Where do you come from?

Post by Anna Tshering Thu Jan 26, 2012 8:37 am

Well... not you you! I meant your character you! What inspired you to make your character? And what makes you think of your character? (For me, this list will get longer and longer as it goes on.)

(all these things i've done by gabrielle zevin)

“I did learn something about insanity while I was down there. People go crazy, not because they are crazy, but because it's the best available option at the time.”

“I let myself feel good and sorry for myself, but only for a second. Daddy always said that the most useless of all human emotions was self-pity.”

“Tragedy is when someone ends up dead. Everything else is just a bump in the road. For the record, that was something Daddy used to say.”

“It's a weakness to apologize before hearing what the other person's grievances are. You don't want to end up creating new grievances where there were none to begin with."

“Daddy always said that an option that you know to have a bad outcome is only a fool's option, i.e., not an option at all. And I liked to think that Daddy hadn't raised a fool.”

“Daddy once said, "If you don't know what you believe, Annie, you'll be a lost soul.”

“He told me that love was the only thing that really mattered in the world.”

“...lies can sound awfully pretty when a girl is in love with the person telling them.”

“The loss of one’s body is one thing. The loss of one’s mind is more than can be tolerated. Remember that, my dear one.”
— Nana Balanchine to Anya

"I never thought that you'd be the one to hold my heart,
You came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start.

You put your arms around and I believe
That it's easier for you to let me go
But you put your arms around me and I'm home

I hope that you'll see right through my walls,
I hope that you'll catch me, 'cause I'm already falling."

- Arms (mainly how Anna feels about Dante)

"Two am, where do I begin?
Crying off my face again
The silent sounds of loneliness
Wants to follow me again.

I'm the ghost of a girl that I once used to know.
I'm the shell of a girl I that I used to know well."

John Locke: I'm sorry those things happened to you, Ben.
Ben Linus: Those things had to happen to me. That was my destiny. But you'll understand soon enough that there are consequences to being chosen. Because destiny, John... is a fickle bitch.

John Locke: Man from Tallahassee? What is that? Some kind of code?
Ben Linus: No, John, unfortunately we don't have a code for "There is a man in my closet with a gun to my daughter's head" although we obviously should.

Jacob: Benjamin... whatever he's told you, I want you to understand one thing. You have a choice.
Ben Linus: What "choice"?
Jacob: You can do what he asked, or you can go, leave us to discuss our... issues.
Ben Linus: Oh... so now, after all this time, you've decided to stop ignoring me. 35 years I lived on this island, and all I ever heard was your name over and over. Richard would bring me your instructions - all those slips of paper, all those lists - and I never questioned anything. I did as I was told. But when I dared to ask to see you myself, I was told, "You have to wait. You have to be patient." But when HE asked to see you? He gets marched straight up here as if was Moses. So... why him? Hmm? What was it that was so wrong with me? What about me?
Jacob: [pause] What ABOUT you?

Ben Linus: Why do you want me to kill Jacob, John?
John Locke: Because despite your loyal service to this island, you got cancer. You had to watch your own daughter gunned down right in front of you. And your reward for those sacrifices? You were banished. And you did all this in the name of a man you've never even met. So the question is, Ben, why the hell WOULDN'T you want to kill Jacob?

Of course, if I was one of them, these people that you just assume are your enemies, what would I do? There would be no balloon so I would draw them out to a really secluded place, like a cave or some underbrush, a good place for a trap... an ambush. And when your friends got there a bunch of my people would be waiting for them. Then they would use them to trade for me. I guess it's a good thing I'm not one of them, huh? You guys got any milk?

“Everything's a story - You are a story -I am a story.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess

“Much more surprising things can happen to anyone who, when a disagreeable or discouraged thought comes into his mind, just has the sense to remember in time and push it out by putting in an agreeable, determinedly courageous one. Two things cannot be in one place.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

“Perhaps you can feel if you can't hear. Perhaps kind thoughts reach people somehow, even through windows and doors and walls. Perhaps you feel a little warm and comforted.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess

“If nature has made you a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart. And though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett

“The truth is that when one is still a child-or even if one is grown up- and has been well fed, and has slept long and softly and warm; when one has gone to sleep in the midst of a fairy story, and has wakened to find it real, one cannot be unhappy or even look as if one were; and one could not, if one tried, keep a glow of joy out of one's eyes.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess

“I pretend I am a princess,so that I can try and behave like one.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess

But I, I spit fire
On lovers and liars
And you don't believe me
And I, I find it easy, easy

You're recruited head diluted,
Through a glass eye
Dreams in fiction, Lost religion
But I don't mind

And maybe there's no harm, there's no harm, there's no harm in -
Maybe there's no harm, there's no harm in you

These are my suspensions
And I'll never know how this was a lost cause
And both sides are even
They are even and alone

Yeah, it's the same
Right or wrong
Yeah, it's the same thing
Right or wrong

- Both Sides Are Even, The Cold Still

I've seen all directions, it seems uncertain
Another world, in another world the past unspoken

There is nothing in between
Born unraveled at the seams
Lost where others seem to be
The first horizon wakes with me underneath

- Organ Song, The Cold Still

And no, I wouldn't let you think so

Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

Oh I've got to save my blood

You were always somewhere else.

I love it when people lie! Lying is man's only privilege over all other organisms. Lying is what makes me a man.

Truth won't escape you, but life can be cramped.

Hey! If words could kill
I heard from far away
Eerika won't get into heaven.

I count to ten and open my eyes again.
I count to ten and see sky everywhere.

Those words still ring
They want to kill.

- Ei Eerika Pääse Taivaaseen, Enemman Kuin Elaa

If life were easy, you would be just an asshole
Deceiver, leaver and eater of your words
If life were easy, you would be a bad person
Easily hated, beater of the weaker.

Of course I should be satisfied with what I've gotten before
That my home hasn't been bombed one morning
Of course I should be happy for you as well
and close my ears from the whispering of bitterness
I would do that, if I weren't in pieces
I would do that, if I weren't broken

- Jos elämä ois helppoo, Enemman Kuin Elaa

Love doesn't wear out it grows stronger
Flame doesn't burn under the bucket, it suffocates
World doesn't turn better if you don't make it better
So couldn't we try again?

Give me a moment
A moment to think over
Put the words in their places
To tell what I really need
Nothing too much, nothing unnecessary
Only the words that shake the sould
Give me a moment
Hear me, hear me

- Kuule minua, III

Moving away from edges, I give a punch to the air
I am carried by some force, it kills to be meager
Moving away from edges, through sound barriers
I'm aiming for the sky

- Moshpit, III

Sometimes I grow smaller
I disappear on a maze
Sometimes I can't go on
I close my eyes and play that I don't exist

Some times I'll fly further off
Closer to the sun

- Mua ei oo, Haloo Helsinki!

I'm probably stupid and childish
And I'm ridiculous when I admit it myself
You are playing a game that doesn't interest me
No need to win
I don't need to succeed

But they don't notice even if stared at
They can't get anything from me

Let’s go across the market square, let’s go across the market square
Not even the sea gulls are able to rise in the air from the road
The street drills roar, the street drills roar
But I don’t mind, I’m feeling deeply calm

- Mun sydän sanoo niin, Enemman kuin elaa

ceremonials, florence + the machine

Time it took us
To where the water was
That's what the water gave me

Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow

- What The Water Gave Me

Looking up from underneath,
Fractured moonlight on the sea.
Reflections still look the same to me,
As before I went under.

And the arms of the ocean are carrying me,
And all this devotion was rushing out of me,
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me,
But the arms of the ocean delivered me.

And it's over,
And I'm goin' under,
But I'm not givin' up!
I'm just givin' in.

Woooah!
Slipping underneath.
Woooah!
So cold, but so sweet.
- Never Let Me Go

think I'm breaking down again
I think I'm breaking down again

All alone
even when I was a child
I've always known
there was something to be frightened of
- Breaking Down

Holy water cannot help you now
A thousand armies couldn't keep me out
I don't want your money
I don't want your crown
See I have to tell you
I've come to burn your kingdom down

See I've had to burn your kingdom down
And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out
I'm gonna raise the stakes, I'm gonna smoke you out

Seven devils all around you!
Seven devils in my house!
See they were there when I woke up this morning
And I'll be dead before the day is done
- Seven Devils

I'm gonna be released from behind these lies
And I don't care whether I live or die
And I'm losing blood, I'm gonna leave my bones
And I don't want your heart, it leaves me cold

I don't want your future
I don't need your past
One bright moment is all I ask

I don't need a husband, don't need no wife
And I don't need the day, I don't need the night
And I don't need the birds, let them fly away
And I don't want the crowds, they never seem to stay

I'm gonna leave my body (moving up to higher ground)
I'm gonna lose my mind (history keeps pulling me down)
Said I'm gonna leave my body (moving up to higher ground)
I'm gonna lose my, lose my mind

- Leave My Body

And the heart is hard to translate
it has a language of its own
it talks in tongues and quiet sighs
and prayers and proclamations

in the grandest of great men
in the smallest of gestures
in short shallow gasps

but with all my education
I can't seem to command it
and the words are all escaping
coming back all damaged
and I would put them back in poetry if I only knew how
I can't seem to understand it

I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
that I could just understand
the meaning of the word you see
cause I've been scrawling it forever
but it never make sense to me at all

- All This And Heaven Too

And curse at the wind.
He broke his own heart, and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it.

But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are
If you're a man at all
Well, I'll figure this one out
On my own...

On my own...
(My thoughts you can't decode)

You made yourself a bed
At the bottom of the blackest hole
And convinced yourself that it's not the reason
You don't see the sun anymore

Yeah, 'cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence, and oh,
The promise we adored
Give us life again!
'Cause we just wanna be whole.

That's a... problematic question. I've been creating charries for so long that I actually dropped the 'inspirational' part and just 'do' make, by taking the 'conspect' of it from 'chaos' in my mind. You know, like whatever I can imagine I can twist it, warp it and change it till it doesn't look how it did and is so twisted that resembles more... I don't know what it resembles but it still resembles it more than anything else...

But going back to Felix... damn... I need to thing more about from where I took the consistuents for the guy. Easier to put step by step a simplified process of creating him but that woud be boring like hell... and believe me, I know what I am saying...

Unless I die, I will always be what I am

THIS. just this. Celeste is inspired by this one great novel by a great writer. it was actually a requirement to read this in school in English. and i am oh so thankful that i read it. it is a masterpiece. and because of this, i am more curious about ze French language that i am self-studying along with German. and Rora my master, please teach me. and of course, everything about me is also about her. and thank you Beatles (with all my life), Coldplay, a bit of Florence + The Machine & The Boxer Rebellion & The Temper Trap & Mumm-Ra & Wolfmother & Goo Goo Dolls, few of my favourite modern songs (Lee Dewyze, Phillip Phillips, Jason Mraz), related French movies i watched in coincidence while i was planning to create her and returning to HR, Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom, Hermione Granger, the lovely miss Fleur Delacour, and my curiosity for Herbology. c:

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo is next.
