Fic quotes for the soul

Kittenly · Feb 17, 2017 at 10:31 AM

From Currie Belle's "A Civilized Discussion."

Note this is from the POV of bear.

Trinket is ashamed, because he’s still confused about the human’s name. The male one, with the big blue coat, who always smells like smoke and metal. Names are a part of manners, and he has a very, very long name that Vex prefers to shorten, but Trinket can’t tell if it’s being shortened to “Percy” or “Dear”, because she says them both all the time (and sometimes together). Trinket errs on the side of caution and calls him “Percy Dear” when they talk, because Percy Dear is a ‘delicate’ human

I will also try to find a particularly good section from her other fic, Wise Man's Tree, but as of right now, I'd just quote all of it because it's soooo well written.

Jake English's Mysterious Theatre on Thirty Hs:

Jake: The term “rape ape” is…

Karkat: HELL NO. I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR YOU DESCRIBE EVERY LITTLE DETAIL ABOUT THE HISTORY OF RAPE APES. I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT HOW FREUD USED RAPE APES AS A METAPHOR FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT. I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE RAPE APES OF NORSE, EGYPTIAN, MESOAMERICAN, GREEK OR JAPANESE MYTHOLOGY. I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE RAPE APE SONNETS OSCAR WILDE WROTE, THE RAPE APE MOVIES HITCHCOCK DIRECTED OR THE RAPE APE SYMPHONIES THAT MOZART COMPOSED. I DO NOT EVEN CARE IF A RAPE APE IS ACTUALLY A REAL THING BECAUSE I SURE AS HELL DON’T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY CONSERVATIONISTS TO KEEP THEIR POPULATIONS FROM DWINDLING. I JUST WANT TO STOP THINKING ABOUT GORILLAS MADE ENTIRELY OUT OF ERECT HUMAN BREEDPIPES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

Jake: …I was just going to say that the name is a parody of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon character “grape ape”.

Karkat: OH. WELL… I DIDN’T WANT TO HEAR THAT EITHER. SO THERE!

He talked to the organizers; he asked them if they were sure; and when the time came, during the protest rally, he walked up to the podium in jeans and a #RESIST t-shirt, and he could tell for a minute nobody knew who he was.

“Good morning,” he said, using the smile and the voice he’d practiced selling bonds, seventy years ago. “My name is Steve Rogers. I came to march with you today.”

This one's from an Old Shame of a friend of mine, it's kind of cheesy and it's for Happy Tree Friends of all things, but this bit still gets my heart.

"It's a lovely flower, Cub. She'd love it, and it'll be here forever. Just like us."
Cub let the silk flower drop onto the grave. "I like the real ones better, Mista Flip."
Blinking in surprise, Flippy questioned him. "Really? Why do you say that?"
"I like 'em better," Cub replied with a shrug.
"Even though they die?"
Cub nodded furiously, his face completely serious. "I like 'em cause they die."
"But why?"
The younger bear stared up at him as though the answer was obvious. "Because they real."

reminds me of this bit from Graduate Vulcan for Fun and Profit:

Jim followed Sakel obediently to the right edge of the garden grounds, a little by the gift shop. There was a bush there, not as showy as the other plants -- the leaves are small, more like the wild progenitors of domestic roses, with tiny sharp thorns copiously evident. The flowers, too, were primitive, tiny five-pointed things of white shading into palest pink. A plaque underneath it declared it a daughter-shoot of a plant a thousand years old at the time of the cutting.

"Do you know why this plant is valued?" said Sakel. A Vulcan child might understand immediately, but there was no telling if Jim would understand the lesson Sakel was attempting to teach. Therefore: the asking of questions.

"Because it's old?" hazarded Jim.

Sakel knelt down beside Jim, the better to look at him. He said, "That is not quite correct. It is valued for its age, yes." He reached out to touch one of the blossoms. He could feel the faint distant thought-patterns of the plant. "But more - it is valued because it still blooms."

Jim looked back at him, his blue eyes steady. Sakel knew that there was nothing he could do to truly help Jim. The path of logic must be walked by oneself alone. But one could offer a light, perhaps, or point out a path to ease another's way.

"It is a living thing," said Sakel. "After all this time, after all the distance it has traveled, it is still a living thing."

I read a very feels heavy fic before this (id quote it but nearly the whole thing had me crying/having flashbacks cause the trauma bits were too familar) and in my search for a more lighthearted one i came across a description that has me so hyped right now

In which mistakes are made that can't be taken back. Mistakes that land Sans and Mettaton in another reality. One where they are share the same body. Whoops.

Surrounded by friends that don't remember they even existed as separate entities, can our heroes find a way back to normal?

More importantly, can they survive each other until then?

Do you know how fucking BUCK WILD this has the potential to be? I really hope it turns out good, so far im not even a page in and mettaton has already presumably broken up with papyrus for, and i quote, "upstaging him". Im so ready for this to be the hatefic i was looking for.

The problem with human beings... people, he corrected himself mentally, because if he started referring to them as 'human beings', he could start referring to them as 'beings' and later as 'things' and ovens begin to seem like a reasonable idea. The problem with people was that when they saw a human-shaped thing, they judged it to be human. When they saw that the human-shaped thing had something they could never have, like immortality and apparent invulnerability, their jealousy would compel them to be suspicious.

“HI, BILLY MAYS HERE!” bellowed BILLY MAYS as he slid across the plane towards her, holding what looked like a backpack. “I’m here to tell YOU about our new and improved surplus Air Force parachute, guaranteed to get ANYONE out of a burning plane and to safety, especially YOU! It’s easy! All you do is put your arms in these easily-adjustable straps, fasten the harness, and pull the cord as soon as you’re clear of the explosion! But I’m not done yet! If you miss the cord or something goes wrong with your chute, this awesome BACKUP CHUTE automatically activates five seconds after you jump! And we’re throwing this all together for no extra cost!"

The man pulled out his dick

“Ahem.”

“He pulled out his dick, what did I do wrong now oh Cock Sensei?”

The man pulled out his purple headed yogurt slinger

“Oh. My. God.”

[...]

He was going to fuck him good and hard, and he was going to like it better than the greasy pizza he’d had that afternoon for lunch. Piece of ass before piece of pizza, except when it’s already occurred.

“You’re a dick, Dave, this is fucking dreadful.”

“I prefer the term pulsing hot scepter of fuck, thanks. But that’s kind of the point. Carry on to the new paragraph.”

Garrus Vakarian, in Sense and Flexibility

from Diamonds and Stars, the pale porn star au we all deserve:

Terezi digs a few thousand caegar out of his handlers through undisclosed methods that you aren’t allowed to see or hear, because TH4T’S JUST1C3. Drops a quick little smack of a kiss on your lips, backhands you casually in the face, and then strolls off cackling while you’re holding your face and swearing.

You yell “FUCKING THANK YOU, YOU DRIED-UP BITCH!” after her, and by the time she turns the corner she’s laughing so hard she can’t walk straight.

The Dark could be far gentler than the Light, though Ben knows that few would believe it so. The Dark sees the great gashing wound you’ve made of yourself and cradles your fingers into your palm, croons sweet as sorghum that it’s okay, okay, okay. Above all, it comforts first the breaks and lesions already within yourself. Only later, when the fracture is healed but not quite set, does it begin making demands of your pain to afford the same relief. Only in the end do you realize that the Dark never once told you that it did not want to see you hurt again. Never once did it say that once you reached your higher aim, your pain would abate.
