyone and you aren’t the reason-- ” ethan died. but she can’t say his name. no matter how strong she was , even lex had limits. instead , she takes a breath , knowing that the pause speaks for itself. “ -- any of that shit happened. ”
