Fic quotes for the soul

Some of them were slumming it, some of them wanted a thrill or to see something new. A few came because you did, and they wanted you to see them engaging in the same kind of behavior.

Look! They screamed with their eyes and their calculated socialization. See I can do what you want, so give me what I want later. It’s a trade.

What you want to say, but have to hold inside of you close like a clam making a pearl is: what are you doing, when I am not watching?

“Anakin,” Jiorra suddenly calls on him. “Can you help us settle an argument?”

“What about?” Anakin asks.

“You said you made droids? Do you know anything about the cleaning droids the temple uses?” She asks.

Anakin thinks of the several he’s dismantled and put back together. “Yeah?”

“Which do you think would stab more people in the ankles if it had a knife taped to it? The M5L2 or the new M5L3’s?”

“Clever,” said Yem Yeddo, with the slightest tinge of anxiety in his voice, as all tyrants are wont to have when confronted with an honest man.

Yeah, straight people think the gays are like, distributed evenly throughout the population. It’s like US Representatives, you get a certain amount based on your census data. Like, if there are ten people in a room and one of them’s gay, straight people are like, oh, there he is, I found the gay one. But actually, if there are ten people in a room and one of them’s gay, that's a fucking gay room! That's ours now! The decorator is on the way. We travel in herds. If you think you’ve spotted a lone gay, you are not looking hard enough, and we already have you surrounded.

Straight people love a gay! They love one gay person at a time. They are so into that, conceptually, the idea of one gay person. It shows up constantly in movies and books and shit, the friends group with exactly one homosexual. Right? Representation! Here's a normal group of people, and statistically speaking, one of them should be gay. 'Cause if there's less than that it seems like we don't care about gay people, but if there's more than that--ew. They might start doing something gay. Like, we can't have that, right? This is for general audiences! Nobody wants to see you perverts--organizing an anti-bullying workshop or arguing about who should have won Drag Race 5 or whatever freaky shit you do together. Comparing your favorite farm-to-table brunch restaurants. Keep it in the bedroom, pal. So what they do is they give us the one gay person. They're great, they probably have an unrequited crush on one of their straight friends, so we can all feel kinda sad about it but also we don't have to think about them fucking. Okay, so that's our gay representation, we've got that covered!

“You should know, I’ve always hated the way people say that. Loved. Past tense. It’s ridiculous. When someone… goes, you grieve because everything you felt for them is still the same. People aren’t like a bottle of cheap booze from a shelf in the dry-end. When you lose someone, you can’t just pour one out and try again. It’s never been that simple. You still love or hate or feel them long after they’re gone and as long as you live you carry them inside you. That’s just the way it is.”

"You… have had dreams… about giving me a boner." It was all Wen Ning could do to keep from losing it.

Wei Wuxian pouted and tapped the side of his nose. "When you say it that way, it sounds perverse. This is a totally platonic dream about giving you a boner, I swear!"

"Do you ever hear the words that come out of your mouth?"

"Yeah, I do, and they're like— look, just listen to what I, or like, the other me, has to say?"

Nevermind. Shikamaru could find out by himself. And if by some mysteries he couldn't, he had an entire army of vicious paperwork shinobi at his disposal, ready to burn houses and slash necks for their Naruto-sama. People always underestimated the paperwork shinobi, yet they were the ones you knew best how to ruin lives legally.

“It wasn’t that, not exactly. She’s… She has friends from school and stuff. She plays with them and she loves Mom and Dad. Maybe that’s just for show, or maybe… I dunno. On TV, they always make it seem like the bad guys aren’t that bad as long as they care about something. In real life though… Well, I guess you know about Viridiana - he doesn’t have anyone here, right? Guy’s a total b-word, but he really loved his kid, that’s what people said anyway, when he disappeared and everyone was wondering if it was him…” He coughs. “Anyway, maybe caring about one person doesn’t matter so much - no matter how much you care about them - if you aren’t willing to do half that for anybody else.”

“You know, for someone who’s a megalomaniacal mass-murdering psychopath, you're unnervingly good at reading people.”

“WAS. Was a megalomaniacal mass-murdering psychopath, thank you. I'm reformed.”

“Last time I came for a visit you threatened to string me up from the ceiling by my own intestines.”

“It’s a work in progress.”

"Please keep your attention on the trap, Kakashi, and I'll deal with the tiger."

"But Naruto asked me to look after you," Kakashi said.

Iruka scowled. He could just imagine that. "I am going to strangle him."

"Why, Iruka-sensei. I thought you cared about that boy."

"I love him like a younger brother," Iruka said. "And I'm going to strangle him like a younger brother, too."

“Well… you see, Heinz… it’s not that we don’t value your contributions, it’s just… look, this project is probably the biggest thing that we’ll attach any of our names to, and… you tend to have a certain… style when you go about naming things and-”

“There’s no way we’re letting you talk us into calling it the Energy Car-inator.”

“I didn’t know Penny was a girl yet!”

What a great way to start a chapter, and honestly a very fun out of context quote

ChelG · Nov 30, 2020 at 9:48 AM

tt: I'll go the classic route and use Uchyha's second law of vengeance, assuming ideal discrete-wave antagonism conditions and a 100% mortality rate.
tt: In which case the equation simplifies down to V*(Q*M)^n where V is the initial number of victims, Q is the quadrant correction factor, M is the caste motivation correction factor, and n is the number of iterative waves.
[...]
EB: we are trying to bail people out of tough situations here, not teach them obscure revenge calculus.
tt: It isn't calculus, jackass. None of the conditions are changing.

The Doomslayer had pulled the blanket off of the back of his desk chair, where it was currently thrown over one of his arms. He strode over to the beam of light that suspended the wrecked body of Samuel Hayden in mid air. Casually, he draped the blanket over the cyborg, as if he were a parakeet. Dr. Hayden was not pleased.

“WHAT!? Midoriya just read him like a book! I knew that he was smart, but this kid is good at fighting too, Eraser! What can’t he do!?”

“I honestly believe that the only reason Midoriya was born quirkless was because God feared that Midoriya might challenge him and win if he had a quirk on top of everything else.”

When Midoriya opened his door and Shinsou finally took his first step into his neighbour’s room, he’d thought he’d been ready for a lot of nerdery, but...sweet jesus. Was he wrong.

“Dear god,” slips from his mouth faintly, without even intending it. His feet reflexively stop short in the doorway both out of shock and slight fear that, if he continues further, he’ll be blinded.

Midoriya’s room shines like the sun. It’s ironic, given that Shinsou frequently thinks Midoriya smiles like one, but this sight is...significantly less pleasant. All Might collectibles do indeed line the table and shelves, but on top of that, his curtains, bed, and rug are all All Might themed. All Might posters cover the walls, coating the room in garishly bright reds, blues, and yellows.

Now it isn't like Shinsou doesn't like All Might — the man is amazing, of course — but this is overwhelming. It's like being vigorously slapped in the face by a wall of colour.

“Oh...yeah...”

Shinsou manages to somehow tear his eyes away from Midoriya’s horrifically bright curtains to see the other boy had turned bright red, fiddling with his fingers and looking sheepish.

“Well, you know...I really admire him so...”

Shinsou stares.

“Midoriya, there’s a difference between admiration and turning your bedroom into a neon shrine. How the fuck do you sleep?”

“It’s not like you can see it when the lights are off!” Midoriya protests.

“Yeah but you have, like, ten little All Mights staring at you as you sleep,” Shinsou noted, looking at all the figurines lining the wall opposite the bed. “That doesn’t keep you up?”

Midoriya looked as if the thought had genuinely never occurred to him. “Wh— no! I mean, it’s not like I can see them either when it’s dark!”

Shinsou makes a disbelieving face. It’d keep him up. He didn’t need to see them. It was enough just knowing they were there. Staring with their...dead little eyes.

“Poor little match girl. Those matches won’t keep her warm till sunrise,” the merchant thought as he walked by.

But she had seen the merchant’s house.

And she was pretty sure it’d burn longer than that.
