“There’s something I really need to tell you.” “I honestly thought that things would be very different.” “Do you wish you could have done it differently?” “What exactly did you think was happening here?” “How do you decide when it’s enough?” “I would die for this cause.” “There are only a few things in this world that are truly important to me.” “Ideals have to count for something.” “Why should I be a nice person?” “This was meant to be easier.” “I have an idea that I need to share.” “Look, you might not like me but we’re stuck in this.” “You remind me of someone I once knew.” “How long does it take people to change, I wonder?” “There are no good choices here.” “There are days I think we’re just in over our heads here.” “How do you keep going when things get hard?” “Are you genuinely interested in me as a person, or is this a game too?” “I care what I look like because I care what people think of me.” “Why did you decide to do it?” “You know what I really regret?” “I’m still struggling to believe any of this is real.” “Are you certain this is what you really want.” “Tell me a dream? Or a secret?” “Do you think you would still be the same person if things had turned out differently?” “What I really meant to say was very different.” “I don’t know if you’ll like what I have to say to you, but I have to tell you anyway.” “You were never supposed to know.” “Why can’t you just follow instructions?” “Why can’t you just ignore instructions?” “What chains you to this life? What keeps you here?”
the thing i don’t like about danny aside from how his generosity is like … too selfless to the point it makes him a doormat for people (bc he wants to be GOOD WITH THEM!/BEFRIEND THEM! since he’s been accustomed to that treatment in old port), is that like .. though he’s really happy, he doesn’t understand a lot about mental health issues like depression and think those’re just Bad Moods.
( danny: isn’t depression just a fancy word for feeling ‘bummed out?’ sb: danny you ignorant slut )
“ How funny. It’s strange; you look as though you’ve seen something. — A ghost, perhaps? ” The gun is tucked away with no discretion; the boy has already seen it, so he may as well get a good look, being unlikely that it’ll be the last time he sees it tonight.
feigns a smile that’s been shaky from the start. ❛ ahaha, uh .. yeah —!❜ it disappears when he glances down at the gun yet again; his back instinctively reclines away from the man, as if that will make him feel safer. ( it doesn’t. ) ❛ y-you’re .. not gonna kill me are you ? please, don’t ! i won’t say anything !❜ surprising the whole block hasn’t heard him, at this point.
if he keeps a safe distance, he should be okay. should be. the flashlight held by his hand is shaking. ❛ h— hey .. ! what – did — are you okay ?❜ scars on their body shines beneath the flashlight’s beam ; danny notices and isn’t sure what to make of this .. entity. @ultorrs / liked !
❛ the mainlanders have all these foods i haven’t heard of ! this hat dog ( holds up the hot dog loaded with different things on top. ) —- wonder why it’s called that. ❜@starchillcd / liked !
❛ i have noooooo idea what you mean, sir ! i - i didn’t see anything !❜ not so honest, and not such a good liar either. though his nervousness is real. @overlourdes / liked !
arms outstretch, feeling his way around. some time passes and searching hands make contact with a shoulder.
❛ i— uh, think we should look for the light switch ? or, a flashlight ?anything ! n-not cause i’m scared, i’m just– um, walking around isn’t too safe, y’know ? ❜@nxrestfxrthewicked / liked !
