Another book? Ahh, no. But that's a good guess. This is going to be a collection of quotes, lyrics, personal short stories, etc. But, some of them I do write myself (I obviously wont include citations for my own works).
I live for this stuff. Many times I am asked how I get my inspiration. Here's my answer. Since I mostly write about Angelique, the majority of this will be. But I am completely open to researching/including pieces about other DS characters or pairings. Besides, you can interpret the quotes however you like. I will be including characters that I think relate to the pieces I include. Enjoy!
"And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
In the crushes of heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me
Though the pressure's hard to take
It's the only way I can escape
It seems a heavy choice to make
And now I am under all
And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go."
-Florence and the Machine
(Angelique, Barnabas, Julia?)
Angelique. Her name: whispered soft as a prayer; but deadly as sin. A flawless, beautiful creature; surely only to have fallen from the heavens. Only the wise know not to find pleasure with her. For she can destroy with persuasion; her words smooth as silk, yet cold as ice. Her surface strong but undefined, for behind the surface lies the cracks that sink forever deeper in her soul. Fractures only visible from within. And to those close enough to her soul to see these cracks: God have mercy on your soul. For the he tells you: "Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes." Because she will destroy your heart just like her own was.
(Angelique)
"Till all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw me wink, no
I've been on the brink, so
Tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those ears
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away."
- OneRepublic
(Angelique, Barnabas)
It was pounding. Rage was surging through every vein in her body. A determined, conquering, menacing sort of hate. There was no one was left to care about. No one could stop her. No one would. They all deserved to die. Every single person that hurt her. They would all drown. Slowly, intimately, and in the worst way possible. They had to, they deserved it.
(Angelique, Barnabas?, Julia?)
"I'm your Opheliac
I've been so disillusioned
I know you'd take me back
But still I feigned confusion
I couldn't be your friend
My world was too unstable
You might have seen the end
But you were never able
To keep me breathing
As the water rises up again
Before I slip away
You know the games I play
And the words I say
When I want my own way
You know the lies I tell
When you've gone through hell
And I say I can't stay
You know how hard it can be
To keep believing in me
When everything and everyone
Becomes my enemy and when
There's nothing more you can do
I'm gonna blame it on you
It's not the way I want to be
I only hope that in the end you will see
It's the Opheliac in me
It's the Opheliac in me
I'm your Opheliac
My stocking prove my virtues
I'm open to attack
But I don't want to hurt you
Whether I swim or sink
That's no concern of yours now
How could you possibly think
You had the power to know how
To keep me breathing
As the water rises up again
Before I slip away
You know the games I play
And the words I say
When I want my own way
You know the lies I tell
When you've gone through hell
And I say I can't stay
You know how hard it can be
To keep believing in me
When everything and everyone
Becomes my enemy and when
There's nothing more you can do
I'm gonna blame it on you
It's not the way I want to be
I only hope that in the end you will see
It's the Opheliac in me
It's the Opheliac in me
Studies Show...
Intelligent girls are more depressed
Because they know
What the world is really like
Don't think for a beat it makes it better
When you sit her down and tell her
Everything's gonna all right
She knows in society she either is
A devil or an angel with no in between
She speaks in third person
So she can forget that she's me
Doubt thou the stars are fire
Doubt thou the sun doth move
Doubt truth to be a liar
But never doubt
Doubt thou the stars are fire
Doubt thou the sun doth move
Doubt truth to be a liar
But never doubt
Doubt thou the stars are fire
Doubt thou the sun doth move
Doubt truth to be a liar
But never doubt I love
You know the games I play
And the words I say
When I want my own way
You know the lies I tell
When you've gone through hell
And I say I can't stay
You know how hard it can be
To keep believing in me
When everything and everyone
Becomes my enemy and when
There's nothing more you can do
I'm gonna blame it on you
It's not the way I want to be
I only hope that in the end you will see
But never doubt
You know the games I play
And the words I say
When I want my own way
You know the lies I tell
When you've gone through hell
And I say I can't stay
You know how hard it can be
To keep believing in me
When everything and everyone
Becomes my enemy and when
There's nothing more you can do
I'm gonna blame it on you
It's not the way I want to be
I only hope that in the end you will see
the Opheliac in me"
