"if i was orpheus i would simply not turn around" yes you would. if you were orpheus and you loved eurydice, you would. to love someone is to turn around. to love someone is to look at them. whichever version of the myth — he hears her stumble, he can't hear her at all, he thinks he's been tricked — he turns around because he loves her. that's why it's a tragedy. because he loves her enough to save her. because he loves her so much he can't save her. because he will always, always turn around. "if i was orpheus i would simply —" you wouldn't be orpheus. you wouldn't be brave enough to walk into the underworld and save the person you love. be serious

#this one this is the one #to love someone is to turn around #to love someone is to look at them #SOBBING

There is supposed to be a place where no one can reach you. Traditionally, the home, but now we settle for the ocean, the airplane, the summit of a mountain, the middle of a lake, the shower, the womb, the grave

ok bc i am overwhelmed by the many scenes i could write next/in the future for high tide (my show continuation fic) i am now outsourcing to everyone here lol—any ideas or requests for scenes you’d like to see if u are reading it?

i’m also planning on doing little ones not in the book, like something that introduces harij to all the crows

#any and all ideas welcome!#aiming for it to be mostly kanej/kaz/inej centered #but open to having scenes that focus on other characters too!
