Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.

Re: LINES FROM FICTION THAT GIVE YOU THE FEELS

this thread going up while i was out of town was a hate crime against me personally



"I can't go yet. I have to finish my story about you! I wrote stories about everyone."
"I know you did. But my story's done, and it's a fine story."
"I can... let go?"
"You can let go."
"What happens then?"
"Another story, kid. What else?" (The Vanishing of Ethan Carter)


"'I forgive you,' she said.
'It doesn't count. It's not really you saying that.'
'No,' she said. 'It's you saying that.'" (Sea of Rust)


"I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags. Even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young. They're still princesses! All of us. Didn't your father ever tell you that? Didn't he?!" (A Little Princess, 1995 version)


"Are all people like this?"
"Like what?"
"So much bigger on the inside." (Doctor Who)


"Why do you want to leave me? Why do you want to leave me? I'm sorry I'm not real! If you let me, I'll be so real for you!" (AI: Artificial Intelligence)


"I am! I was!" (ibid)


"And I tried to help him; I tried. I said, "Honey, it's gonna be all right. Do you hear those sirens? That is Daddy, and Daddy is coming, and he's gonna help us; he's gonna save us.' But you never came." (Criminal Minds)


"The first thing I ever said to her was to recite a poem, so after a moment I finished this one for her, softly.

'Hope sails and plunges
firmly caught
at the end of her string -
fallen slack, pulling taught
ragged and featherless.
Hope never flies
but doggedly watches
for windy skies.'

She was quiet then. The last verse isn't really very hopeful. Poor ragged kite, always waiting for a wind that never comes.

Finally, Róza took a deep breath.

"It's windy now," she said." (Rose Under Fire)



"Every life is different because you passed this way and touched history. Even the child Ruth May touched history. Everyone is complicit. The okapi complied by living, and the spider by dying. It would have lived if it could. Listen: being dead is not worse than being alive. It is different, though. You could say the view is larger." (The Poisonwood Bible)



"When are you ever done with the story of someone you love? You turn the most precious of your memories over and over, wearing their edges smooth, warming them again with your heat. You touch the curves and hollows of every detail you have, memorizing them, reciting them once more though you already know them in your bones. Who ever thinks, recalling the face of the one they loved who is gone: yes, I looked at you enough, I loved you enough, we had enough time, any of this was enough?" (Our Missing Hearts)


and a bonus quote that i try very hard to keep in mind as a mantra for life:

"Why am I not doing what they're doing?"
"You're doing what you're doing. When it's time to do something else, you'll do that." (Dead Like Me)

oh, and


from the beginning of the book The Watch That Ends the Night:

"And of course the newsmen took their shots
as I bundled my Madeleine onto the train.
Then one of them asked me the question
(they've all asked it a thousand times before):

What's it like, sir? To be the richest man in the world?

And I answered him back as I buttoned my fur-collared coat:

'Cold, sir. It is very cold.'"




and from the end:

"Finally, I've reached my destination.
No light.
Just calm.
Quiet.
Peaceful.
Until suddenly
the darkness is shattered by an explosion of magnesium powder.

"Welcome to Saturn, Mr. Astor!" the photographer says.

"Colonel Astor," I correct him, with spots in my vision.

And even in the afterlife, they ask the same thing:

"What was it like, sir? To be the richest man in the world?"

And I answer them back,
still shivering from my travels,
dripping wet with knowing,
as I remove my life vest for good:

"Cold, sir. It is very cold."
